solo piano recorded on an h4. winter in america, so the piano goes out of tune quickly.

I have always loved this haunting, lovely song. A family favorite to be sung before drifting off to sleep.

One of the first rounds my mom taught me. We sang this for hours as the family paddled down rivers, hiked mountains, and sailed the ocean blue.

Imagine sailing offshore in a small boat. The waves are sloshing over the side and the wind is high. Mom would start singing and soon my brother and sister would join in. Dad and I to follow and the sun would follow us over the bay. Thought…

Original song belongs to Mike Shinoda.

Words by Michael Thomas Music by Chris Mitchell & Michael Thomas

A song about false friends

A song against traitors

A song about lost love

A song against boneheads.

A song about the daily hate.

A song against suicide

Band Hymne

A cultural relic we feel fortunate to have procured.

(Instrumental version)

One part Guy Richie, one part Cirque du Soleil, the rest a trip down a gypsy campsite. Played by me almost all acoustically (the only MIDI track was the bass) on my banjo, detuned guitar, recorder, and violin, along with various percussion items.

I am. I am. I am. A mix of sadness and hope... Recorded Jan 1, 2010.
