This is, in effect, my virtual stress ball. Full of my writing ... and stuff.

how do you do your recording and such for your songs? You're wonderful, by the way!

Hi!

I use a Rode NT1-A mic connected to a Lexicon Lambda audio interface which is connected to my laptop. I use Adobe Audition 3 to edit my recordings. 

Thank you!! :D

Doing covers of songs I wish I wrote. To be honest, I think this was a bit ambitious of me but I love this song so much that I had to try. (Basically, I love everything by Alison Sudol). It’s not perfect, but it will do. HAHA. Listen with ear/headphones :)

Thinking of doing covers of songs I wish I wrote as part of a collection or something.

Might have to put the volume up a bit. This song was written in about an hour. It was one of those writing sessions where you’re so engrossed in the music that it’s like you leave the earth for a few moments and then suddenly it’s done, right before you. I honestly don’t think I can top this song, but we’ll see. Lyrics are here. Listen with ear/headphones as usual :)

you and i are the same
and our minds are to blame
so aligned i can’t pull them apart 
even then it would all go to waste

whispered words in the night
oh, i’ll never be right
with the moon and the stars as my witness
i’ll vow to keep you out of sight

but i wrote a thousand words
and i’ve sung a thousand melodies
and i’ll never run out if you’re right next to me
you’re an infinite fountain
inspired my heart’s symphony

see us more clearly now
you are dangerous somehow
set my soul on fire
you’re burning me down

didn’t know i could fear this much
still on the edge of giving up

Writing a sad song.

Happy songs are definitely not as satisfying to write and record as sad songs.

HAR HAR. Using my soundcloud from now on for my music uploads. Here’s my new happy song! It was equally fun and frustrating to record. Listen with ear/headphones as usual :)

LYRICS:
you with the hazel eyes
oh, you tell the sweetest lies
you’ve got me falling right into your trap

thought i would realise
there’s no faking my disguise
you’re everything i’d happily take back

it all gets clearer when i get nearer to you

i don’t know what to do
this feeling’s so brand new 
you’re pulling strong
it’s true
you are my only muse
you’re something i can’t lose
so for now, if you don’t mind
i’m holding on

taking a little step
‘cause you are not second best
don’t know if i can make it through this fight

count all the time that’s left
i remember all you said
your company it fills me with delight

it’s just my luck i think i’m stuck on you
