"I Don't Trust Myself" Cover

More Music

Just messing around..

New Music

This is a little bit of music I threw together yesterday. It's just a skeleton but I want to start putting some lyrics to it soon..

New Lyrics

How will this help?

Put love on the shelf

Forget that it's there

Take one giant step

Try all you want 

To run from your fear

'Cause when you get back

I still will be here

Run..

From what you know and the people you love

Run..

From the changes you see in the way life was

Run..

Until at last that one day comes

Run..

Hard to believe

You'll ever stay

When all you do

Is walk away

But brick by brick

I'll tear down the wall

And stand behind

To break your fall

So go on..

Run..
From what you know and the people you love

Run..

From the changes you see in the way life was

Run..

Until at last that one day comes

Run..

Find the heart

To do your part

We have no chance

Unless you start

Love the good

Enjoy the fun

Resist the urge

To go and..

Run..

From what you know and the people you love

Run..

From the changes you see in the way life was

Run..

Until at last that one day comes

Run..

I want to figure out some sort of outro but I'm not sure what yet.

Lyrics Done Maybe?

I've added on to a few lyrics that I came up with last week and I think I might be done with it. I'm not sure yet.. seems a little melodramatic.

How do I think of the right thing to say?

What do I use to make the words come out right?

It's all in my head and yet it's a struggle

Putting words on the page is a constant fight

I thought this would be much easier to do

Take words from my heart and write a song for you

A constant shade of blue

Always piercing through

Why can't I just write a song for you?

It seems like all I do is make it harder on myself

I should focus on what I can do and not on someone else

But anytime I try to say

The way you make me feel

I wish that someone else could write it

So then their words I could steal

I thought this would be much easier to do

Take words from my heart and write a song for you

A constant shade of blue
Always piercing through

Why can't I just write a song for you?

These words don't do justice to the person you are

But it's all I've been able to come up with so far

So give me a chance to do good by the rest

And believe when I say..

I gave it my best

I gave it my best

I gave it my best

I give you my best.

I think writing a guitar part and a melody for this one is going to be tough. I'm not used to writing such wordy pieces. Most of my stuff is fairly simple and not too difficult so this should be a challenge.

New Lyrics

Days go by and still it seems

We're living in a world that doesn't cater to dreams

All they are teaching

All they are preaching

Is to dream up dreams but never really reach them

How can we win when all our future leaders

Only care if they're biters

Only care if they're bleeders

We have to wake up and smell the proverbial roses

Stop caring who's original and who are the posers

Only when we find faith can we truly be free

Break through the shackles that bind you and bind me

..just a start..

Headshots

Trying to decide which two headshots to choose. Any help would be sweet!

I narrowed it down from 75 to 8...

New Lyrics

Not sure what I think..

How do I think of the right thing to say?

What do I use to make the words come out right?

It's all in my head and yet it's a struggle

Putting words on the page is a constant fight

I thought this would be much easier to do

Take words from my heart and write a song for you

Roommate's Lullabye

Just adding on to Jesse's brilliance last night..

Well the time

It is for sleeping

But we're not going to be

We are staying 

Up late a-talking

'Cause we are the best of friends

We don't care 

What lies before us

When the morning sun rises

Be it class

Or work or nothing

All that matters is now

Because while time

It is for sleeping

We will not say goodnight

For this friendship

Is eternal

A bond for all time

I'm sure more will be added. This feels like the kind of song that all of us will contribute 5 verses, and that sounds perfect to me.

Such a funky song..

Flannel? Cardigans? Flannel cardigans?!?

Started writing this awhile back and suddenly felt the need to finish it..

I'm thinking of something

Never thought before

It would cover up my outsides

And can't be bought in any store

We would be best friends

Go everywhere together

Until the end

Together forever

Me and my cardigan

Wrapped in the comfort

Of your woolen thread

You'd keep me warm in the morning

Straight through until I go to bed

We would be best friends

Go everywhere together

Until the end

Together forever

Me and my cardigan

The question you might be

Asking one another

Is what makes this flannel

Greater than the others

Well I'm not sure

If this answer you can handle

But here it goes

This cardigan is flannel

We would be best friends

Go everywhere together

Until the end

Together forever

Me and my cardigan

Me and my cardigan

Me and my flannel cardigan

Me and my flannel cardigan

Rough draft but I like it so far.
