My car hit a tumbleweed Out on "back 40" last night Made it through unscathed For now, I guess (But) then it got me thinking 'Bout you and me What if we're just a car and a tumbleweed Always colliding? I know I'm not perfect Got my share of work to do But what about you? What about us? ooh.... Anyway, I just called Got to get to work, anyhow But I love you still, I guess Even now Even now

Run The spinning 'round in circles Brings us up to speed on what's around Cost The higher price of living Kills us while we're still above the ground Don't you know The secret's in the sauce And we'll keep cooking 'Til we figure out Breathe Another day to draw your pay Another day to drown it out So we're saying Stop - and - go Keep it in motion now Oh we're saying Stop - and - go Until we know *Geetar* Fight You might as well keep swingin' 'Til you're tapped out And it's time to go Heart The problem of the matter Is a lack of virtue From the bold Don't you know The habit of the truth Is more a matter from The furrowed brow Faith It's far beyond a reason It's the legend Of the golden crown So we're saying Stop - and - go Keep it in motion now Oh, we're saying Stop - and - go Until we know Oh, we're saying Stop - and- go Keep it in motion now *Geetar* again, but longer

Everything we know, now Find a way Headed towards the sunset Home Lay your hand upon mine While we dream Can we capture feelings In repose? *synth riff*

These sentimental reasons Talking me through another change This overwhelming insight Bringing us to an empty phase Oh babe, I wish I could hide all the mistakes That brought us here Make misery a delight - find a way To make us heal I'm looking at the night sky just like old times And I wish you well I'm sending all of my love out like a flood Only time will tell

tulip 02:56
Tulip You're the apple to the eye You're the color of the soul A soft moon Tracing contours to the edges Seek the safest touch to hold Tulip You're the texture to the surface You're the spark within the globe A soft hue All the blues and greens unmatching Casting shadows on the walls Tulip You're the fabricated image Of the thoughts I want to say A pink bloom Bringing forth the light within you Just to see it through today Just to see it through today

It's not like we planned Another escape It's not like we could Bargain with fate It's written with proof It's a forgone conclusion we know A method of truth A bird in hand I'll call out the names I'll put it in motion I'll work my way towards Aggrandized devotion It's what we might want It's a forgone conclusion we know A block out of time To delegate

about

This small collection of songs has been a long time coming. Seven years, really, but the last five years, well, if you look at my Bandcamp page, you'll notice the first song published back in 2016 was in memory of my father.

His death, coupled with a few other significant losses, impacted me in an unforeseen, rather unfathomable way. I've learned a lot about living since 2016 - as I think a lot of us have since then - and I've learned a lot about acceptance and fragility through the last year and a half.

I know as humans it is all rather uncertain and daunting. My hope is that the imperfection and vulnerability of these tunes will encourage you and bring some catharsis. Hope to be able to perform them amongst other people in the future, and we'll put together some proper recordings from those live performances.

In the meantime, here's what I've mustered.

Thank you for supporting independent artists, and thank you for being you.
