tried to bend
i couldn’t actually
even break!
tried to bend
i couldn’t actually
even break!
I don’t always have to like these
i don’t know if i like this one
right now
it’s cool that i accidentally did that fancy thing that fancy music majors do when they use weird rhythms
and yes i’m proud that i didn’t do it on purpose
per se
but i don’t know what this feeling is here:
a waiting
an unresolved
an unknown
somewhere always winding
and no resolution
unresolved
unresolved mystery
i don’t have to like these
or even do a good job
or love them
or do them at all
ok?
and yet
it lives here.
when can we have
the big parade
?
no need
.
.
.
.
.
i went
there
i went
to there
go away
go away
go
but don’t leave
maybe i
should not
talk
at a
ll
too bad to miss them so
if only
i
we
had
the right
equipment
for the jobs
can you hear me doing
all the looping
yeah
me too
no way to know
unless i told you
how much
i
want
you
to
know
nthing
o
mch
u
just here to there
and
occasional
mis
spelling
the vast
the
to be feared
the
other side
the
any time
the
burning turning urging
never
the less
endless
the glow
go just
go
and
run
and go
and
i’ll catch up
too long
to sit
on site
and breathe
all saying
go now
into concrete
later tonight
be peace
don’t worry
warm wind come
blue the cold wind
out of my
cold dream
may we also
begin it
together
running
somewhere
happily?
iron like fire
and burn
to be
turned
red
let the stoker
sit
inside a while
all too
shall pass
always evolving
let things unfold
and if you are hurting
then
let that
unfold
quest
fully
just forget it
tryptich completed
more fire
more birds
more ukelele
from a glorious evening on the shores of redwood creek
earlier this month i had the opportunity to camp beside redwood creek in redwood national & state parks… was by far one of the most archetypically beautiful places i’ve ever been. I brought my ukelele!
birds + ukelele + creek + wind + fire
go go go
back
to
the start
and go go go
again
here we go again!
i’m not sorry
for being gone so long
you could have
dropped a line
hey hey
oh at 50 are we
at
well
i know
it all matters
some day i’ll just
dance
and all the other
things
i think are real
will fall
away
we can make this go round together
in the cabin one night
all forks
in the road
were split
and
i went
this way
into the
wide open
and obvious
space
between
what we want to be
and what
we are
finally
a place
to
rest
my head
turn yr world
upside down
get a little picture
put it in a little globe
someday
none
will read this
all will be reviled
all mystery disabled by
tyrant children
mastermind
forget
lets get
high up on the roof
for rising water
of sleep
oh
to go
to a place
where i can
could
sit on a hill
playing mandolin forever
never out of tune
maybe a delay pedal too
up to
no
good
too steep too climb
in so many a day
been gone in the
lost highway
off the way there
little town
get off
and disappear
into
forgiveness
so deep
the dive
into the alive
that i forgot
it’s not
what i wrote
to you
what i spoke either
quiet places
so left out
in the course of
any normal day
all day long
you are in my mind
then my thoughts
swallow it all
and forge
toward
but
this ember
still
breathes
why am i this way
no really
i know
navel gazing
star gazing
day lazing
whiskey grazing
endless mazing
it feels like
a way
i didn’t choose
this way
meaning: i didn’t mean to do YET ANOTHER SUPER MELANCHOLY SONG
but i did anyways!
good to get less
mess
i like the idea of playing with
not songs
not there at a ll
but want to maybe live inside one moment
for long enough
to make it not forget
able
wish i was closer to you
through
that
honestly
good morning you
in the world
in the
what?
I have missed you
cold studio
and you
bold listener
I don’t want to have any rules
or not have any rules any more
and but
i don’t want to make the same thing again and again.
it’s a balance.
staying off balance maybe
may be
where it’s at
I don’t know why I make such moody music all the time
it’s not really a reflection of anything in me per se
it’s not really a reflection
also i took a break
yay for breaks!
ok ok
here we are
ok
can’t make it be
can’t not make it
b
gotta wait and see
until then
brea
the
and
let’s
just
sigh
together
get thee
to the
church
fall through time
disconnect
between worlds
I both miss it and I don’t
being told
what God is
what i see
is
God vs. the world
now
sometimes
no
that’s bullshit
that’s what I see church seeing God as
let’s sit down and play guitar for the rest of our lives
what can i say all
or none?
what can i say tho
me or thee
free or
want to
disappear
into shared space
with noone
