Visions of light that rise all through the morning
reflect through themselves into dead afternoons
Rusty old trumpets that call out their warning
they leave you with feelings uneasy yet true
When you can see the stars in the night falling out of the sky
Crazy and free, they all seem to say
Don't be afraid to be on your way
[voice:] well I finally got around to making this, uh, record
and I find I don't know what to say
you know I miss you an awful lot
matter of fact I miss you so much I can't put it into words
you probably don't believe that though
say how about...

An interesting thing about this song... it was the final song on Anhedonia. The voice that you hear speaking at the end is my grandfather who died back in 1952 (23 years before I was born). I found an old 78rpm record that he had made in an Officers' Club when he was in the military during WWII. You used to go into a booth and record a message on the record and then you could send it home. So I found this old record and uploaded it and cleaned it up a bit and used it to close my first REAL record. The funny thing is, he says, "I finally got around to making this record." Anhedonia took me 8 months to make because I had a hard drive failure towards the end that put me out of commission for almost two months.

Another nice song. However, to be honest, I like your previous songs more.

Gettin' started on my Tour of your music...and WHAT A GREAT START!! This reminds me of Ian Matthews....an old acoustic rock favorite of mine. LOVE the instrumentation. Your choice of instruments really covers alot of areas...and adds such a GREAT VIBE to the song. SUPER VOX!!! Man!! This is just getting stronger, as it goes. Very COOL ending THANKS! SO MUCH for sharing your music...Definite DL, for me.

I am essentially a one-man band. Though I had a band for a while to play the songs live with only the bass player has ever recorded with me. I write, record, engineer, produce, play, sing, mix, and master all these projects on my own. So that may account for some of their deficiencies but at least I get to execute my vision for the songs the way I want.
My goal is to somehow integrate doo-wopp (why did it cross that out?) and late 50s pop melody influences with an Americana roots-based songwriting approach (which I can't seem to get rid of no matter how hard I try) with the experimentation and instrumentation of mid-late 60s progressive pysch chamber pop. A friend of mine recently called it "modern freaked out Americana". I think I like that.
