about

These are recordings i created myself in 2012 as an effort to develop a sound to match my current musical feeling. It's a project to propel me forward and an experiment. I've always felt that i'm an imposter - that i wasn't really a musician and definitely not able to produce my own recordings. This project is my attempt to (yet again) challenge that belief. Most of the songs are my original songs but there are also a few covers.

Lonely Fighter is the name of one of the songs and it aptly describes many of the feelings i have had pertaining to my art life and to music. Probably living in Los Angeles has something to do with that, but also leaving behind, several years ago now, a secure position to pursue what was at the time, nothing but a vague shadow of a plan to find a way to live a more creative life.

Thank you to anyone who has helped me with this project or any of my artist projects in 2012: Bergen Moore, Lucinda Vette, Seanie Blue Harris, Keppie Coutts, Mike Eaton, Ron Haas, Frank.

Track Name: Lonely Fighter (for video)
Lyrics:
I hear you speak in my fitful sleep
missing your words and the sounds of the rain and the clouds
of the beating of our wings
guess it's my fate to carry this ache in me
heavy sleep, heavy thoughts, wicked slumber

Wake me up, somebody
when i've had enough
whisper soft and gently
wake me up

i'm lost at sea, fighting my destiny
caught in some stormy waves, oh make me brave
for the war that's waged in me
yes it's the war, between what was and what will be
had to run, try my luck, lonely fighter

Wake me up, somebody
when i've had enough
whisper soft and gently
wake me up

Setting sun, highway stop, road behind us
had to run, try my luck, lonely fighter, lonely fighter,
lonely fighter

wake me up, somebody
when i've had enough
whisper soft and gently
wake me up
lonely fighter, wake me up
wake me up
wake me up
Track Name: The Greatest (covering Cat Power)
Once i wanted to be the greatest
no wind or waterfall could stop me, no
but then came the rush of the flood
stars of night turned deep to dust

Lower me down, to big black armor
leave no trace of grace, just your honour
lower me down, to culprit south
let em wash a place in town for the lead
the dregs of my bed, i been sleepin'
lower me down, pin me in, secure the grounds
for the later parade

once i wanted to be the greatest
2 fists of solid rock
with brains the could explain any feeling
lower me down pin me in secure the grounds
for the lead, the dregs of my bed, i been sleepin
for the later parade

once i wanted to be the greatest
no wind or waterfall could stop me, no
but then came the rush of the flood
and stars of night turned deep to dust
