🎤  Show lyrics & chords in new tab. February 2024 This very rough initial draft, which I recorded with my iPad, is just a placeholder. The song was inspired by, and borrows from, a poem written by a friend.
Fun While It Lasted (Be Careful What You Wish For)
🎤  Show lyrics & chords* in new tab. February 2025 Not sure if this is pretty or too sappy for words. *Lyrics updated since the recording.
If You Knew From The Start
🎤  Show lyrics & chords in new tab. April 2025 Felt like using the chord sequence D, A, C, G after listing to Linger from the Cranberries. Quickly written but re-recorded in August. (I have been on a deep dive listening to Delores O'Riordan and the Cranberries, I can't even begin to express how much I love her voice and music and performances—she was a true genius.)
The Painter
🎤  Show lyrics & chords in new tab. May 2025 This is a rough recording that needs work. I wrote several different melodies for this song, and ended up with two that I liked. One of these melodies is used for the first two verses and choruses and the other is used for the last verse and chorus. You can see the poem the song is based on here. *Lyrics updated since the recording.
