Your Friends Flew South Many Months Ago.

I was bored, and I couldn't be bothered working on my own song, or re-recording that Bon Iver song (which I will do soon). So I decided to take my new found love for Devendra Banhart in covering one of his songs. It was simple to play, and sing, so I busted it out in a few minutes, enough to temporarily solve boredom. Anyways, I really hope you like it, if you don't, as per usual I'll try better next time. Have a good day.

Hooves Instead Of Hands.

I've been procrastinating writing this song. Someone motivate me please? This is my problem, I share this problem with Kevin Smith evidently. I don't get writers block, I get writer's laze. Which is really equally as annoying. I've got all the pieces, I just need to assemble them. On a different note, I discovered this wonderful, wonderful man recently;


He's an amazing individual. I hope you enjoy his work. In the mean time, take care, and have a nice day.

Come On Skinny Love Just Last The Year...

This is one of two of my covers for this song. I figured I'd post a cover closer to the original song as well as one which is more of a reinvention rather than a cover. I really hope you like it, keep in mind, it is flawed, as per usual, I'm only an amateur :(. Have a lovely day, and thanks for listening.



Screw it, I'll post the second one as well :). Keep in mind this isn't the final version, the vocals aren't very good for the first half of the video, I will DEFINITELY re-record. Try not to laugh at my falsetto :(.

Introspectively, I Explode.

Every time I get upset I always pick up my guitar, it's the absolute most efficient way to express your joy, angst, sadness, and whatever else you may feel in a fashion that others can appreciate. So I came up with this little number. It's semi-improvisational so you'll have to forgive the lack of structure (at least I ask you to). It's not as upbeat as the music I normally write but I think it's a nice change of pace. Anyway, I really hope you enjoy it, and if you don't, I'll try better next time. Have a nice day.

The Winner Is...

I wish I wrote this :(.
I also wish I directed the scene it first appears in.
I'd show it to you but I can't find it on YouTube.
I've watched this film like 3 times since I bought it a couple days ago, I forgot how wonderful and touching it is.

Sumer Skies & Bright Blue Eyes.

I was feeling productive today, and this is the result. I'm fairly happy with it, I'd like to record it again with a vocal track and perhaps add a mandolin in the mix. When I have money that is. This is really just to prove to you all that I do in fact have a sense of inspiration and originality, rather than simply covering another artist's work. I hope I have convinced you. The title is temporary, until I can establish a general theme to which I will be writing some lyrics for. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. Have a lovely day.
