In 2020 - Part 1 In 2020 - Part 1
A song about power, politics and medication. Along with anger, fear, depression and hopelessness. I wrote this just before the CoronaVirus became a pandemic and before we became aware of it. So, perhaps this song should be called "2020 Part 1"

(I CONFESS TO THIS) UNEXPECTED HAPPINESS (I CONFESS TO THIS) UNEXPECTED HAPPINESS
Sometimes we can live our lives with long extended periods of sadness and depression, that seems like theyll never end. But once in a while, during these bouts of depression, we might get brief moments of Unexpected Happiness. I confess to this.

This Ain't Livin' This Ain't Livin'
A song about depression and an apology to all those I've wronged because of it.

I'm So Down I'm So Down
The title says it all. While the lyrics say "sad", the music says...well, "It's not so bad". A friend described the sound as a cross between Leonard Cohen and the Fugs, with a bit of mid-70s Dylan thrown in. See "Story Behind The Song" for more.
