Writing songs for my new cd...I play all my own instruments, do my own vocals, produce and engineer.
I am just a hobbyist, creating music in a vacuum as an answer to the ultimate zen riddle. I play all my own instruments, do all my own vocals, write all music and lyrics, and arrange, engineer and produce my own tracks in my home studio.

Lyrics
Falling Forward I got a little problem, that's what she said I need someone to help me silence the voices in my head The same blade that cuts these lines can be used to cut my wrist I don't know if I'm strong enough to resist Chorus: You gotta walk before you run, but my feet can't feel the ground The breath I draw means nothing to the world that's spinning around Every time I try to scream, I cannot make a sound I'm just falling forward to keep from falling down I'm just falling forward.... to keep from falling down A drop of blood from a child's nose dries on the glass I wonder how a life so young slipped away from her so fast The mirror shows what everyone knows it's the one thing she can't see The little lies the soul believes in are free Chorus: You gotta walk before you run, but my feet can't feel the ground The breath I draw means nothing to the world that's spinning around Every time I try to scream, I cannot make a sound I'm just falling forward to keep from falling down I'm just falling forward.... to keep from falling down Bridge: Shine a light on your road to darkness, you wear your thorny crown One straw can be used to dig your grave Take a piece of each broken heart that was scattered on the ground You might find it's your own life you can save The curtains blow and the shadows dance on the wall I lay awake and ask God to help me catch her if she falls But just like every time before, only silence met my pleas Broken by the echoes wrapped in the breeze Chorus: You gotta walk before you run, but my feet can't feel the ground The breath I draw means nothing to the world that's spinning around Every time I try to scream, I cannot make a sound I'm just falling forward to keep from falling down I'm just falling forward.... to keep from falling down I got a little problem, that's what she said.....

This is a well articulated arrangement. Spot on vocal performance with great emotion and determination. Superb musical flow with the acoustic guitar providing so much character. Outstanding!
