i’m supposed to love the best

trying is just a frustrating game
when things never change
for you
i’m supposed to be my best self
and i try

i’m supposed to move heaven and hell
and i try
trying is just a frustrating game
when things never change
trying amounts to a pointless game
when things never change

Weekly Sketch #01
the boys and girls
from serve and protect
come in the night
and steal your blankets
as proof you were there
(cuz) you don’t belong there
(and they joke)
you don’t belong anywhere
stripped of belongings
left in the cold
with no where to sleep
no where else safe go
and it’s not just cold
it’s three below.
hah hah hah hah
funny policeman says
move to florida
as he thinks about his warm bed
and you hang your head
you’re on your knees
frozen breath
stings your cheeks
hah hah hah hah hah hah
funny policeman
and it’s not just cold
it’s three below.
What started years ago as a collaboration between engineer/co-producer Nate Dort and I has finally come to a close. The new album (CD and digital download) is on bandcamp. Stream below. Give me a shout on Facebook or Twitter and let me know what you think!
Denver area folks, I have a solo release show this Friday, 11/21, at The Park House, 8pm. Come by and say hi.
In preparation for next month’s RPM Challenge 2010, Nate Dort and I got together at his studio and re-recorded this track from last year’s Feat 52. (Nate Dort on bass, keys, faders.) Having worked some of the kinks out, we’ll be ready to hit the ground running next monday. Stay tuned for more info on and links to our project.
I’ve added an mp3 player to the side bar on the right with playlists for each quarter of last year’s song-a-week project, Feat 52. give them a listen. feedback on last year’s project is appreciated. i’m considering remixing several of the best songs from Feat 52 for an EP to be released later this summer. add a comment to this post and cast your vote.
also, check back often as i plan on adding more playlists/mp3s to it in the near future.
cheers,

Feat 52: Week #52!!
well, shoot… never thought i’d really be saying this but… this song wraps up Feat 52, the year-long song-a-week project (during which i bend the common conceptions “week” and “song”). it’s been a great experience and a royal pain in the ass. doubt i’ll do it again. check back next week when i’ll be posting an mp3 player with all 52 songs on it for easy playing, sampling, etc…
one of my few concessions to the south… the spring is damn beautiful down here.
