Match

Taking a day off and leaving you with this wonderful original in case you haven’t already listened.

Match

The weight of your worries

Weighs heavily on my mind

As we both search for answers

That are impossible to find

A kind word or a loving gesture

Cannot fix what is broken

But what hurts the most

Are all of the words unspoken

I’d like to say It’ll be okay

But we both know that’s not true

When no words can cure the pain today

It’s the little things that get you through

So if you need a light to guide the way

I’ve still got a match or two

So tell me to go or tell me to stay

But I’ll still be there for you

You’re going through the motions

But underneath that front

Is all the pain and turmoil

Of which you bear the brunt

I’d like to say It’ll be okay

But we both know that’s not true

When no words can cure the pain today

It’s the little things that get you through

So if you need a light to guide the way

I’ve still got a match or two

So tell me to go or tell me to stay

But I’ll still be there for you

A Day in the Recording Studio

For those who don’t know, I have been collaborating with a very talented musician and friend, Kristina Looney. The product of these collaborations is pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. Just last week, we took a trip to the recording studio and recorded some of the songs we had finished. By we, I mean I stood outside the recording booth and made funny faces at her while she strummed and sang. We each have crucial roles in this partnership.

While I continue to write sad lyrics and she continues to demand happy tunes to be strummed on her ukulele, it seems that this partnership is the start of something good. So please, LISTEN! And be sure to keep an eye out for more great tunes in the new year.

You can check out our songs here, or on my “Music” page that will be updated as we continue to record! If you really like what you hear, our songs can be downloaded for just $1! Our first CD will be available soon!
