Mark Shaped Like a Heart - new song

I wrote another new song!

It'll be part of a new album!

The album I just released, "SIP", is available HERE!

And HERE!

Or you could just ask me for a copy... I'd probably sell you one.

I really like writing and recording songs.

3 New Songs! Pumpkins, Hearts, and Giggle Loops!

I need to post things I make right after I make 'em.

Oops...

Pumpkin seeds are sprouting! Soon they'll be vining! And then... HALLOWEEN!!!

A love song. About my wife. Because they all are. Even if the people in the song aren't actually me or my wife.

A song inspired by the BBC comedy "Coupling".

I wrote this a long time ago, but have only just now recorded it, finally.


Please to enjoy all 3 from them!

Watch!

Share!

Like!

Care!

Somebody... please pay me to do this...

"This Wheel" my entry to the 2016 Tiny Desk Concert Contest!

Hey, guess what!

I entered last year with what I think is one of my best songs! They put it on the official tumblr and said some nice things about it.

This year's song isn't as good.

From the youtube description:

"This is my submission to NPR's 2016 Tiny Desk Concert Contest!


Lyrics:

This wheel is a-turning
through snow and sleet and hail
this wheel is a-turning
over broken glass and nails.

This wheel is a-turning
'cuz that's what wheels do.
This wheel is a-turning, baby
but not back to you!

This fire is a-burning
with a flame so bright.
The wind and rain won't snuff it out
it flickers through the night.

This fire is a-burning
with a flame so pure and true
this fire is a-burning, honey
in spite of you!

This heart is a-yearning
for a love so deep and sweet
a love to set it racing
and make it skip a beat.

This heart is a-yearning
but I guess that's nothing new.
This heart is a-yearning, sweetheart
but it won't break over you.

This wheel is a-turning, baby
watch it roll away from you!




This song started out as an attempt to write a song with the rhythmic feeling of "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash, but as I started writing lyrics it just became a pile of song cliches. It felt right.

I hope you all love it, and it helps you learn to love again!"



I know I won't win, but I figure it doesn't hurt to try!

Plus I had the new song written.

And it was fun last year.

And it might get my other videos a few more views.

Why do I feel like I need to explain my actions to you? You're one of the few people who read my blog sometimes. You're probably on my side already.

Day 76 - Doodles - 3/16/2015

I didn't get a Thing made yesterday. So I made something today to put up for yesterday.

It's a doodle. I doodled while I was trying to come up with an idea. This is it.

There's a heart/flower thing. A sarcastic looking elf/smurf without a hat. And... GROUND  BEEF!!!

I made it. It counts as a Thing.

Doodle, Doodle, Doodle.
