The Porch 03:56
Steam rising off my cup as I step outside, It's hot to the touch but it sits just right, The cold air kissed the ice, This porch of frost feels just right.

River Bound 03:28
Sittin by myself at night staring as the smoke drifts through the light and I'm left wanting more, My thoughts step outside to a place which I soon realize I'd known not too long before, I've seen the river, And I've seen the water flow, I bend down to take a sip but I can't feel it on my lips because it's only a figment of my mind, It seems oh so real even though it's nothing I can feel I know it's out there hiding, I've seen the river, And I've seen the water flow, Oh oh oh river bound.

Roots 02:44
Oh that woman, She lives deep down in my soul, She was there the day that I was born, And I know damn well she'll be there when I am old, That woman they call the blues I know you can hear her callin you at night, Well I hear her singin every night even though she knows it's just not right, I try to be civil try to be fair but my mind's upset and I'm losing my hair, I know she gets amused by dealing my cards so I can lose, That woman they call the blues makes her living deep down in my roots, I try to shake her but she won't go, I try to love her but she says no, That woman they call the blues makes her livin deep down in my roots.

All on Film 03:41
Falling into the cracks of my mind, I can't recall that place where I left my happiest times, I haven't been home now in quite some time but, It's feelin colder and I'm gettin older, If I tried to run I'd just flip right over and fall down, My memories would capture it all on film, I come to a fork in the way of my indecision, My vision is hazy as hell oh can't you tell, Is it dark? Is it light? I just can't tell the night from the day, As I fade away and my psyche deteriorates, My memories capture it all on film.
5.
Am I in shining armor? Please let me know, If I go to battle, With that heart of yours, But now I'm rollin on, Rollin on, I'm rollin on home, Well you said you loved me, And that was a lie, Your words they haunt me, They keep me up at night, So now I'm rollin on, Rollin on, Rollin on home, Now I'm lost with no chance, Drivin through the night, I just need me some romance, Make me feel all right, So now I'm rollin on, Rollin on, Rollin on home.

about

This project is a collection of acoustic tunes which I recorded on my own over the span of a month. I used a cassette tape recorder to record the backing acoustic tracks for all the songs as I sat out on my porch most mornings while recording. I hope the sound of these tunes create a feeling of comfort and familiarity for you to enjoy time and time again. Please enjoy :)
