yellow baby
This is definitely one of my favorite songs. It takes some artistic license as I presume to know what a dead Brandon Lee might have to say, but I like to think it isn’t too far off. From a songwriting perspective, this is probably the most complete piece I’ve ever done. The song is littered with musical metaphors for Brandon’s career, and yes, the song is supposed to end like that.
wounded
The second track from the second major-label release by Third Eye Blind, Wounded is a really fantastic song that I only recently figured out how to play. And when I say “figured out,” I really mean “asked the Internet.”
wistful
This is a pretty fast-paced number, reminiscent of , with a bit more of a melody. There are also some of those rare signs of a struggle vocal harmonies. I like this song very, very much. I think that everybody can identify with a feeling of regret, everybody can look back and say, “I wish I had done this or that differently.” It’s been pointed out to me that there are other interpretations regarding the song’s main theme, but any creative work is subject to that, so all I can do is apologize if the message, or rather, the message as interpreted per person, hurts anybody’s feelings.
under a bad star
Here’s a frustrated rant about my struggle to go somewhere with my music in the face of some popular younger artists who appear to be, in a relative sense, handed their success. It’s sort of a stupid thing to complain about, but this is how the whole thing came to me, and it sounds pretty cool when it’s all put together. Besides, I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who feel frustrated in their job when they see someone younger passing them by with little apparent effort.
tin lisa
Here’s an older one that I wrote a bit after I sold off my 4-track. It’s a breakup number that splinters off into a nice generalization of women, based upon my experience at the time, of course. The image is meant to be that of a toy factory making little tin women instead of the old tin soldiers.
three days in a hospital
The first new song of 2007. The only song I think I’ve ever written that I wish I just hadn’t.
the things i should have seen but did not
This song shares its title with an email I sent to my ex-wife when I was feeling fully responsible for the death of our marriage. Shortly after she pretty much said that it was all my fault. Of course, now we all know that she was to blame. Anyways, lots of personal revelations, beating myself up, the usual.
they’re everywhere
The first new song of aught-five, this is a pretty plain song about how I fall in love with about every third girl i meet. Happens every week. Happened in January, so I wrote this down. I don’t go into what happens after that, which is a near-total loss of interest and a new fixation on somebody else… that would take either a much longer song, or a couple different songs after this one, and I haven’t done anything about that yet.
sweet
This is a pretty simple song, not really about much. Just a couple girls that passed me by and came to mind along with the chord progression for the song.
stray
This is a pretty short, simple number. It’s about my relationship with my parents, which is a thread I touch on several times in a number of songs. I wonder if they’ll ever listen to any of them. Hmmm, probably not.
