Time To Get Up

This is a rerecording of an older song of mine (probably my favorite). I hadn't listened to it in a while and was struck by how much fuzz noise there was. I put a capo on, added some stuttering percussion and some very light harmony towards the end, and I would love any thoughts on this new version. There is a discussion on criticism in MeMuTalk, and I would like to let it be known that my songs are always put up for criticism, whether one word or one paragraph. Comments make my day.

Hobbes

Here is an improvisational song written from the perspective of an older Calvin finding Hobbes in a box. It's recorded in one take with Mythbusters on in the background, and the chords are from this comment by sleepy pete. As such, I also tried to write the lyrics in his style.

Avery Island (Cover)

I stumbled across this wonderful instrumental on Neutral Milk Hotel's Avery Island today, and came up with an idea.

You'll Never Know, Dear

This may be the most covered song on MuFi.

Bury Your Tracks

A more ambitious song I've been working on for a while. Would really, really love any feedback.

The Shepherd

This is a song based on my favorite poem.

That's All

Here's a somewhat sappy song about a former lady friend in DADF#A (I broke my high E string the other night, so no tuning for that one). I wrote and put it together this morning.

instrumental

Here is a song without words, yet. I've got some questions on the inside.

Shelter

This is a song a friend of mine named Audrey Johnston wrote that I think is pretty.

Naming Everything

This song is about half my lyrics, and half other mefites.

Bird Stealing Bread

Since it's all the rage, here's a cover.

Syllable

Here's another song, aptly named for its one beat per syllable nature.

A less than two minutes song.

It's Time to Get Up

A short song about sleeping in and not having someone to rely on.

The Long Trail

Foolishly recorded next to a loud computer. Features whistling, a shaker, and tapping on guitar percussion. Perhaps worth a rerecording someday. Named after a trail that cuts all the way across Vermont.

King Kong Song

This is the second song I wrote when I started learning the guitar in February. This was when I could not sing as I played guitar unless I sang one syllable per strum. Starts slow, but the second half is kind of fun so don't give up right away.
