New Song - "At Least Until Dawn"

Alright so the first line of the chorus came into my head while I was watching my little brother play video games. Inspiration comes from everywhere I suppose!  I'm gonna start posting youtube links instead of downloads, it's just easier and then maybe I can start selling music! Anyway, this is a duet I wrote and then recorded with my friend Rebekah, Grant (drums), and Rebekah's dad (bass). We're gonna record another take later, but for now this will give everyone an idea of what I was going for. Enjoy!

I've been stumblin around, barely dragging my feet up off the ground. 
But I straightened up on that dark night that I found you standing alone. 
You looked like a thousand miles from home so I took you in 
we sat in my truck until you said


"I don't know who you are, I don't know where you've been, 
but right now you're here and I'm wondering if you're stickin around 
or if you're gonna leave. Well I'm hoping that you will keep me company. 
Cause it's been a long night and my friends are all gone
 so please hold me close, at least until dawn, at least until dawn."


I was staggering down a street on the darkest side of town, 
but I sobered up when I heard the sweet and gentle sound 
of you offering me a seat in your 1983 chevrolet. 
I only had one thing to say

"I don't know who you are, I don't know where you've been, 

but right now you're here and I'm wondering if you're stickin around 

or if you're gonna leave. Well I'm hoping that you will keep me company. 

Cause it's been a long night and my friends are all gone

 so please hold me close, at least until dawn, at least until dawn."

We could sit here all day, and pretend like we don't know what to say. 
We could skip to the action and let all our sorrows fade away 
along with the suffering. It's time to forget that painful sting
 of all the wrong choices that made us lose the heart to sing


And I don't know who you are, but I don't really care. 
You made me feel like a someone when no one was there. 
So I'm askin you now if you'll stay here with me.
 Cause I just can't bear losing this harmony.
 And it's been a long night, and my friends are all gone.
 So please hold me close at least until dawn, at least until dawn.

New Song - "My Little Ticker"

It's been a while, blogosphere! Obviously I've been real busy, going home for the summer and all.  Even though I don't have a job (yet) I'm keeping myself relatively busy.  Not really as far as writing songs go, but other things. I promise.  Anyway, I did finally write another song in honor of love fests that occur in the summer. Enjoy!

My Little Ticker.m4a

Here we go again: I think I've found a bird to share my nest
and it's crazy 'cause I never would've guessed.
One more time again: I gotta see your face before I leave
to the city of love now honey come with me.

I really gotta hand it to you baby you know me so well
you broke into my heart and stole the footholds 'til I fell
in love with all the mischief that you're making. You're causing
such a scene inside my little ticker, yeah if you know what I mean.

Call me up again: you know I'm waiting by my phone all night
just praying you feel what I feel inside.
Let's meet up again: I'd love to see you glow under the moon.
I'm just saying it could never be soon.

And I really gotta hand it to you baby you know me so freakin' well
you broke into my heart and stole the footholds 'til I fell
in love with all the mischief that you're making. You're causing
such a scene inside my little ticker, yeah if you know what I mean.

I'm crazy about you, can't you tell?
And just maybe you care for me as well.
I'm trying the best that I can.
I'm not lying, I wanna be your man!

One more line again: I hope this song will make you realize
that to me you're perfect, you're worth it when I see those eyes.

But you really gotta hand it to me baby: I'm giving it my all.
I'm loosening the footholds in your heart until you fall
in love with all the mischief that I'm making. I'm trying to cause
a scene inside your little ticker, I hope you know what I mean.
