Happy Father's Day

Here's a early version of a song I wrote for my Dad for Father's Day.

Here are the lyrics

Sittin’ next to my Dad on a descending airplane
We’re staring down the city outside the window that eventually fades
Into a cloud and it’s all white now
I see the home that he gave me and the stories therein found
Like once upon a time…

Basketball one game I saw you playing for the team
And though it’s a little blurry, it left an impression on me
Oh I wanted to be just like you, just how I had seen
So you taught me everything about how to play clean
And how to hide when you don’t

Rollerblades, oh what a surprise when we went out for a drive
You didn’t say where to we would go, didn’t let it on your face show
You tried to keep the magic alive till teenage sarcasm arrived
Then apart we did grow and those rollerblades did go
Into the garage sale pile

It was Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Star
It was George Harrison, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel
They put us both back together after being long apart
I learned to play guitar for the songs you played in the car

Somebody that... Used to Write Great Songs

You Were Only Waiting for This Moment to Arise

I Wake Up to the Sound of Music

My blog (like me) has poor sleeping habits. It's been tossing about the bed in the morning hours for far too long, and I've decided it's finally time for it to accept a new day, but it's gunna need some extra juice to make it out of the door.

Scotch Mist is Radiohead's latest thing, and boy is it neat. It's a YouTube exclusive so you know what that means...
