about

Fearless Songwriting Week means write a song a day no matter what. It doesn't have to be good, it just has to be a song. See what happens! I'm posting my songs and notes here so I remember what happened. :-)

about

I love music and I'm so grateful for all the gifts it has brought to my life. In May 2011, I took a huge leap of faith and moved from Iowa down to Austin for a year, to study at Rubicon Artist Development and make my first EP. Stay tuned...

Track Name: 1 - Sunday - Wings
I can’t sit still for more than a minute
I can’t focus on what’s right in front of me
There’s a moth on the floor, beating his wings ragged
What a way to go, am I doing the same thing?

Wings are so delicate, paper-thin
but they can carry, they can carry, they can carry you far
Wings are so delicate, feather-light
but they can carry, they can carry, they can carry you far

I look outside for some kind of answer
They say “time management” & “walk in bare feet”
It sounds like good advice but I still can’t hack it
If I knew how to do it I would have done it by now

Wings are so delicate, paper-thin
but they can carry, they can carry, they can carry you far
Wings are so delicate, feather-light
but they can carry, they can carry, they can carry you far

Wanna fly
I just cry
I don’t believe, I don’t believe, I don’t believe I can

Wings are so delicate, paper-thin
but they can carry, they can carry, they can carry you far
Wings are so delicate, feather-light
but they can carry, they can carry, they can carry you far
Track Name: 2 - Monday - Wouldn't Have
I wouldn’t have done it
if I’d known he was crazy
I wouldn’t have flown
before he woke up

Norwegian wood
costs a lot to install
After the fire
I’ve got nothing at all

My wool rug is gone
was a gift from my mom
the clock that kept time
was not even mine

First shift in the morning
Is quite hard enough
But some lug sleeping in my tub
makes showering rough

I thought it would be fun
to bring home someone
now I know why
I shouldn’t have done it
Track Name: 3 - Tuesday - I'm Still Losing Sleep
Papa, Papa, she’s beautiful
Papa, Papa, I know I did the right thing
Papa, Papa have you ever seen
something so perfect, so precious?

I’m still losing sleep but it’s worth it
it’s not my mind tossing and turning
She’s our little everything
And everything’s new

Papa, Papa I can’t believe it
Papa, Papa I could eat her up
Papa, Papa he’s so so in love
It’s all a miracle right now

I’m still losing sleep but it’s worth it
it’s not my mind tossing and turning
She’s our little everything
And everything’s new

I’m not saying that it’s always easy
I’m not saying I don’t have regrets
I can see this is only the beginning
There is so much more to life than just me, me, me.

I’m still losing sleep but it’s worth it
it’s not my mind tossing and turning
She’s our little everything
And everything’s new
Track Name: 4 - Wednesday - More Candles
If I light more candles maybe the muse will come
If only when I was younger I hadn’t sucked my thumb

If only I hadn’t wasted time today
If only people would listen when I play

If only it wasn’t always about me, me, me

Maybe it’s cuz my pants are too damn tight
maybe it’s cuz I never can get the chords to come out right

maybe I’m expecting too much
Maybe I’m not doing enough

Maybe this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever done

If only I knew I had what it takes
would that make me patient through all my mistakes?

If only someone would tell me I’m ok

The rules in my head scream no
My heart skipped town long ago

It always comes back to the same damn thing

If I light more candles, maybe the muse will come
Track Name: 5 - Thursday - Walk the River
Feather weight, rattle bones
barefoot, blanket, river stones

walk the river, sweep the sand
walk the river, sweep the sand
walk the river, sweep the sand

Aspen leaf, chicory tea
Drinking gourd, lonely tree

walk the river, sweep the sand
walk the river, sweep the sand
walk the river, sweep the sand

Burning sage, risking smoke
constellation, bullfrog croak

walk the river, sweep the sand
walk the river, sweep the sand
walk the river, sweep the sand

I will keep you safe
I will keep you safe
I will keep you safe while you sleep
