about

Recorded as part of an assignment for Laser's Creator School, I attempted to encapsualte everything I'm into, about, etc via multiple journal entries, starting with the longest possible entry and then cutting it in half each time. Then I was instructed to try and turn this information into a song.

This is that song.

lyrics

husband, father, teacher, gamer
guitar playin’ music maker
Not too bad at playin’ shaker
always try and tip my waiter

Fallout, Minecraft, Stardew Valley
Fortnite, Skyrim, in my galley
PS4 and Switch and Steam
All of these my favorite things

Making music for my friends
Songs I sing that never end
I can’t seem to stop the flow
that’s why I made my studio

Silly songs that make no sense
Rockin’ tunes that are so dense
Heartfelt ballads, hidden gems
I just can’t stop writing them

CHORUS
Bm - E
Some people think that I am crazy
A-A7
my brain’s all over the place
and when it looks like I am lazy
Or that my heads in outerspace
Bm
even if i’m a bit cracked
E
because I stumble or fell

A
I got no regrets
Bm
I lived to tell the tale
E - - - - -A/A7
I hope you are doin’ well
D
that’s me in a nutshell

VERSE 2
Grew up in a Christian church
Christian college, Christian merch
In a bubble, in the lurch
Now I think that bubbles burst

i think i’ll still talk to God
take some time out with my squad
reevaluate my thoughts
not toss it all, but still take a walk

Black lives matter, so do you
Jesus Christ and Buddha too
to the bottom of my soul
I just want to be made whole

Conversations from the heart
crying when I see great art
empathy from every vein
but not immune to feeling shame

Harry Potter, Star Wars too
Lego animation crew
Ninjas, pirates, basketball
I’m not sure I got it all
