Nothing fancy.
Nothing great.

Random songs inspired by my random life.

...... So ......

You're only allowed 4 songs TOTAL unless you pay for more storage. As anyone else here knows, my audio creations are NOT worth bandwidth, let alone money, so I'm gonna just shuffle what I've got with what I'm going to get.

So here goes the explantions of why my songs sound the way they do and what (if any) are the meanings behind them.

[Much Grace] : This is actually a Christian song that I re-worked the chords, a la John Mayer or Jason Mraz. This was the FIRST time I gotta hear something in my head with a full band. Gotta say, it was quite nice to have it done with a full band. I was very pleased with it (and yes, that's me singing. It's not very good, but hey, I tried.)

[Hazy Twilight] : The time of day where you can see both the sun and the moon, partners in light, illuminating the earth together, as if they were cohorts of the universal kind. I had a hard time finding a name for this song because I too was between two different places, sun and moon, light and dark, safe and perilous. So this song was named after the gray area between the setting sun and rising moon, a hazy twilight. Even though they are two different entities, they offer one similar purpose. And in this life, don't we all need one similar purpose in our lives?

[Twinkle Twinkle] : Driving down Beach blvd, you hear lots of interesting sounds. Cars screeching, stray dogs howling and the ever-present murmur of people walking to and fro in their lives. And it just happened one night, I heard a couple of kids on the sidewalk, next to a bus stop, loudly and proudly singing this children's song. And it's funny because it's strange how contagious a song is when you know it. I started to sing along and before you know it, strange feelings of nostaglia streamed through me, flood of memories just started pouring of days of past. And so I wrote this song as a tribute to not children songs, but of childhood itself. We've all lived through it, so it's always nice to remember that we were once all children. Simplier times because they were happier times.

[Reign in Power] : Reading the book of Jeremiah, it's very evident that Judah then is a lot like the world now. We've created for ourselves so many handmade idols and we've forsaken God. We're all in need of repentance, from a farmer in India to the business man in Los Angeles. The break-up strain is an honest prayer that I've prayed myself after reading how God wants us to repent. The greatest part of Jeremiah? God's "everlasting covenant." Read about it and really be blessed!
