MEMORIES & CHEMICALS
|
TWO
AGAINST THE WORLD
|
| A
song about how I don't believe that dreams are much more than
memories & chemicals reacting together to produce random
thoughts. The irony is that these random thoughts often affect our
"real" lives.
- Memories &
Chemicals
|
A
song about the moments in life that you're making memories,
but like all good ones, you don't realize it until much later.
It's just a moment in time...
The Three Wheel Motion version is a rough mix
from our recent sessions.
- Two
Against (Solo Version)

SAME GIRL
|
MIRACLE
|
|
Another sad love song...
-
Same Girl (demo)
|
This is
one of my few songs that's obviously about religion. Kind of a
simplistic view, but I find that the easiest way to explore many
deeper ideas.
I like the way the subject of the verses are darker in contrast
to the lighter chorus.
One of my favorite recordings from my home studio. The high
notes in the bridge are from an old Recorder that I dug out for a
different sound.
- Miracle

REASON TO BELIEVE
|
MOVE
ON
|
| This
is a song that almost never saw the light of day - I introduced it
at a 'Three Wheel Motion' practice one night when we needed
something new to work up and the guys saved it from getting
trashed. Now it's one of my favorites.
This version is a piano rework of the rockin'
original (that will also be available soon). I wanted to explore
the song with different instruments and dynamics.
- Reason To Believe
(Piano Version) |
One of
those songs that wrote itself. The first verse came while walking
across the room at work. I typed it into my computer and wrote the
rest when I went home for lunch. It came together just as quickly
when the band first played it. The subject matter is pretty self
explanatory.
This was recently recorded for the Three Wheel Motion CD and
the 3WM version is an exclusive rough mix from the basic tracks.
The final mix will be available soon.

TONIGHT
|
BREAK A MAN
|
| This
song was one of the first songs I wrote when I knew that I wanted
to play coffee shops by myself. The open chords and simple melody
seemed to translate well by itself.
The song is about revisiting a relationship
after a while away. Has she changed? Have you? Does it matter?
- Tonight (Solo Acoustic
Version) |
Sometimes
by overthinking things, we defeat our ability to be objective.
Relationships are things we should feel our way through, not
think.
- Break A Man (Solo Version)

SEASONAL
|
HALF WAY
|
| This
is another one that wrote itself. I'd been playing with some of
the phrases for a while, but they came together on a 20 min. drive
during work listening to Ryan Adams. When I got home, I nailed it
out and put in a riff that I'd written long before in a different
key.
The original lyrics had something really awful
in them about someone being like a Christmas present. Ugh.
- Seasonal (Solo version) |
My
"cowboy" song about leaving town to start a new life
with someone. I approached this one with more humor than most of
my songs. I like that.
- Half Way (Solo Version)

BOY LOSES GIRL
|
THE MORNING AFTER
|
| A
while back, many of my friends' girlfriends moved away, around the
same time. I haven't felt that in a while myself, so I was
inspired to write this with them in mind. A sad love song about
things ending.
One of my few in 6/8 time. I like the tremolo
guitar sound from my Fender Princeton amp on this one.
- Boy Loses
Girl |
This is
a song pieced together from many others that never made it. I
found the riff on an old tape recorder, the verse I wrote when I
was 17 or so and the chorus was new.
I always had the idea to do a painting with this title, but it
ended up a song. It's about how different things look in the
morning than the night before, but that illusion brings us back
again and again.
- Morning After (Solo
Version)

IF I CAN
|
THE PRIZE
|
| This
is one written by my true friend Darren Fielder. He gave me a demo
copy of this and I couldn't stop listening to it. This is my
interpretation of it with a bridge that I wrote thrown in to break
up the dynamics. We'll be recording his version soon and I'll post
it here.
- If I Can (Solo
Demo Version)
|
This
song is about the frustrations that we go through (and put
ourselves through) to get to some imaginary "prize" that
we're either promised or imagine.
- The Prize (Solo Version)
