[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

a rough version of ‘lady blue’ by as cities burn. hardware - washburn ‘lyon’ 6-string acoustic guitar w/ a custom microphonic pickup, an AKH D5 microphone, through a line 6 interface running on POD farm, and recorded/lightly mixed in steinburg cubase 5.1 only effects are equalizer and a tiny bit of autotune.

my take on “falling slowly”, from the movie “once”. video and audio both raw from a canon powershot s3.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

my take on ‘across the universe’, with some help from my black friend, kevin lewis-graham. done in adobe audition 3, a behringer xenyx 502 mixer, a standard peavey hypercardiod vox mic, and my washburn 6-string with a custom built-in microphonic pickup.

this world

take from this what you will, i think this is for some people slipping behind,
encouragement.
i tried writing everything i could about it after thinking,
and the picture at the end is all i could get down on paper.

i was doing some crooked thinking today.
i have a lot going on, so obviously i have to take time to think a lot,
but today was a bit different.
i was thinking about this world,

it was really nice.
everything was more vibrant, had more taste, had more feel.
there weren’t any perception problems, you could sense and understand everything.
tastes were just enhanced, touch was more sensitive, seeing was a hundred times better.
and the content and things you are tasting, feeling, and seeing were so much better.
there weren’t any bad sights, no gross tastes, no harmful touch.
you could understand something, without using any senses too.

aside from the heightened senses,
the world itself was better.
there were tons of people, without bad emotions being a known feeling.
i’m pretty sure there was happy, and ecstatic, and nothing else.
nobody was wishing ill harm, nobody was causing problems.
everybody was at complete peace, and better yet, everyone was getting along with everyone.
not only cliques with cliques, but families with self, with other families, from towns to countries,
it was peace.

there weren’t any natural disasters,
there wasn’t any mistakes being made.
everybody knew and was happy with what they were doing,
and everybody was good at it.
nobody was confused, bored, fed up, inferior, or unhappy.

one of the greatest things here was that there was love.
not only among everybody platonically, but everybody had somebody.
there’s wasn’t a problem finding who it was,
and there were no problems making it.
there was perfect and true love.
couples got along with etiquette, respect, and care.

it was just amazing.
anything you wanted, was already waiting.
anything you wanted to be, you were already good at.
there was no hate, no war, no poverty.
no disabilities, no requirements, no discouragement.
no thieves, no superiority, no need for police, government, and yet there was justice.
no fights, no rude disagreements, and

no unfriendly debating.

it was complete perfection.
and then i realized,
