Following The Sound (Improv 12/7/2020) 04:02
lyrics
You know not everyone of us was born with a million dollar silver spoon in our mouth? You know that some of us have had to find out what this world is really all about? And you know, it ain't easy sometimes, oh but you get around And just when you think you're out of your mind, you realize you're just following the sound Just following the sound, just following the sound And it goes around, yeah You know not everyone of us is the winner of the birth lottery, babe Some of us have had to figure out what that even means But I see all around and I say you just gotta follow that Just gotta follow that sound, yeah Just follow the sound of the underground I say Just following the sound You know we get around That's how we get around Just following the sound Just following that sound Just following that sound Just following the sound Just following the sound That's how we get around How we get around How we get around

lyrics
I thought I'd think up a little line You know the way we do it all the time Thought I would sing whatever mind to my mind For you Oh you know the way we like to imagine? Every little thing that we can fathom? Tip of the tongue comes All around you Whatever surrounds you Do you feel it? Do you feel all the words Fluttering through the air Coming through the channel Turn on your mind You know, you're lucky if it rhymes Just the way, just the way we imagined Dreaming, dreaming all the time With you And people want to feel the magic And when they have it, they know they have it And everybody wants to feel the magic All the time All the time That's how I feel knowing that you're mine All the time Footsteps in the mind Oh yeah That's just the way that it goes, you know That's just the way that it goes, you know We're just watching that river flow We're just following the road Just finding ourselves downstream Living in a dream Living in a dream Living in this dream Oh yeah Like a Pisces Just like a Pisces It's the season of the Pisces, yeah And everybody wants to feel the magic Step inside, you'll know when you have it And everybody wants to feel the magic It's true And I'll be there for you It's true Oh yeah And when we come around Following the sound Knowing the right place And when it flows out all like a dream So effortlessly It's just the world that It just the world that we're living The world that we're living The world that we're living And everybody wants to feel the magic And everybody wants to feel the magic And everybody wants to feel the magic Step inside, you know when you have it And everybody wants to feel the magic It's true I'll give it to you I'll give it to you I'll give it all to you Yeah!

That Time I Met Elon Musk When I Was Homeless (Recorded 10/10/2022) 03:52
lyrics
buy track
The most ironic moment of my life Has got to be When I was standing on the street In Highland Park, Los Angeles And Elon fucking Musk walks out I yelled his name just to make sure Must have been 2017 Then he turned over, shook my hand, And I couldn't believe it Because at the time I was homeless And he was a billionaire One of the richest people in the world And if you were to average our collective wealth You'd have a prolific artist who lives in his car And a billionaire car-maker And of course every existential thought Swirled through my mind in this moment As it would for anyone with a sense of awareness Some people blurt out their elevator pitches at the opportunity Or ask for shit jokingly or serious Or maybe like half jokingly, but if you're into it, you know But even though I was homeless I still had my dignity And I wasn't interested in being a beggar Instead all I could say back Was “have a good night” And I shit you not He then walked to the end of the block With his two buddies Got in his fancy Tesla And drove back to Mars And another thing When you have that much money It's like, who can you trust? I just don't see how the system Is really working out for anyone And hey, do you remember That time you tried to overthrow a foreign government?

Have Mercy (Improv 7/28/2022) 04:36
lyrics
Oh things are not quite the way they used to be now They're nowhere near where they used to be Perhaps there was a time when society had compassion But you know that time was long ago in history And we must beg for mercy Have mercy, have mercy Have mercy on me and my people Oh Jesus Christ or whoever have mercy on me Have mercy, have mercy Have mercy on me and my people Oh Lord if you're up there, have mercy on me Dreaming of some kind of time Long ago, maybe I Was thinking of some kind of future that we could have If only, if only, you know what's going on Do I even have to describe? Everybody already knows what it is Have mercy, have mercy Have mercy on me and my people Oh dear President or whoever have mercy on me Oh have mercy, have mercy Have mercy on me and my people If there's a government that can do anything, have mercy on me That's right You can insert some kind of solo in this part of the song If you feel like as you're playing along Or perhaps you prefer my voice, Well I guess that's your choice As I sing these sweet songs in some kind of refrain or something Oh have mercy, have mercy Have mercy on me and my people Oh dear God can't you see we're crying have mercy on me Yeah, have mercy, have mercy Have mercy on me and my people Oh Lord if you're out there, please have mercy on me Yeah, oh have mercy, have mercy Have mercy on me and my people If there's one thing that I can sing have mercy on me Yeah, have mercy, have mercy Have mercy on me and my people Oh dear God, please, you know, have mercy on me Thank you Thank you Thank you

Just Trying To Get By (Improv 8/28/2021) 04:11
lyrics
This is one of those freedom songs Everybody likes a good freedom song It's a freedom song Just trying to get by Just trying to get by Just trying, just trying to get by Just trying to get by Yeah Say, don't you know? Don't you know it's a crime? That we, that we Have to struggle to survive? Oh, but I'm I, I, I'm Just trying to get by Just trying to get by Yeah Oh, I'm just trying to get by I'm just trying to get by You know some people live They live their whole entire lives And they never They never even They never even see the light Meanwhile I'm I'm just trying to get by, yeah I'm just trying to get by Just trying to get by Oh but it's just another Another day in the life Just another day in the life Just trying to get by, yeah Just trying to get by Just trying to get by Just trying to get by Oh why must we struggle to survive?

Let The Time Stand Still (Rooftop Improv 9/28/2022) 03:33
lyrics
May the time stand still if it be God's will If it be God's will, may the time stand still If the time stands still, it must be God's will May the time stand still if it be God's will I've been searching all my life just to find Some kind of place for me to rest my mind Far away from all the scenes of the crimes That society placed at the feet of our eyes May the time stand still if it be God's will If it be God's will, may the time stand still If it be God's will, may the time still And it must be God's will if the time stands still, yeah Searching all my life one day to the next It's quite a thing to perplex You know that I have found myself in so many situations That I can't even remember them all Oh but surely there must be some kind of fascination with these things In the minds of people who have curiosities And I have wandered and wondered endlessly Just to find that I have become Bee Appleseed And if it be God's will, let the time stand still Let the time stand still if it be God's will And if it be God's will, let the time stand still Let the time stand still if it be God's will, yeah

Nora (Improv 7/12/2019) 02:02
lyrics
Oh I'm just hanging around waiting for my baby to come home Oh I'm just hanging around waiting for my baby to come home Oh Nora, I adore ya, it's true I wrote this little number just because I was thinking of you And even though you are not here In my heart, you're always near For wherever you are, my love is with you Oh I'm just hanging around waiting for my baby to come home Oh I'm just hanging around waiting for my baby to come home But when it's me that's away Oh it's so hard to stay For I long only to be there with you For I wish always to be there for you

about

This is a compilation of songs I literally made up on the spot. Sometimes I would add a backing vocal or guitar, but made a rule of only 1 overdub track per song, lyrics had to be all on the spot, do it quick, and just keep it simple. Many of these were recorded on my phone as a means to capture the sound quickly. Big thank you to Nora Keyes and Bradley Bailey who got me into creating improvised music.
