Mythological (Bongos Mix)

I wrote “Mythological” a long time ago. I’ve always intended to make it into a full song. It’s one of the many projects that are waiting in queue. I posted an a cappella version. It was the earliest song I posted. Sometime between then and now, I was working with some old recordings of my dad playing his guitar. In one song, he beat on his guitar as if it were bongos. I thought it would be fun…

Helpless (Original Mix)

During the writing and recording process for Helpless, I had two lines from other songs in my head, “I’m filled with so much anger and pain that if I drop, I’ll explode like a fuckin’ grenade” by Krayzie Bone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s “Body Rott,” and Stevie Wonder’s line “any kind of abuse, God knows is a crime” from Babyface’s “How Come, How Long.” I added both to the instrumental at the end.…

Disposable, Part Three: Disposable Children (Dedicated to Izabella Loving)

When I wrote Disposable, I knew I had too much material. During the recording process, I decided to split what I had into two parts. I had no plans for a third. Then, something happened that scarred my soul. One morning, I looked out of my living room window to see a lot of SUVs parked along the block. When I found out the police were down there, I thought somebody died, and they were doing…

Helpless (A Cappella)

“I have to get this out ’cause she’s all I think about.” I wrote and recorded this song about an abused little girl. The story deeply affected me. The song acts as catharsis for myself and others affected by this tragedy. Instagram, in its infinite meta-wisdom, muted the song. I assume it was because I used a beat that I found on YouTube produced by @raspobeats and listed for free use. I use…

Helpless

“I have to get this out ’cause she’s all I think about.” “Helpless” is a true story that had a profound effect on me. This is the only song I’ve recorded that makes me emotional, and I’ve put my soul into everything I write and record. I literally get shaky thinking about the situation and listening to the song. It’s that motherfuckin’ real. This song came together faster than anything I’ve…

Disposable, Part Two: Disposable Society (Alternate Ending) (Produced by JurrivhxSoulkiller)

“Somebody help me, please.” This only has one minor change. As with the Whisper Mix (https://youtu.be/SXNSdodj0Xk), I wasn’t sure if I liked it enough to make it part of the official song, but I liked it enough to make it a separate version. WordPress doesn’t limit how much shit I can upload. Take this, WordPress. Oh, and this. This, too. Fuck it. Take it all. I tried including this in the…

Disposable, Part Two: Disposable Society (Whisper Mix) (Produced by JurrivhxSoulkiller)

Shhhhhhh…………………. Why a whisper mix? I don’t fuckin’ know. It’s just something I thought of that I didn’t like enough to include in the official version but didn’t hate enough to exclude completely. May it live here in infamy for eternity. The beat, Free Sad Type Beat – “Alone” | Emotional Piano Instrumental 2023, was made by JurrivhxSoulkiller. The images were made by Fotor. Disposable, Part…

Gaslight (Lie 2 Me) (Produced by APC Beats)

“You have me feelin’ shitty / Like I lost my Shyne like Diddy” How’s that for a triple entendre? For those unfamiliar, Shyne was a rapper who was signed to DIddy’s Bad Boy Records and was supposed to be the next Notorious B.I.G. back in 1999-2000 before he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for a shooting while at a club with Diddy and Jennifer Lopez. Now, he’s a politician in Belize. Diddy was…

Feral: 5 Steps by Dru Hill Parody Promo

In this tiny slice of absurdity known as Feral: A Silly Lilly Tale, squirrels have found Lilly, her aunt, Reggie, and her imaginary friend, Walter having lunch on the beach, which I chose to present as a parody of Dru Hill’s “5 Steps.” Why a Dru Hill parody? I don’t remember why, but one of the squirrels was named Sisqó.

Fairy Tale: The Almighty Algorithm (featuring Xero)

This is the dumbest promo ever. I realized today that I made a bunch of promos for Fairy Tale but never posted any. In a bizarre choice for a promo, this is a failed take for a background vocal phrase. Xero, Charlie’s granddaughter, kept barking while I was trying to record. I included a pair of video snippets of her playing with her parents in case you’re not interested in the clip of my voice…

Disposable, Part Two: Disposable Society (Produced by JurrivhxSoulkiller)

“I’m your brother / but you treat me like an other.” The obvious question is why the fuck is that there? The reason is because I’m weird, which makes me do weird shit. Sometimes, my random thoughts make me laugh. I need those to balance out the dark shit that leads to songs like this. I’m equal parts dark and goofy, which makes for odd writing at times and inappropriate jokes at inappropriate…
