Hiya friends!

bandcamp has waived their revenue share for paid downloads from now til midnight PDT, so it would be a very good time to support folks with releases on bandcamp who have no idea what the future holds for them financially. Hi, that’s me.

BUT! That’s also probably you: recognizing that this is affecting nearly EVERYONE‘S monetary situation, please don’t feel obligated to buy something if you are also a person who is strapped for cash and worried about future monetary situations. Pay what you want! Pay nothing! Just listen to me warble some mostly sad songs I wrote eight years ago! Don’t do any of this, it’s fine, everything will be fine!

Link to my questionable Hoursongs above.

Sending you all so much love during this bonkos time. Stay safe and stay sane! ❤️

I just remembered that this was happening eight years ago tonight. And C just started to watch the bootleg of Jeff performing Daniel Johnston’s “True Love Will Find You in the End” at Jordan Hall at Harvard, which I also bore witness to, eight days prior to this particular evening, and my goodness, I have had some beautiful nights.

I froze when this happened in front of me, and I am so grateful my friends filmed it, because all I remember was the sound in the room, the quality of light, the warmth in my chest, the Feeling in the front of my brain, and how lucky.

I am regularly a ghost on the internet, but I am glad to still have a here to be. A non-nostalgia-filled post sometime soon, mayhaps.

Put me in an empty room and I will always try to fill it. A #latergram singing @lowtheband. An orb flies through towards the end; grandma always did love it when I sang. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtH2uNanh00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ewbuj4jxz4vs

Fleshing and flushing out fledglings again (always). Built myself a bower’s worth of beginnings and middles and endings and a few full songs in need of TLC (this one, for instance, written after a burial last year, is in need of a lyrical overhaul), and things are slowly thawing for me again (always). 🦃

Reposting this spoopy and creppy cover in honor of Halloween! Happy hauntings! 🎃 👻 💀 😈 

Those two scenes in the first season of Stranger Things where a terrified Will sings a few bars of “Should I Stay or Should I Go” echoed and resounded in me and made me want me to do a simple, melancholy cover of aforementioned song the first time he sang it. So, this weekend, in celebration of Stranger Things season 2, I finally buckled down and recorded it. As with everything I ever record, I think it sounds best through headphones.

Singing @fleetfoxes (and the Star Wars theme) in an empty house, waiting for the work laundry to finish.

☀️🌱 There is no growing in knowing where you’re going, without the light inside.

What do you do when the magic’s gone? What do you do when the magic’s gone away?

There is an ideal and I’m gonna reach for it. There is an ideal and I’m gonna try.

Open up your heart.✨ 💫 ❤️

☀️ Forever grateful to that ole sun.❤️

Accidentally left this thing going all night (I refuse to put music on my phone because I am stubborn and old). Picked it up this morning to find this song playing. There have been too many incidents like this lately for this to be happenstance. I don't know what the message is that is trying to be delivered, but I am certain there is one.
