I have an albums worth of original music

[keithy_19]

My brother and I started recording stuff together about a year ago. 2007 was an awful year for the both of us and music seemed like a good outlet. I had been writing lyrics/poetry for awhile before that and I adapted a lot of it to fit the music. My brother does all of the music besides the drums which are through a drum machine. I sing and occasionally add in harmonica.

I listened to the album today for the first time since we compiled it all together. It's not really the first album. The first album was a really raw collection of 14 songs. Some of them we still use on the new collection.

I guess I'm just really happy to have help put out music, even if it isn't that good of quality and my singing isn't the best. It's nice to know that I did something that I love and always wanted to do.

We may be selling it for a real cheap price. If/when that happens I'll let you know if you're interested.

That's cool man. I've helped to put together an album once, and it was a very satisfying experience.

It's all rough recordings. We did it all in my family room on an eight-track. It's not terrible quality or anything. Just rough.

Some lyrics if anyone wanted to see the fun stuff I pen.

"mid sentence regret"

It takes no reminding dear, I know just what I do
I tend to fuck up all the simplest equations
Like two plus two equals four for sure but add in a decimal
And I lose my God damn place and it all gets messed up

I know I have no one to blame but that doesn’t seem practical
I should pounce on the opportunity to let my insecurities breathe
And breed a batch of accusing slurs that get wasted on the innocent
Oh God I think I need another drink right now

It’s sad I know how to think, but my acute vocabulary fails me
When all I can do is stutter through an excuse and apology
Where the point I made in my mind was gold and the wisdom I had was flawless
Just to have it all shit the bed when it comes out

I tried to make my day to day less introspective
I tried to make my mind rationalize in the easiest way
Like if I wanna gain some weight all I have to do is smoke some pot
And if I gain to much well I guess I’ll just throw it all up

And if I sacrifice the meaning of the composure for a rhyme
What’s the point in the art if the art falls short of the meaning
And if I sacrifice anything of value I don’t know how I’ll sleep
So I’ll crack open a wooden box and tell you all what I really mean
