More progress on my EP. 

Two reasons why I’m still single, probably.

Congrats to RI for becoming the 10th state to legalize gay marriage.

I just heard this song two days ago but I love it an unhealthy amount. So I want to record a little cover. The vocals on this (sketch!) were recorded on a phone, so I’ll have to slip into the studio before it’s done. Also there’s another verse. 

i kinda want to do every thing myself including like filming a little video using projections I create (like the one above) and editing myself it to see what the process is like before I do it with one of my songs.

I sat down for a chat with the creator of Public Shaming, a Tumblr blog whose sole purpose is to find racist, sexist and homophobic tweets and post them publicly for Internet posterity. Click the link below for a full Q & A.

Put a little something together after I read this on facebook. Picture by Carly Mitchell. I thought this unknown runner lady could use some recognition.

Why do people do stuff like click “cute” on an article where people’s limbs have been blown off? Why is humanity so awful sometimes?

I feel so adult. Making valid arguments and such. Read about this couple here.

This is my song about vampires, dragons, witches, knights, incubi and more… the power of allusion. This song is very fainting couch romantic, which I thought was unusual for me, but it seems to happen every third song I write. The lyrics show how much I played Magic the Gathering as a kid, so that’s a plus. It also shows how much I listened to Sade. I’m really happy with (most) of my vocals. Not bad for one recording session. More as this story develops.

Lyrics (for now):

EVERY SINGLE DAY

V1: 
I would meet the sun for you 
live a million nights, to give it up for…
I’d let Saint George slay me too 
my last breath in fire, 
a tribute to the heat of…

V2:
And I’d let them burn me at the stake
For one day without you 
I don’t think the world could take 
But don’t worry, baby- I’ll be fine, 
I’ll come back, if you’d like 
just summon me as a ghost 
I don’t mind.

C.1:
Every single day I’d give my life for you
(every breath, every step, everything that I do)
And no spell will ever make that untrue
(every move, every beat, babe it’s all pledged to you)
Be there any beast, whether she: big or he: small
I will simply slay them, I will conquer them all-but
If a fellow monster has to take one of us away
I will sacrifice… every single day.

V.3:
Oh yes, I’ve heard of this…
capable of murder with just a kiss, but
You’re the only incubus with a conscience-
well, come closer anyway, baby-
cause honestly, you’re worth it.

C.2:
I would gladly take a silver bullet for you
and I’d give up the full moon for you, baby
disappear into the night, a howl in the grey
don’t hesitate a moment, for me, just get away 
You’re stronger than any other creature I know
But if something were to happen to you really I don’t know
If I could go on another way
cause I need you every single…

C.3:
We prove there’s more to life than stories we sing
love’s not only for princesses, not just for kings
every villager we scare off with our laughter
is a tale we tell of the freak show ever after
hopefully we thrive like this for thousands of years
Supernatural yet actually rather sincere
I could chant and cast with you every single day,
all I need is you.

Honestly.

Every Image in this video is awesome. David Bowie’s new video (with his lifetwin Tilda Swinton), “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)” under the cut.
