This is just my simple way of saying leaning into the sad is my way of getting through the sad.

A 17 year old girl who lived through the woods, one neighborhood over, recently passed away. I never knew her. I didn't know her family. I just heard things through the grapevine and read all the stories online about this beautiful soul. So, I took the information I had and tried to imagine the things her parents would like to remember, and I wrote this song.

My father died four months ago.
This is my tribute to him.
He was the kindest, gentlest, selfless man I will ever know.
He was the perfect dad for me.

Work tape. My lyrics set to a paid for melody and vocal generator to edit for studio demo coming soon. Lost my Dad before I could get back home one last time. Life got busy and I should have made it a priority. Big regret!

Written late 80’s or early 90’s…

Wanted to write a song that highlighted “who, what, when, where, why” the “How” was extra good. Recorded on final day maybe missed deadline

This song is a fanciful take on the old expression, "Don't let the door hit you on your way out" (or some version of such). That of course is usually uttered when you want someone to leave. I thought I'd use the expression, "Don't let my lips hit you on your way out" as a way of saying that you hope to make someone else want to stay.

This song was written after I was promised everything from a girl in a relationship. Once she found someone new, she left. This song was written in response to her leaving, where she has "said" many promises.
