You're Getting Away From Me

Oh, you’re getting away from me
The strings are stretching so thin for me
You’re 405 furlongs from town
You’re 504 fathoms down

You might still in my dreams when I sleep
But my memory is getting hazy
Oh, you’re getting away from me
Oh, you’re getting away from me

Oh, you’re set deep in my history
Like my old black and white TV
Playing some River Raid
On my beat-up Atari
Oh, you’re getting away from me

Even if I saw your photo
I’d double take
Brain synapse earthquake
Kind of like knowing an elbow
I forgot your face
Oh, you’re getting away from me

Oh, you’re getting away from me
The strings are stretching so thin for me
You’re 405 furlongs from town
You’re 504 fathoms down
Oh, you’re getting away from me


This is my sparsest song to date. There is a lot of air in it when I play it. I went with simplicity; a good step. A few chords with some words... It is hard to not add unnecessary bits, though! Not sure about the river raid lyric, but I really like it...it feels like something I would write.

I welcome me back

It has been a long time since my last song update. This mainly because I have moved to San Francisco, and acquainting myself to the city has taken precedence. Also, I thought about retiring this blog because I didn't know if posting these songs (none of which I am totally happy with) was a good idea. But, in the end, I decided that if I didn't post them, nobody would even know they exist (besides myself, and perhaps a family member or two). Well, tonight I am going to post a few songs I have written since moving to San Francisco.

However, I am no longer going to explain my lyrics. Well, I might a little. But if I have an explanation, it will be more about the process than the meaning. I think that is more interesting to write about anyway.

Plus, I want you to interpret my words in your own way. If I have any visitors anyway. If you a visitor reading this, Thanks!!
