This is a song I wrote a few years ago that I've reconstructed musically like five times. It's written about a friend who always put so much effort into helping everyone else with their problems that she never made time for herself.

Take away the night
Warm us with your light
As the day grows dim
Keep us shining bright
The face you put on for the world
Is not convincing me
That you want life this way
Apollo
Save some sun for yourself
Apollo
You bring enough to everyone else
Apollo
Let your reins fall down
It's your time
It's your time now
Chariots of flame
Carry you away
To more aching hearts
Bringing them the day
I can hear a thousand voices
Calling out your name
But can you hear your own?

Another song I wrote, this one about, you guessed it, apathy.
Lyrics:
The mind is a terrible thing to lose
What's your excuse?
What's your excuse?
When you're a beggar they won't let you choose
So what's the use?
What's the use?
Go on go easy on yourself
Drop the ball, stick your head underground
The upside of apathy is this:
No strings attached; you'll never pull me down
The heart is a terrible thing to waste
Give me a taste
Yeah just one taste
The truth is sometimes just too hard to face
Let's take its place
Take its place
Go on go easy on yourself
Drop the ball, stick your head underground
The upside of apathy is this:
No strings attached; you'll never pull me down
(Bring me down) Don't bring me down
(Bring me down) Don't bring me down
(Bring me down) If you love me let me drown
Don't bring me down
Go on go easy on yourself
Drop the ball, stick your head underground
The upside of apathy is this:
No strings attached; you'll never pull me down

Another original song I wrote about losing touch with old friends.
Lyrics:
How does
Another original song I wrote about losing touch with old friends.
Lyrics:
How does it go
When an old friend
Becomes a handshake by the door?
Who is it for?
Like a photograph
In a shoebox
Holds recognition but nothing more
Who's keeping score?
Hold on to me before I'm gone
Hold on to me before I'm gone
Synthetic smiles
And formalities
Empty phrases like "Let's keep in touch"
I've said too much
They won't bring us back
To five years ago
And it's my fault that I miss you this much
I'm out of touch
Hold on to me before I'm gone
Hold on to me before I'm gone
Sometimes people fade away
And we're forced to carry on
So please hold on to me before I'm gone
I'm sorry for the way I've been
And sorry for the way I am
I can make no guarantees
But with your help I can try to
Make things right again

A little diddy I wrote a while ago to combat the entire Emo genre. Word up.
Just imagine my terrible whistling in the bridge is a sweet guitar solo.
Lyrics:
The only thing worse than losing
Is anticipation of the loss
The hands of the clock keep ticking down
Each minute adding to the cost
Sad songs are easier to write
Let's shock the system
They'll never know what hit them
Turn on when they turn off the light
They'll tell us to follow
To open up and swallow
Fight fire with a smile
Why do we bother trying?
It seems our destiny to fail
We keep on singin' this tired song
The words we speak have become stale

This is a supporter video for the Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee that a friend of mine (Jared Shelton) and I made for his website. Hopefully the powers that be will put it up on his blog or something.
It is to the tune of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something but the lyrics are by yours truly. And here they are:
---
You said you've got nothing in common
With the candidates to choose from
And you're losing heart
You'll say the Big Three don't do it for you
Their negative ads bore you
And you just might stay home
So I said, "What about voting for Huckabee?"
She said, "I think I remember that man,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked him."
And I said, "Well, he's the best hope we've got."
You see he's the only one who's for them
Faith, Family and Freedom
In the right order
So what now? It seems he's the best for us
He's even got Chuck Norris
Telling us how it's gonna be
(When the eyes of the ranger fall upon you
You better like Mike)
So I said, "What about voting for Huckabee?"
She said, "I think I remember that man,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked him."
And I said, "Well, he's the best hope we've got."

Because of the overwhelming demand for another song both here, on Mike Huckabee's campaign
Because of the overwhelming demand for another song both here, on Mike Huckabee's campaign blog, and on http://www.hucksarmy.com's forums Jared and I decided to oblige.
This is a parody of "Help!" by The Beatles. It's a great song (and movie) and if you haven't heard/seen it you need to pause this video and do so immediately.

Lyrics:
Huck! I need somebody
Huck! Not just anybody
Huck! We really need someone
Huckabee!
(When... when I was young...)
When I was younger, so much younger than today
(I thought that I...)
I thought that I could go and throw my vote away
(Now... those days are gone...)
But now those days are gone, I know what they are worth
(There's only one...)
Now there's only one man I can vote for on this earth
Huckabee will take terrorists down
And fight to keep the right to life around
Illegal immigrants stay on your ground
Won't you please vote Huckabee
(Hey... we need a change...)
The USA will change in oh so many ways
(Let's break the bank...)
With Huck the IRS will vanish in a haze
(Give... their bill of rights...)
he'll give the veterans the rights that they deserve
(And sing and paint...)
And thinks that school without the arts is borderline absurd
Huckabee will take terrorists down
And fight to keep the right to life around
Illegal immigrants stay on your ground
Won't you please vote Huckabee

Here's another installment of our support parodies coming to you in full Huckavision. This time around Jared and I are bringing back the harmony heavy imitating the group that early on we were said to have sounded like: Simon and Garfunkle. The song, as you might imagine, we based this tune off of was their mega-hit "Mrs. Robinson". So if you get mad at us for mentioning Jesus and God you can take that up with them, that's their lines. :-P Interestingly enough we didn't have to change many of the lines since they fit so well but without much further ado, here are the words.
Lyrics:
Here's to you, Mr. Huckabee
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Oh oh oh
God bless you please, Mr. Huckabee
The White House holds a place for those who pray
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you help the nation now
Look around you all you see are scrutinizing eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
Here's to you, Mr. Huckabee
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Oh oh oh
God bless you please, Mr. Huckabee
The White House holds a place for those who pray
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Forget about the hiding places, everyone will know
But that's the life of public service
There's no such thing as just the Huckabees' affair
Worst of all you've got to feed it to the press
Coo coo cachoo, Mr. Huckabee
Jesus would choose you if he could vote
Oh oh oh
God bless you please, Mr. Huckabee
The White House holds a place for those who pray
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidate's debate
Sing about it, shout about it 'cause we've got to choose
If it's not Huck we're gonna lose
Where have you gone, Lady Liberty?
A nation turns its needy eyes to you
Woo woo woo
What's that you say, Mr. Huckabee?
You have got a plan for us today
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey

Here's another video! Sorry for the long delay, but last weekend we were busy ON THE ROAD
Here's another video! Sorry for the long delay, but last weekend we were busy ON THE ROAD WITH HUCKABEE!!! Woo! What an experience! We wrote this song for the trip and performed it live for the first time ever in a rally at Clemson University (where Chuck Norris himself was present). That video can be seen on my favorites as provided by the gracious Alex Harris of hucksarmy.com.
This song, as you might have noticed, is to the tune of The Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Woman". Consequently Huck loves the Stones so he really liked it. :)
Lyrics:
I met a campaign blogger on his website
He told me that he liked my videos
He asked me if I'd like to meet the governor
I told him "YES!" and went to pack my clothes
'Cause I'm a Huuuuuuuckabee voter!
Gimme, gimme, gimme some Huckabee votes!
I found my hotel in South Carolina
Where the governor's team was gonna stay
He asked me to perform at his rallies
That blew my mind, so let me hear you say
I'm a Huuuuuuckabee voter!!
Gimme, gimme, gimme some Huckabee votes!

We've been awfully busy with other things but we wanted to get at least one video up before Super Tuesday to try and get Mike's word out the best way we know how: by being goofballs on the internets.
This song is to the tune of "Time of the Season" by The Zombies and was rather fun to do so I hope you enjoy it.
Lyrics:
It's the time
Of the season
When the tension's high
But this time
Spell it out completely
Tell me where the issues stand
I think I've found somebody
That I like
I'm telling everyone
That it's time to see reason:
Vote Huckabee
What's your name? (What's your name?)
Who's your party? (Who's your party? Do they..)
Do they represent?
What the people (What the people)
Really want (Really want to see)
In the one they choose to lead
Election day is coming
So decide
But if you still don't know
Then it's time to see reason:
Vote Huckabee
