WALK - Single

Song available for download here:

Here's a new tune I wrote. Actually wrote it on a walk to the coffee shop one day, just speaking words into my phone as they came into my head... pretending like I was having a conversation with someone.

This song was sort of an experiment, I wanted to write it away from an instrument... starting with words. I usually sit around with a pen and paper, but I found that the left/right rhythm of feet against concrete gets my brain going. When I get to the coffee shop, I sit down with a cup of joe, jot stuff down. Then I walk home, humming revisions or new ideas.

I made this video yesterday, walking the same route as I did when I wrote the song in November. I tried walking my cat on a leash, but he wasn't having it. There's some footage of my friend's home/studio in San Juan Bautista, where I recorded it.

Please share. If you dig, purchase the single...
so I can get more cups of coffee and write more... : P

Take a walk in the fall
and in the streets you just might find
secret songs in concrete vaults

To help and get her off your mind

Take a walk, left and right
and it does something to your head
dusty thoughts and memories

and stupid things you should have left unsaid

Take a walk, it's a feat
I mean, come on, what are the odds?
You met a girl, not any girl...

you met someone who moved your heart

Now she's gone
well technically, I was the one who had to leave
reluctantly
abducted me
and now I'm staring at the Autumn leaves.

Red heads and Blondes catcalling from the streets.

Take a walk, take a breath
and take her off this pedestal
you gave your heart too much control
and now it's hijacking your soul
and now it's telling the bus where to go
as if it knows, as if it knows

broke down and crying on the side of the road.

Take a walk, reminisce
and revel in this miracle
right and left and silhouettes
of someone that you lost and miss

Take a walk in the night
in the streets you just might find
secret songs in concrete vaults
to help you get her off your mind
