Merrier Me 03:51
the night is still and lonesome tho i've got company and nothings right since you're away from me the fires warm and every star just seems to gleam my way but nothings right since you have gone away the sweet sounds of the season they only make me blue and nothings right since im not next to you good will and joy are dancing around the town, its true but nothings right, we should be dancing too and its gonna be a different kind of holly jolly im gonna try to hide my sorrow with some cheer and i want love to fill me up with something more than heartache and im gonna sing until my peace of mind appears and maybe ill be a merrier me this time next year

theres a summer in my mind i go there all the time when my hair was short and years were longer i'd been thinkin on your eyes been thinkin how the time flies when we're having fun we sure did back when we were picking daisies walkin by the creek, i always said the big words too soon your hand warm against my shoulder told me in a whisper i could go ahead and love you just when i was sure of darkness you wrote me a letter seven lovely pages of words each one, poetry in motion kept me writing love songs sang em to the clouds and the birds there in the glow of all that kept youth sacred we were enchanted and we did not know and life was simple coz it all moved so slow and for a time you were mine long ago in every tender passing instant take the time to keep it seal it in your heart for always look back when you've got some distance savor all the joy there let it hold your heart in place

Comin' Round 03:11
its far too cold to wanna go outside even just to get some air but I'm keepin' toasty pouring another glass of wine it's been a long year oh, there were times we didn't believe and life it don't slow down we had to fake it til we could make it and now a new years comin' round im raisin up a toast to pardon to the choice we have just to let it all go and here's to abundant forward motion may we keep from feeling old and slow oh, there were times when we didn't believe and life it don't slow down we had to fake it til we could make it and now a new years comin' round i think there's always gonna be hard times so what better reason to pay attention to whats nice? yes, and when you get the chance get on your feet and dance, yeah just twirl around your troubles once or twice oh, there will be times you can't believe and life it won't slow down you'll have to fake it til you can make it and a new year comes around

maybe in the spring i could go away send some letters home fables on a page here is where ive been here is how ive grown here is where im broken more than you'll ever know i know what its like to lose you i know what its like to feel you go i know there will come a spring but this winters comin' on hard and cold maybe in the spring i'll come back to see you bring some wild flowers sing something that pleased you now that you are gone now that you are home why, when i am stronger do i still feel alone? i know what it was to hold you i know what it meant to keep you close i know you will bring me sunshine but there's still gonna be days of rain and snow (after the cold blows away theres gonna be longer days) (when will i know, when will i know?)

about

*Recorded LIVE (ukulele and main vocal) with additional layers added later*

This is the first volume in a series of 4 EPs to be released over the next 2 years. Each ep will be a musical interpretation of a season, and my own emotional resonance therein.

"winter" is loss and acceptance, vast uncertainty and glimpses of humble optimism. what has been and what could be. what we have let go and what we are, just now, calling into being!
