Clif came up with a keen guitar riff while we were hanging out in Oklahoma. He asked me to try to put some words to it, and this is what I've come up with so far ( Read more... )

This song is still techinically incomplete. Clif came up with this amazing bassline for it, but we never got any guitar chords put to it. Too bad, really, 'cause I think it's one of the more interesting pieces we've put together. ~chuckHow come we never do the right thing ( Read more... )

This is one of the few slower love songs Clif and I have written. We don't do many songs of this kind, so don't think there'll be many of these posted. It is a bit of a geeky song, though: how many other love songs do you know that refer to holes in space and time? ~chuckAnd all I do is smile ( Read more... )

Clyde and I put the most complete version of this song together back in May or June or so of last year, right before I left Oklahoma. We knew we wouldn't have much of a chance to hammer out unfinished songs after I left for Virginia and he left for graduate school in Texas, so there was a week or so where we tried to get as many songs finished as ( Read more... )

Something I started writing this evening. It's not quite complete--only two and a half verses, still no chorus, dunno if there'll be a bridge or not--but I rather like it so far. Started with the idea of the death of a metaphor, went from there. Title is a reference to a Van Morrison song I heard once (which in turn might've been a reference to ( Read more... )

Finished the song from the other day. Enjoy. ~chuckI turned away from a choice ( Read more... )

Just started this song tonight, so I've only got one verse (and a wordless chorus. Made me feel so very much like Van Morrison doing that). It goes with a chord progression that I've been playing around with for a couple of weeks now that I really dig. I'll post more when I've got more to it. ~chuckI turned away from a choice ( Read more... )

I got bored in my education class last week and started jotting down random lines. What resulted was this song. I'm fairly pleased with it, though I think there are probably some things that could be improved or revised. It's a little morbid, but all in good fun. It recycles a couple of lines from other efforts, though the recycling is altered ( Read more... )

This is one of the Yeti songs I wrote right before Clyde and I went to Yellowstone. I remember getting the song worked out in the study of my parents' house in Shawnee. It's one of those songs that I think could actually end up on the radio, oddly enough, if we ever got a recording contract and issued singles. It may not be all that ( Read more... )
