projections
friends,
episode 664 finds me wondering about three mysterious songs.
this is - projection
this is - mirroring
this is - abandonment
which reminds me of - this
i hope you'll join me.
the songs:
- motherless children have a hard time (night beach, 2011)
- this is how you love me (almost-finished, 2019)
- sober (lost demo, 201?)
love,
russell

roughly
friends,
episode 663 brings us to the end of a mini-series focused on the evolution of two songs. neither is completely finished, but they're close. i plan to give them a rest for bit, and (if they make it to my 2019 homemade project) i'll bring them back in final form.
i hope you'll listen.
tonight's songs:
- beginning with the end (almost-finished, 2019)
- that's not the moon (almost-finished, 2019)
- category 5 (demo, 2019)
love,

windows
friends,
welcome to july and episode 662.
this week finds me working to add e-guitar to some ongoing songs,
reflecting on a maelstrom of emotion,
and a new song...
everything revolves around absence
perhaps all these lonely
beliefs are feelings believed
you were sort of holy to me
and what could it mean that that could be?
i never knew who you were.
i been around, i been around,
i been around.
there's just a little hole in my heart,
see i wanted to be involved
it hurts to see the world from outside
and damn if that's not it every time.
i never knew who you were.
i been around, i been around,
i been around.
take it from me, i want you to know
talk me through it so i won't
and maybe we did a have a moment.
i never knew who you were.
i been around, i been around,
i been around.
this is - skeleton tree
this is - the boatman's call
this is - one more time with feeling
apparently, emotional storms are really a thing.
i hope you'll listen
the songs:
- beginning with the end (with guitar, 2019)
- that's not the moon (with guitar, 2019)
- everything revolves around absence (demo, 2019)
love,
