a christmas cover

here is a cover of a song i like from sufjan stevens christmas album.

a song every once and a while keeps the november blues away...

This song took me a couple days. I'm not sure if the words are quite right yet...

Things that go through my head??

Here is a little song I wrote in the Superstore parking lot- some pretty deep thoughts were going through my head at the time...

That is me accompanying myself on Garage Band- just a midnight stroke of brilliance, haha.

Long-Distance Love Part 2

So we meant to record the finished song on Friday night while Addison was in town but things got a little too crazy- I guess the skype version is a little more legit anyways...

So here it is with a few more verses. You have to really strain to hear Addison at times but its totally worth it : )

So Newvember's been off to a slow start this time around but I'm hoping to launch into the rest of the month with much enthusiasm and creativity- no more skipping days!

Maybe tomorrow I will write a song about my thermal socks (because I love them soooooo much).

Sunday's "Song"

I didn't write a song on Sunday. But I did paint this picture.

Long-Distance Love Part 1

Here is a little tune Addison and I are writing together to commemorate our 11 monthiversary from a distance. What's so long distance about it if you're singing the song together you might ask. Well you might think Addison is in the room with me singing the song but he is in fact on SKYPE singing across cyberspace and time! You can't see him but I can (he's on my computer screen)- so high tech! We're basically living in the future.

Look forward to Part 2 tomorrow, in which Addison comes to Vancouver and we sing the completed song (all the little hummy bits will have words) together. Together together (:

Lullaby

Imaginary Friend

On Monday night I went out for coffee with Addison for what was supposed to be a nice time together before he caught the ferry back to Victoria. It was a nice time, but unfortunately I spent most of it complaining about how tired and busy I was and blah blah blah.

This song is about that and also about how glad I am that Addison is a real person that I can talk to.

The ringing phone sound at the end of the song is coming from my computer not yours.

The beginning of the end?

Here is song number one for this month, written by Beth and Len.

Part 2 A Song a Day

Can it be done a second time?? I'm not sure but I'm going to try.

Set You Apart

A new song for December...

Goodbye Newvember!

Goodbye Newvember! Thankyou to everyone who helped me!

Three men in orange vests

As an animated sailor, I am partial to nautical metaphors.

Wait and see

This is what happens when instead of writing a song I fall asleep with my light on still half thinking about it. This song emerged around 5 in the morning, hence the very tired face. Mmmm, now I'm going back to sleep... only 3 more songs to go!

Haikus for my Childhood in Langley

Look at my foot! Look at my hat! Look at all the haikus I wrote!

Ruth

Here is a song about Ruth. To get in character I wore my shawl.

Uncharted Territory

Here is a little song about the future. While listening, please imagine that you are on a boat.

My Love

Here is another song of the romantic-comedy-pajamas variety, dedicated to future/ hypothetical/ fictional husbands everywhere. Lyrics by Emily Cowan except for the two lines in the middle section. Thanks Emily!

Golden Berries! Yum!!

With special guests Tobey and Mattae (:

The Girl Who Remembered Everything

This is a song about a girl who remembered everything. As you will see in the video, I am obviously not that girl.

(Apparently this girl does exist in the world somewhere; however, this song is based on a fictional character)
