Mama

(Posted to Songs by Ben Nov 8, 10:47 PM)

This is one of those songs that popped out fully formed -- lyrics, guitar all at once. I love when that happens. It's only about two months old. This one is so slow; I think the vocals have to be done perfectly in order for it to work (I don't think I achieved that here) -- there has to be some emotion in there to hold your attention.

Listen:

Mama …
Mama …
Mama …
Come on home …

Papa’s lonely …
Papa’s lonely …
Lonely Lonely Lonely

Mama …
Mama …
Mama …
Come on home …

I’m a man like an anthem
powerful and proud
big and loud
bold and unbowed
and still I’m crying

Mama …
Mama …
Mama …
Come on home …

Papa’s lonely …
Papa’s lonely …
Lonely Lonely Lonely

Mama …
Mama …
Mama …
Come on home …

Demos (2010)

These songs are the on the short-list for my next album. These have all been recorded at home using Garageband on an iMac with no plugins. I use a Shure microphone my parents bought for me and an M-Audio interface.

Sylvanus (2004)

This is my first album, recorded at Solidman Studios in New York City and released in 2004. Sylvanus is a very ancient deity who represents the wild nature in all of us, the animal and the lover, the musician, the dancer, and, when pressed, a protector of the Earth.
