I've been going back into my catalogue through the lens of just guitar and singing, to focus on the songs themselves.
This song is about our new puppy Daisy, how lame lawns are and how I've heard that switching to clover can help with our local ecosystems.
Lyrics
Daisies are all I want to give to you
It's hazy where I start and where our story beings
When I reached out my hand and you thought, it was coming back with a rock, to smash your heart like a stupid piece of shit
Daisies are all I see when we are walking
But lately clover has been spreading in my fertile mind
Could you be mine?
Thank you for listening 🙏☯️

This song was written at the worst moment of my life (so far) when I was like a sad skeleton roaming the earth. It shows you where my head was at and the themes showing up in my thinking.
Lyrics
If I could talk to the later me
I′d ask him if we sang in key
It's alright I′m just afraid
Have you met your partner yet?
Are you having fun?
Do you have much debt?
It's alright I'm just afraid
And do you talk a little less?
Do you clean your teeth?
Do you still get stressed?
It′s alright I′m just afraid
Did you end up with little ones?
Do they have our nose?
Do they read real young?
It's alright I′m just afraid
Because everyone wants something
Something for nothing
Something for everything
Don't you? don′t you?
Do people like the songs you write?
Do you come to them real late at night?
And do you help when they're afraid?
You take the time to appreciate
The things you have and the food you ate?
Is it alright that I′m afraid?
Because everyone wants something
Something for nothing
Something for everything
Don't you? don't you?

This song was written as Bruce Springsteen-esque song to celebrate finding a place in the world where I could flex Ikigai thinking and try to come to terms with the artist / audience dynamic.
Lyrics
I almost went to college and got a job
I didn′t think this world had a place for me
I almost stopped walking and became a slob
I'm still not so sure there′s a place for me
I don't know if my hands can do the work
I never was much good at learning things
Never thought I could become a clerk
Now they see me running their companies
Who am I to judge the people
Who make this city run
When my pay comes from the steeple and the fields in which they run
Fields in which they run
I almost went to college and lost it all
Never thought they wouldn't let me in
Couldn′t get my hands out for the fall
I wasn′t much for losing, couldn't let them win
So I took all my money and then a little more
Figured I could learn if I had no choice
Got a camera from the camera store
Got a bit of money worked on my voice
Who am I to judge the people
Who make this city run
When my pay comes from the steeple and the fields in which they run
Fields which they run

Lyrics
I left my heart in
Separate parts so I
I wouldn't get back
There's time to say
For trucks and sleds
Girls in the parks
But when you went away
I was the first to say
I want you, I need you to come home
It was then I knew
That with me and you
There was, no time to waste
So put away your feelings and
Always know that
You're made of stars
I know we fight about wrong or right
And how the youth is raised
But there's line, that's being kind
That's spoken by my kin
If you ever find
You've got boys in line
You tell them, what you would want to hear
Cause there's plenty men, but 1 in 10
Would treat like I do
See country shows near Calgary
Get tickets as low as $59

So put away your feelings and
Always know that

The world will call us crazy
The world will call us mad
The world will call us crazy
The world will call us mad
Ohhh I need you more
Ohhh I need you more

Lyrics
You're always looking hungry when you come around
Yeah, ya always do. Yeah, ya always do
It makes me feel crazy when I hear your sound
Yeah, it always do. Yeah, ya always do
When I feel let down, I need your company
When I'm hollowed out, I need you to comfort me, baby
Because when I fall apart (and you know I will)
Just know I'm sorry and I'll pay the bill
But I hope you noticed, I really love ya
I really love ya
And you always have a key if you need to stay
And you always will, and you always will
It breaks my heart that you really don't play
And it always will, and it always will
When I feel let down, I need your company
When I'm hollowed out, I need you to comfort me, baby
When I fall apart (cause you know I will)
Just know I'm sorry and I'll pay the bill

But I hope you noticed
That I love ya
And I'm probably thinking of ya
And if I get home and you're tired
You're not feeling so inspired
We can talk about the day
When we met up and just stayed that way
But I hope you noticed, I really love ya (I really love ya)

This song is about the fear of missing my life, and not able to appreciate the moment fully. Things like travel demand presence and help to get below thought.
Lyrics
I wanna tell you that I'm sorry
The rain is tappin' on my window
and I'm dumb enough to care
I take my time when I get coffee now
And if you feel like comin' over
I'll make enough that we can share
When all is done
I hope I got to see ya
I hope that I had fun
I wasn't too caught up in me
If nothing else
I hope I got to travel
Because life is too short to be alone
In misery
They say the days are getting longer now
There must be something that I'm missing
Because the months just melt away
When I take a second to be happy now
I wonder what it is I'm missing
So that I can just stay this way
When all is done
I hope I got to see ya
I hope that I had fun
I wasn't too caught up in me
If nothing else
I hope I got to travel
Because life is too short to be alone
In just one place, to never fall
and never get chased in misery

Alcohol allegedly has no medicinal value but god damn if it doesn't get me there.
Lyrics
Well water well water
Won’t you nourish me?
I just I’ve got nowhere to left run to
Well water well water
Won’t you follow me?
I may get thirsty up the road
It’s getting hotter and hotter
Come dance with me, girl
The Music ain’t that hard to move to
Well water well water
I see myself in you
And I don’t like what I’m seeing
It’s not far
To get there
Well water well water
I just can’t count on you
You’re splashing around is making me thirsty
Ink blotter mail slotter
I regret everything
Please take back what I said to you
It’s not far
To get there
And it shows you the ties you knot
And there’s snow in the parking lot
And it knows how much you fought
Just to get here
Well water well water
This is the end of us
