Songs 2022-2024

I wrote this for Mary Durst's Songwriting Class, at PCC, in 2023, and it was my first serious attempt at completing a song. The lyrics to the song are about comforting someone on a love that ditched their wedding day, and how that person thought they were doing the right thing by getting them together.

This song was also written for Mary Durst's Songwriting Class, but I didn't submit it because at the time, I had thought it wasn't very good. After a couple months I re-listened to it, with the perspective of the trouble my Grandfather's dementia. It's probably now one of my favorite songs I've ever written.

This was written for my Grammy. It was a song I had written lyrics for and hadn't had any music to, so when my Dad wanted to make a couple videos for a family reunion in honor of her, he asked me to finish the song. My brother and I worked on it, and this was the result.

This song was written while I was still at PCC, and was trying to finish a song quickly. Still was very experienced with writing, and wanted to pump something out.

I wanted to write a song using the same chord progression throughout the entire thing, because as a new song writer, it is very easy to want to stray from a simple progression for the sake of being different.
