Is having punctuation in the title going to break computers?
Have we fixed that since 1999?
This is the only thing on my mind as I upload my first song.

lyrics

Greetings!
This is the first time that
I've written
this song

I know it may seem like there's a plan
but I don't have one

There's quite the responsibility
on me
to be quick
with wit
and hooks to bring you in

This is the other part of the song
It won't last quite as long
But it's more catchy, you'll find
and, believe me, in good time
the urge
to splurge
on music of mine

(Oh, I get it; he's hypnotizing us through song to support his art!)

You're still here!
That's amazing!
I guess I can be entertaining
if I just listen to myself
and I forget what I've built up in fear

Back to the other part of the song (Again?)
You get my thanks for coming along (You're welcome!)
This ride/write/rite I've made
you're now my slave (What?)
and we are almost done
But first
a pensive
third verse

Maybe one day I won't have to sing about this
And by this, I mean this song

I'll flow with ease
I'll see my dreams
with eyes open

Off the top of my head
I'm glad I'm not dead
I've got a family
that mostly believes in me

It could be worse
I could be stuck inside a hearse (You just used that joke!)
alive (Oh, ew.)

One last promise to you, my dear
The rest of the songs on the album will be more clear

(You shouldn't make promises that you can't keep.)
I'm sorry.
(You're so Canadian!)

Settle Down
by Julia Nunes

I haven't gotten enough of Julia Nunes and I've been listening to her for a decade. Just the right amount of emotions in every hook. The first time I picked up a ukulele was to cover one of her songs. Tall Mark

Am I Doing This Right?
by Chad Neidt

I'd love to collaborate with this guy one day. Similar humour-filled lyrical goodness and a great production quality on his first Kickstarted album. Tall Mark
