Back in either middle school or high school, in music class, I wrote my very first melody with a classmate named Mathias Knutzen. The assignment was to take a text from one of our books and create a song with it. We chose Robert Frost's poem and came up with this pseudo-jazzy tune. I always liked it, so I kept the "digital chord sheet" around and played it from time to time. More than 15 years later, here now is a brand new recorded version -- complete with brushed drums and falsetto background vocals. [more inside]

A short poem spoken with keyboard, percussion, and guitar
Darkness falls in the middle of the day,
We look to the sky and lord we pray,
Darkness grows near,
And all those who are dear,
Floods the lands with tears,
Not a moment to soon,
For all men are destin for doom,
Come cross over, All are welcome

A rough structural demo of one of the songs I've written this month.
Catchy, upbeat reflection on the simpler, softer times of my highschool
musical upbringing. Imagine this with a dozen people clapping and
singing along. And maybe an awesome guitar solo. I've still got three
weeks, after all.
