A Song for Dolphins
Another track by Selected Letters (my sadly defunct band). Music by J. Sher and I. Ochs, lyrics by R. Witte. Enjoy!
When We Sleep
A cover of one of my favorite songs about tornadoes, originally by Butterglory.
We'll Drive This Car
We'll Drive This Car ('Til Hell Is Shooting Out the Stars) - Selected Letters
We just played our last show ever this Friday night (a house party at Kenyon College in Ohio - we're all former or current students there) and I wanted to post one of our best songs to commemorate a great year. I miss them already.
Selected Letters is:
Ira Ochs on the bass guitar
Joe Donohue on the guitar
Alex Murphy on the drums
Evan Axelbaum on the saxophone
Riley Witte on the oboe
Jeremy Sher (that's me!) on the violin
Light a Candle
Dan and Leland are an acoustic duo blending great guitar playing and vocals with melodic songwriting and thoughtful lyrics.
Cars That Go Boom
A rough folk-cover of L'Trimm's "Cars That Go Boom", with me on guitar, mandolin and vocals.
CHRIS GARVER - Wasp in the House
A selection from the recently released album "e4/e5" ...songs about elected servants and employed servants. Songs about shock and awe, the beatniks, & holy Moses. Songs about Paul Bunyan, Tammy Faye, & Zelda Fitzgerald. Posthumous songs, sacreligious songs, contradictory slanderings... Jewelry store robberies, the language virus, & the reawakening of the languished American dream?
Drunken Brawl
by Felonious Bosch -- “Never got drunk, as you can see, I'm (hic) perfectly sober...”
Pick up the Phone
punchy, tuneful and melodic - written by a quiet phone in London. Brrrr Brrrr
Glass Eye
Off the album released in January, here's a blues written almost two years ago featuring Colin Keller on the Drums.
Useless
I made a record, then I had a kid. I don't get to play much anymore, and I sure would like to get rid of some of my hundreds of CDs I have left! :) Mellow, mopey, been described as Chris Isaak meets Coldplay...
Feeling Down
I'm not angry . . . I'm just feeling down
magic bullet
I've got something
Recorded 7 or so years ago with a friend. It's missing something in the middle, but I like the way it disintegrates towards the end. I've no idea what genre it is, but I guess it shows influence from all the country/folk/lofi music I listen to.
(End of the World) Big Fall
Indie acoustic fock. Written and recorded some time in 2002.
Sorry the vocal's a bit quiet.
Red Sky
A fading red sun and black trees. Written in a fleapit of a kitchen under the glare of a striplight in West Ealing. Be patient and wait for the drums to kick in.... ...the song got us all our gigs in 2005
Rubik's Cube
Solving The Puzzle of Love.
Faded Afternoon
Ah, those long hot sticky days of Summertime, waking up hung over and stumbling bleary-eyed through breakfast at one PM before dragging your alcohol-bruised body outside and collapsing in a deck chair beside the overflowing ashtrays and empty pizza boxes while the neighbors’ air conditioner hums and cats prowl through the backyard grass... and your buddy hands you a can of sorta-cold beer still dripping with melted cooler ice from the night before and someone else lights a cigarette and everyone stares straight ahead at nothing, totally dazed, eyes squinting in the afternoon sun... yeah.
Sobering Up
Upbeat acoustic indie folk rock blues! Most of my songs are about drinking.
