Witch of the Waves
Original tune - not related to any others of the same name - for piano and electronics. Around 124 bpm, 4/4, lots of melody, lots of drama. The last track completed for my Migration album.
All You Need is Love Unless You Have No Food
This comment in the recent Starbucks/Product Red/internet singalong thread inspired me to redo Lennon's tune just a wee bit... [more inside]
River Rise
A song that was sort of spontaneously written just over ten years ago. One of my sad songs about water. [more inside]
The Shape of Water
A friend's Tweet caught my ear. I tried to get it out of my head. It didn't work. [more inside]
Underwater
Water as escapism.
undulate underling
A short, lyrically strange new song partly based on a dream. [more inside]
Water
This song came at a very strange and weird time. Ill shorten her up abit story wise. I was in a accident good while back now fully recovered now. I was doing Christmas music for family and friends who helped in my complete recovery. Now a painted picture. I had a broken jaw rippied off the tip of my nose and knocked out 9 teeth. Bike accident ouch. Again fully recovered and happy to be here still. So where this song came from I dont know but the timing was in the middle of christmas recording. I ran with it anyway cause I hadnt really ever did wording like this and the song poured out. Anyway that set the strange stage for Water. I hear some Willie in there somewhere. LIsten
dotgod
This one's a dance number.
Multnomah Falls
So named because it is also split into two parts, first small then larger, and kinda makes me feel like I did standing on the bridge in between.
log
This is an old song, not written for the mefi music challenge water theme, but the lyrics kind of fit, so I decided to upload it. I actually wrote this waltz about having a cold, but it sounds very "oceanic."
Paying No Mind
The song started as a very simple guitar progression and evolved from there. I love the sound of crickets, frogs, locusts, rain, thunder, etc. Nature in general. So I found some sound clips, added some more guitar, an oboe here, a drum fill there, and there it is. Simple and relaxing.
Fog Horn Narrative
Boats on the north sea, fog horns, seagulls, surf, moby dick, 20,000 leagues and more fog horns.
Dance of the Ice Crab
There is a bowl filled with various amounts of wather (I tried to tune it in Gmin) and some synth (sub aqua)
Just found out about this contest today, did it in two hours! The lead is very rough and rushed (clumsy?), but it is interesting. This is the first time I've tried to create a song in years..
the River Girl
A song by my band, the Notes and Scratches, kind of about Vivian Eliot and featuring a bunch of water. I sing and play the acoustic and the harmonium.
ripples
Only tangentially related to the theme of the challenge, but my testing audience thought the song sounded like ripples, and that seemed like enough (plus it motivated me to finish sooner than I might have!).
oooh, lord!!!
sorry, this isn't new, but it's probably new to you! the backing vocals are "water, water, water, water...WIIIIIIINE!"
When You're Feeling Thirsty
Here's a song about water and how important it is.
Storm
Recorded in 2001 during a thunderous rainstorm while working in the desert at Lake Powell in Utah. All sounds apart from rain/thunder are guitar - 5 total. I think.
Used To Ride That Train
There must've been hundreds of times over the years that I've tapped out a rhythm on a pan full of water while doing the dishes, the pitch woozily shifting as the h2o sloshes about. At those times I've almost always thought, hey, I should put this on a track sometime. Of course, I never did, until the first MeFi Music Challenge, with its "water" theme. Along with the big metal bowl full of troubled waters, you'll hear jawharp, talking drum, bombo drum, bell, shaker and vocal. [Lyrics and more inside]
Atlantic
This song is about my wife, who was far away at the time. Recorded entirely on an old Tascam 8-track: no ones or zeroes allowed. I'll put a new one up, as well... but I had to upload this one because its so watery. CREDITS: Tyler Massey (that's me): composition, guitar & rubbishy, slightly-out-of-tune vocal; Joel Hatfield: production, bass, & backing vocal; Alex Kendall, drums; Kevin Allison: guitar & backing vocal. 1995.
Burning need. Write a song.
This isn't a particularly good song, so I recommend you don't listen if you like music. Which you do. Pay no attention to all my shitty lyrics peppering your music page, now, if you please.
sailing on right by
a soulful meditation on a future where both water and human kindness are in scant supply.
Rain in the Desert
This is a slightly older song, released in '06, but I thought it fit the challenge. I wrote it shortly after moving to L.A. when I was awakened by a thunderstorm, and fell back asleep to some strange dreams...

Water Rising
Going electric for the first MeFi music challenge. Enjoy.
(By the way, everything I know about beatboxing, I learned from Tom Waits.)
I Have to Drink the Water
A little rumbler about a man on a desert planet obsessed with drinking a vial of blue liquid (NOT DUNEIST), and the women that love him.
The Pool Across the Street
A song about love and breaking into pools at midnight.
floating on a river
A song about tubing, written (and sung) by a good friend of mine. It's not new, but this gave me an excuse to dig up an old record that rarely gets heard. Enjoy!
underwater caves
A song about underwater caves and the strange things that live in them. Me and my wife recording as Tangemeenie. Sorry, it's not new, but I wanted to play, too. And I use my guitar to do an impression of water in this song, so it just seemed to fit.
The most frozenest river around
A song inspired by crossing the frozen river Neva in Saint Petersburg, Russia. This song is short, simple, and basically three choruses and no verses. That's right - screw the verses!
Requiem
"From the depths can they hear us pleading / Grant us rest, Lord"
Drink Meta-Filtered Water
This is my contribution to the Music Challenge. I started off wanting to write a song about how water is the best beverage ever, which made me think of filtered water, which made me think of Meta-Filtered water, and so on...
Carl's Coffee
When I saw that the challenge was about "water", I thought about my friend Carl. Spoken word + very mellow bass.
The Bottom Falls Out of the Clouds
A song about the rain—I seem to write a lot of those—and for the inaugural round of the Mefi Music Challenge.
Don't Let Jessamyn Pick the Themes
Also known as "puddlewonderful." This is my contribution to the challenge and so, there's [more inside]
Aquamarine
Another Geese song. I wrote this for my wife, who was meeting her father for the first time at age 36. Hope you like it!
A Man in a Boat in the Water
A song about songwriting.
Cap Antibes, France, swimming 1999
Scaled the cliffs of an abandoned embassy, sitting on a broken concrete jetty, looking out to the Mediteranean. Kids playing around me in the water.
Gili Air, Indonesia Beach 2005
Standing on a pebbly beach, after dinner in the dark - small waves wash up the beach and around my bare feet.
Nikko Rice Paddy 3
Late at night in the dark, next to a rice paddy, in the forrest - frogs and water.
Nikko Rice Paddy 2
Late at night in the dark, next to a rice paddy, in the forrest - frogs and water.
Nikko Rice Paddy 1
