Packing the Car 04:23
lyrics

Cold morning air Cold morning mist Calm morning stillness greets me Slow to awake Slow to get going Slow to shake morning lethargy Sip my coffee and Wait for the fog to clear get up early with the dawn load the car up hit the road Warm up the car Turn on the tunes Signal, turn out of the driveway Sip my coffee Head for the highway get up early with the dawn load the car up hit the road Did you lock the back door Did I turn off the stove Did we check the lights and windows Are we turning around Did you pack the flashlight Did I check on the spare Do we have maps and space blankets Are we ready get up early with the dawn load the car up hit the road Clouds up ahead Clouds turning grim Storm clouds open and release Pull over and Wait for those clouds to pass get up early with the dawn load the car up hit the road bags all ready luggage stowed get up early hit the road

Untitled Song About Driving 04:05
lyrics

green leaves fallen trees burnt bark charcol stump new growth poking through the brush along the highway tires spin engine hum tires crunch wipers swish more cars rushing by vibrations on the highway Billboards save your soul folk-art stop to look U-pick attractions odd For sale along the highway Rock face blasted clean white shrine Memories Young love Cry for help Spray painted on the highway sharp turn up ahead slow down watch for moose Don't pass last chance for fuel Along this barren highway

Red Twist 01:44
lyrics
buy track
It's been a long day, been a long drive flicker of a neon sign, stop for the night try and catch the diner before they close flop down on the bed, clothes on the chair flip through the drawers, notebooks and bibles, and things overlooked beam from the street lamp, casts a red glow Warm from the shower I drift off

about

I had written 'Untitled Song About Driving' which was quite a departure for me in that it has exactly one verse structure and repeates it ad nauseum, never deviating. As my brain loves to make the leap from song to concept album in 0.08 seconds, I soon found myself writing about what comes before and after the long drive. Packing the Car, then crashing at a Motel. All three of these songs were written live in front of an audience on my Twitch show at various points between 2020 and 2022. I recorded them in February 2023, also live on Twitch.
