Lyrics:
There's a song in the forest
there's a song in the trees
there's a song in the middle of the sky
there's a song with your friends
there's a song that never ends
there a song in this room with you and I
There's a light...
There's a warmth...
Today's tune is a little folk-hymn that I wrote. Sure it probably sounds like something you've already heard and it's subject is pretty vague but sometimes that's just the kind of hymn you need to sing while looking out of your kitchen window with a cup of coffee after a morning prayer.

What kind of music would you call this? Vocal harmonies, guitar, banjo, and electric piano. I can't quite pin down the influence but there's absolutely nothing new about it's sound. Fleet Foxes are doing well with this sound (and with much more talent, for sure) but I digress.

lyrics:
Your fingers get stiff when it gets this cold
The mittens don't care if you want to
follow him down to the creek
paddle your way with the wind
Take a long a walk with your feet
Get lost in your own little backyard
Your fingers get stiff when it gets this cold
The mittens don't care if you want to
follow him down to the creek
paddle your way with the wind
Take a long a walk with your feet
Get lost in your own little backyard
your face is always welcome in your town
Today I squeezed in a moment to whip this song out that was inspired by a similar tune by Houses called "Soak It Up". Check it out here http://myspoonful.com/houses
Please share this with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere else good music is shared. Downloads are fifty-nine cents so it doesn't even hurt to keep a copy for yourself to listen to offline.
Enjoy!
The hour-songs, or as I'm going to start calling them "Songs-in-an-hour", has been great even with the few that have been released. Until I decide otherwise, I'm going to start a release schedule of Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. That gives me time to figure out when I can squeeze in a song-in-an-hour with my work and family schedule. The songs will still be written and recorded in an hour but they won't be available until it's time on the M/W/F pattern.
So what do you think about that? Give us all something to look forward to?

These are not songs that last one hour; they are songs that were conceived, written, and recorded in the span of one hour. An exercise in spurring creativity, putting myself out there, and pushing myself.
So far I don't have many rules save for these few:
-Song must be written and recorded within an hour
-Finishing under an hour is fine; finishing just over an hour it permitted for now
-Try to record one song per day (I don't think I'll be able to hold myself to this with my work schedule)
So join me as I try to make music. Each song with be for sale for (minimum) $0.50 and I plan on putting out volumes/best-of's for sale when I have enough built up. Help support independent artists and consider making a purchase.
Help me out by sharing them on facebook and tweeting them to your friends if you like a song or know someone who would, I'd appreciate it.
Here are my first three entries:
