Music >> Original Music

These songs are all original music. Original, as in, I wrote them! I'm not expecting to get a record deal or anything, for the most part they are riffs rather than songs. Still, I think some are kinda decent.

Also, the picture to your right is from Christmas, 1999. That's like over a century ago!

Always Fornever

A cool little riff with a title that could have totally been a Smashing Pumpkins title.. Believe it or not, the entire song was recorded on an acoustic guitar (distortion/effects were done on my computer afterwards).. this could make a cool intro to a song, but it desperately needs drums and another progression... Also, if you're wondering, the title also alludes to a song that I basically ripped off (but not on purpose!).

Why Me?

This isn't just a riff but an entire song... The title comes from some lyrics I came up with at the beach, based (with some artistic license) on the time when I was "just friends" with Stephanie (who's now my wife, btw), but I felt they were really corny and trite so I never wrote them down. Also, they are kind of personal so I never wanted to share them.

Now that two and a half years have passed since writing them, I guess I'll share the only part I ever really liked. The pre-chorus/chorus part was something like:
Pre-chorus:
    (A)why do these (G)feeling still (A)linger be- (G)hind, (A)why won't they (G)just go a-
Chorus:
    (D)way? why me? why (G)always me? why (A)can't I see it's not (G)meant to be? but,
    (D)but you, you're (G)always there, you're (A)in my thoughts and (G)everywhere

Dungeon

This is a riff I came up with one day during senior year of college.. I call it "Dungeon" because it reminds me of the dungeon music in A Link To The Past.

Feedback

Okay so this isn't a song or even a riff, it's just me experimenting with recording my electric guitar, and I thought it was pretty cool. Studies show that only five percent of the population will be able to tolerate this garbage, however.
