Some Songs

They say, when we sing we say something.
They say that we say something new.
We said some of these these things,
Then they said we could sing,
So we sang about a hundred-and-two.

Update, 10/2006: Gosh this is an old page. I can tell that I wrote the intro before my senior year in college, because it said, "senior year," without being any more specific. So I just fixed that. Other than that, I don't think I've touched this page substantially in the last ten years. Anyway, the me that I am now is not the me that would write the sorts of things you'll see here, but I'll keep them around, because I'd want the me that I'll be ten years from now to keep around the things I'm doing now. I've since stopped writing songs; my muses have taken me elsewhere, and it's impractical to be a singer-songwriter when you don't play an instrument.

I began writing the first song here in the spring of my senior year in high school, as I was grinding through the writing of In Memory of Friendship. Since then I have written few stories, but quite a bit in the way of songs, most of which I don't include here because they are still fragments. Songs are easy to remember and therefore can be written anywhere, not just in front of the computer screen. They also have the advantage that the amount that must be written in order to get something presentable is small compared to stories. Most of these songs have only lyrics and commentary, but one has a excerpt of a recording I made, if you have the bandwidth and the patience.

But if nobody listens, well, nothing comes true.
