Drop a letter down Stairs of alabaster

Wrap some newspaper Around your heart strings

To keep the sound in

Is anybody listening?

Give yourself space In boxes set on curb side streets

Shy away from the neighbors and Oh god the strangers, can it wait

You wait

Count down days in chronicles You wince at doors

As they close There they go

These rooms are empty

But these walls won’t stop talking

Can’t escape the memories

Up there with the funniest thing is

Can’t tell that you left from here

It’s raging cold But it’s alright

Is anybody home?

Down stairs hear the radio play

In a dark room locked inside away

From the truth of how you died

Is anybody listening?

“You can’t save her”

Is anybody home?

my vocal/ukulele cover of joe's adorable little song "nothing big". it's been stuck in my head for days and I had just been fooling around playing it, so I figured why not give RECording it a shot! :) hope everyone is enjoying the holidays!

Had a scary episode when I broke up with a guy who had anger problems and abandonment issues.  One night when he woke me up at 4am just so he could yell at me yet again, I told him I wanted to break up and his answer involved throwing the vases I saved from when he bought me flowers, burning pictures of special memories together, and threats about harming himself.  I ended up locking myself in the bathroom because I wasn't sure what he would do, thankfully I was able to leave without injury.  I imagine this song would be sung by the countless victims of domestic violence or abusive relationships as a plee to others who are in a similar situation.

Lyrics:

Complacency made you stay But wrapped in his arms is no longer safe Keep him at a distance please I don’t want you making my mistakes

Harsh words turn to heavy hands Your broken spirit is his plan He can only conquer the weak But weakness in you is something I can’t see

So you’ve gotta go Gotta get away from him Yes you have to go Don’t worry about what to say to him

So leave today Make your great escape Take nothing but what you need And that’s nothing but your peace

Get out now  Get out now Get out now Get out now

Even the foolish fight being cage Since when is love found in rage You don’t have to do it for me  Just do it for you and your baby

So you’ve gotta go Gotta get away from him Yes you’ve got to go Don’t worry about what to say to him

So leave today Make your great escape Take nothing but what you need And that’s nothing but your peace

Get out now Get out now Get out now Get out now Get out now Get out now Get out now Get out now

Gotta get away from him Yes you’ve got to go Don’t worry about what to say to him

So leave today make your great escape Take nothing but what you need and that is nothing but your peace

I played about with mirtle's wonderful (as ever) drawing. This remix came about almost entirely thanks to Belcath1981's wonderful photoshop tutorials, inspiration and many of her textures. Extra textures from doverpeak, JaneTH and lostandtaken.com (royalty free).

a bit of silliness for a sunday morning. thanks to letsclimbtrees for the idea! :-)

My buddies are (from here on out) to expect that if I hang out with them, they will be prominently featured in a short film.

:D :D :D

Beautiful music by Wirrow. I wish I could have used the whole song... Maybe this is only part one of the video.

Not sure about the logos? It's a documentary so.... I dunno. Someone with more legal knowhow lemme know.

wirrow first Released this song back in the springtime.  The first thing I did after the first time I heard it was email dan, saying "I found your new favorite song."  He and I share a love for the pleasantly repetitive.

Other musicians added to it, PixelPilgrim and ChenelyWelly added to wirrow's vocals from the female persuasion.  Nels Cline played hot guitar.  Jeff Peff added percussion and edited the whole thing together into its current form.

The hypno-face template is one of the cooler aesthetic feats our mass collaborative process has achieved so far: wirrow drawing the first face, then hundreds of hitRECorders coloring it into diversity.

And the work of a whole lot of video artists went into this montage I've cut.  Too many to name in this description, but I'll cite the resources below.  (I've listed some so far, but I'll have to dig around to find the rest)  The footage of dan spinning comes from Vanya, who is well intent on uploading the resource, I know because he's standing right next to me.

Yet another.
