Here’s the latest Song du Jour…. #14. It’s called Blackout. I done filled up my hard drive so I’m having issues with video so this is just audio for now…. Click and listen!

Blackout

The power went out
She got the candles now
And she can’t see my face
Which she can’t seem to face anyway

She says, “Hurry up now.
Honey, close the fridge.
You’ll let the cold air out.”
I said, “You let the cold air in.”

And there’s nothing to do but play charades
But the funny thing is we play that anyway
And the night draws out like an accordion
And it’s hard to tell just who had won
And I know, it’s a dark and cloudy day.

I can’t compete
So I won’t compete
I’ll forfeit this game
Grab my bases, go home back the way I came

And there’s nothing to say but what we can’t spit out
And the funny thing is we’re better off now
And the sun comes up like she always does
It’s a brand new day, full of fresh fuck-ups.
On a dark and cloudy day

The power went out
She got the candles now
The power went out
She got the candles now

Here’s the latest Song du Jour. I think it’s #13. And it’s called “Birthday Boy”.

And I don’t know her name now
And I don’t care to look
And I don’t know the way back
Baby, I wouldn’t care if I could

But I’ve found I’m missing New York
But maybe I’m just missing you
But maybe I’ve just missed the point here
Baby, are you missing me too?

I know I wake up every day too early
I know I go to sleep each night too late
Because if I close my eyes I’ll wonder
Baby, I don’t know what you’d say

I thought about last night all my birthdays
I thought about each and every year
And the thing I most will remember
Baby, I wish you were here

I’m in this night of one-acts next week called “Remotely Naked”.  I’m in the one called “Dog Park” written by Brian Groh with Penny Balfour and Laura Siegel.  It’s hilarious people and it takes place in a dog park!  Can you believe it?  No, I mean the scene does.  The theatre does not.  That would be nice though.  I’m also playing two songs in the show too.  Anyway, here are the details:

Wednesday, July 21st
Two Showtimes to choose from – 7:30 and 9:30 pm
Pan Andreas Theater 5125 Melrose Ave LA 90038 (Between Wilton and Western)

Here’s the latest Song du Jour. It’s called “Air Train”. It’s just in audio version because I am too lazy to take a video of it right now. But I have another one for next week that will be special and definitely in video form!

Air Train

Air Train
Wake up
Don’t make it sound bad
Let the plane take off
Don’t say it so sad

Where you, where you gonna be?
It doesn’t matter if it’s in a different country
Just save up, save all of your things
Save up, save everything for me
And if the rains comes
Don’t say it’s all bad
And if you wait up
We’ll make it last

It’s the same love
Don’t make it sound bad
It’s the same sky
Don’t say it so sad

Don’t speak, if we don’t speak
We won’t have a fight
It doesn’t matter, matter
If it’s right
Let’s say now
Let’s say it’s all good
Let’s just say now
Let’s say it’s all good
Tonight
