creator 01:45
I believe in something bigger than myself. I want to sing it from the rooftops but I'll settle for the top shelf or anywhere someone listens. Will you listen? Will you listen or am I by myself? Because I made something out of nothing but my breath and my fingertips and the space to reflect on everything that's ever happened. What would happen? What might happen If I lose myself?

revelations 02:55
If I could get out of this tornado that's tormenting us again, I'd make sure we landed somewhere safe as sand and understand how everything always fits; it doesn't seem to fit. I'll understand the wind and try to be whole again. I'll rewind my expectations and have my own revelations about everything.
3.
robot 01:43
I'm a robot like my dad's a robot like his father was a robot too. I might be rusty but I'm still in love with you. Do you still love me too? I might have malfunctioned but no one's not programmed a fool. I've made my mistakes, I'm machine, but I'm malleable. I hope you believe in me. I hope you believe in me, Your robotic fool.

ere you go 01:17
The way you say goodbye to me I want to keep forever; you keep kissing everything away. I know that this won't last for long. I'll bury treasure in this song for you. So thanks for everything. Thanks for the memories of everything you do.
5.
elementary 02:35
I get nervous every time I see you spread your wings and fly. Three times three is nine; I'm adding while you're multiplying. Be patient with me because I'm still learning what is elementary. I color inside the lines the pages you created, and I find we're perfectly designed; you're red, I'm blue, we're purple when combined. Be patient with me because I'm embracing what is elementary.
6.
snowman 01:28
Now that you know that I'm probably gone do you want to talk about it all? So thanks for the clothes and the care that you showed for me. As I decompose, I hope you prepare to see: The barren abandoned, transformed to leaves. Maybe you still believe. I hope you still believe.

about

midnight 2!

I recorded tracks 1-4 as part of a 'midnight challenge' I completed from 9:47 PM to midnight on January 3rd, 2019. Tracks 5-6 were recorded in previous 'midnight challenges' I attempted in December 2018.

They are all single performances and somehow far more thematically connected than I ever expected or anticipated them to be. Some phrases, melodies, and words repeat throughout.

Earlier that night we celebrated my sister's birthday (happy birthday, Sara!), and this album cover features her two incredible sons. At her birthday dinner Teddy played with this robot toy and Max kissed everything goodbye as he left, which sparked songs 3 + 4.

I hope you enjoy. Thank you, as always, for listening.
