about

Through this project I've been through a lot - a move, a job, some interesting personal developments. I started to think about how the walls of where I'm living reflected my mental state at the time I was writing each song. When I moved in, they were bare and pallid. A month later, they're covered in photos, posters, tapestries - things I've collected over the years that remind me of something special. This is one of my favorites that I came up with for this project.

I'm very proud to have spent the last month doing this. It was exhausting and i felt completely uninspired at times, but I'm glad I'll be able to look back on these past few weeks with something to show.

lyrics

Tile on my kitchen floor
Fake hardwood in the hallway
What will be under my feet
To hold me up as I walk away?

When my harvest month began
I was sick of listening.
Catalogued cathartic cries
One month's worth of songs to sing.

Exploring new neighborhoods
Brought my city back to life
And my midwestern misery
Mixed with hopeful lullabies.

Patchwork paint on bare new walls
Greeted me as I moved in
When my harvest month ended
I had covered all of them.
