I have adapted some of my poems into full songs (verses, chorus, maybe a bridge) and written the accompanying music on Noteflight. All are written for two guitars (rhythm and lead), bass guitar and drums. I would LOVE to hear them performed by a real life band one day, so if you might be interested (or know somebody else who could be) in using any of these, please do get in touch.
Also check out my SoundCloud for instrumentals I’ve written.
Blackjack
A love-ish song, full of gambling references and clichés.
Stand With Me
A plea to someone to stay by your side no matter what.
Done With You
Written for a friend after they escaped from an abusive marriage.
Crazy
A song about finding that one person the same kind of crazy as you.
Call Me A Dreamer
Another love song, longing after someone you know you’ll never have.
Sand Storm
As the chorus makes clear, “this is not a love song.” Though it does sound like one.
Society’s Rules
Break them, before they break you.
