#40, “December Parties” (screenplay melody idea, draft) 12/11/2022

This is a musical screenplay melody idea for a Zen-like character who may give unwanted advice too often. Partial lyrics: “You must find your happiness inside. You must find it from within. You must try to let yourself see that there’s nothing left to win. The deeper you look inside, the further (or deeper?) you will go, and if you keep on digging, you’ll find yourself at home.”

#38, Practicing “Cup of Coffee” for 2nd Open Mic

I feel like such a fool for performing my first open mic last week. I must go back. I am planning on performing “Cup of Coffee” which comes from one of my 2009 psychiatric hospitalizations. That experience still feels like it just happened yesterday. I only recently realized that it was a traumatic experience. Trauma sticks around. Here is a rough recording from 12/04/2022…
