Here’s another original song, about the conflict between religious faith and doubt.
This is a pop-rock tune about the emotional conflicts following a broken relationship. We can all relate to that, yes? I hope you enjoy.
This calypso rock song comes ultimately from astrology which, admittedly, I don’t put a lot of stake in. Nevertheless, I was born under the Western sign of the goat in the Eastern year of the monkey, and this conflicting energy of ambition v. playfulness does happen to sum up my mental energy.
In the end, it’s just a fun song about inner conflict set in a sort of cartoon, banana republic setting. Enjoy!
I’ve always loved Buffet’s classic “Margaritaville,” to the point that I once took a challenge from some Navy shipmates to translate the entire song into Arabic and sing that (admittedly terrible) version at karaoke. This cover contains one line from that translation. Enjoy!

A few years back, a humorist friend of mine and I created alternative online personae through which to promote our more provocative jokes. I’m not entirely proud of everything I did under the name Samson Krugg—in fact, some of it I would feel compelled to apologize for—but the Coffee Shop Philosophers webcomic still remains a favorite of mine. I’ve decided to begin republishing it here, just for the hell of it.
This is a hard rock tune about a vengeance fantasy.
There have been a few set-backs this weekend, so I decided to do a sort of “get it TF together” podcast to wrap up the stuff I’ve been up to lately. I talk about the postponing of the Two Johns podcast, the books I’ve been reading, my own books, and music I’ve been trying to share rather than just keeping it to myself.
My latest song share is an acoustic pop song strongly influenced by islands/reggae music.
This song I wrote for a friend and co-worker of mine whose voice I admired. She was shy about her singing, so I wanted to write something in her range, a rather deep range for the female voice, that she would feel comfortable with.
She never sang the song, so after we were no longer co-workers I decided to record a version. Her lower range was in the middle of my range, so it worked well. This recording is the result.
This is an original rock song that’s part of an unfinished Giantslayer album, the only other song I wrote for which was Jack, which I may record to at least give Feel Think some context.
