I had my heart set on some things
now I'm here with nothing at all
but a truce with you and these things
(that I'm looking for)
plans have changed & I've been forced
to walk away without anything at all
that summer's gone
our path has lifted
our words are here
but our time has moved away
we spoke when you were in the gold coast of Chicago
(I was patiently waiting)
Tara Lynn
I thought I'd be with you now
now ever since
my plans stay buried
I had my heart set on some things
now it's a truce with you that I have
I'll stay west & wait for these things
(that I've been looking for)
now that plans have changed & I've been forced
to walk away without anything at all
that summer's gone
our path has lifted
my blueprints for my last few years I've thrown away
we spoke when you were in the gold coast of Chicago
(I was patiently waiting)
I thought we would be married by now
(but I'm back looking)
Tara Lynn
I thought I'd be with you now
ever since
my plans stay buried (for someone else)
Tara Lynn
I thought we'd be married by now ow ow
now ever since
my plans stay buried

I headed to the city
for the third time this week
I'm off to see you
and I won't be there any time soon
cause I know
the traffic will be horrible
I've got a plan to ditch these
long drives & parking fees
I want to move in with you
It's not an environmentally friendly way to commute
to be coming home from work
but always stopping in between to see you
and it's clear
we're not meant to be this way
and these damn parking fees
I'm getting so sick of paying
and it's clear
we're not meant to be this way
I've got a plan to ditch these
long drives & parking fees
I want to move in with you
and stay the night
I want to more in with you
and see what life would be like
if you were my wife

simple at first
a few day's worth in the city
of walking & words
the beginning of my search
I've found what I'm looking for in another (you)
you're moving away from california
I'm moving away from home too
if you stay with me Tamara
I'm going to stay in love with you
simple at first
a few week's worth of discussing
our plans & concerns
we plan for the first and begin our search
through the city to find a new home
you're moving away from california
I'm moving away from home too
if you stay with me Tamara
I'm going to stay in love with you
simple at first
turns into a few month's worth of us searching
for concrete and earth
now at the start of the first we'll have a new place worth
of us starting a life on our own
You've moved away from california
I've moved away from home too
You can stay with me Tamara
I can create a new home with you

September has come and gone
those 4 weeks have gone by so quickly
patient. driving alone
pained from excitement on my way to Chicago
Hi, it's nice to meet you
I'll be straight with you, on what we're hoping for
I'll be safe with you, your heart beats on an open door
Hi, it's nice to meet you

I'm headed out west again
from our side of Lake Michigan to the western shore
to meet your folks for the first time
oh I hope they like me
cause my plans aren't short
I'd like to look back on these days
and to refer to you I'll say
that's my wife who was my girlfriend at the time
I know
we have our hearts set on tomorrows
I know
that you'll be here for me
and I know
there's plenty of fish in chicago
and you're the one for me
so when we get back home again
to our side of lake michigan
I'll be at your door
and when your kiss says that I can't leave
oh i know you like me
and your plans aren't short
and when we look back on these days
to refer to you I'll say
that's my wife who was my girlfriend at the time
that's my wife who was my girlfriend at the time

Scarves and Sweaters

It's been a cold winter.
But you've been here to warm my skin and bones.
Your scarves & your sweaters wrap around my cheeks when I hold you close.
There's summer in your eyes.
And there's spring in your voice, angel.
I remember seeing Copeland,
Replacing all the words with your name.
I remember seeing Owen,
And driving back in the dark, cold rain at 3 a.m.
(But do you?)
There's summer in your eyes.
And there's spring in your voice, angel.
There was summer in your eyes.
And spring in your voice, angel.
There was fall in your sighs.
And nothing else more beautiful than you.
But how's winters going to be this year without you here to warm me?

cheers to another week
I know you're ready to leave because
I hear about it constantly
cheers to another week
a re-run of the same old things
youre working for free
this seems to be completely, completely, completely wrong
I know it's scary
you're buried, in something
with a dead end and you're set on leaving
this all seems to me to be so
horribly, horribly, horribly, horribly stupid
don't take your time baby
at this time you could do anything (so don't you)
don't waste your time honey
there's no reason to be there
you've been so stressed out latelt
it's clear you're ready to leave because
I hear about it constantly
cheers to another week
a re-run of the same old things
and youre working for free
this seems to be completely, completely, completely wrong
I know it's scary
you're buried, in something
with a dead end and you're set on leaving
this all seems to me to be so
horribly, horribly, horribly, horribly stupid
(solo by Abraham Lincoln)
don't take your time baby
at this time you could do anything (so don't you)
don't waste your time honey
there's no reason to be there
don't take your time baby
at this time you could do anything (so don't you)
don't waste your time honey
there's no reason to be there
ooo oo ooo oo oo o o o oo yep.

last month, is the last month that youll spend being tied to her
this is not the first time she's done this to you
but now she's found someone else to abuse
and you could crawl back again
but don't bother
there are more options for you
and you can do better
you've been with years of this
and now your efforts have gone misplaced
I know this month has been hard for you
but your future's not so bleak
this has come as a big opportunity
if you can wait
you'll find love eventually
patience
these things arent immediate
don't jump into things too soon
the right one would not throw themselves on you
and now you could crawl back again
but don't bother
there's someone out there who's a perfect match for you
and I'm sure you'll find her
you've been with years of this
and now your efforts have gone misplaced
I know this month has been hard for you
but your future's not so bleak
this has come as a big opportunity
if you can wait
you'll find love eventually

my work is done here, and I'm packing up my things
I'm hesitating, leaving
I really like it here
I wish I had some excuse to stay
it's to soon for me to speak so honestly
the rain has cleared
my job is done here
I'm to be on my way
to another place
I really like it here
I wish I had some excuse to stay
it's much to soon for me to speak so honestly
I really like it here
I wish I had some excuse to tell you
so I can stay in Ottawa and get to know you

I make a lot of music. Mostly with guitars.

Love & Desolation

I like to pretend I have a really talented friend who recorded this album as a gift. That's what it feels like; a gift from a stupidly close friend.

Determination
by RichaadEB // Amie Waters

Still is, to this day, an absolute banger of an album to an amazing game.
go to album
This Chicago (where else?) post-rock group builds wafting atmospheric ambient out of slow drums and a shimmering churn of droning guitars.

Pinpricks of guitar and the gentle murmur of organ fill these soft, soothing songs from Jacob Kart. Available on red cassette.
