about

Singing Desperately Suite is a concept EP that caricatures my stilted process of awakening to the suffering I have caused women in my life. The four pieces represent my journey from oblivious (“Prelude”) to indignant and indifferent (“Singing Desperately”) to ashamed (“Crude Advance”) and finally a return to obliviousness (“You Seem Upset”).

I’m aware that women’s suffering is not my story to tell. My intention here is to apologize and describe my process of waking up, including my failings along the way. I’d also like to hope I could possibly motivate others to face the dark, unflattering parts of themselves and strive to do better.

Thank you as always for listening.

Track Name: Singing Desperately
I find it funny
how you find it sad.
Keep telling myself,
I can’t be that bad.

You’re thinking of me differently;
I’m thinking of myself.
I’m starting to stop as we speak;
I’m starting to lose.
I’m falling asleep and I am
sorry again.

I’m aware I’ve begun to believe too much,
Recoiling from your tender touch,
Believin’
I’m this way for a reason.

You’re thinking of me differently;
I’m thinking of myself.
I’m starting to stop as we speak;
I’m starting to lose.
I’m falling asleep and I am
sorry again.
Track Name: Crude Advance
I thought
the women had agreed
to let
us live in ecstasy.

I was confused
by the new romance.
You didn’t like
my crude advance.

Desire
seems to get the best of me.
Inspired,
but I’m singing desperately.

I dream
we live in harmony.
It seems
you dream differently.
I awake
to a barren valley.
I loom above;
I cast this shadow of love.
Track Name: You Seem Upset
I promise to myself
to act and feel like someone else.
But in the morning,
I forget.
Then I look at you, and you seem upset.
