Tribute to Art Potato
This is a song I wrote about/for a Twitch streamer named Art Potato. The lyrics are: The ground was shaking on the day that Tato came to town.

I Want To Say
I started writing this song the day after the election, and finished writing it about a week later. The lyrics are: I want to shout out that everyone matters But why would anyone even care? I want to deny that the system is rigged, But I haven't ever seen it ever be fair. I want to say something...

The Christmas Lobster
I had a song assignment to write on the theme 'You Know Me', and my friend Katy suggested I write it about the Christmas lobster. This appealed to me for some reason, and this is the result. Thanks to my friends who I convinced to yell 'The Christmas Lobster!' into my phone late one night…
