Cowboy Cry

 

Virginia

 

Giving Up the Ghost

 

These songs are the result of about a week and a half of writing original songs in an attempt to write one a day. I have been writing music for about three years now and often find myself looking for new avenues to challenge myself to write more. Cowboy Cry was my first attempt at a song inspired by the Old West with a small, queer twist on it. Virginia, a love song, was written about a friend of mine I met while living in LA, and Giving up the Ghost is inspired by the wreckage of that relationship. I hope you enjoy!
