I am a songwriter, first. Then a guitar player.
Mainly acoustic guitar.
I dabble with electric a bit.
And I dabble with piano.
I have also dabbled in...
...banjo, mandolin, bass, harmonica, saxaphone (I lent my sax to someone years ago and never got it back - no great loss), and fiddle.
You DO NOT want to hear me play fiddle. Trust me.

I constantly wish I were a piano player (as a songwriting tool, mostly).
And to that end, I've been dabbling a bit more lately.
Practice is always important.
So to practice, I decided to write a "piano song".
And to experiment further (after the guitar vst in the last one), I decided to record it...
Baby steps.


HARD

i don't know if you know about me
but i'm the guy that broke her heart
that's not someone you set out to be
you don't sign up for the part
through unexpected twists and turns
sometimes you turn the wrong card
you leave someone afraid of love
suspicious, hurt, hard
   
   it's my fault
   i'm to blame
   i dimmed that light
   i cut that flame
   it's on me
   i'm the reason she put up her guard
   I broke her
   I made her
   hard

it all started as roses and rose
sweet promises in the night
i loved her i can honestly say
she and i just felt right
without warning everything changed
now she's sullen, sad, and scarred
i left her afraid of love
haunted, hurt, hard
   
   it's my fault...
