Amanda Helm Reminds me a lot of Two Knights and Snowing. Super raw and vulnerable in a way that hurts, but also heals. Definitely worth a listen... or you know, several listens. a whole bucket of listens. Favorite track: i was reading that message while walking and ran into a wall.

11111² This is an amazing project and I demand that you - yes, you - go drop a few bucks on it. A raw, emotional piece as cathartic for listeners as it was for its writer, this EP is rough around the edges but has a heart of gold. Get it now, play it loudly. Great job, Great Job. Favorite track: i would have a handlebar mustache if i could drive one.

1.
you made your way into my bloodstream just like this nicotine except you won't leave i think distance was the killer or was it this never-ending winter in my chest but i won't let you go so easily we made a home with skin and bone how can you just leave did none of this mean a thing every word we said i'm broken i'm tired i guess i just misread you
2.
all those long drives and late nights you never picked up the phone i think i know why you blamed it on the rain well the rain told me to say it wouldn't have worked out anyway and everything feels like there's something you're forgetting and i don't mind forgetting you don't let it go to your head all you did was add a page to my book of excuses and reasons to be alone
3.
i never felt like i belonged in my own like something was off from the start was this a divine trick played on those less fortunate by whoever runs this place places i could call home are ghosts dancing in my dreams when i'm asleep telling me that home is nowhere but i'm pretty sure i found home when i'm alone
4.
I can’t stand the empty space in my bed I’ve been falling asleep to stand up comedy just to forget the way you used to lay next to me and pretend that I meant something to you please stop using me just so you won't feel alone at night
5.
you were too soft for me to hold you how you needed my hands are worn from years of misuse and i’m sorry we wept outside in the cold and realized our love had frozen a long ago and i wasn’t sure what to say to you except that you were the only home i’ve known and i hope that you’re doing okay.

about

i recorded and wrote this over the period of a week in my room, my garage, my car, and my bathroom all with one mic. it was really cathartic and rewarding. i hope you enjoy the tunes. or don't.

thanks to ross, stephen, shmapey, and jt for letting me bounce songs off of them. thanks to ross and stephen specifically for their photos and photo editing respectively. and a big thanks to myself for making it this far.

oh, and the clip beginning "i was reading that message" is from the marc maron stand up album "this has to be funny." all that belongs to him.
