#Undersea
The things I’ve found
When I was submerged
And almost drowned
In the woods
The things I’ve seen
When I was lost
And made more keen
CHORUS
The darkness is a doorway
The loss reveals love
The ways that going
Down down down
Lead you
To the light above

RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK SIXTEEN An album of songs I wrote while I was going through a hard time with my mental health back in 2016 or so. One of the first things I recorded, actually. It's a lo-fi offering, but has a charming indie heart.

A #word
Has many meanings
Can clarify or obscure
A word
Is all we have
To communicate the pure
Or twisted design
Of the heart
A word to end
A word to start
A word
What have you said?
What have you heard?
A word
With a word
The world’s destroyed
With a word
The world’s cured
#vss365
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK FIFTEEN
A musical reunion with Jclazzified, where we look into some of our biggest inspirations and turn it into poetry. Hopefully INSPO introduces you to some great artists and people. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/inspo-...
What’s heaven’s
#Bank vault like?
Is it my fault
If I don’t strike
The gong of generosity?
Live for the sweetest
Synchronicity?
Why do I tighten
My purse strings?
When eternity sings
Of giving giving giving!
Of giving to the least!
Of living living living!
A veritable feast!
#vss365
Get it down in #ink
The words written in your soul
The joy swimming
In your bloodstream
The thousand sorrows’ toll
Get it down in ink
The words passed along to you
The stories that
Light up your eyes
The dreams and visions, too
Get it down in ink
You only have so much time
#vss365
Lean on your #arm
That would never
Harm me
Trust in your love
While the chaos
Swirls around us
Bruises from mistakes
Give instead of take
Try to find
The secret place
The secret place
#vss365
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK 14 These songs, which celebrate the Christmas season, might transport you, inspire you, bring meaning to your life, in the listening. They are songs, remembering my mom, getting into the spirit of the season. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/christ...
I may have traded my #pen
For a keyboard
But I’m still focused on finding
The perfect word
Technology advances
Hearts are still the same
I just want to create something
Worthy of my name
Don’t give me that AI slop
I would rather flop
Have a failed crop
Than use that AI slop
#vss365
He has shown thee
Oh #man
What is good
And what the Lord
Requires of thee:
But to do justly
And to love mercy
And to walk humbly
With thy God

Cello music
My long hair
Could #conduct electricity
But I may have to cut it off
For work
My heart’s still
A live wire
& a haircut doesn’t determine
My worth
The way I want
To leave an impression
Is mainly through
My words
It’s not really
The things we see
But the message
That we heard
That really matters
Like a fairy #sprite
Happiness just might
Be the ingredient
That can make us
Take to flight
Like a jellyfish
We can make a wish
Join with life’s grand ocean
In a lover’s kiss
Whether it’s a far off
Twinkling star
Or a ride with the radio
Blasting in your car…
#vss365
Like a wheel
And it’s axis
Like a paycheck
And taxes
Like a plan
And then praxis
What does my heart
#Revolve around
Like a planet
And the sun
Like a bullet
In a gun
Like work
That is fun
What does my heart
#Revolve around?
If I make something important
Will life just take it all away?
#vss365
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK THIRTEEN
This week, the thirteenth week, I am appropriately re-releasing my Halloween album, 13 O'Clock. This was a fun exercise, turning famous and less famous Halloween poems into indie folk songs. #literaryrock #halloweenpoems gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/13-ocl...
Things still #fascinate me
There’s still a twinkle in my eye
I still find joy in life
And feel a natural high
Things still bother me, sometimes
And bring sorrow to my heart
Rain on my parade
Put sadness in my art
I’m not sick of it all…
#vss365
A whirlwind
A wind storm
An explosion of
Indescribable fire
The news benefits
From a tragedy
But I think if we’d all
Just inquire
Into the #tempest
Of every day
The thoughts that
Whip & whirl
Inside our brains
A simple inquiry
With no judgment
“How are you really doing?”
We’d feel less insane
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK TWELVE
Last week, I re-released Skeleton Keys. This week, it is Songs In The Key Of Skeleton, a covers album, featuring a bunch of my friend's versions of my songs. This one holds a special place in my heart. #coversongs #originalmusic gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/songs-...
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK ELEVEN
Skeleton Keys was an album that started as what I like to call a "charity challenge." 12 friends gave some money to their charity of choice, in exchange for me turning their prompts into quirky, indie rock songs. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/skelet...
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK TEN
My album Write On! was written in a time where I was involved in songwriting workshops and reading books about the craft. It's 30 short songs to aid in the inspiration and perspiration of writing. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/write-...
My painting TIDAL WETLANDS
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK NINE
I spent a week or two in 2020, writing Christmas songs on the piano and then went into my home studio and added fun sounds, like jingle bells, and hand drums, and the like. #christmassongs #originalmusic gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/christ...
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK EIGHT
I wrote 22 Love Songs using #vss365 writing prompts to come up with songs about love and relationship, a sort of imaginative look into what I've experienced and what I would want out of a partner. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/22-lov...
