A song about traveling performed live at Joshua Tree National Park. I wrote this song before I left for California back in 2008. It made me feel more at-ease about traveling across the country. I hope it makes you feel at-ease too.

You can run every day from paranoia
or you can run with it
There is a place that is safe in California
you can run with it

People know where to go and how to warn ya
You can stay in any place that has a sofa
Or on the ground in a town in South Dakota
Either way, you win.

Go on and get out there.

Archipelago Me – original recording

itunes link: http://bit.ly/EmptyRoomsEP

I released this EP a while back in 2009 when I was living on my sister's couch after I first moved to LA. No accompanying video yet, but I wanted to put the song out there to see what you think. Looking forward to releasing something new, but getting the old out of the way feels good. Keep truckin'.

If there is something to go back to
don't sign that lease
I've been feeling things that I thought
were rightly deceased
See, life's just a sleepy dream
and I think you should say what you mean
If there is something to go back to then
go....go.... go ahead and go.

If there is hatred to hold on to
lay your head down and weep
A little bird in my tree
gives me peace I can keep
If life's such a sleep dream
why don't I just say what I mean?
If there is something to hold on to then
hold... hold.... until you're sad and old.

I've been hiding all of my sickly songs
because I am an island in the sea
of what I think I should be -
Archipelago Me.

Go... go.... go ahead and go.

Sunflower

Video:


Here's a simple one-take performance of a song I wrote many years ago when I lived in upstate New York. I figured now would be a good time to share it with the release of Nice Peter's Sunflower Song and Mary Doodles' inspired painting ( link coming soon ). You can see another painting Mary Doodles did using this Sunflower as her backing track here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM-nFKA3Aq8

Thank you for your patient eyes and ears.

I've Got a Girl and she loves that tune
we've got a past of sneaking into
each other's rooms.

We hardly kiss. We hide it good.
but my sheets and my pillows
they know the truth.
They see how I'm kissing you.
Do you want some truth?
I've already started missing you.

There are so many more things to find
but I found so much in such little time
in a place like this
way up here in the altitude
in a town next to nothin' I found you.
I found you.

She's got a touch so sweet and smooth
an innocent look that does not allow
me to move

She's so colorful
She lights up a room
She's been giving me gifts without even knowing it.
Can I please give you this?

Cause now I am knowing it.
I've got a good thing to miss.

There are so many more things to find
but I found so much in such little time
in a place like this
way up here in the altitude
a sunflower grows and has been in full bloom
I'll be missing you.

Oh please, let me keep my sunflower
Oh please leave me asleep with my sunflower
There is no need to weep, my sunflower.

I've Got a Girl and she loves that tune
we've got a past and maybe a future too
I'll be missing you.

Give me Moments – VII

Video:


A moment for those who are missing.
for free download: http://www.facebook.com/givememotion

I was just a child when you had left
Coloring the shapes to keep my worries far away
Now in a moment, awaiting for years
You appear in a doorway
I am holding back my tears
And we begin again
As this moment ends
Stay right here.
