I just recorded this song a few days ago, it's called "The Poison". Lyrics are below:
The Poison
I looked into your only eyes
The echo’s growing in my brain
Every line we never say
The poison hides inside of you
Inside of me
Inside of us
One more way to defy
One more chance for innocence
Another question to erase
The poison hides inside of (me, you)
Every word we never speak
Is another world we never share
Every time we hide our dreams
The poison hides inside of you
Inside of me
Inside us all
Every moment we’ve endured
Every sign we can’t ignore
We’re too damn far to hide this dream
So don’t give up your inner soul
It’s killing me to pace away and take it all
I cannot fight my inner mind
Hold me, touch me, hug me, I won’t erase
Won’t breathe, won’t sleep, don’t think you should erase
Our short days are not enough
The echo’s flowing ‘round my veins
The will to us will not subside
That poison hides inside of you
Inside of me
Inside of one
Inside of every word we never speak
It’s so defined, yet so unclear
So it's that time of year, Christmas! So as a gift to my mom this year, I wrote her a song. This one is called 'A Different Kind of Day'. I tried to make it more upbeat so she wouldn't shed too many tears when she listened to it, but let's face it, my mom is a crybaby... gotta love her :)
My parents are new to the empty nest scene this year, and this song is about that. All the children have moved out, and everyday is going to be different from now on, 'A Different Kind of Day'. Aha! Hope you guys enjoy this one. Best luck to parents everywhere!

Just added a new song called "Bring It On". Another personal song. I wrote this one over Thanksgiving Break. The song speaks for itself, the first few lines open with: "Well a wall is on the outside / While the pain is on the inside / You can't see it / So you don't know" No one should ever fight anything alone. Unfortunately, there are some things that can render you helpless, completely trapped, and alone. Some problems people simply can't understand, can't see, and you're left to fend for yourself. It's a terrible place to be... I don't wish that on anyone.
Lyrics are posted with this.
I wrote a short, yet sweet song last night called "Just Carry On". It was another one of those songs that just seemed to write itself. It's about panicking under stress. Hmm.... must have something to do with my time here at college. It's been a rough first semester here at MTU. Busy to say the least. Oh well, I simply have to carry on, as the song goes.
I've been handing out a 7 song Demo CD of my best acoustic work to friends and family. I removed some of the songs I had on this vox site that are included on the CD as not to spoil things for people, heh. The CD is nothing fancy, just a CD writable labeled with permanent marker in a jewel case with a lyrics sheet. The songs on the disk include: All These Memories, I Love You, Love and War, Come to Code, You're Not Alone, Rain From Your Eyes, and Acoustic 7. If you want, I'll even autograph the lyrics sheet for you! Maybe one day if I become famous, you could sell my signature for thousands of dollars on e-bay :P
If you are interested in a copy of my Acoustic Demo CD, shoot me a message via e-mail or facebook. My e-mail is duckshepherd@hotmail.com No charge!
I've been writing songs for over two years now. Since then I've lost track of how many songs I've even written. My first song was written as a tribute to my friend Andy Bouwens, who passed away from cancer in February 2006, at the age of 19. I wrote my song Wise Man during the summer of 2005 while Andy was still around. I wrote a second song about a month after that, then a third, and... well, I just couldn't stop. Song writing is like crack to me I guess; it's become so addicting, heh.
So enjoy the music I post here! I guess I'll have to post pictures here too for friends and family back home in Alaska. I think I'm gonna like this Vox thing.
