Happy to release my single “A Modest Proposal”

“Would you choose never if you couldn’t have all my time?” Maybe partial commitment is all anyone really can muster, and anyway with musicians it’s already hard to get more than that. This song wonders if “some commitment” is a good enough proposal, or if maybe it’s just too modest.

Life’s real rules are simple: once those days are gone, they won’t return again; and once you’re gone, I won’t see you again. My newest single, ‘The Rules,’ is available now for streaming everywhere!

Thanks to everyone that came out and participated in my 3-Ring Binder show at Icehouse! Here’s a handful of request postcards from the show.

I released my new single! “Fly Safe” song is about saying goodbye to someone you love. It’s about being willing to wait for them, and hoping that their return will be a new beginning.

I moved with my family from Minneapolis to the San Fernando Valley in LA in 2011, and I’m still getting used to it. I find LA to be warm, welcoming, impersonal, weird, and scary at the same time. “Uncanny Valley” is about what it’s like for me to be a songwriter living here in the Valley in 2018.

“We Ain’t Telling” is the first of several monthly singles I’m going to be releasing! I wrote this one a couple years ago during a two-month stretch when I was writing a song every day. Enjoy!

Hi friends – here’s a song called “Yoko.” A few years ago, I called some musician friends and we made this recording of it. The performance we captured feels like a dream to me, and that’s what the story sounds like, too. So I decided to share it with you again. I think about the people in the lyrics almost every day, even though I never met them. So here they are in a song. Hope you enjoy it. Peace, DW
