About the work

A closer look.

A song written from one real place that belongs to someone you name. You give me one person, one real place that's theirs (a street, a town, a bench, the road out), and one true detail only you would know. I walk the place first, find the one detail that would be wrong at any other address, and build the song around it. I send the first two lines back free, before any money moves. If they land, I finish the song: original lyrics plus a produced track, delivered in 7 days, one revision. If I cannot hear a song in what you give me, I tell you and you keep your money. Nothing you tell me goes public. Hear my own first: 'No Street Goes Through' was built from a town called Jessie, North Dakota, population twenty-five, where every street dead-ends into short mowed grass. Words I answer to: custom song, a song about a place, the town you left, a song for home, the street you grew up on, a song for someone far away, a song for a place you miss.
