    One of just 1000 physical CDs pressed of my first album, She Makes Noise. Replete with references to social music websites that no longer exist! Once they're gone, I'm not pressing anymore, and this is pretty much the only collectable item that exists as far as my first album goes, so this is your chance to grab one before I'm famous (I joke...). Let me know if you'd like me to sign it for you.

lyrics

In a ditch filled with ash by the grave of a man
A fireman’s watching as a building burns down
In his heart, though he’s climbed to the top of the line
He only feels helpless in this lingering sound

At the height of a tower near the close of the hour
A lawyer turns forty and she’s drinking alone
She gets out of her car, sees her door left ajar
Upstairs someone’s moaning
And she knows she is home

Through the eyes red with blood of a boy and his drugs
The world is revolving ‘round a moment of fear
As he ransacks his mind he remembers a time
And someone who loved him
If she only could hear

There’s a man alone on Long Island
Wondering how life got by him
Writing a last goodbye
As he falls
He dreams of his lover
And aches at the thought that another
Will not be far behind
Tomorrow she’ll wonder why

Today a proud general’s mourning
If only he’d heeded the warnings
Many would not have died
In his mind he knows it’s not proper for a ranking officer
But all he can do is cry

You were never mistaken till you finally awakened
And you realized your lover was gone
Guess you were not prepared for losing all you care for
In the light of a single dawn

Now I’m breathing confusion in this blind illusion
And I don’t really know what to say
Though the next may come harder in this human barter
I’ve decided to walk away

Now you’re jonesed and strung out
On the back of this high
On the dark side of nowhere
Face up to the sky
Washed up like driftwood
On yesterday’s shores
Wrecked like some proud Ulysses
Against heaven’s door

So now you’re standing soft spoken ‘cause your heart is broken
And there’s nothing that you can do
Love takes a delicate touch
He didn’t have to do so much
But he had to be there for you
