The words I couldn’t say (Cover)🎵 “Porch Light”
This three-minute piece is built on a 5/4 time signature, creating a rhythmic flow that feels unstable yet fluid. The tonality centers around D major, blended with Mixolydian mode, and features extended chords such as Dmaj7 and G9 to evoke an ethereal and psychedelic harmonic atmosphere. Electric guitars with chorus effects simulate the sensation of rippling water, while synths and electric organ provide harmonic pads underneath. The drums maintain the five-beat groove with a steady interplay of ride cymbal and hi-hat, and the bass enhances rhythmic tension through glissando and syncopation. The structure follows an intro–verse–jam–outro format, with the middle section expanding into improvised passages and layered textures, creating dynamic swells and emotional shifts. Overall, the mood is hypnotic, light, and dreamlike, guiding the listener into a state of flow and surrender through the interplay of rhythm and tone.

🎧In the mountains, a man fades quietly, murmuring fragments of thought to the distant love he’ll never touch again.
🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬
"The Ridge"
He lay between two rocks, one pressing into his ribs, the other cradling his head like a pillow made of cold. The trees didn’t move. The wind had stopped. He thought about the coffee filter he forgot to rinse that morning. About the socks she hated—those with the little flamingos. About the way she said “okay” when she meant “no.”
His leg was broken, or maybe it wasn’t. It didn’t matter. He remembered the way she peeled oranges, in spirals. He remembered the sound of the kettle. He remembered the time they argued about whether clouds looked more like sheep or ships.
He wanted to say something important. But all that came was: “I left the porch light on.” And then: “Don’t forget the basil.” And then nothing.
The trees didn’t move. The wind had stopped. The rocks stayed.

“Porch Light”
I laid down where the pine trees split
Sky was cracked, but the silence fit
My breath was thin, the snow was red
I thought of the toast you burned last Wed
The ridge was high, the sun was low
I watched my shadow start to go
I tried to speak, but all that came
Was your name, and then your name
Don’t forget the porch light,
I left it on again
The cat likes her food warm,
She won’t eat it from the can
And if the mail comes early,
Just toss it in the bin
I’ll be late for dinner—
Might not make it in
The wind stopped asking where I’d been
My fingers hummed a song within
I saw your coat, the yellow one
The one you wore when we first run
I thought I’d say something profound
But all I found was “don’t fall down”
And “check the leak beneath the sink”
And “buy more coffee, I think”
Don’t forget the porch light,
I left it on again
The basil’s almost dying,
It needs the morning sun
And if the kettle whistles,
Let it sing until it’s done
I’ll be late for dinner—
Tell the moon I’m gone
I’m floating like a grocery list
Half-remembered, half-dismissed
The sky is folding in on me
Like laundry sheets or memories
Don’t forget the porch light
Don’t forget the porch light
Don’t forget the porch light
I left it on
