about

I recorded the piano track on my parents' 50-year-old Yamaha spinet; which happens to be the same piano I learned to play on 50 years ago. How cool is that?

lyrics

well gods they come and gods they go
and they ask so much but they never show
you can hoard regrets you can repent your sins
but i’ll be riding on the solar winds

cause we’re all stardust baby … subatomically so
where your redemption lies only you can know
you can take your heaven you can take your hell
while i hitch a ride on a comet’s tail

all you folk on terra firma just a fighting for power
while y’all spin around one-thousand miles an hour
well i’ve set my sights on the Kuiper Belt
and i’ll hitch a ride on a comet’s tail

well life’s a hostile mass of ice and gravel
but just a distant ray of sunshine it’ll all unravel
into a brilliant shining trail a million miles wide
tap the heliosphere and take it for a ride

so why just muddle through? why just burn the years?
i’ll be galivanting round in the ionosphere
maybe do some good while i’m along my way
to see angelic views of the milky way

if we’re decent and we’re kind to the end of this show
well we’ll be just fine no matter how the rest goes
i’ve got designs beyond this gravity well
i’m gonna hitch a ride on a comet’s tail

you can fret your life and tally losses and wins
but i’ll be out sailing on the solar winds
cause i’ve set my sights on the Kuiper Belt
where i’ll hitch a ride on a comet’s tail

cause we’re all stardust baby yeah yeah (x3)
i’ll hitch a ride a comet’s tail

GMacGuffin San Diego, California

I write songs about bad people in unfortunate circumstances, then sing and play them standing up (the songs, not the people).

Sometimes I record them so I can play drums and such.
