read me!

hi!!! i make music, in the loosest sense! much of my stuff nowadays fits somewhere in a category of lo-fi folk, dj sets, hyperpop, and ambient. i'm still obvi working on my website but once i get it all figured out, i'll try to have it posted. it's gonna be kind of chaotic and will likely be organized in a way that just sort of all melts together regardless of genre, but hey, it's my website and i do what i want xoxo

sweet honey romance

a little love song i wrote using the basis of the vocal part from "mary" by big thief. i don't really know who i wrote it about at the time, maybe it was just something i wanted to write.
if you were a bee
i'd also be a little honey bee
i would pick flowers to put in your hair
and you'd be buzzing
the talk of the town
and you'd show off your flower
and do a little dance
and we'd be in a sweet honey romance
if you were a tree
i'd be a tree and we'd be in a park
watching all the birds
would it be absurd to want to drop our leaves
in the early autumn light
and i'd hope that they'd fall side by side
just like we're holding hands
and we'd be in a sweet honey romance
if we were two birds
you'd say the word and i'd sing a little tune
a song about bees, flowers, trees, and leaves
and you would hum along to our silly lovebird song
and we'd be two birds in harmony
we'd do a little dance
and we'd be in a sweet honey romance

comfort clothes

a cute little song i wrote about wearing clothes that make you feel prepared for the day
i will wear my comfort clothes
so i can feel whole again
i'll wear my sweater to the garden
i will wear my shoes and socks
so i can step on leaves and rocks
with pants that let me sit and breathe in
and if i put a beanie on
it means i'll have a lovely day
so i will wear my comfort clothes
and all will be okay

you, again (version 2)

a second, more polished and fleshed out version of "you, again" from the sundaughter ep"

life w u

a cute lil indie dance (hyperpop?) song i made for my husband about how much i love him :3 also features an interpolation of a lil segment from "on melancholy hill" by gorillaz


honey I think this is a forever love (could be, could be)
and I know that you know that (you and I, you and i)
and I wanna spend my whole life by your side (could be, could be)
and I know that you know that (you and I, you and i)
I will love you so gently
from the day you first met me
baby I see a life with you
baby I see a life with you
I wish I was still kissing you
so I throw my hands out cause I know you'll reach out
I will hold you forever
I will love you forever
I will love you so gently (could be, could be)
from the day you first met me (you and I, you and i)
baby I see a life with you
baby I see a life with you (you are my medicine when you're close to me)

sundaughter ep

recorded mostly on tape between the years of 2022-23. i consider most of these songs to be rather intimate, and would love to record them a little more cleanly moving forward. or not, i like tape hiss.


shed

a song about being trans and sometimes being a little uncomfortable with the body you operate



i wanna shed my skin
and whatever peels with it
how do you tell someone
you want a body just like theirs?
i want a reset
i want a do-over
i want a character creation screen
i wanna feel like i'm the real thing
i wanna be just like you
i wanna be just like you


i want to glow

what can i say, i'm bashful by nature.

a scene is set with friends i've met just recently
this coffee shop is empty save for a few
bubbly like my lungs when you first met me
i hoped to god you'd say you like me too
i could've grabbed your hand but i was frightened
i'm dreaming now of sunsets, trees, and you


garden song

i always felt bad that this song sounds so melancholic. i hope it comes off more as being hopeful. i like that i accidentally turned it into a waltz towards the end, i always thought it was nice. i like to imagine that my husband and i would dance to it together one day. when i first wrote this it was a manifestation song-- i was unhappy with where i was in life and needed to hold onto the hope of something better. the next year i met the love of my life. manifestation works, and this song is about him.

tomorrow i will play carpenter
i will build myself a home
i will sit out in my garden
where i'll be free to roam
and i see you in the flowers
that in my front yard grow
and i dreamt that you were waiting
for a love you longed to know
and i'd kiss you in the morning
the second i awake
and we'd live and love so happily
in the home that we would make


you, again

one of my more vulnerable songs, i think. it sounds like a romantic love song but i tried really hard to make it clear that it isn't. sometimes one of your close friends is someone you were at one point very much in love with and sometimes that love evolves into a deep admiration. sometimes your body remembers what it's like to still be in love with them, but you're not really, you're just watering the flowers in front of their home.

did you know that i love everything you make?
you've worked so tirelessly to grow
the folds and creases in your bed i wake
a home for yourself
a love, a life, i'm smitten
but i don't want to fall in love with you again
in my dream last night i held your hand
i love you like a dog, one look i'm yours, i'm taken
in that dream you said i look a lot like you
i do, i do, i do
my bones they scream and ache inside my skin
three cards lay out your past, present and future
i'm hoping all three are me
but i don't want to fall in love with you again


song for the tiled floors in my home

an instrumental song. i like to think it's sort of a prayer in song form. sometimes i play it when the weather changes, or the season changes, and i like to imagine it's a way of manifesting that the coming season or next few days or hours is filled with love and peace.


by your side

sometimes our most important relationships are ones that are a little geographically strained. sometimes we need hugs that are felt by the ears and heart. sometimes we need different ways of saying "i'm there for you," or "i love you". i often fear that this may end up being the best, or certainly most gentle, song i'll ever write. i hope i haven't peaked. maybe it's okay if it's this song.

dry your teary eyes out
dry your teary eyes
i'll be by your side
by your side
i'll be there tomorrow
i'll be there tonight
i'll be by your side
by your side
i can't wait to hold you
i can't wait to hold you
to be by your side
by your side
i'll be by your side
wrap my arms around you
wrap my arms around you
i am by your side
by your side
cuddled up watching netflix
cuddled up watching netflix
i am by your side
by your side
i won't say goodbye yet
i won't say goodnight
i'm still by your side
by your side
