i’m in love with illusions, so...

About Me

i write mostly sad songs. i think expressing sadness is as important as expressing happiness. my sadness comes out in songs (and sometimes happiness does too but it's usually pretty faded by the time i sit down to write about it). i just finished recording a new cd, titled "love and happiness...are not the same thing." if you would like one, let me know, if you are a musician and would like to do a trade, i would love that.
