“WELCOME TO CORK.CORE.
RUN is my attempt at refining
what I started five years ago -
marrying my songwriting roots
with my classical guitar
training.”

WELCOME TO CORK.CORE.RUN is a singer/songwriter recording, very well built if you don't mind listening to just a guitar and a vocal, catchy, songs crafted like rock tunes, rather diverse, and could be considered folky. It evokes the same sort of feeling as a '70s Nick Drake album except this recording is newer. It starts with an instrumental, continues with lighthearted tunes, gets more serious towards the middle, runs for about 40 minutes, and has a hankering to show you, very publicly, what rock, classical, country, jazz, flamenco, blues, bluegrass and folk influences sound like when packaged together as simple songs.

A Girl Named Wendy
There's a Whole Lot of Nothin' Goin' On
there's a whole lot of nothin' goin' on
a whole lot of nothin' goin' on
when I was raised
I wanted to be praised
I'm still waiting to see the light
what's the point of all the strife?
because I feel like there's nothin' goin' on
no one but your ego says I'm wrong
can't believe you'll cry
while you leave me alone to die
but I'm a whole lot better without you now
whole lot of nothin' goin' on
a whole lot of, uh, cryin' goin' on
I wanted to be alone
but I can't find the room
I'm a whole lot better off now than I was
letting you upset me every night
whole lot of nothin' goin' on
I'm waiting for my feelings to be wrong, to be wrong
I can only take it so many times
I'm a whole lot better now
a whole lot of nothin' goin' —
I said a whole
well I whole lot of nothin'
a whole lot of nothin' goin' on
I’m Never Alone When I Think of You
I'm traveling down the road, and I feel blue
the radio's broken and my phone is too
and the road goes on and on again
I'm never alone when I think of you
friendless, hopeless, and tired, I am marooned
I try to talk to myself but I don't get through
and a minute is a day without an end
I'm never alone when I think of you

I met a girl a girl named Wendy
now I can't be by myself
soon we were we were together
hiding away by ourselves
in a word her name is Wendy
together we'll be from now on
I met a girl a girl named Wendy
when she smiles there's nothing else
then one day we were married
lighter inside is what I felt
and now it's just me and Wendy
together we'll be from now on
This has been a song a song about Wendy
Another Day
as the sun comes up
I begin to wake
it's the start of another day
when it will end
why it began
won't affect my day
it's another day
it's another day
it's another
another
another
day
Peace of Mind
some days
I need a little time
a few kind words
to ease my troubled mind
so don't take it away
please don't take it away from me
'cause we all know
that sometimes
we need a little peace of mind
so what can we do
about finding some peace of mind
what can we do
about leaving no one behind
so when you see someone
it doesn't matter who
just a smile
is all you need to do
and we'll be on our way
to a better day
when we can all have a little peace of mind
It's Gonna Be All Right
there's a feeling that I'm holding
a kind of feeling you can hold on to
a kind of feeling that can't be broken
so I need a little room
I'm gonna find a way
to let it go
and once I calm down
it's gonna be all right
if you don't believe then you won't know
what your heart can be and see
which everybody knows
the burdens that haunt you so
so when you feel a little troubled thought all alone
left by itself will walk away
you can let it go
that's all you need to know
it's gonna be all right
Walk Together One More Time
ever since you went away
life's an enduring haze
because our hearts our hearts are still one
if we could walk together one more time
it seemed like it would never end
all the mornings when we were sleeping in
and I try I try to go on
if we could walk together one more time
some how
some way
we'll find each other on the other side
dancing hearts, peaceful minds
some how
some way
I swear, I swear I would give it all away
if we could just walk together one more time
We All Need Something to Believe
from the streets of New York
to the shores of Dublin
to the fields in Luzon
it seems to me
we all need something to believe
we all need something to believe
from the prayers in Garzón
to the fears in Milan
to the hopes in Tehran
it seems to me
we all need something to believe
we all need something to believe
something to call our own
something that says we belong
something that says we're not alone
something that feels like home
something to believe
we all need something to believe
we all need something to believe
Don't Give Up Now
when the days are short and dying
when the pressure's too much to bare
when all joy is hidden
don't give up now
it seems like the world's against you
you feel its misery in your veins
you've been beaten down to nothing
don't give up now
what's the point of anything?
if you've forgotten why you cared
don't give up now
don't give up now
don't give up now
The Grateful Song
I've got everything I could want
more than I'll ever need
I'm not cold sick or hungry
so I'm gonna try to be grateful
yes I'm gonna try
I'd like to thank my family
all my friends
and everyone who's ever been kind to me
as for the people I've mistreated
I'd like to say
please forgive me
I'm grateful for the sunshine
for every day and everything I've ever seen
so if I ever forget this feeling
if I ever forget this song
please help me remember
and I'll be grateful again
