I have been conceptualizing this collection of songs for a long time. The 5 songs are saturated in the poetry, melancholy, sensuality, and atmosphere of all that is the mood of Romance.

Happiness & I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
My mother asked me to write a happy song
I tried my best, but it came out wrong...
In between studio recordings, I'll be sharing some songs I'm tracking on my own. Here are 2 songs I think fit well together.
"Happiness" and a simple shot at the Hank Williams Sr. classic "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
Check out the Youtube links below with lyrics in the expanded title area.
I'm not much of an engineer or producer, but kind of feel these honest, messy recordings suit these songs well. Thanks for listening and sharing with others.
"Happiness"
"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
Songs are also up on Bandcamp right now:
and will hit other platforms soon-ish.

BURY ME IN CALIFORNIA
"BURY ME IN CALIFORNIA" is the second professionally produced song from BLOOD NEBRASKA.
now available via online platforms like Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, etc.
Listen here
bury me in California
bury me beneath my debts
I gave it all to be an artist
then forgotten when I'm dead
mm hmm
spread my ashes across the country
from Minnesota to New Mexico
born in Nebraska, lived in Colorado
none of them I call my own
mm hmm
I gave it all to the love of my life
and she gave me my soul
at times a harsh and demanding wife
who'll lay me to rest in my home
bury me here in L.A.
where everyone means what they say
how your friends can't wait to see you
unless they're busy on that day
mm hmm
I once hoped for fame and fortune
have my ego stroked like the rest
but I'll die obscure in isolation
with my principles around my neck
mm hmm
I gave it all to the love of my life
and she gave me my soul
found me in the darkest of nights
and I'll never walk one more day alone
bury me in California
where my widow will love again

BADLANDS
Here is the first 'official' release from BLOOD NEBRASKA.
"BADLANDS" was produced by Lucas Bakker
drums provided by David Adams
Now available on all online platforms
driving forever, through nowhere
searching for friendly faces, but the future's clear
lost on an empty highway, where I can disappear
no one will know I'm gone for at least another year
mm mm in the Badlands
mm mm in the Badlands
where nothing survives
walking for miles, toward the setting sun
I'd steal me some gasoline if I had a gun
set fire to my car, and watch it burn
if only I'd asked her to dance, but I... I never learn
mm mm in the Badlands
mm mm in the Badlands
where nothing survives
I don't want no fun
I only want to share this desolation with someone
lost in the badlands, where I could disappear
weeping to an empty sky, oh God...
send someone here

STOLEN CAR
This is one of my favorite songs from Bruce Springsteen. I wanted to record my own version of it.
"Stolen Car"
I met a little girl and I settled down
In a little house out on the edge of town
We got married, and swore we'd never part
Then little by little we drifted from each other's heart
At first I thought it was just restlessness
That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep
In the end it was something more I guess
That tore us apart and made us weep
I'm driving a stolen car
Down on Eldridge Avenue
Each night I wait to get caught
But I never do
She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote
When our love was young and bold
She said last night she read those letters
And they made her feel one hundred years old
And I'm driving a stolen car
On a pitch black night
And I'm telling myself
I'm gonna be alright
But I ride by night
And I travel in fear
In this darkness I will disappear
BOOK OF LOVE
a home recording of "Book of Love" by The Magnetic Fields
lyrics:
The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures
And instructions for dancing
[Chorus]
But I, I love it when you read to me
And you, you can read me anything
[Verse 2]
The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
[Chorus]
But I, I love it when you sing to me
And you, you can sing me anything
[Verse 3]
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know
[Chorus]
But I, I love it when you give me things
And you, you ought to give me wedding rings
But I, I love it when you read to me
And you, you can read me anything
