The Writer's Closet is what any closet is... a place to store things. In this case we're talking about storing songs. Part of being a songwriter is allowing yourself room to grow and to experiment. Not every song you write will end up on your next recording. The Writer's Closet is an effort to provide some stretching room and to express the thoughts and emotions that may not fit into a certain genre or sound category.
Each month I'll add a demo of a song I've been working on. These are rough drafts at best, and instead of being recorded in a professional studio, they are often recorded in my bedroom on my laptop (because its comfortable). I throw them out there to get a reaction and help me to develop as a songwriter.
Feel free to DOWNLOAD these songs as often as you like - it won't ever cost you a dime. All I ask is that you leave a comment and let me know what you think. It could end up on a future project. Just click the "download" link in the player. Give it a spin, Share it with a friend.

"Tomorrow."
I heard the word, but it just didn't compute.
"Tomorrow." He said it again.
I guess my face showed that my brain was not processing, so I added an "Uh-huh," to my blank stare. I could not remember what the word meant. We had been waiting for so …

Wow David. These are great! Every song has such a different sound and they have such an honesty to them that you don't hear in most songs. I could definitely see Baby, There's Still Me, This was the Worst, and Diamond Ring on an album some day - those are my favorites.
