ALL I"VE GOT Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1967, 2021

All I've got, I'd give to you If you will love me All I've got, if you'll be true I'd give to you, my dear

All I've got, I'll give to you Won't you please be mine All I've got, won't you be true And love me all the time

Yes, everything that I possess I'd gladly give to you If you say that you love me And never make me blue

All I've got would soon be yours If you'd come to me All I've got, I would be yours Just take me and see

Yes, everything that I possess I'd gladly give to you If you say that you love me And never make me blue

"Sunlight", first song on my 'Six Songs' EP. Lyrics: Sunlight, sunlight Now burns to me Like moonlight Once did In my old life When I knew How to imbibe The heady pleasures Of darkest night Dappled fingers Gently steal my memory Of the dark But beauty And grace Are not unique to the light Are you justified? Sunlight, sunlight You create Many penumbras But few crisp lines And I know That too much of you Could take my sight And rot my mind Sunlight, sunlight I'll be wary of you Till the fall of night Sunlight, sunlight I'll be wary of you Till the fall of night

Second song on my "Six Songs" EP. Lyrics: Late night fire Takes a hold of me Violent murder Ends silently Comes to me As a nightmare Made from deepest fears Speaks to me In a tremolo Forced through desperate tears Late night fire Takes a hold of me Violent murder Ends silently Holds me down Breathless In my memory Shows to me My true heart Without sympathy Late night fire Takes a hold of me

Third song on my "Six Songs" EP. Lyrics: Wading through The memories Of that time You were beautiful Fixated on The tragedies Of my life I was difficult And baby was Your only name I didn't know you at all And baby is Your only name I don't know you at all Wasting all My precious time Trying to put things right Wishing you'd still want me Fading into The starry night I knew then What it meant to be lonely And baby was Your only name I didn't know you at all And baby is Your only name I don't know you at all

A demo of a new song. This is the most dissonant, repetitive and generally abrasive song I have written so far. Enjoy!

I’m playing support for Oldseed at Badstraße 8 in Fürth on 18/4/2015. I also had the pleasure of making the poster for the gig. If you happen to be in the area come check it out!

Here’s a little live video of me performing at Badstraße 8 last week.

Second in what I plan to be a series of “map videos.” This is a tectonic map of the earth produced for the German school system in the 70′s. I see a strong correlation between maps and songs ... both take the infinite chaos of the world and shape it into something comfortingly comprehensible. Thousands of kilometres of rugged coastline represented with a simple line; an extended period of intense emotion reflected in a few minutes of organised sound. A map or a song can only ever be a shadow of the complex beauty that inspired their creation, but under the right circumstances they can shape a new reality with its own intrinsic beauty. A beauty that speaks authentically about the nature of human experience while being happily one step removed from the sometimes remorseless brutality of its crude state.

Song of the day : Aug. 14th

Jubilee - Jean Ritchie

I discovered her songs through the wonderful covers of @/gabriellehopemusic on tt, I also recommend listening to Black is the Color, Cedar Swamp and With Kitty I'll Go !

I was commissioned to make a linocut logo for an LGBTQ2IA+ scholarship for traditional musicians and dancers looking to attend the Earful of Fiddle Music and Dance Camp! Here's the final results.

I've been working on a couple songs lately! I've wanted to write a folk album about being trans and growing up queer for awhile, and I've finally actually made progress on it. It's heavily inspired by older Mountain Goats songs and Iris Balinsky, I'm very excited to finish it up!

I finished my album cover :]

Finally writing my own music! Would love feedback :]

In love with @sinkhole-joanne for making this art of my (soon to be) album cover! (We also may or may not he working on something together)

This is gonna be a song title soon. Idk what I'll write the song as, but it'll happen

I suffered through the horrors of life and all I got was this lousy gender identity

Strange beings of Tumblr, help me decide on this.

I've been writing my own music (acoustic and vocals only rn) and I wanna record it but I'm stuck between recording it cleaner in separate tracks of recording it all together. On one hand, the cleanness would be nice, but on the other I like a lot of songs that just do raw recordings and a lot of the sound inspiration is from that style.

Ultimately imma do what I like, but persuasion could be nice

AAAAAAAAA

posted my first thing on soundcloud! its a pretty rough take and not played very well, but its something. maybe this is my way of screaming into the void

does anyone have that audio post of a big crowd all singing “no children” by the mountain goats together? it’s been living in my mind as such a raw and beautifully human moment and i REALLY need it
