Celebrating the summer, a new group of lyrics is now online. Containing six titles, 18 is out in the world. Be sure to read everything on the official lyrics page, including some background on how it all came to be. Serving as somewhat of a prologue to my next (and longer) group of lyrics, … Read more
As the first taste of 18, The Optimists (along with some accompanying lyrics) sets the stage for tales of a summer long ago. While that introduction makes me sound ancient, these three things are about summer 2001. The Optimists itself is a part of the upcoming group 18 while the others were originally planned … Read more
Things have been getting written. I’ve finished the first draft of a new group of lyrics. They’ll be refined over time, but the pieces that will be part of this grouping are now locked in at least. When it was being developed as something that would have smaller chunks released seasonally, I’d tentatively called … Read more
It’s time for another pinned post, so you know shit is getting real… again! After much coding and testing, Bloodhounds era lyrics have finally been added to the Fireteddy National Library. This marks the biggest addition of unreleased lyrics to that section of the site, finishing off the previously unreleased content I’ve written (and … Read more
Well, you know that shit’s getting real when there’s a new pinned post on the main page. I’m just checking in to let everyone know that the Fireteddy National Library has been updated! It’s a bit earlier than anticipated, but a bunch of Synesthesia era lyrics (opens in new tab) have been added to … Read more

Besides spending a disturbing amount of time writing (and editing) my feedback for a Marvel Cinematic Universe podcast, I’ve done almost nothing since November. While originally thinking it was just laziness, I’m now pretty … Read more
So there have been a few developments since my last post. A couple of weeks ago, I came up with three separate lyric snippets. None of them have really been developed into a fully fleshed out thing I can add to a grouping, but they all show some promise. Working titles for the three … Read more
How many variations can I make on the phrase “back in black?” I think we’ll soon find out! Been working up a new idea with Black Squirrel over the past couple of days. In working on the lyrics earlier this week, I came up with a different verse melody that I’m now attempting to … Read more
After working on Stranger Days so much recently, I was happy to explore a new idea tonight. Came up with a random couple of lines this evening. Upon hashing them out a bit in my head, I also tried Frankensteining them with Black Squirrel’s chorus and pre-choruses. For those who are unaware, Black Squirrel … Read more
Another (strange) day, another approach on Stranger Days itself. Decided to tackle Stranger Days while I found myself with some spare time tonight. Reconstructed the first part of the bridge so it would pack more of an emotional punch hopefully. It’s now the third official draft as a result though. I’ll let this sit … Read more
