This site journals the creation of an album based on Dave Eggers' short story collection, "How We Are Hungry." There are fifteen tracks, each based on a different story from the book. Once it has been completed and refined, the album is going to be sold in benefit of the non-profit organization, 826 National, an incredible project that Dave started using the profits of his own writings. The idea behind my project is to begin bridging the gap between songwriting and other creative media, to create something that pushes the potential of an album into the realms of cross-genre works, where both works build upon each other. Also, as I have already alluded, I want to use my art to help benefit those that foster creativity in others. I've seen a lot of really awesome philanthropic project arise lately, and I hope to be a part of furthering that mentality within artists.

Red Cord - The Frames

And I’m pulling on the red cord
That pulls you back to me Lord;
It helps me out
When you’re away.

When I was in the army
And they called you back to save me,
I was resting soft
In the arms of my war.

And I’m pulling on the red cord
That pulls you back to me Lord.
And I’m pulling on the red cord,
So you’re not so far away.

And I was at the uni…
The university of
Blind love and black poetry,
And it was there I found you.
And you were happy like an angel,
But for everything you learned,
There is something you must let go of.

And I’m pulling on the red cord
That pulls you back to me Lord.
And I’m pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord.

Pulls you back to me Lord. Yeah.
Pulls you back to me Lord. Yeah.
Pulls you back to me Lord. Yeah.
Pulls you back to me Lord. Yeah.
Alright now!
