about

Thorn is about a relationship that’s one-sided. There are painful consequences to that kind of dynamic...
I recorded the piano, and synth at Jeremy Goody’s Megasonic Sound in Oakland, CA. I sang the lead at Ben Leinbach’s Old Bull Studios in San Anselmo, CA. Ben edited, mixed, and mastered the track.

lyrics

Thorn

You were like a rose
Meant to be admired
I was like a thorn
Lost amongst the briar
When you even saw me
It wasn’t to adore
I learned to play my part as a thorn

Most of what I did made you
Critical and harsh
If I couldn’t serve you
I wasn’t in your heart
A prickly irritation
From the day that I was born
And fastened to your side like a thorn

And the sun shone on your face
Your shadow was my place
I tried to be a flower
But the petals wouldn’t form
I surrendered to my life as a thorn

I tried to be a flower
But the petals wouldn’t form
I surrendered to my life as a thorn

You were like a rose
