RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK ELEVEN
Skeleton Keys was an album that started as what I like to call a "charity challenge." 12 friends gave some money to their charity of choice, in exchange for me turning their prompts into quirky, indie rock songs. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/skelet...
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK TEN
My album Write On! was written in a time where I was involved in songwriting workshops and reading books about the craft. It's 30 short songs to aid in the inspiration and perspiration of writing. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/write-...
My painting TIDAL WETLANDS
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK NINE
I spent a week or two in 2020, writing Christmas songs on the piano and then went into my home studio and added fun sounds, like jingle bells, and hand drums, and the like. #christmassongs #originalmusic gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/christ...
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK EIGHT
I wrote 22 Love Songs using #vss365 writing prompts to come up with songs about love and relationship, a sort of imaginative look into what I've experienced and what I would want out of a partner. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/22-lov...

RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK SEVEN
Enlisted my friend Justin again for beats over seven poems that had to do with the theme, "fun." Did some singing, too. #originalpoems #beatswithwords gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/fun
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK SIX
An album of Rumi poems that I turned into original songs to celebrate a spiritually non-traditional friend's marriage. Utilizes Rumi's transcendent way with words, aided along by piano, guitar, and a melodic voice.

RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK FIVE
I met Shelly on Twitter. After chatting some, we decided to attempt an album together: my music, her words. I like how it turned out! Dark & light, happy & sad. #originalmusic #perfectcollaboration gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/these-...
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK FOUR!
While I worked at Jimmy Johns in Columbia, there was a young man, Justin, who made some pretty dope beats in his free time. I wrote poems about colors, kind of a "synethesia" sort of thing, and recorded them over his cool beats. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/color-...
RE-RELEASE PARTY: WEEK THREE
One of my favorites of all I've recorded, there is an indie sweetness and lyrical playfulness to the tracks on my album What Grows Us: my second solo album ever! Half an hour play time, and fourteen songs. gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/what-g...
Did you feel my heart?
It was #heartfelt
Indentations on the floor
From where I knelt
Does God have a basket
With all of our prayers?
In this world
Where we’re overlooked
And life’s not always fair
Does he see our minds?
All that’s selfish and unkind?
All that’s gracious and hopeful?
#vss365
The world is really #wonky
Right now
The singer in the honky tonk
Starts to howl
What would we do
W/out warbly music
To mirror our
Drowning souls?
What would we do
W/out hammering piano
To fill in the
Bullet holes?
The world is really wonky
Right now
The singer in the honky tonk
Starts to howl
Some think they’re so good
They must be
#Unmissable
Some feel they’re so bad
They must be
Unkissable
Sometimes I feel either way
But my soda pop
heart’s not
Unfizzable
#vss365
RE-RELEASE PARTY: SECOND WEEK
A marriage of underground hip hop and lo-fi indie rock, this album that I made with Jason Corrigan is the first album I created post-college #originalmusic #rereleases gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/hip-ho...
He wants you always #spooked
He doesn’t want you loved
He wants to keep your thoughts
From rising up above
The hell you’re living in
Scary headlines on the news
Caught up in a web of lies
Never knowing truth
He wants you all the time
Haggard beat and worn
He thinks the human heart…
#vss365
You might call me an #oddball
I spin a little wobbly
But I guess that’s what comes
With living honestly
The earth’s axis is tilted
I’m a little skewed
But I always try
To have a good attitude
#vss365
I’m not #clueless
Life’s got its teeth
But I think my strength
Comes from being weak
Kindness is a power
In the face of the ferocious
Life’s plod of progress
Comes from being devoted
Living my way
In the upside down kingdom
There are so many captives
Maybe my words will free em
#vss365
Can’t stare straight at it…
Or I would be blinded!
When I try to look for it
Well, I can’t find it
It seems the universe
Is trying to hide it
#Abstraction!
Is my only hope!
I’m hanging on
The end of my rope
Just a little twist
And I can cope
Abstraction!
#vss365
To light my candle
To #delight in how I handle
The weight of the day
The color and the gray
The way that all the geese say
The sky is worth a song
Honk and honk along
How joy can lead us on
I want to be a goose
In your sky
I hope that somehow
Together we can fly
With delight
All day long
#vss365
Gonna re-release all twenty something albums I've written over the course of the first couple of months of 2026. Here's where it all started, with my St. Mary's Project. Enjoy! gregwa8.bandcamp.com/album/seven-...
Mr Sandman
Give me a dream…
Fill my sleeping thoughts
With the music of the spheres
Take these sour night visions
Concocted from my fears
And substitute them with
Legends, lore, and love
My days are pretty pleasant
But my dreams are never fun
#vss365
Sold my soul
Barefoot #soles
I’ve been solo
Long enough
Unloose my tongue
Climb the rungs
Have some fun
Now my heart’s tough
But not too tough
Experience wins us depth
Life salts us with the
Seasoning of death
I hope we get some time
Together
I don’t know about
Forever
#vss365
There’s really no escape
What are we gonna do
On #Mars?
How can we handle
Spaceships?
When we’re down here
Crashing cars
The body is decaying
It is a feast for worms
We have a cross to bear
But the flesh just
Squirms and squirms
And squirms
#vss365
A water sign
My heart awash
In emotions
Your fire
My feelings
But do I know how
To follow through?
Your #air
Breathes beauty
The earth is set ablaze
For a century
I guess
I just wanted to say
I’m really glad
I met you
#vss365
