Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
'Ruth' was originally written and performed for a Creative Arts camp I was leading at Bluestone Camp in West Virginia in 2003. On May 21 2006 the youth group at Beckley Presbyterian Church, WV, did their own version of the play.
Lyrics
Could she love somebody like me? Ive been watching her from a distance, I couldnt help but notice her. But she and I, well, were so different, I just dont think I should go there! Cant get her out of my mind, You know how it is, love can be so blind, The way the land lies, I dont see How she could love somebody like me. Ive been watching him from a distance, I couldnt help but notice him, But he and I, well, were so different, His heart I could never win. Cant get him out of mind, Doing what I can just to stay alive The way the land lies, I dont see How he could love somebody like me. Chorus Could it be fate, Could it be chance? Love can lead us a merry old dance, Are we victims of vain imagination? Is what we feel just infatuation, Oh divine comedy. Be my destiny. Oh why, Oh why, Does it have to be this way We try, we try To make it through the day Then love comes by Changes life around Points us to the sky Then, throws us to the ground. Chorus Boaz-Ive been watching her from a distance I couldnt help but notice her Ruth-But he and I well were so different His heart I could never win Cant get him out of my mind Boaz-You know how it is love can be so blind Both-The way the land lies I dont see How you could love somebody like me. The Shoe Dance In some lands you would sign a covenant In other places it takes an act of government Some places throw salt over their shoulder Here it takes a shoe to bring foreclosure. Chorus In this land its what you have to do You take off your shoe Then its through In this land its what you have to do You take off your shoe Then it is through Lets say you were after alimony Or in this case proposing matrimony In order to seal your act of pairing You take off the shoes you are wearing Chorus When it comes to property Or matters of inheritance Declaring a state of bankruptcy Or of making recompen
