Empty Pockets for Full Sails
Tim KochA lot of this song was inspired by a Rainer Maria Rilke poem. I believe it is the first time I swear in a song.

Considerations for Bed Making Pts. I - IV
Tim KochThis whole batch of songs is different in that we recorded in the library instead of the basement, and uses a lot more of the stuff that pro tools allows you to do when recording music. the noise in the beginning is because the first track on the album will have alex muro singing along to an ice cream truck, which will then go into this song.

Dutchesses Daughter
Tim KochThis song is about one person and everyone at the same time. Its for one person and everyone at the same, and is hopeful and disheartening as the same time as well.

Jeux-Partis (A Dispute)
Tim KochThis is an angry tim song, and one of the few and far between un-instrumented pieces. its necessary sometimes to strip down all the doo-dadds and just get the point across, and evade the lure of the calling trombone, and trumpet, and accordion, and saw, etc. its about pretentiousness, and how i feel that i am more elitist than i would myself like to be.

The Shepardess
Tim KochThis is a love song to an imaginary shepardess who gets left behind, but a figament of her rides everywhere on his shoulder.

A Lament
Tim Koch & Dave HaeselinI kept this song to myself until it was basically done and needed dan's instrumentation to complete it. And although its for the troubadour album and in a sense is based on the fictional story which the album will be, its still quite intimidating knowing that you, the listener, may listen to it because it is quite personal and was a shockingly revealing song to write.

Golden Maidens and the Art of Being Lost
Tim KochThis is a song of debate and making decisions. Its from a new album im working on, being a courtly performance of a wandering troubadour, so its also in the medival style of poetry known as a kyrielle. Its a song of debate in the context of the story he tells throughout the whole performance/album.
