Can’t you see that this is it?
Can’t you feel this magic?
I’ve seen these stars align before it seems
I’ve seen all this unfolding in a dream
I heard a new voice this mornin’ and it said
This is the next big thing so start actin’ like it
It joined the chorus from before
One voice sayin’ I’m not worth it, the other sayin’ I want more
Can’t you see that this is it?
Can’t you feel this magic?
I’ve seen these stars align before it seems
I’ve seen all this unfolding in a dream
I’m tryin’ to believe
In what the people all around us say they see
It’s fallen from our fingers and mouths
We’ve got a golden ticket now
Can’t you see that this is it?
Can’t you feel this magic?
I’ve seen these stars align before it seems
I’ve seen all this unfolding in a dream
Hidin’ in the quiet corners of Virginia makin’ plans
Hidin’ in the quiet corners of Virginia while we can

Little House

Lookin’ for another place to rest my head
A room with a corner for my grandfather’s bed
So quiet in the night that I could sleep like the dead
A home to hide from the world when I’ve had enough of it
And in the passin’ of another twelve moons
Know I’m gonna have to move
Another year, another man, another moon
This year movin’ time came soon
Know that I have to leave
The dead are pushin’ me
The livin’ won’t let me be
Oh god, what I need is
A little house
Where I won’t be found
On the outskirts
Of an old-fashioned town
A little piece of land
With no neighbors around
So when I need to cry or sing or make love
Nobody will hear a sound
Lookin’ for another place to rest my head
Just room with a corner for my grandfather’s bed
So quiet in the night that I could sleep like the dead
A home to hide from the world when I’ve had enough of it
And in the passin’ of another twelve moons
I don’t wanna have to move
Another year, another man, another moon
This year movin’ time came soon
I know that I have to leave
The dead are pushin’ me
The livin’ won’t let me be
Oh god, what I need is
A little house
Where I won’t be found
On the outskirts
Of an old-fashioned town
A little piece of land
With no neighbors around
So when I need to cry or sing or make love
Nobody will hear a sound

Here Right Now

If you're here right now
I know it ain't workin' out
If you feel like I feel
Honey, I know it ain't real
You're just hangin' on
Like some people do
To somethin' that you know
And someone that you knew
You spent a lot of years
Learnin' how to love
Now you're facin' the fear
That you learned she ain't what you want
Has your guilt
Become a gilded cage?
Will you stay there waitin'
While the real thing slips away
Honey, I hate to say
It seems obvious to me
The past gets in the way
Of possibilities
I'm not claimin' to know
Everything goin' on
I know I won't wait
If this is gonna linger on
If you're here right now
I know it ain't workin' out
If you feel like I feel
Honey, I know it ain't real
You're just hangin' on
Like some people do
To somethin' that you know
And someone that you knew

Sorry that your boyfriend looks at me
But it isn’t my responsibility
To try to myself ugly
So that your man can stay lookin’ at you
Sorry that your boyfriend talks to me
I can’t help it that I’m interesting
I didn’t even know you were a thing
Because your man said nothin’ about you
You love him - I get that
Don’t want to lose him, but you’re real mad
You don’t know me so it’s easy
To take your anger and turn it into jealousy
But I won’t be the scapegoat
Yeah, I won’t be your scapegoat
Sorry that your boyfriend wants to leave
But you shouldn’t blame that shit on me
When he told me the truth about you
I asked your man what the fuck was he doin’
You love him - I get that
Don’t want to lose him, but you’re real mad
You don’t know me so it’s easy
To take your anger and turn it into jealousy
But I won’t be the scapegoat
Yeah, I won’t be the scapegoat
Yeah, I won’t be the scapegoat
I won’t be your scapegoat
I told your man that we could just be friends
I’m not gonna waste my time on someone else’s boyfriend
I told your man that we could just be friends
That if you two were in love, he should go patch it up
I’m not gonna waste my time on someone else’s boyfriend
You love him - I get that
Don’t want to lose him, but you’re real mad
You don’t know me so it’s easy
To take your anger and turn it into jealousy
But I won’t be your scapegoat
Yeah, I won’t be your scapegoat
I won’t be your scapegoat
I won’t be your scapegoat

I fell apart in San Francisco
Lost in the fog on the Golden Gate Bridge
Now all I want is to be home
But I got another couple weeks of this
I built a fortress in Virginia
With the Rappahannock River surroundin’
It’s sittin’ empty now without me
I’m sittin’ in some hotel in Silicon Valley
It can’t always be all good
But it’s okay
Nothin’ makes you miss your neck of the woods
Like the highway
I was lookin’ for a sign in Hollywood
Some revelation written in the stars
There before us in the shadows
Were two coyotes standin’ in the Boulevard
It can’t always be all good
But it’s okay
Nothin’ makes you miss your neck of the woods
Like the highway
I put myself back together in Santa Fe
Now I don’t even want to go home - I wanna stay
Here’s to Arizona and New Mexico
For wakin’ up my sleepin’ soul
It can’t always be all good
But it’s okay
Nothin’ makes you miss your neck of the woods
Like the highway

If You Wanna Stay
03:45

I don’t need a savior or a crystal in my pocket
Save your breath for breathin’ instead wasted thoughts and prayers
For two dollars a minute, I could pay a therapist to spin it
But that’s just too expensive so this is my cross to bear
I’m rotten on the inside, but I look fine on the outside
I push ‘em all away so they don’t see decay
But it’s bleedin’ through the surface
I get angry when I’m nervous
No one gets to stay until I’m feelin’ okay
No one gets to stay until I’m feelin’ okay
No one gets to stay until I’m feelin’ okay
If you wanna make it better, well I’ll tell you what to do
Open up your mind a bit, make a little room
You’re never gonna get it and I don’t expect ya to
I’m carryin’ a lot here and need space to make it through
Yeah, I know how to do this - I been doin’ it for a while
I been livin’ with the darkness since I was just a child
The dark ain’t gonna go away just ‘cause we want it to
But in the darkness of the night, there are the stars and moon
Nothin’ on the outside is gonna fix what’s on the inside
So if you’re gonna stay, you’re gonna see me break
Sometimes when I’m broken I don’t mean the words I’ve spoken
Or the things I do - to separate the two
Will take a bit of work, but I know that I am worth it
If you wanna stay until I’m feelin’ okay
If you wanna stay until I’m feelin’ okay
If you wanna stay until I’m feelin’ okay
If you wanna stay until I’m feelin’ okay
If you wanna stay until I’m feelin’ okay

Maddi Mae Remington, Virginia
hi, this is a museum of a lot of the music i've made - the good and the bad.
my new song "die
today" is totally different from the collection of songs i released in 2020. it's born out of just making music that felt good to me after hours at my music school/studio (sound house).
if you like the song, tell me about it please.
