What is your song idea? *
i'm so glad you have this online form! i've been meaning to make a request.

recently i've been missing west philly. specifically west philly saturdays in the summer that involve clark park, wandering around the neighborhood, porch sales (and finding stuff you sold at a porch sale 2 years ago). maybe hunting for the leftover cherries. and petting all the cats who live on hazel. (i don't miss the giant roaches on the sidewalk)

Describe your song in one word *
homesick

lyrics

you miss west philadelphia
and west philly misses you
clark park has grown lugubrious
and the cats here have all turned blue
the porch sale where you sold your stuff
is hoping that you'll move
back to west philadelphia
and come home soon

you miss west philadelphia
and west philly misses you
and all those cherries that you love
they're pits now and homesick for you
the giant roaches are doing fine
in fact their much improved

but the rest of west philadelphia
is depressed and homesick for you

That's That And The What's What

Friends and sometimes TWT collaborators set out to make a "classic rock" album but got lost along the way. Favorite Track: Aviator Shades. The Wiggly Tendrils

No. 1 - (Limited Edition Single)
by A Severe Joy

Ok, you have to buy their Limited Edition Single - Mono Plexi-discs. It's a series, so if it's sold out then check back. The music is amazing, and the packaging is top notch. I highly recommend it. The Wiggly Tendrils

Capitol Limited EP
by Deirdre and Conor / Kitchen Table, Illinois

Becky and Gabe back up their dear friends Conor and Deirdre Loughridge on three of their wonderful love songs; they return the favor on three of our weepy songs. We used a toy drum set! The Wiggly Tendrils
