MY DEBUT ALBUM >>>>> "Never Gonna Have a Real Career" is ten polished pop/rock refrains recorded entirely by oh, that lonely Patrick in his bedroom, doing all the singing and playing all the instruments. LISTEN TO THEM or DOWNLOAD THEM below (to download, right click on the title and pick "Save Link As") |
 |
1. Dog After Tail
DEDICATED TO: Abraham Lincoln's dog, Slavy. FUN FACT: Originally just a song about being too scared to hit on a girl, the lyrics got broadened to encompass the meaning of life (of which hitting on girls is only a part) |
 |
6. Making It Up As I Go
Along
DEDICATED TO: all you "undeclared" majors FUN FACT: This song was written/recorded in an attempt to replace Ben Kweller's "Penny on a Train Track" for a heretofore unreleased movie. |
|---|---|---|---|

2. Visit Me In A Dream
DEDICATED TO: Nyquil and Kleenex FUN FACT: I was once visited in a dream by Steve Gutenberg. He borrowed about thirty dream dollars from me that he has YET to repay. |
 |
7. Reductionism
DEDICATED TO: Univ. of MD Philosophy Dept. FUN FACT: This diddy's all about the "Mind-Body Problem". You know a track is destined to be the life of the party when the fourth word you hear is "axiom". |
 |
3. Stubborn Irish Soul
DEDICATED TO: The lawyers in my life FUN FACT: This song's about what a rough boyfriend I turn out to be. Can you imagine how many snooze cycles I must put people through in the morning? Gosh, I'm stubborn. I just won't wake up! |
 |
8. When You're In Love
DEDICATED TO: The Mississippi Delta FUN FACT: The original name and direction of this song was "When You're in a Coma", but it seemed too wordy. Most of the old lyrics remain; just switch every mention of 'love' to 'coma'. |
 |
4. Next Train Outta Town
DEDICATED TO: The novel "Atlas Shrugged" FUN FACT: The verses/bridge are sung from the point of view of my ex-girlfriend, while the chorus is from my POV. Both of us moved to California so the idea of leaving town turned out to be a bit moot. |
 |
9. Freeze Time
DEDICATED TO: Zack Morris FUN FACT: Aging sucks rocks. 18-35 is gold! My favorite part of this song is telling God He did a "bang up job" with some of His early work. |
 |
5. A Melancholy Song
DEDICATED TO: Everyone's first heartbreak FUN FACT: At first, I didn't know what facet of a breakup I wanted to focus on, but "A Catastrophic Diarhhea Song" didn't have the same ring to it. |
 |
10. Never Gonna Have a
Real Career
DEDICATED TO: My unborn children FUN FACT: This song literally wrote itself in my head as I pedaled home from City Hall after picking up my street performer's license. |
