I know it’s December 3rd but my November was just a few days longer this year. It seems so fitting for 2020. I got myself sick (nothing serious) but was out of commission for a few days after Thanksgiving. I really wanted to make sure I got all 30 songs submitted so Thank you for your patience this month.
Thank you x a million to Lily DeTaeye who developed this challenge and encouraged me to join along. This challenge has been so incredible for many reasons and I feel a definitive change from it. It’s indescribable and I enjoyed every second of it.
A special Thank You to Adam Thomas Davis and my big sister Amanda Flaig Marko. Without their help along the way I don’t think I could have made it.
Thank you to all my family and friends who followed and supported the process all month. Your interest means the world to me.
#newsongnovember
Is a one month challenge to write and share a new song everyday during November. My friend Lily DeTaeye came up with idea and this is her fourth year doing it. So please make sure you follow Lily as well. It seemed like a great exercise and I’m so excited to share it.

lyrics
-Last Song-
Well they’ll try to sum it up in a eulogy
Boasting photos of happy memories
‘When you’ve had enough of the florid stories
Remember me in a melody
Because if it’s not forgiven it’s not forgotten
And I don’t want to leave behind
An open tab of all my problems for someone else to find
So if they make last call before all
My ducks are in a row
Please be gentle, mildly confidential
I did my best, you know
If I can’t be there to say Hello
Play my song on the stereo
And if you can’t afford the ticket home
Hum my song so you don’t feel so alone
Because if it’s not forgiven it’s not forgotten
And I don’t want to leave behind
An open tab of all my problems for someone else to find
So if they make last call before all
My ducks are in a row
Please be gentle, mildly confidential
I did my best, you know...
