We wrote a song about those peaceful moments that catch us by surprise. Often these moments of pause will provide all kinds of therapy to the soul, whether it be inspiration or simple clarity. We believe the end product we created is something beautiful and perfect listening for those moments between moments that we are all blessed to find on occas…

We love teachers! They are super important and we've all had a number of professors who made a lifelong impact on us. However, this isn't always the case. In this episode, we talk about some of our experiences growing up as well as some of the current shortcomings of the modern education system. In the end, with limited time, we wrote a fun song wi…

After two months of not being able to meet together, we finally returned to the studio! Would we do a song about the quarantine? The angst of being socially distanced? A "Call to Arms" type song? Well, Justin is a pretty big fan of metal and after tip toeing through our options, we landed on something that we knew would be a lot of fun! In this epi…

With all of the frustrating things happening in our world right now, we started this track with the simple mindset of writing a very relaxed, 'chill vibes' song. The month of May, when this track was written, also happened to be 'Birthday Month' for Dirk and Justin, so we played around with the idea of writing a new birthday song... but with deeper…

In this episode, we begin with the idea of writing another song that is similar to our "Be Kind" track, but it quickly became apparent that if we were going to write a song about 'knowing your worth' that it would have to include something about our Christian Faith. Quickly, our songwriting changes gears from writing a fun children's song, into wri…

Jillian once stated that if she had her own specific genre of music, it would be called "Melancholy Corny." Whatever that means, is up to you to decipher. Listen in on our fun writing session where our simplistic idea for a song about 'life-enhancing quick fixes' transforms into a much more serious song about soldiering through the triathlon of lif…

"Hey, I have to tell you something!" Your friend says. "Oh really? What is it?" you answer. "Nevermind, I'll tell you later!" Your friend responds. "No, really, what is it?" You begin to sweat. "Nah, I'll just tell you later." Your friend is intent on torturing you. "TELL ME!" Sometimes, your well meaning friend can quickly turn into your greatest …

At the end of January 2004, the Opportunity Lander descended onto Mars for what was supposed to be a short mission. However, the NASA Rover ended up surviving on the Red Planet for 15 years! After so much time, the scientists and much of the world became attached to their resilient buddy, giving her the nickame, "Oppy." In June of 2018, after a sev…

You may have seen the poster in our intro video... or you may have missed it. Hidden in the background of our garage set was the poster emblazoned with the words "Kazoos are for Lovers!" In our early meetings, when we discussed what kinds of art and props should populate our cartoon world, we joked about having posters for random things that didn't…

There's a good chance that you've been watching a lot of movies lately, perhaps even a few Dis...n... I mean animated feature films. In this episode, we set out to write our own Dis... n... animated feature film style song! Along the way, we sketch out a rough outline for the scene where this song would be sung, which involves our pets: Booter, Ash…

We started with the relate-able idea of losing something valuable because of a dumb thing like a computer crashing, and then as per usual, the idea for the song evolved into something much deeper. Whether it be a 6-year friendship, a serious relationship, or a 12-year career path, we each had something we had invested ourselves into simply whither …

In this episode, in addition to writing a song, we write an entire movie! Okay, maybe not an entire movie, but we definitely hit on a lot of plot points for our new James Bond flick, Solar Wind! Using details from our appropriately ridiculous movie idea, we write a title sequence song that just might get us an actual movie deal!…

We wanted to write a song that captured the feeling of what it's like to take a step outside the chaos of seasonal gatherings, and I believe we accomplished exactly that! Jillian came into the session, prepared with a single line, and a loose idea of what chords she wanted to play, and the end result was something very special. We think this might …

All three of us have experience working with children. Justin is a School Bus Driver, Jillian is a Paraprofessional for students with Special Needs, and Dirk volunteered as a High School small group leader for many years. This week we asked ourselves, what is one of the most important things we could write a song about? Justin was quick to answer, …

Gather round little Ghostlings, take heed and listen to me! Our tale begins on Hallow's Eve, the haunting tale of Gloomy! It was a week before Halloween when we recorded this Podcast, so we wrote a song about a special little ghost named Gloomy, a ghost with social anxiety. We think it turned out pretty well.…

Sometimes it’s a silly song sort of day. Jillian recently taught her students all about alliteration, which was the inspiration for this week’s song. What a wonderfully, wacky, and wonky way to write! Will it be a masterpiece? Or... Will it end up really bad? Either way, Justin definitely loves this song the most.…

In this episode we discuss personality tests, a contrarian equestrian, and write a song about Signs! We are all pretty excited for you to check it out! Now available on all the major streaming networks!

Here it is, the theme song for all future episodes! Justin started fiddling on the melodica and then we combined the simple tune with the overall vision of the podcast. With just one microphone between the three of us, we started our journey into writing a new song every week! It didn’t take long for us to realize that we were onto something specia…

“It’s not a phase, Mom!” shrieked the angsty teenager. In this premiere episode of our podcast, we discuss the phases of our youth and eventually wind up writing a song.
