I’ve been playing at Miami Art Works’ Second Saturday events, Miami, AZ. Here are a couple clips.

Until There’s Nothing – A Cheerful Little Song About Death
When you come I don't know If it will be Like a Mack Truck Hitting me From behind Or a termite Slowly eating away The inside Of my brain Until there's nothing Left to feel Or understand Or if you'll come Like some Medieval Torture machine Making me cry out For that final relief But don't want Anything left unsaid Or a table Covered with regrets Written on little cards To remind me Of all the things I should have done While I've been around And had my chances Chords: D, A, E Copyright 2021 Mark Hahn, All Rights Reserved.
Wherever the Compass Points – New Song
I needed to hear a “peace, love, and hope” song last night, so I wrote this. In its simplicity, I think it’s pretty beautiful.
Lyrics: Wherever the compass points We'll go there together Though the times maybe tough And we all have our own Bags to carry Crosses to bear And personal struggles But no matter how lost It seems we are We'll be right together Finding peace No matter how many storms Are raging Around us [repeat] Chords: G, D, A Copyright 2021 Mark Hahn, All Rights Reserved.
Don’t Say a Word
A new song that I’m working on.
Lyrics: I think I'm done Playing with guns and daggers And psychopathic explosions While calling it love Rimbaud and Verlaine Makes for such a touching story A case of pure romance Right on the edge of Hell But that ain't love And I don't need to keep on trying To live it, cuz' it’s More like, mutually agreed on Self harm and redemption And that ain't love Pleasure and punishment When in the end Keeps you looking In your rearview mirror When it's time to call it quits But I've looked over that edge Oh, too many times Over too many bridges And too many cliffs To know that jumping Ain't going to be the answer And I got too many things Bouncing around in my head To take on anymore From someone else So just hold me tight And don't say a word Copyright 2021 Mark Hahn, All Rights Reserved. Chords: C, F, Am and Dm
Comes To – Bedroom Performance of a New Song
Another bedroom performance… this time with my kitty (Winston) making a disinterested sleepy appearance.
Lyrics: Until this all Comes to an end I’ll love everything Good that I can find In every garden And every dustbin While I give you All my love Love’s a simple thing Yet so hard to find But I found it With you Yeah, love is a simple thing But so hard to find Letting go of the worries And the strength Found in aloneness But in the moments We share Is where we should be As time barrels on Until this all Comes to an end I’ll love everything Good that I can find In every garden And every dustbin While giving you All my love Chords: Dm, Am, Em Copyright 2021 Mark Hahn, All Rights Reserved
A Love Song for the Plague
Lyrics:
Whatever doesn’t kill you
Doesn’t kill you
But baby, whatever that is
I’ll be there for you
I’ve had so many
Brushes with the end
And I’m am still living through
Things I never expected
Don’t wish that on anyone
No matter who you are
Or what you’ve done
Or where you’ve been
Because, whatever
Doesn’t kill you, doesn’t kill you
Whatever that is
I’ll be there for you
Holding on
Only adds, to the
Vicious circle
Making things worse
So no matter who you are
Or what you’ve done
Or where you’ve been
I’ll be there with you

Silence – A New Song
A quick mix of a new song!
Lyrics:
When the night
Is so silent
And deafening
And I lie
On the bed
Looking
Through the ceiling
And imagine it
Crashing down
All around me
And soaring
Into the lost sky
Above
Not knowing
If there’s anyone
To hear my lips part
Before I speak
Or if I even know
What I would say
In this heavy moment
Would you close
My eyes
With your kisses
And assure me
That we’ll wake up
To a new day
Because the night
Is so silent
And deafening
While I lie on this bed
Looking through
The ceiling
Chords: Dm, Am, Em
Behind the Walls – Quick Recording Using My Pawn Shop Kay Mandolin
For my friends who wanted to hear what my new pawn shop Kay mandolin sounded like after re-stringing and tuning up, here is a rough recording of a new song using it. It does have a bit of folkie roots sound.
Baby
When you walked in
Behind my walls
Where the birds were singing
Trees all swaying
And you found me, alone
I never thought
It would be
So easy
To let myself go
Because, the farther I had gone
From the people
From my past
The harder it felt
To let someone else in
But here we are
Behind the walls
And so in love
And away
From everyone
That needed
To be pushed aside
Yeah, here we are
Behind the walls
And so in love
Chords: C, G, D

Take So Long – First Song Recorded Using My Disney/Pixar Coco Guitar (By Cordoba)
First song recorded using my Disney/Pixar Coco guitar (along with my little U-bass)! Sounds pretty good to my ears!
Lyrics:
Why did it have to
Take so long
For me
To find myself with you
Realize
That always making up
Was just a sign
That things were too messed up
To turn into something good
When the simple truth was
I wasted all those years
With the wrong person
Being hurt
Why did it have to
Take so long
To walk away
From the never ending
Train wreck
Why did it have to
Take so long
To find my way to you
Chords: Dm, Em, A7
Bass: Key of A
Guitar vs. Meds
