My favorite things are trees and clouds I blow them out I burn them down Call me a fiend but that golden green has got me grinning like no other that I ever seen I roll over in the morning and discover it aint boring to live at all I roll over in the morning and remmber it aint boring to live And when the sun comes up You know Im ready to play You got me jumping out of bed like Im stoked for the day I start my morning with the same routine I take a deep breath And Im ready to sing. Airplanes got nothing on me now Im in the clouds not on the ground Theres a seed within the soil if you let it grow it will show you that Nothing's important just keep yourself togeher nothing's that perfevt just keep yourself together. Darling i need you Darling I breathe you.... Darling I need you, I need you. Darling I breathe you, I breathe you in. My favorite things are trees and clouds.

about

Trees and Clouds, and the two accompanying tracks were written over the course of two years in New Mexico where Jeddy lived for most of his life. Through these songs he tries to capture the rigid, often unforgiving, texture of the desert landscapes and the nurturing spirit of the endless desert sky he grew to love while living there. Trees and Clouds was recorded in the first two weeks of May, 2017 shortly after Jeddy had moved back to his home town, Sand City, California. It was recorded in Trent Babb's apartment which stands now where there used to be several small cement pools where young Jeddy would go and collect the tad pols that so magically seemed to live there in that once empty lot. Sand City is a small city in California's Monterey bay that is largely industrial. It is where Jeddy was raised his first several years, and a place he has always held dear and returned to. It seemed appropriate his first collection of bass compositions be recorded here. You will hear throughout the album the many passing trucks and forklifts that frequent these streets by day, the sea gulls that survey the coastal skies and other almost inaudible chatter that Jeddy has come to know as the sound of home.
