Performed in Springfield, MO at Songpull 3
About the Song
With his last-minute co-written entry, Jason brings a fresh new song to his third Songpull about regret, and moving away from those things in the past that we’ve all done, or haven’t done, and regretted.
About the Songwriter
I have been a songwriter for about twelve years. During that time I developed my graphic design skills making posters, CD packaging, and other propaganda for my own band and other various freelance clients. After various odd jobs through the years including a car wash, TGI Fridays, a music store, telemarketing, Hotels.com, and a gas station clerk, I’m now an owner of a 10 person design firm, Departika, in Springfield, Missouri, where I’m the Creative Director for Interactive Design. I’m also the owner of Designfruit.com—-a site primarily devoted to photoshop brushes and other resources for designers. I started writing songs at about 17 years of age. I formed a band (Fern), dropped out of college, and hit the road. Fern released three albums and I have thirty or so unreleased songs as a solo artist. My biggest claim to fame is a tour with the Goo Goo Dolls during the seven years of Fern’s existence.

Dec 18, 2007This is one of the most repeated phrases I say from a Songpull song.
Daniel F. Says:
Dec 19, 2007I was obviously joking above...This song and performance was literally life changing for me and I think Songpull changing! What I mean by that is that the enitre idea of Songpull was being developed during these early Springfield Songpulls. These performances and videos existed even before the website did and is what inspired us to take songs like these to the world. One interesting thing about this particular performance, is that Jason's parents were at this songpull. For me as "watcher" it was very powerful to see the interaction between Jason and his folks, while singing such an honest song about "doing better" in life. Whew!
