Liner Notes

In hindsight, it appears much of my music is about death, thinking about death, traveling (presumably away from death), and raising my children in a crazy world full of things like oil spills an daffodils. And death.

All songs written and performed by Mark Oppenneer unless otherwise noted.

Going Away
Started out as a tongue-in-cheek environmental song written in response to someone saying, “Hey, you haven’t written an environmental song” or something like that. In production, it turned out almost serious.

Premeditated Life

Oilspills & Daffodils
Mark Oppenneer: piano, keyboard, voice

Happy Guy
Written for my Mom who always thought my poetry and music were a little dark (which they are). Happy Guy is without a doubt the happiest piece of music I have ever written, replete with a whistle solo and a la-la part.
