Proving Love Is Real The TV’s on There’s not much talking Between two buckaroos Good buds in plaid duds The Big Game playing But one of us must choose The ball’s in the end zone And we’re high as the ozone Our kisses sign the deal We’re proving love is real We’re proving love is real We met for Kava felt so nervous While hippies played the drums I wrote you poems for no purpose Always knowing one would come Then it hit like bolts of lightning Inside a hug that’s ever tightening My heart began to heal We’re proving love is real We’re proving love is real Our twins reverse They cast a curse Kept us apart It takes all flavors To show our neighbors We’re Proving love from the heart We hit the streets out in the town of devils Two angels on the move Our hands so tight we almost broke some vessels With all that love to prove You're never far from my sightline The finest love on this timeline That’s how I want to make you feel We’re proving love is real We’re proving love is real We’re proving love is real

"yes i have thought THIS IS THE BEST DANG SONG EVER sounds like bruce hornsby who is handsome but also best selling artist of all time" (two time Hugo award nominee) Dr. Chuck Tingle, January 2018

For the last six months I’ve worked as the composer for Chuck Tingle’s podcast Pounded In The Butt By My Own Podcast for the Night Vale Presents Network. Pounded is a bi-monthly show that centers-around readings of Chuck’s “Tinglers": absurdist, homoerotic short stories that Chuck self-publishes on Amazon. The show is funny, loving, and very NSFW.

Chuck asked me to write a theme song for his show inspired by the idea of “two buds watching the big game." He also asked that it take some cues from his favorite musician Bruce Hornsby. What I came up with is a song called Proving Love Is Real.

Although I identify as straight, I have admired the works of many gay artists and songwriters whose work sometimes eschewed their own preferences in order to express something universal about love. (Acknowledging, of course, that many of these creative decisions were made during cultural times that were not as open as today.)

For "Proving Love Is Real," I decided to write from the perspective of a gay man to pay homage to these artists.

The cover art is me having fun with Chuck's Ab-Heavy Ebook Covers. I've always wanted Abs, this is probably the closest I'll ever get!

LOVE IS REAL!
