Torchfireheart - Paper Route
©2020 words and music by Chris Pendergraft Paper route this song is a time/space warp between my current self and the earliest self I can still relate to with in me. Paper route is the visual reference that I need to form a spacial idea that can push time. Its kinda tripy but I need a picture to start a songwriting journey. Those early mornings formed a work ethic I never lost, but it has taken from me more than it has given me as I have missed important moments in the live of my loved ones in pursuit of m...

Torchfireheart - Picture This (Help Each Other)
Words and Music ©2020 Chris Pendergraft for BATU KURA KURA So, just like you I've been inside, missing everyone, thinking about what a lesson of interconnection this all is to us. To me, I look at a common, free, healthcare system as the first defense of a nation. Then when you connect that idea to the world, its easy to see this idea should be a global one, not just a national idea. We all need help and I know we are not doing enough to help each other, not everyone of us, some do nothing but sacrifice to others, but a...

Words and Music & Illustration ©2019 Chris Pendergraft Hand Me Down Blues - Jimi Hendrix Tribute Jimi inspired this track. He is always, and will always be, my guitar teacher. I heard 'Red House' as a teen, facing my first rejection by a girl and he spoke to me like no one had ever spoke to me. From that moment I was hooked and it was that moment I took my music studies with a serious vigor.

I wrote this today about the Oakland ghost ship fire, that took at this point some 36 confirmed lives. This district I came up in, still have our recording studio in. Its a live work community of cool ass folks trying to make life a little closer to art then reality. Me and my folks threw tons of parties and we just lucky and blessed very few people ever got hurt. What happened this weekend really hit me hard. I hope that we can learn something and find some comfort in the love that we have for each other. We all...

Caught Up And Confused (Tribute To Jimi Hendrix)prd. Russell Sinfield
Produced and mixed by Russell Sinfield @russell-sinfield- thank you Russell! A few weeks ago I was thinking about if Jimi Hendrix were around looking at the political system and what he might have to say about it. He was a brilliant lyricist and found a cool way of telling storys about people and the inner mind of those people. I look at him living in a very divisive time and leading a very non-divisive existence. So with much respect do I put this track out, to Jimi and his fans, Jimi straight up taught me how to look at guitar...

Torchfireheart - Pure Poetry (The Offer Of Atlas)
©2016 Chris Pendergraft, all music, art and performance. This is a song I wrote while painting my version of Atals. I spend a lot of time painting mythology, and I imagined the meeting of Hercules and Atlas similar to a carny caller trying to lure the young strongman up to ring a bell. So of course you will hear some Rocky Horror in here, as that was what I was shooting for. I Love the Ziggy period of Bowies life and I must tell you I have listened to a lot of bowie lately. I imagined the verses as Atlas and t...

Lost Is Lost
©2016 Chris Pendergraft, words and music, and performance. Lost Is Lost This is a song about letting go of what is lost, and appreciating the moment we live in. I'd rather not dig any deeper on lyrical meaning here. I think that we have these moments, that define who we are in the end, but if we look to hard at the past, we miss the moment we are in, and we get into a routine of life. It's a certain comfort we have, but we need to be open to the world, and that may require going out of our c...
