This is the web home of Candle-Ends.

 

I’d probably rather you just went to another of my websites, because as you can tell this is just bare bones. You can check out the blog at https://boojumpudding.blogspot.com.

My song “Marrakech” appeared in Episode 67 of the podcast “Tell Em Steve-Dave.” If you would like to download or stream the song you can get it here

 

I also made a simple video for “Marrakech” which was originally intended as a placeholder, with the idea that somebody else might want to come up with something better. However, I do kind of like the video the way it is. You can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjBHAnB2NKQ
