I’m working my ass off
And I ain’t got much to show
I’ve got empty pockets
As I try to follow my nose

The whole world is moving
And I’m just standing still
I used to have time to ruminate
Used to have time to kill

but not any more 

I feel bad about these songs
Like I’m letting you down
I write them in five minutes
And then I gotta go run around

I don’t know how I got here
I don’t know where I go next
I used to go to the park to just think
I had time to be perplexed 





Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 7+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.

You can see my most current song, as well as songs from year's past over at http://songaday.org

If you want to support me in my Song A Day quest, there are several ways!. I have many albums for sale on Bandcamp: http://jonathanmann.bandcamp.com

You can also support me in a more sustainable way by becoming a subscriber on Bandcamp or joining of 130 other folks and backing me on Patreon: http://patreon.com/jonathanmann
