New Song: "Married to Harry Dresden" (Patreon)

This is a commissioned song I did for a friend, to celebrate her husband's birthday. He apparently has the same effect on tech.

We went out to the movies and the car’s battery diedSo did the battery of the car parked right next doorMy husband sighs and apologizes, he did it again,It’s his technology killing magic field once more

It's not easy being married to Harry DresdenWe go through gadgets at a rate the Geek Squad fearsHe just walks by, and my laptop starts to die,I’ve gone through forty six phones in just two years.

I know he's got a lot of responsibilityI know he saves the world every month or soBut while he's out solving crimes, I wish for simpler times,When The fanciest tech we had was the radio

It's not easy being married to Harry DresdenOur color TV now only shows black and whiteHe shrugs and says “color didn't really improve it”But The Wizard of Oz and Avengers don't look right

Of course nobody knows our little secret,So the service people don't know what to thinkRepairmen tried two times to fix our doorbell chimes,But all we get is a little bitty “dink”

No washer-dryer, dishwasher, or furnaceSomehow he even broke our woodfire stoveIt's something new every day, he can't even use plug and play,Our basement is a dead electronics treasure trove

It's not easy being married to Harry DresdenMost modern conveniences are taboo,But when push comes to shove, he's still the man I love,So I’ll read the Little House books and just make do,

Even without technology, This is where I want to beSo Harry Dresden, it's me in love with you.
