Cadmium

Track 1 of my 'One Song a Fortnight' challenge where I write, record and upload one song a fortnight.

This one could do with some fleshing out and some of the lyrics changing but the deadline is here so it's going up!

It was inspired by general feelings of sadness despite having a LOT to be thankful for. The verses are about a guy walking along a road which collapses behind him as he falls into an endless void. Dark.

The Void

Track 2 of my 'One Song a Fortnight' challenge. 

When I started this I had in mind I'd come up with the song and record the bare bones in week 1, then flesh it out in week 2. Obviously that doesn't happen. This time I had been working on a song until half way through last week when I decided I didn't like it. I then came up with the chorus here and bashed this down quickly over a day or two.

I was late and feeling the pressure so it could do with fleshing out as there are too many choruses and not enough else but hey. Nothing 750 guitars in the background can't hide right?

Thanks to Becky for adding some lovely lyrics and beautiful vocals!

This one, or at least the chorus, is about mental health not being a competition.

Lyrics:

Again it's all the same,
Another forgotten name,

Hands ignite the air,
Thoughts struggling up the stairs,

My ears the howling wind,
A cage within my skin,

The air is cold and dense,
Scrambling up the fence,

Don't tell me I've never felt the pain you feel inside,
As my dreams shatter before my eyes,

Dreams are like water,
They ebb and they flow,
You're dancing through life, 
While others choke,

Don't tell me I've never felt the pain you feel inside,
As my dreams shatter before my eyes,

Don't tell me I've never felt the pain you feel inside,
As my dreams shatter before my eyes,

Don't fret, don't fret, love remains at the edges

etc

This is part of a 16-minute improvisation we did with a couple of friends in our tiny home music studio, then Sushi Neko stripped it down and added some lyrics on top. Demo for FAWM (February Album Writing Month), so quite a gritty mix. Thanks for listening. If you're in Tokyo, we'll be playing a gig with these two friends this Sunday 3/3, so come on down!
