(LYRICS) 
I met Jesus sleeping on the sidewalk, 
I bummed a smoke, and he, 
He told a joke, 
And then, I start to choke, 
And then, he starts to scream, 
And then, he left in smoke, 
I say "what does it mean?" 

I met a demon walking in my backyard, 
Made of charm, his demeanour could harm, 
And he, was singing harmonies, 
I could hardly breathe, 
My lungs start to sing, 
Or so it seemed, 
He starts to flee the scene, 
I lied down in the mud, 
He climbed inside a tree, 
And then my lungs were done, 
So suddenly, 
It was so sudden, 
So suddenly, 
It was so sudden, 

I met an angel crying in the doorway, 
She blocked the gate, and said that I'm too late, 
And so I laid my case, I can't forget her face, 
When rust formed on my tongue, 
I guess I spoke too much, 
Started  pleading just for them to see me, 
He starts to flee the scene, 
I lied down in the mud, 
But really who is she, I see burns on her wings, 
Dusted wing clippings, gods children burning,

So suddenly, 
It was so sudden, 
So suddenly, 
It was so sudden,

tongue rust

lyrics :
Do you think of me
The way I think of you
I must've said that to myself
A thousand times

Do you love me
The way I love you
I've said that too many times
Many times

I've wondered
If I lack something
Do I need to change
For you to love me

For you to love me
For you to love me
For you to love me
For you to love me

do i lack something

Hidden (PROMO)

1-hour version on Youtube at https://youtu.be/vKhwV1COFpo

It's 5am deep in the Borneo rainforest. Cicadas, crickets and katydids are winding down their night calls but birds haven't started to sing just yet. Gibbons climb to the top of trees and start calling to let other troops know they're around. Birds and daytime insects slowly wake up and start calling too.

Recorded in Borneo's rainforest with Sony PCM D10, Lom MikroUsi micropohones and BubbleBee Windbubbles. I left the drop rig out in the jungle for 24 hours so I could capture a full day-night cycle. More sounds and stories at https://mindful-audio.com

Borneo rainforest - Lush dawn chorus - Gibbons and birds

Reminiscent of one of my first posted songs, "Violet Light"

Pick me up on a Sunday
Drive me home, I live just below the grade 
Say you’re jaded in love and
You can’t stay
In the same place

Compliance isn’t my forte
Listen but I choose to ignore it
If I keep knocking 
You’ll have to open it 
That’s what I’m hoping 

Come apart in color 
Shades of you 
In better parts of me 
Covered us in deep blue 
While I’m bleeding

Purple haze 
The way you taste 
deep enough to drown in 

Lavender 
The way it hurts 
Love leaves pretty bruises 

Ultraviolet 
You’re still fighting 
I’m certain i just 
Colored 
in your lies

Turn around and you chase me
Swear that you only want me when I don’t 
Like to play Tug of war with my patience 
I can’t take it

This time I know it’s fleeting
The stars align for a while and then they move
Chalk it up as a loss and conceding
You don’t mean it 

Come apart in color 
Shades of you 
In better parts of me 
Covered us in deep blue 
While I’m bleeding

Purple haze 
The way you taste 
deep enough to drown in 

Lavender 
The way it hurts 
Love leaves pretty bruises 

Ultraviolet 
You’re still fighting 
I’m certain i just 
Colored 
in your lies

A short piece about a hibernating woodland, and all the life still held within.

I wrote this for a competition on the Hybrid Two twitch stream A first attempt at an arrangement of the Latin text 'Justorum animae in manu Dei sunt'. VSTs used include Abbey Road One (strings and percussion) and BBC Symphony Orchestra (woodwinds), the rest I sang.
