Some loose ends that came together all at the same time. Mostly short tracks, brief and repetitive moments. It's when I began, then, trying to write and be an artist I used to be.

Began then

Airlight

Do you remember back in the day
It's hard to forget it won't go away
Say hey kid go out and play
But don't forget your gun now get out of the way

I want to start everyday with a case of amnesia
Inhale a vapor trail and make out with the Mona Lisa

I'm gonna ride on my little bunny unicycle
Gonna fly on my little bunny unicycle
Gonna hop on my little bunny unicycle
And try to forget that anything happened today

It's the same thing everyday
Smoking by the dumpster just to get away
I ain't got nothing to trade
Except a broken down guitar I don't know how to play
So hey hey hey hey hey
That's all I got all I got to say
Trying to forget that anything happened

I want to start everyday with a case of amnesia
Inhale a vapor trail and make out with the Mona Lisa

I'm gonna ride on my little bunny unicycle
Gonna fly on my little bunny unicycle
Gonna hop on my little bunny unicycle
And try to forget that anything happened today
Today
Today
I'm just trying to forget that anything happened today

Getting started on the full-blown track to come.

Against The Wind - Bob Seger (Ron Snyder Unplugged COVER)

It's 2000's-style alt rock, with hard-hitting choruses from stacked electric guitars, fuzzy bass, and pensive vocals. Think: The OC, Phantom Planet, Pete Yorn, Slow Pulp. I started with the drums; the catchy melody and plucky guitars fell in naturally. Harmonies and a swelling, ambient guitar solo round it out.

Bye bye

Bye Bye

Are you watching the earth spin around?
Through the clouds, through the clouds, all the clouds.
You don't lift up your head up and look round.
Look around, look around, at the clouds.
When the cloudburst is tumbling down.
To the ground.

See you speak but you don't make a sound.
Look around, for the sound, for the sound.
And you're only a face in the crowd?
Walking round, head bowed down, bowing down.
Won't you get your head out of my clouds?
On the ground.

Stars fill the gaps that the clouds can't replace.
Somebody said they can see through your face.

Is your head fucked up spinning around?
Spin around, round and round, spinning round.
Is your head still stuck up in a cloud?
Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down.
You choose now to take your look around?
To the ground.

When you can't see the wood for the trees?
On your knees, to your knees, on your knees.
And if you don't stay still you will freeze.
As you please, as they please, as I please.
All the clouds floating off on the breeze.
On your knees.

Stars fill the gaps that the clouds can't replace.
Somebody said they can see through your face.



The Clouds

Imagine a cool summer evening in San Francisco 1964.  All your Hippies have gathered for an apartment party.  The mood is easy.  The times are crazy.  Your buzz is peaking and in  walks Delilah Lilac.  She immediately casts a spell of love over the room.  The room is lifting off into space and it is propelled by her amazing positive spirit.  She has nothing but endless love for everyong and is always the focal point of attention.  All negativity is gone and life is magical again.

Another Romeo

A thumping, harmony-laden alt rock tune reminiscent of Polyphonic Spree and Arcade Fire. An alternate lead vocal weaves through the bridge as the song builds from bare bones to a layered crescendo, before settling into an intimate outro of piano and intertwined voices.

The reason

Memories Of Summer

A track that mixes happy and strange feelings.

Just trying to get a good song out there. I do songwriting all the way through production to mix/master. Spurts of music spread out over some years by now. Find me on Spotify at "Alex Couch" https://spoti.fi/3JS2TAx
