After a month of vocal practise and studying music production, I definitely feel like I've improved since End of an Era but still have a long way to go. I'm still getting the hang of mixing but mastering is still something I need to study. Regardless I felt satisfied enough to release the song so I can move on to other projects.

I wrote this song late last year. It's a bit of a difficult one to fully explain. The lyrics are a bit messy but kind of make sense in my head. It's based on the emotions that come from the anticipation of someone who's going to leave you who you don't have the strength to leave yourself.

Gone in a flash
Like somehow I'd imagined a ghost
I saw through your act
And denied all the facts when you showed

I saw through the cracks 
In your invisibility cloak
So you can pretend all you like
Oh but darling, you know

That it's true 
All I can do is stay beside you
Playing along till you're long gone
I'll wait beside you

Don't say goodbye when you go
Leave me here with the lies that you told 
'Cause I've seen all the signs 
And I said my goodbye long ago
'Cause I've known all this time
And I said my goodbye long ago

War with your mask
I'm outnumbered ten thousand to one
I can't counteract your relentless attacks anymore

Caught in a web
Inescapable threads that you wrought
So you can pretend I'm a fly 
For you darling, you know

That it's true 
All I can do is stay beside you
Playing along till you're long gone
I'll wait beside you

Don't say goodbye when you go
Leave me here with the lies that you told 
'Cause I've seen all the signs 
And I said my goodbye long ago 

Don't tell me I'm not enough 
I know I can't provide what you want
Only here on the side for you
Don't say goodbye when you go 
Don't say goodbye when you go

Don't say goodbye when you go
Leave me here with the lies that you told 
'Cause I've seen all the signs 
And I said my goodbye long ago 

Don't tell me I'm not enough 
I know I can't provide what you want
Only here on the side for you
Don't say goodbye when you go 
Don't say goodbye when you go


When You Go

August Haze (Original Instrumental)

This is my first collaboration with another artist on Soundcloud and It's been a pleasure working on this track. The production and music was fully made by the very talented Andy Pelkey, the vocals are myself and the lyrics are mostly myself with Andy creating the title and helping edit a few words.

Out of the dark and into the light
I've spent a long time
Dwelling on the home behind 

Like a stray dog, I will find my way alone 
Ever roaming outside
You erase me
Erase me

Out of the comfort, Into retreat
It's been a long time 
Since you would return to me

Knowing stray dogs have to find their ways alone
And through this fight
I'll be wandering every road
Ever roaming outside 
You erase me
Erase me 

I claw at the trees in pale moonlight 
And howl in the breeze, nothing replies 
Your memory fades away
And I have gone astray, Into the wild

So where in the world can I reside
When I had a place within your eyes
Becoming estranged as we divide
I'll face the light 

You erase me
Erase me 
Erase me 
Erase me 

Erase Me

This track was produced by the really talented Adam4le who created all the music himself. He asked me to write lyrics and provide vocals for this song and It clicked for me straight away. I had such a good time with this track and It's probably one of the quickest times I've completed lyrics for a song.

I've been gone
Pulled into the other side
In the smoke again
Caught in the dead of night

I feel lost 
Falling out of paradise
I let my soul descend
And soar through the dead of night

And i'm slipping in, 
Past the point of no return
I can't defy this hold 
Struggling to pull myself away
I can't survive below 

But I can't prevent it from happening
It's inevitable, I know

And i'm slipping in, 
Past the point of no return
I take the ride alone 
Spinning into darkness and decay
A place no light follows

But I can't prevent it from happening
It's inevitable

I've been caught in flight
Taken to the other side
I feel my soul descend
Lost in the dead of night

I invoked this fight 
Drawn in where the shadows lie
Fading as I wandered off the edge
Caught in the dead of night

And i'm slipping in, 
Past the point of no return
I can't defy this hold 
Struggling to pull myself away
I can't survive below 

But I can't prevent it from happening
It's inevitable, I know

And i'm slipping in, 
Past the point of no return
I take the ride alone 
Spinning into darkness and decay
A place no light follows

But I can't prevent it from happening
It's inevitable

Dead of Night

I am singing and Mr Nice Guy I is playing the guitar for the song called "How Could You by Jessie Murph". I am making the song my own version. I had to change the backing track so the timing might a bit off in places. The video version of this song that was recorded with the previous backing track is on YouTube at https://youtu.be/HHLFbtFPKCg
