I've laid down beside you
and you've been in my home
I've been in a room with you
and we've been apart and alone
The only thing that I could think
is you don't know what I need
The most devastating 
thing you've done to me
was the time you left me on read

We used to get our business done
before we'd sink our teeth into pleasure
We knew the meaning of all our fun
but we still knew how to
 take each other's measure
The only thing that I could think
is you don't know what I need
The most devastating 
thing you've done to me
was the time you left me on read

There were so many things
I would've done for you
Given you an organ, let you watch me bleed
But the hardest thing you ever did to me
was that time you left me on read

For the first track of Jamuary, I was going to put up a fast-paced banger, but a sinus headache led me in this direction instead. Follow me on Mastodon for all my Jamuary jams and patch notes:

Jamuary20240101 - Covid Rebound Sinus Headache

I've seen people posting about #Jamuary — I think the idea is to do a live jam every day of the month. That's not going to happen because I've never quite figured out how to 'jam' but I like the idea of doing a track a day in one sitting and uploading whatever the result is. That's also very unlikely to happen, but I made this tonight sat on the sofa while my wife watched Phil and Kirsty.

If I get a few of these done over the course of the month I might finish them off and release them.

Jamuary20240104 - Dark Techno Sketch

Day 5 of #Jamuary2024 and I've done this (deep?) house thing. It would need some more variation and polish but it has some promise I think.

Jamuary 18th - Time Signature: 18/16

I don't know why I decided to make my life so hard by writing and singing a track in 18/16 for Jamuary. This took me quite a lot of time. The number 18 made me think of coming of age, hence the lyrics.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I'm turning 18 Today
Your life is gonna change, they say
Big birthday party, boy
But then you can forget about joy
You're gonna be a man,
Get a job, get a wife and then
You'll be a dad someday
"But Mom, I just wanna play"

[Chorus]
Now I'm a man, I pay the bills and I've got a job,
But I still wanna play, still wanna play

[Verse 2]
Time to pick a university
The one with the easiest classes
Time to pick a job
Making videogames will be fun
But this is adult life
You can't escape your daily duty
A kid for life
At Thirty, Eight or Eighteen

18/16 At Thirty, Eight Or Eighteen
