Well done Amanda!  My favorite of yours so far.

Do I Look Worried (Isolated Guitar/Vocal Mix)

out of the woods (taylor swift cover)

It's a different house but the same bed
Feelings slightly scarred with regret
Swell up inside as we let them fill us
Is there happiness we remember still?

Thought this would be the best day
That you and I had been astray
That "you and me" could start over
But I'm not sure I can forget

I prayed for this day to happen
I hoped for proof that you were not lying
When you said we'd meet again
I lost hope, and some of the love and, with time, some of the hate

Thought this would be the best day
That you and I had been astray
That "you and me" could start over
But I'm not sure I can ...

Forget, forgive
The words you said can't be taken back
Forget, forgive
It's too late
Forget, forgive
It's too late

Thought this would be the best day
That you and I had been astray
That "you and me" would start over
I'm not sure I can forget

Forget

Written by me in October 2015. Sound engineering by George Dean (The Sunlit Woods, The Moonlit Sea) who also provided the rain sounds.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
I'm sitting here, just with my thoughts.
All I can hear are the raindrops
Taking me back;
I lose track,
And towards lost love, my mind begins to sway.
On this rainy day.
On this rainy day.

(Verse 2)
I think of times I tried too hard.
And of which crimes left others scarred.
And of the nights
When all was right,
And of the things I neglected to say.
On this rainy day.
On this rainy day.

(Chorus)
On this rainy day of mine, the sun don't shine.
These memories I replay
On this rainy day.

*Come on*

(Instrumental)

(Verse 3)
And I'll forget, given time.
As new regrets move up my mind.
That's been the theme
Of all these dreams:
The next one comes to push the last away.
On this rainy day.
On this rainy day.

(Chorus)
On this rainy day of mine, the sun don't shine.
These memories I replay
On this rainy day.

On this rainy day of mine, the sun don't shine.
These memories I replay
On this rainy day.

Rainy Day

Adele - Water Under the Bridge

Detour by Amanda Schultz (2016)

VERSE 1
I hear they call you the Rainy City
from where I sit all I see are skies of blue
From the outside it looks just right
right for you
and me too

VERSE 2
Try to remember who you were before all the open doors
Because the time flew by like rain and I watched it flow away
From afar I deepened scars and hid behind a baggage line

CHORUS
We could go home or take another detour
take another trip around the sun or we could
take a walk through Blueridge
I'd tell you what I knew if I knew anything at all
The thing with wanderlust is that it always turns to dust

VERSE 3
I drove the parkway for the first time since I made up my mind
and it felt like no miles had passed at all but still I had to cry
Because there's one more painted front door I call home
I should have known

CHORUS
We could go home or take another detour
take another trip around the sun or we could
take a walk through Blueridge
I'd tell you what I knew if I knew anything at all
The thing with wanderlust is that it always turns to dust

BRIDGE
And I don't regret all the time I've spent
walking compass in hand
But you will find that I do mind
that wasted time is mine
all the time

CHORUS
We could go home or take another detour
take another trip around the sun or we could
take a walk through Blueridge
I'd tell you what I knew if I knew anything at all
The thing with wanderlust is that it always turns to dust

Just like us
We just need love.

Detour

Original music written by Alyssa Schultz in 2010.

Produced/Sound Engineered by George Dean in January 2016.

LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
Looks like a summer day it's beautiful to your eye
The cold is sharp on your skin; it isn't much a surprise
But still you seem so surprised

The sky is crying but there isn't a cloud in sight
Feels like I'm dying 'cause we'll never win this fight

(Chorus)
Wish I could find a way to take the sun from the sky
Wish I could find a way to put its light in your eyes
I miss that look in your eyes

(Verse 2)
Around a table we sat and we talked for a while
The child within me can still remember your smile
It's been too long to see you smile

I wasn't there when you were tired of holding on
I like to think the man I knew will live on and on

(Chorus)
Wish I could find a way to take the sun from the sky
Wish I could find a way to put its light in your eyes
I miss that look in your eyes

(Bridge)
Every time I feel that something could turn out right
Every time I feel a day might end alright
I start to think you'll be okay and the world might stop for a minute

I sometimes dream that the clouds will part from the sky
I dream I see the light returning to your eyes
I see that look in your eyes

Wish I could find a way to take the sun from the sky
Wish I could find a way to put its light in your eyes
I miss that look in your eyes
I miss that look in your eyes

Look in your Eyes

Written and recorded by Alyssa Schultz in February 2016.

LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
I know a place where we can hide away
You know I'd never make you stay
I think you'd like it if I asked you to dance
Like you ever stood a chance

(Verse 2)
I know a place where we can see the stars
Forget about our scars
I think I'd like it if you held my hand
Who ever said you can't?

(Chorus)
Take me for a drive before we have to say goodnight
Foggy city views will always make me think of you

Always make me think of you
Those foggy city views

Foggy City Views

Cover of "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" by Smokey Robinson and the Fabulous Miracles.

Recorded by Alyssa Schultz in February 2016.

You've Really Got A Hold On Me (Cover - One-Take Recording)

Written and recorded by Alyssa Schultz in February 2016.

LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
Rain is coming down hard
This gloomy city makes me sad
I didn't play my cards right
I didn't mean to make you mad

(Verse 2) 
Clouds gather at the mountains
I hear the streams are raging down
The flood is warning us to just stay in
Not much fun does that sound

(Chorus)
Would you go for a walk with me, baby?
We'll play in puddles all day
Would you spend your days with me, darling?
What do you say?

(Verse 3)
Playing house
Let's make a fort out of stone
Kiss my mouth
Remember your not alone

(Chorus)
Would you go for a walk with me, baby?
We'll play in puddles all day
Would you spend your days with me, darling?
What do you say?

(Verse 4)
I don't know much about love
I try my best every day
You seem to fit like a glove
Is that what love is these days?

(Chorus)
Would you go for a walk with me, baby?
We'll play in puddles all day
Would you spend your days with me, darling?
What do you say?

Would you go for a walk with me, baby?
We'll play in puddles all day
Would you spend your days with me, darling?
What do you say?
What do you say?
