"The Painter Man" by Andrew Neil is a song that tells a story through the perspective of an artist, referred to as the Painter Man.

THE PAINTER MAN

Simple, acoustic song about missing someone far away. You still love them, but you feel like you don't get enough of their time.

A Bit of You

Falling in love can be as easy and comfortable as your favorite pair of Levi Jeans.

Crystalline

I’m so cold 
sittin’ here all alone, freezing while ur warm at home
Don’t mind me
I’ll get by on my memories of sunny days & gentle breezes
They always warm me up a little bit
Just thinkin’ about them bygone days when I was just a little kid
We didn’t have much but we sure had love
We sure had love, at least enough of it
Enough to keep me warm on days like this
Days like this
Livin’ in the back seat of my Buick
Parked outside of truck stops & convenience stores
No cash to wash my drawers, but I gotta keep movin’
20 below and I gotta shut the engine down
Coz the sound will attract attention and they’ll run me off
Can’t seem to shake this cough and I’m seein’ blood
Oh woh oh, Oh woh oh, Oh woh oh ohh
Oh woh oh-oh, Oh woh oh-oh, Oh woh oh-ohh

Fly away
In our minds we’ll fly away, feel no pain, no loneliness today
Don’t cry for me
I’ll get by on my memories of sunny days & gentle breezes
They always warned me “Don’t get used to this. Sorrow fills the cracks and when it freezes, your heart can break again.”
We didn’t have much but we sure had love
We sure had love, at least enough of it
Enough to keep me warm on days like this
Days like this
Livin’ in a tent under a freeway overpass, freezin’ my ass off
Wonderin’ when they’ll come around and make me pay a fine
It’s just a matter of time
Frostbite creepin’ up my arms and legs, suicidal thoughts runnin’ through my head, can’t pay for a doctor, can’t afford to die, and I wonder why I even try
Oh woh oh, Oh woh oh, Oh woh oh ohh
Oh woh oh-oh, Oh woh oh-oh, Oh woh oh-ohh
They always warned me “Don’t get used to this. Sorrow fills the cracks and when it freezes, your heart can break again.”
We didn’t have much but we sure had love
We sure had love, at least enough of it
Enough to keep me warm on days like this
Days like this
Days like this
Days like this

"Splash City" (instrumental)(Prod. by benjamin.)

Hi everyone, I started a band, "Andrew Neil & Code Purple"  (ANCP),  Our debut album, "Resurrection" will be officially released very soon!! In the meantime, enjoy the pre-release of the album on Soundcloud! 
Andrew Neil is considered an "Outsider" music artist along the lines of Daniel Johnston.  One can also hear influences of Elliot Smith, Anthony Kiedis, and Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) in his vocal delivery.  Andrew  began writing songs following a head injury sustained in a car accident in 2009.  Since then he has struggled with Bi-polar and PTSD.  He has written nearly 400 songs since late 2009, and never had any music training to speak of.  In 2014 he was hospitalized due to a psychotic episode gone bad and remained in a state hospital for three years until May 2017.  While hospitalized he wrote and recorded 70 songs.  Upon his release we decided to produce an Album called "Code Purple -Andrew Neil".  We selected 11 of the 70 songs and had them mastered.  It is the only album ever produced in which all the songs are written and recorded in a State Mental Hospital.  He now lives in a Group home in Charlottesville, VA.  Since leaving the hospital in May 2017, he has written almost 40 songs and is now in the process of recording his first studio Album, which is being produced by Andy Waldeck and features Nate Brown (from the band "Everything") on drums.   Andrew has enough solid material for 2 plus Albums....plus an incredible back-catalogue of material.   He continues to write quality songs.  Peace to you!  Ray (Andrew's Dad)
