The Bipolar Symphony - Track 5 - The Dream Compass

I'm only
I'm only
I'm only
I'm only
I'm only 
I'm only
I'm only
I'm only 
Bi - Polar!

I'm only
I'm only
I'm only
I'm only
I'm only 
I'm only
I'm only
I'm only 
Bi - Polar!

I'm only
I'm only
I'm only
I'm only
I'm only 
I'm only
I'm only
I'm only 
Bi - Polar!

Come now, dear
Please take my hand,  I'm near
Let's drift into - into the blue
And cry when time is gone

Summertime is in your eyes
And soft is your smile
I'm lost - lost in cliches
But, thanks for the words anyway

Now I go down to the bridge and I toss the stones
On a rippled face that's watching me - watching me

Symphony In E Movement IV - Hungry Saturn

Dr. Watson's Post Mortem

All words and music performed by Andy Witmyer (c) 2015 - The first demo of a song called House of Grey, which I would later go on to perform in the Tangerine Rabbit Inferno. Very Syd Barrett inspired and more bluesy than my usual material.  Words:

Oh, stupid girl
You won't last long like that
Said you're not like that
But you crawled to a hole
And those black eyes he stole
In his house of dust
You're alone I trust

The days are spent in long silence
Unspoken, your habit of violence
You've changed.
And don't you say "maybe"
'Cause I think it's a bit more than just "maybe"
You'll die.

Oh, foolish girl
You're the night sky in his eyes
You don't like his eyes
But you crawled back to him
When the moonlight was dim
In his house of grey
You killed the day

Yeah - You've changed.
And don't you say "maybe"
'Cause I think it's a bit more than "maybe"
You'll die.


House Of Grey (original demo)

Words & Music by Andy Witmyer (c) 2015
A song I wrote while I was at work...performed here, live, with Heather Taddy, in my living room. Everything was recorded all at once in a single take, so it is what it is. I added some effects to spruce it up. The song is about failing to be a human being its disastrous consequences.

ERASER
Something's gotta give before I'm dead - before my meds turn to dust. I can feel the sunlight on my face - it's such a waste. It's such a waste. We can bend the light into a friend; we'll just pretend we've made amends. In the dark, it's hard to find the right lie - is it mine? And the gods, they told me I'm empty - I'm empty like you. They told me, I'm empty - I'm empty like you. I can feel it crawling all over me. Can't even sleep peacefully. When I stood with you at the gates, you watched my face disintegrate. And the gods, they told me I'm empty - I'm empty like you. They told me, I'm empty - I'm empty like you. If I'm a waste - should I be erased?

Eraser (Live) - Andy Witmyer & Heather Taddy

Dying Lights

A song about the times that my girlfriend would like me to actually listen to what she's saying!  This is a rough demo and is by no means a finished song. But now's chance to listen to one of the b-sides from my third solo album, "Cat Trap"!

She'd Rather I Listen (Rough Demo) - Andy Witmyer

STORM OF HEXING - There's no time left to explain in fact you might think me insane betwixt earth and bone I came upon a book wet from the rain and that's when he appeared a man of many years I can't say his name or how he appeared but he's here now 

The Storm of Hexing's bearing down, down
Now it's time to turn clocks back 'round, 'round
That the wizard only shows when he's found underground
I'll summon him again and again and again...

There's no time left to prepare or despair for things for which I care the storm begins with triggered hairs figured there's no time so fair to have the means to meet the end justified by my one friend we dipped the green into coarse flame and spoke his name it rhymes insane

The Storm of Hexing's bearing down, down
Now it's time to turn clocks back 'round, 'round
That the wizard only shows when he's found underground
I'll summon him again and again and again...

Storm Of Hexing (New Demo)

DEAR PRUDENCE by THE BEATLES
As performed here by Andy Witmyer.
Andy plays all piano, bass, percussion and performs all vocals. Song was recorded back in circa 2003 with very limited time and lo-fi equipment, thought still in honor of my Dad (RIP) who loved this song, but passed away. Please enjoy my humble attempt at such a wonderful song! Enjoy!

Dear Prudence (Beatles Covered by Andy Witmyer)

This is the demo of a song for my next solo album. It still needs bass and percussion, but is otherwise finished. Here are the words:

Sometimes, we fight - but, I never win - still I rise each dawn, just to let you in - let you in - I'm not well, I'm broken - and I may be cursed - still you say, you're okay - but, I think you're worse - you're so much worse - when compared to the girl I'd love to love - love to love - compared to the girl I'd love to love - love to love - love to love - she throws me down, I climb back up to her - she throws me down to the pile - to the pyre - she throws me down, I climb right back to her - she doesn't know my name - my name - do you even know my name - sometimes, we fight - sometimes, we fight - sometimes, we fight - sometimes, we fight - sometimes.
