Ain't Like 'Em

Love Song

Week 14 Song a Week 2016
This song was inspired by 3 randomly selected words: socks, moxy and Valparaiso AND recorded with my phone recorder in my room!


Valparaiso (Song a Week Challenge 14)

Song a Week 2016 Challenge was to create a song inspired by a recipe and we all know what the recipe to eating a perfect biscuit is. This was recorded in my bathroom with my phone recorder.
LYRICS:
So give me a pinch and I’ll give you a lot 
Don’t need to follow the rules to make it hot 
Turn up the heat and don’t forget to beat
And That’s how. That’s how, that’s how you make love

But don’t forget to dust and drizzle those drippings
And don’t forget to baste before you start cookin’
And don’t forget to get the batter hard  before mixin’
And don’t forget to never ever stop whiskin’

If you wanna eat my perfect biscuits man 
Do what you got do what you got to do 
If you wanna eat my perfect biscuit
Whip out the pan whip out the pan man 
If you wanna eat my perfect biscuit 

Butter it up butter me up 
If you wanna eat my perfect biscuits
You better put your apron on,on
You better put your apron on 
You better put your apron on

Biscuits ( Song a Week Challenge 15)

This song was written as part of the Song a Week Week 16 Challenge: Write a song inspired by a fictional Disney or non-Disney character. 
It was recorded with my phone recorder in my room.
Lyrics:
Don't try to fix what ain't right
What will be will always be
The lights will always go out for me at midnight 
I don't need you to rescue me
Cause I got a life of my own, friends of my own 
hey o 
I don't need to move on, move out to feel free
I know you don't get it, hard for you to let it, be the one thing seperatin' you from me but hey no one ever said love was easy 

Noo, the truth ain't easy 
Yeah, it's harder to live that good life
You may be a perfect prince and everything may look right but

I can't be your Disney wife
I ain't cut out for that Disney life
I can't be your Disney wife
Ain't cut out for that Disney life

So throw away your dreams of me 
I always knew that glass slipper would never fit on me
So throw away your dreams of me 
I won't be caged by your Disney fantasy 

No, it's harder to live that good life 
You may be a perfect prince and everything may look right but
Ain't cut out for that Disney life
 

Disney Wife (Song a Week 2016)

This song was written by Jen Bluhm of the Salt Vine as a Song a Week Challenge.  Hear the song I wrote for her: https://soundcloud.com/jen-bluhm/week-17-games-by-anielle-reid-and-jen-bluhm

Right Like You Song a Week Challenge

This was written as a part of Song a Week 2016 for The Mos Bros and was inspired by conspiracy theories and open racism in the politically correct age and obsessed "cultural/racial appropriation age". 

Let's sing whatever we want and not be limited by other's stereotypes of what type of music a person can create and enjoy.

This was recorded by my phone recorder in my room.

LYRICS:
I don't know what to believe
It's hard to think for myself when every thought I think is just obscene

When everything I say and everything I do is wrong
and nobody believes me even though I wrote this song of love and light they say I'm fake
Singing while right is a crime these days
Singing while right is a crime these days

But don't you worry love, it's just a conspiracy
and love don't you worry, it's just a conspiracy


Singing While Right

Audio from my remote session shot in Prospect Park. Watch it here:

This is the live stripped version of two original songs entitled Waves and Free.

Both were inspired by conversations and politics and race.



Waves - Free - A Remote Session ( Song A Week)

This song was recorded in my room on my phone for the Song A Week 2016 Challenge. 
This actually is not a "done" song but a recording of me attempting to finish it and I figured hey why not! 

Lyrics:
I've got bills to pay and my daddy's far away 
Who's going to take care of me (2x)

People change 
Feelings fade
Promise me you'll always stay 

People change 
Feelings fade
Promise me you'll always stay

People change 
Feelings fade

I've got bills to pay and my daddy's far away 
It don't matter with you here

Stay (Song A Week)

This was recording in my room on my phone recorder. I was inspired by a comment on the Song a Week 2016 facebook page that described a woman as a good bad girl. 

Lyrics
She's a good bad girl 
She don't wait to steal your man till your back is turned 

She don't waste no time on playin' games 
Cause she know that men don't like when women play that way 
She don't waste no time on playin' games
Cause she know that men don't like when women play that way
