This one was gonna get scrapped after I had written the rhythm guitar, but I ended up finishing it anyways. Admittedly I'm not so sure about how this one gels together, and I had to try a few different things in the mix since it kept giving me trouble, but I'd rather upload it and move on to something else than just keep chipping away right now.

A Short Heat

As a fan of the 90's Big Beat genre, I always wanted to make such a track like these groovy breakbeat style tracks.

TRAGIC LOVE STORY

Where The Silence Sing So Cold

Oh, summer song.
Why you giving me what for?
You turned your face towards the rain.
Oh, summer song.
Are you still floating in the sky?
You looked away when I needed you.
Well, I guess you gotta do the things you do.

Oh, summer sun.
Won't you burn my fears away?
I rest my head at night and dream.
Oh, summer sun.
Won't you give me one more try.
To make the mist just dissipate.
Why are we all waiting/running late?

They all say.
That the dreams we have as children fade away.
In the haze of many moons.
Caught out by June.
It's gone so soon.
I remember.
Almost every little phrase became ingrained.
On the path.
To the last.
So why'm I trying so hard for the laughs?

Oh, summer song.
Are you still giving up the gold?
It's nice to finally find a ripple in your folds.
Oh, summer song.
A brighter version of the day.
A final point to make the sway.
Get over here if you've something to say.

Oh, I must say.
As the dreams we had as children fade to grey.
And as the hazy days of June.
Forget the tune.
It's gone too soon.
I remember.
Almost every little phrase became ingrained.
On the path.
To the last.
So why we trying so hard for the laughs?

They all say.
That the dreams we have as children fade away.
In the haze of many moons.
Caught out by June.
It's gone so soon.
I remember.
Almost every little phrase became ingrained.
On the path.
To the last.
So why'm I trying so hard for the laughs?

Summer Song

“We shall never surrender” - never never never give up, When a hostile nation tries to overrule your country. What’s happening in Ukraine in the last 2 years is incomprehensible - in 2024. 

When Zelenskyy today is speaking to the world about the Ukraines right to defend themselves - it’s like an echo from When Winston Churchill - the British Prime Minister delivered his speech "We shall fight on the beaches" to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom on 4 June 1940.

Have we learnt nothing from history ? Why war in Europe again  ? For a legacy ? For an old man ? for the people of the aggressive nation ? For No reason at all ? What is next, if we do nothing ?

Released May 2024, version 1.0 m.

Meltdown

COOL KIDS

The streets around are open wide
I go forward. No look backward.
I wish I was in your backyard.

I push the gas. I cross the lines. I smash a pine.
For a moment. I felt so fine. I smash a pine.

You were pretty. The day was sunny.
A chikadee was flying here.
You did love him.

I push the gas. I cross the lines. I smash a pine.
For a moment. I felt so fine. I smash a pine.

I Smash A Pine

Lyrics :

(Verse:)
We saw what you did
We know what you are
Now follow us so we can fix it
Before it goes too far
(x2)

(Chorus:)
Why would you fucking do that ? 
We told you not to fucking do that 
You saw what happens when you fucking do that
So don't you ever fucking do it again

-Verse-
(x2)
(Bridge:)
You don't get to talk to us like that
(x8)
-Chorus-
