Just a silly track for a FAWM challenge to write something based on a nursery rhyme.

Lyrics:
Now horses have hooves
As I'm sure you can tell
And they'll never be able
To pick up eggshell
So if that numpty Humpty Dumpty
Is likely to fall
I suggest the King's men
Just dismantle his wall

Lyrics by me : Music and vocals by UDIO

[intro]
[verse 1]
Candy lemon skies
Dilated eyes (eyes)
Lazy, freely ambulating
Smoothly, just like roller skating

[Chorus]
(oooooooh) Kaleidoscope days
(aaah aaaaah) Kaleidoscope ways

[verse 2]
Birdsong in my mind
All around me shines (shines)
Crazy, speaking without thinking
Universal; interlinking

[Chorus]
(oooooooh) Kaleidoscope days
(aaah aaaaah) Kaleidoscope ways

[bridge]
Thinking free
Running free
(Thinking free; running free)
You and me
(You and me)
[instrumental]
[verse]
Birdsong in my mind
Candy lemon skies

[Chorus]
(oooooooh) Kaleidoscope days
(aaah aaaaah) Kaleidoscope ways
(oooooooh) Kaleidoscope days
(aaah aaaaah) Kaleidoscope ways
[fading out]
(oooooooh) 
(aaah aaaaah) 
(oooooooh) Kaleidoscope days
(aaah aaaaah) Kaleidoscope ways

Kaleidoscope Days

Lyrics:

Hmmm ... Sea breezes
Warm on my skin
Watching the tides
Flowing out; flowing in

Mediterranean holiday
Get away from it all
No longer on the clock
And no alarm's call

Just breathe
Just relax
Just go with the flow

Hmmm ... Sea breezes
Kites in the air
Watching them flying
Colours everywhere

Lying, reading on the beach
The hours drift away
Letting all the stress dissolve
And cares slip away

Just breathe
Just relax
Just go with the flow

Sea Breezes

Lyrics

Verse 1
All those nights on the town
Seeing who we could meet
A fail, a fling, or maybe someone
To make your life complete

Chorus
For the loves I had
Hold tight the memories
For the love I have
The strength of family

Verse 2
Settle down. Build a life.
Fill it with love and light
Children, siblings, special friends
Hold them close; hold them tight

For the Love

Lyrics

So glad you found a way to flee
But here the streets still drown in fear
Patrolling soldiers; guns in hand
The menace sweeps across the land

The lights flicker; then they're gone
Sit in the dark awaiting dawn
Bombs fall close; they're getting near
You made it out, but we're still here

Chorus/
Who wouldn't want to 
Escape this place
To find a better world
To find a better life
You couldn't wait to 
Escape this place
To protect yourself
To save your life

The snipers watch through shaded eyes
Their bullets cut through smokey skies
We move in shadows; hold our breath
The city burns; the sirens scream
Living in apocalyptic scenes
You found your way; you#re free and clear
But I'm still trapped in all this fear

C/

From One Left Behind

Lyrics

Don't go into town
Wearing a frown
With Happy-Happy
You'll never feel down

Join us in our hyper-perfect society
Just one pill to feel Happy-Happy like me

(instrumental)

History books say there used to be crime
Now everybody just has a Happy-Happy time
Now, it may be true we don't control our lives
But without Happy-Happy you just feel unalive

Feeling fine
Feel high
Feeling euphoric
And compliant

(instrumental)

Going through life in a pharmaceutical haze
No-one can deny these are Happy-Happy days

Feeling fine (happy-happy)
Feel high (happy-happy)
Feeling euphoric
And compliant

Happy-Happy

Shadow Hymn

Lana's Lament

Lyrics

Still living in a 60s dream
Think rock ended in '73
Say music's all made by machines
Wishing someone would intervene

c/
You're out of style
You're out of touch
You're clinging to the past
Way too much

Didn't care for punk or rave
But you'll love new-wave until the grave
Think that artists tried to be brave
Taking chances with the songs they made

Br/
But the beat never stops
And technology moves on
So tune your ears to
The sound of the song
Absorb all the changes
Retune to the sound
There's still some great music
Out there to be found

C/

Out of Style; Out of Touch

Lyrics:

Sunrise
Take a bike to the train
Never going to drive again

Tide's in 
Take a boat to the shore
Not going to fly no more

Slow travelling
Meandering
Just keep wandering
Slow travelling

FAWM 2020

Slow Travelling

Hobbyist songwriter.  

Most of my output is created during the FAWM and 50/90 songwriting challenges.  I write songs in many genres - eclectic musical taste is reflected in my songwriting - but tend to draw heavily on early 80s synthpop as my fallback influence.

I use Studio One as my DAW.
