The guitar has a wonderful empathic quality in it's sound! the lyrics are beautifully expressed in the lovely and emotive vocal-great track!

Music mix of great styles of rock, great performance that accompanies a great voice.

Hard to imagine this as an acoustic ... maybe the intro!  So much power in you telling this story with an electric voice.  Beautiful song, Bethany!

ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
Words & Music Stephen Randall
A Bethany Sky Whitman production
Featuring Ramon Beiboer on lead guitar

When you can’t move up
And you can’t turn around
When the walls keep closing in
And the sky is falling down
And the sky is falling down

No matter where you turn
No matter where you run
When you shout out loud 
But you can’t be heard
When you have to stand your ground
You have to stand your ground

CHORUS
That’s where you want me
That’s where you need me
That’s where you got me
Between a rock and hard place

You can’t move forward
And can’t go back 
And the road is blocked ahead
And every green light turned to red
Every green light turned to red

When you’re standing on the ledge
And the voice in your head
Say don’t look down
But you still look down
You wanna jump and hit the ground
You wanna jump and hit the ground

CHORUS
That’s where you want me
That’s where you need me
That’s where you got me
Between a rock and hard place
That’s where you like me
That’s where you fight me
That’s where you right me
Between a rock and hard place

CHORUS
That’s where you want me
That’s where you need me
That’s where you got me
Between a rock and hard place
That’s where you like me
That’s where you fight me
That’s where you right me
Between a rock and hard place

Rock and a Hard Place

Sitting Down The Seaside

MAKES ME HAPPY
Words and Music Stephen Randall

When your heart aches
Harder than an earthquake
Sweeter than a milkshake
Softer than a snowflake

When the rain comes
She don’t see a grey sky
Dig her own goldmine
She make her own sunshine

CHORUS
No one loves her like I love her
No one ever could 
She makes me happy
She makes me happy
She makes me happy

Jump into a taxi
Grab a shot of coffee
Take her to a movie
Then maybe on to sushi

When the daybreaks
Making egg and pancakes
Asprin for her headache
Milk on her cornflakes
  
CHORUS
No one needs her like I need her
No one ever should 
She makes me happy
She makes me happy
She makes me happy

Solo

She makes me happy
She makes me happy
She makes me happy

She makes me happy
She makes me happy
She makes me happy

No one loves her like I love her
No one ever could 
She makes me happy
She makes me happy
She makes me happy
She makes me happy
She makes me happy
She makes me happy

Makes Me Happy

Angel Eyes, It's your love, sister why I need you

This song started as just a simple acoustic song and then I just couldn't stop myself lol... Unfortunately we have all been lied to at one point or another in our lives and every lyric in this song is what I see and feel through lies. Hope you enjoy it my SC family and thanks bunches for your listens and comments...Believe in the possibilities!!! xoxox

"Burning Out" written & performed by Bethany Sky Whitman 

The silent thoughts that break the day
The stone that carries your name
Flowers in the shade
The light out in the haze
And I'm burning out....

Candles flicker through the silk
The voice that gives me chills 
Stranger in the dark
A shadow from afar
And I'm burning I'm burning out
I'm burning out....

You lied to me
And I can see right through you
Your words are empty as your heart
You lied to me
And I can see right through you
Your words are empty as your heart
You cold nothing....

The breath I take with pain I've known
To ships that don't come home
Fire in the sun
I'm not the only one no
And I'm burning out....

Your eyes staring deep within 
A bedroom stained with sin
Cold is where I lay
Ashamed in misery 
And I'm burning I'm burning out
I'm burning out....

You lied to me
And I can see right through you
Your words are empty as your heart
You lied to me
And I can see right through you
Your words are shaking me to the core.... cold nothing
You lied to me
And I can see right through you
Your words are empty as your heart.....cold nothing
You lied to me
And I can see right through you
Your words are empty as your heart
You cold nothing
You cold nothing
You cold nothing....

PROPAGANDA
Words and Music Stephen Randall

Fake it till you make it
Bake that cake and take it to the bank
Don’t forget when you get there
Put me on your list of who to thank

Low life petty hustlers
Will try to line their pockets as they shake you down 
You’re smarter than those fools
You’re equipped with better tools they can’t take you down

BRIDGE
Where you going with that guitar on your back?
Don’t you know you that you can’t play it like that?
There’s a song out there with your name on it
But it escapes me it escapes me goddamit  

CHORUS
Lies lies lies lies lies
And propaganda
Don’t tell me lies lies lies lies lies
And propaganda
 
When you say that I can’t do it
That only makes you sound like a bore
When you say that I can’t have it
That only makes me want it even more

Well I just have to ask
Why the Lone Ranger wore a mask
When Tonto’s face was shown
As a boy I was confused
As a man I’m now amused
But I still don’t know

Where you running with that ticket and your stack?
Don’t you know this train don’t run on that track?
There’s a place out there with your name on it
But it escapes me it escapes me goddamit  

CHORUS 
Lies lies lies lies lies
And propaganda
Don’t tell me lies lies lies lies lies
And propaganda

Propaganda

WRONG WAY
Words and Music Stephen Randall

I heard it on the morning news
Something ‘bout things are getting better
Maybe I just heard it wrong
Maybe I got confused

Sometimes it helps to turn away
Maybe they were talking ‘bout the weather
Maybe it’s the end of the world
Maybe it’s yours to choose

CHORUS
Oh, going the wrong way
Down a one way street
And the righteous pray
So that they can cheat
Oh, going the wrong way
Oh, going the wrong way
And they’ve stolen victory
From the jaws of their defeat

Want to know what’s breaking through?
The smell of concrete after rain and thunder
Maybe we are bored with life
Maybe that’s just an excuse 

Let’s pack a bag and go and play
Take your shiny boots and mohair sweater
I want to see the ocean again
Maybe I’ve brought the wrong shoes 

CHORUS
Oh, going the wrong way
Down a one way street
And the righteous pray
So that they can cheat
Oh, going the wrong way
Oh, going the wrong way
And they’ve stolen victory
From the jaws of their defeat

Want to know what you’ve got to lose?
Maybe every fool will pull you under
Maybe we are bored with lies
Maybe that’s just their abuse 
 
CHORUS
Oh, going the wrong way
Down a one way street
And the righteous people pray
So that they can cheat
Oh, going the wrong way
Down a one way street
Watch the priviledge crumble
Welcome to the new elite

Wrong Way

After years being in bands, some kinda known, some kinda not, and playing with tons of musicians some very known, some completely not, and after being really prolific, often writing a song or two a week, some good, some not, I finally emerged from my shell of complete laziness and put together this album with my friends at the Next Room UK and a song produced with my brother Stephen which took a few years. It's kinda alternative, it's kinda pop, kinda electronic, but above all it's real to me. It's how I feel. I hope you don't pigeon hole it, but most of all I hope you feel it and enjoy it for what it is.

Part of me

Lying Down

All Your Sleep

Thanks to Bethany Sky Whitman @bethany-sky-whitman for her production and arrangement help.

GO BIG OR GO HOME
Words and Music Stephen Randall

Every day is Sunday
So I’ll stay in bed ‘till noon
I’ll make some plans to call my friends
In the afternoon
But my motivation so to speak
Needs a little shake
‘Cos the world won’t wait forever
There are plenty on the make

I know you know that I know
The creeps and the geeks and the freaks will steal the show

CHORUS
So hold me like you used to
And tell me so I know
Unwind me if I’m going too fast
And wind when I’m slow
Oh slap me to my senses
If I’m feeling low
Go big or go home
Go big or go home

Even if I’m not the most
Energetic type
I’ll be the first to fight for you
I’ll be the first to strike
Truth be told I love you
I don’t mean that to sound trite
But just because I love you
Doesn’t always make you right

I know you know that I know
The creeps and the geeks and the freaks will steal the show

CHORUS
So hold me like you used to
And tell me so I know
Unwind me if I’m going too fast
And wind when I’m slow   
Remind me ever so delicately
There’s room for me to grow
Go big or go home
Go big or go home

CHORUS
So hold me like you used to
And tell me so I know
Unwind me if I’m going too fast
And wind when I’m slow
Oh slap me to my senses
If I’m feeling low
Go big or go home
Go big or go home

So hold me like you used to
And tell me so I know
Unwind me if I’m going too fast
And wind when I’m slow   
Remind me ever so delicately
There’s room for me to grow
Go big or go home
Go big or go home

Hello to my SC Family xox
Work can become all consuming please feel free to email me through SC any of your tracks that I have missed and I will listen ASAP... Can't wait to hear your new songs! xoxLOVExox

I have been creating art and music since I was about 7 years old. I don't really know if I can say it's some kind of escape from reality for me or if it's just a part of what makes me feel whole and alive. What I can say is that I am driven to create without boundaries.

I am a self taught artist & musician from Fort Lauderdale Florida curently living in LAS VEGAS :-0 where I am a full time artist for a living. When I am not painting, I love to play guitar and write songs. I started playing guitar when I was very young but unfortunately my Mom didn't think little girls should play guitar so my big brother was the one to get the lessons. Thanks to my Pop he would steal my brother’s guitar every time my Mom wasn't looking and let me JAM..:-)

“More than you need to know” :-)
~Love to jump up and down on my bed with my guitar!
~I am pathetic at burping just cant do it loud and it pisses me off!
~Love milk chocolate not dark!
~I CANT SpELL!
~Fuck is my favorite curse word!
But I also like using the phrases Ass Muncher, Fuck Nugget & Dick Head as well!
~I am a Tomboy!
~I can recite the entire old “Lee press on nails” commercial word for word!
~ I STILL cry every time the Bitch takes Toto away from Dorothy! 
~I have a small callus on my left pinkie because I can’t stop chewing on it!
~I love to just sit up in a tree and stare at the clouds and make shapes!
~I actually enjoy washing my car!
~Surfing, fishing, scuba diving, camping, cooking, dancing, dancing, dancing & dancing!
~When no one is looking I like to pretend I am Angus Young with my guitar cranked!
~Rush is my favorite band everrrr!
