im not great at singing, and can rarely be bothered to do second takes so hopefully the imperfections make it endearing?

Let You Go

a loose demo track from last week, just improvised mic and guitar with an overdub and a copious amount of muddy reverb, would have been better if i wasnt singing while playing at the same time as then id be able to do more with just the sound of the strings and redo the background-ish singing

theres a version with less reverb here: https://soundcloud.com/binthorn/error-columbae/s-26NkrOCWfgg?si=24b8f383d4b1481ca0e6c4df2654696f&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

a cover of one of my favourite mogwai songs - this version is without drums
here's the version with: https://soundcloud.com/binthorn/r-u-still-in-2-it-cover?si=76b88cf0239a4078a80b6d3adc81443b&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

r u still in 2 it (mogwai cover, no drums)

a simple cover of a Roy Montgomery song - well, the lyrics that is - theyre not the right chords or key (and even then the words not right haha, for some reason I heard it as ‘poem’ instead of ‘cold’ - but I like how it sounds anyway)

i was trying to learn the tab for red house painters 'grace cathedral park' and got distracted

heres the noisier demo version; https://soundcloud.com/binthorn/rec-20250124-18h01m44s-just-melacholy-rough/s-kry34MnTO5B?si=aeba44ae4c4347ae9a939c403860f850&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

just melancholy (roy montgomery cover)

non-layered version (just the voice memo from phone): https://soundcloud.com/binthorn/make-me-know-me/s-NelwbQO8asn?si=e51601b858644168a0c0254f20ecbe3c&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

i was singing but listening back it just sounds like humming, think its just the mic quality

these are not the words explicity as i usually write after:

and ill throw it away,
and ill throw it away,
see it flowing away
ive not grown into it
make this land reach me

im not whole yet
i still stow it away
is it trying to breach me?

im not holy
theres no whole to me
make me whole 
completely
show me how to reach this.

Ill not throw it away,
Ill not throw it away,
make me holy (teach me how to give)
please just hold me (teach me how to live)
please just hold me (ive so much to give)
please just know me (theres so much to live)

make me know me (teach me)

made from sampled vocals and a field recording

when the clouds break through
every rose turns blue
curved to shapes of you
gently falls into

every violent scream 
from the winding stream
turns my lips to blue
trembing next to you

when the tide comes in
my heart bleeds within
the setting sun turns blue
glow surrounding you

blue sun

you will miss me when i burn (palace music cover)

松下誠/Makoto Matsushita - SEPTEMBER RAIN (Japanese Version)

Im going to be moving some things around soon so tracks might disappear

i think ill probably keep the 'my grey leaving' ambient-shoegaze stuff here and move the other demos and random stuff (as bin/thorn) over to Nina as it has unlimited upload space, and has free streaming
