this piece of music is in response to the 'blue' theme on www.soundshoots.com
here's the blurb:

hi there, this is my track for the 'blue' theme. i chose this piece of music as i felt the lyrics reflect the idea of the deep blue sea with their metaphorical use. it is a song about feeling lost and at the same time searching for a new beginning. i actually wrote this song a few years ago whilst at uni, it was a transitional point in my life and i really didn't know where i was going to end up, like a message in a bottle floating in the open seas. it's a bit of a downer but certainly not feelings that are reflected in my life now! i reworked the drums on the track to push them through the mix a bit, i also decided the guitars could relax and sit behind the mix! i worked this one on headphones and personally feel that is the nicest way to listen to it! hope you enjoy and looking forward to other peoples responses to the theme!

"static lives merge with broken dreams,
the tide comes in.
we are drowning, in open seas."

 peace

The End

this song was written in response to the 'adrenaline' theme on www.soundshoots.com

bad dreams, running in my mind. 
no sleep, i pin open my eyes. 
falling further this time. 
reason, i left it all behind. 
nightmare, i can't believe alarm. 
i fell so far into the void. 

light will brake or distort. 
understanding exponential. 
inside of our hearts. 
adrenaline is stirring. 

now we set forth, break free of the coil. 

striking colour in mirrors, 
lucid as fire but burdened, 
a show of force that is empty. 
the stare was burning, 
my soul was dormant, 
the specter that i feared. 

bad dreams, running in my mind. 
no sleep, i pin open my eyes. 
falling further this time. 

this song is about sleep paralysis. i was trying to convey the feeling that you get from this with the guitars and words. if anyone has ever had it they'll know it's a pretty scary experience! i unfortunately suffer from it quite a bit and one thing that certainly stands out is the massive (negative) adrenaline rush you get when you manage to wake up! then you know there isn't going to be much sleep for the next couple of hours! hope you enjoy, peace.

written for the 'homesick' theme on www.soundshoots.com

this is my track for the 'homesick' theme. it is a story about correspondence of love during wartime. the idea of a person not only missing the one they love and the life that surrounds them but also having to be there, for the most part, against their will is a part of war that i'd never really thought about until talking to my aunt about the letters that were sent between my grandfather and grandmother whilst he was away serving. they all gave up normality in the hope that our future would be. peace

Don't tell me how to be happy, fake smile
399 postage paid.
Exploit life like they do.
Run, scream, kick, you need to.
Be yourself not a clone.

But don't you think it's funny how...

I think I think a lot like you, nerve ending and brain tissue.
Well at least I know it's all in my head.
