Written many moons ago, whilst holidaying in a forest. Recorded upon my return via a looper phone app.
I have recently dug this song out to use as part of an art therapy project.
It is nothing like my other work, but I like it's childlike qualities.

Echada

An early 2018 demo of a song written for a friend of a friend, who was struggling with their mental health. The lyrics have since been altered to encompass my own ongoing mental health struggles.

V1

SOMEONE DIDN'T LOOK AFTER YOU, THE WAY THEY SHOULD DO
YOU RAN AWAY
IF THEY TAKE THE TIME TO FIND, WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR MIND,
WOULD YOU STAY?

CHORUS

IT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE
SOMETIMES IT'S EASIER TO RUN
IF ONLY I KNEW,
WHAT I COULD DO TO HELP YOU THROUGH
HELP YOU THROUGH

V2

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL, OR KNOW HOW YOU CAN HEAL,
BUT I CARE
I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE, TO LIVE YOUR LIFE,
WHEN YOU'RE SCARED

CHORUS

I WISH I COULD GO BACK IN TIME,
TO FIND YOU SOME PEACE OF MIND
IF ONLY THAT WERE TRUE,
YOU COULD GO BACK TO BEING YOU
BEING YOU

Bide My Time (demo)

I originally recorded this is 2017 but was never happy with the vocals. So, I removed all of the effects and double tracked all of the vocals. It is by no means perfect, as I honestly don't have the recording skills or patience, but it is fuckloads better than it was. I also tweaked the guitars. 
You're welcome...

V1

AND ANOTHER THING
ANOTHER THING TO ADD TO MY REMINDER LIST
THE LIST WHERE I WRITE DOWN THE THINGS I THINK I MISS
ALL THE THINGS I USED TO DO, BEFORE MY LIFE GOT SWITCHED

V2

IT'S ANOTHER WAY
ANOTHER WAY OF FEELING SHIT ABOUT MY DAY
THINKING OF A TIME WHEN IT WAS ALL OK
IN REALITY IT WASN'T ACTUALLY THAT WAY

CHORUS

WHEN I THINK ABOUT MY LIFE
WHEN I THINK ABOUT MY PAST
I AM LOOKING AT IT ALL, THROUGH A ROSY TINTED GLASS

IT'S NOT THAT IT WAS GREAT,
IT JUST WASN'T QUITE SO BAD
BAD

V1

AND ANOTHER THING
ANOTHER THING TO ADD TO MY REMINDER LIST
THE LIST WHERE I WRITE DOWN THE THINGS I THINK I MISS
ALL THE THINGS I USED TO DO, BEFORE MY LIFE GOT SWITCHED


V2

IT'S ANOTHER WAY
ANOTHER WAY OF FEELING SHIT ABOUT MY DAY
THINKING OF A TIME WHEN IT WAS ALL OK
IN REALITY IT WASN'T ACTUALLY THAT WAY

CHORUS

WHEN I THINK ABOUT MY LIFE
WHEN I THINK ABOUT MY PAST
I AM LOOKING AT IT ALL, THROUGH A ROSY TINTED GLASS

I'M GRIEVING FOR A LIFE,
THAT I NEVER REALLY HAD
HAD

AND ANOTHER THING
(IT JUST WASN'T QUITE SO BAD)
repeat the end




And Another Thing 2023

Now for some light relief. 
I thought I'd treat you all to a selection of voice messages sent to my partner.
The initial noise was the catalyst for what followed.
You're welcome.
Clips of these ridiculous noises will probably feature in my songs, at some point. 

Voice Message Hilarity

This demo is lacking bass, as I could not be fucked to record it yet. Once I have done so, I'll upload an updated version. 
Could I have taken longer and played the guitar better? Yes. Should I have taken more time over my vocals. Definitely. But, seriously, it's just a demo...

V1

HERE WE ARE, FACE TO FACE
I CAN TASTE EVERY LIE AS YOU SPIT IT
TELLNG ME, IT'S MY FAULT
WHILE YOU PICK AN EXCUSE FROM YOUR VAULT
TAKE THE BLAME, OWN YOUR SHIT
NOBODY'S PERFECT BUT, FUCK THIS!
WILL I BREAK?
WILL I BEND?
WILL YOU DEFEND YOUR ABUSE TO THE END?

CHORUS

MY HEART IN MY MOUTH, MY HEAD IN MY HANDS
NO MORE EXCUSES I DON'T GIVE A DAMN X2

V2

DAY HAS CALMED, EVENING TIME
I TRY TO ERASE ALL THE SHIT FROM MY MIND
IT WON'T WORK, IT'S ALL STILL THERE
DEEP BREATH IN WHILE I TRY TO PREPARE
I'VE PACKED MY BAG, I'VE LEFT MY KEY
SPARE ME THE GUILT TRIP, IT WON'T WORK ON ME
ZERO TRUST, NO RESPECT
SANITY HANGING ON BY A THREAD


FINAL CHORUS

MY HEART IN MY MOUTH, MY HEAD IN MY HANDS
NO MORE EXCUSES, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
MY HEART IN MY MOUTH, MY HEAD IN MY HANDS
NO MORE EXCUSES, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
MY HEART IN MY MOUTH, MY HEAD IN MY HANDS
YOU DN'T GIVE A DAMN THAT YOU MESSED UP MY PLANS
MY HEART IN MY MOUTH, MY HEAD IN MY HANDS
STAY OUT OF MY LIFE, I'VE HAD ALL I CAN STAND





Fuck This  (unfinished demo)

Blah blah blah. 
A rushed recording because I have no patience or knowhow. 
You get the idea.
It's a demo.

I mean, does this need a description?
