Chris Rouck & Reilly Glass - Man Or Muppet (Cover)

Something I made right after leaving covid isolation. Still felt isolated and lost, and this was a really low point for me. I only slowly started getting better, but throwing this song together helped me get my thoughts out into the open and away from myself.

Too Far Gone

I saw this video of Stephen Colbert dancing to this song and felt the need to *embellish* it. Enjoy.

King of Glory

A song I made in an evening. I may redo the vocals at some point, I was singing quietly because my roommates had people over and they could 100% hear me the entire time I was recording the vocals lol

This is one of the first times I've really sat down and mastered a song. I had no idea what it meant to "master" a song, but after mixing it with the equipment I have here at college, I did some research and mastered it too. It made a huge difference! It actually sounds like a song now (at least to me). I'm sure I'll look back on this and hear all the mistakes I made but for now I'm happy with my progress in terms of mixing and mastering.

--- Lyrics:
Face it when I tell you, I do not lie
But I need you now more than ever
Don't give up on me!
By now you're headed for the door, ready to fly.
Ground yourself or take me with you,
but if you choose to go, I'll miss you.

Fixing pieces of myself
Close my wounds with super glue
I'll never be enough for you
Trying not to fall apart without you, no

But what do you know? If I take my time -
What do you know, I might find my stride.
Maybe I can be the one to fly.
Baby, I see it more and more,
Pick my wings up off the floor
I'll push back on the wind and soar (Liftoff. Three, two)
Telling you now...

Face it when I tell you, I do not lie,
That I need you now more than ever
Don't give up on me!
By now you're headed for the door, ready to fly.
Ground yourself or take me with you,
but if you choose to go, I'll miss you.

I'll Miss You

I've really been enjoying listening to video game soundtracks, especially Zelda. This song is heavily inspired by that, Zora's Domain (night) in particular.

Depths

I get a lot of inspiration from listening to music made for Persona, especially the more mellow ones. I also enjoy this kind of style, not 100% sure where to place it but it's a style I've dabbled in before.

I know the vocals aren't mixed too well but it's the best I could do. I'm still learning! And the songs I upload are mostly just practice anyway, I don't feel like they need to be perfect.

--- Lyrics:
Daffodils in my waiting room
Fish are swimming high above the TV sets now
Pleasant sleep is all I need to make my spirits bright,
but strangers by my side are telling me to wake up

Cold (cold, cold)
Waiting for my days to follow suit
As clock hands spin around me like the moon
Phases left behind as I sit back and hit rewind
and watch myself get carted in

Back to one, the big day
As they crowd around and cart me away
Purple flowers in your hair
I knew that you wouldn't care
Cause my daffodils are anointed in second-hand disappointment
Writhing as they do, they sit back and watch the view
I see it too...

Watch me implode!
Take what I owe!

Daffodils

I've been singing bass in the choir at Sunday Masses for the Catholic Campus Ministry at my college for the past couple years, and I always wanted to try my hand at singing an entire arrangement. This song has been stuck in my head forever and never gets old, so I figured it would be good to try out :) I had to drop the soprano part down an octave, but hey it sounds kinda cool that way

Original arrangement by James E. Moore Jr. (US, 1951)

Irish Blessing (SATB)

Lyrics:

Time will tell if I'll stay here crawling
I'm giving what I can just to meet your demands
It's the same old story again and again, but
When it's my heart you're breaking
Time stands still and waters flow

("Give me another chance") When time stands still and waters flow
("Time with another man") I guess I'm walking on my own
("I think it's time you know") You never once apologized
("I gotta let you go") That's why it hard to say goodbye

[instrumental]

Hard days surround me
Didn't think I would get here
Wounds out in the open
Shattered ways of coping
Clouds all in my mind, left my conscience behind
It's like nothing's real

I'll just throw away my insecurities
I'll fly away
As tears roll down my face...

("Give me another chance") When time stands still and waters flow
("Time with another man") I guess I'm walking on my own
("I think it's time you know") You never once apologized
("I gotta let you go") That's why it hard to say goodbye

("Give me another chance") Give it to me
("Time with another man") I'm so deserving
("I think it's time you know") You know what I want
("I gotta let you go")

Hard to Say Goodbye

Hard To Say Goodbye (Instrumental)

(this was made for practice in an evening)

I've been coming up lately
Asking if you want to date me
But it's bittersweet cause when I look at you
I can't bear to breathe it's insatiable.
Don't wanna talk about it...
Snoopin' down on the block like I'm a step addict
Checking watch, it's not clock, I'm a step addict
But I'm needing an up cause I'm down

Hit me up, girl, cause I know
You've been down since 24 hours
can you step outside?
Touch down cause I wanna know that you're alive now

Two-step do you love me?
Bit sudden but I operate ~suddenly~
First class on the ship that sailed
And I just wanna know that you and I together bailed, yeah.

First Class on a Ship That Sailed

Just a little ditty I made a while back
I remixed the Andy Williams version of "Sleigh Ride"

Afraid Of Change

I heard this groovy default ringtone on my old Android phone and decided to make a remix of it. The beginning is just the ringtone with no remixing for dramatic effect ;)

Steppin Out Remix

Here I upload some of my musical ideas and practice songs. Like a musical sketchbook, but public. This is also where all my old ideas go to die. Enjoy!
