A Christmas song from someone who doesn't celebrate Christmas

- Lyrics -

On this foggy winter morning
I was riding on my bike
I don't believe in magic
But the world's a pretty sight

I hear cheerful people singing
I hear rustling in the trees
I see ferries on the water
Hiding in the gentle mist

Though I ain't got turkey dinners
Ain't got presents nor a tree
I still wish you a merry
Christmas Eve

[ukulele bridge]

Though I ain't got turkey dinners
Ain't got presents nor a tree
I still wish you a merry
Christmas Eve

Foggy Winter Morning

I was quite lonely and depressed, but then this melody came into my head and I felt calmer.
Same melody as Blue, but piano only.

Snow

Yes it's about Blåhaj in case you're wondering

- Lyrics -

It's a cozy night and I'm snuggling my thoughts away
Twas a stressful day and I need a way to drift away

Suddenly, I'm struggling to keep my fears at bay
After all, you cannot talk, you're just a children's toy

You've got blue skin body of polymer and sewn on eyes
Brings me back to the innocence of simpler times

Hold you softly in my arms, you’re never judging me
You're my only company, I'm desperately alone

[ instrumental ]

Hold you softly in my arms, you’re never judging me
You're my only company, I can’t do it alone

Desire for a Simpler Time

Blue

I took Kip's lyrics from the webcomic Duncan and Eddie and put them into song, adding my own to fill the blanks.

- Lyrics -

Quiet with you is warmer than a bonfire
Monochrome fur made my heart rate run high[1]
I am blushing now

Your calm presence is what I prefer
I can't stop thinking bout your black and white fur[2]
and your ponytail

Every day I look at you in awe
I’m to shy to tell you how I feel
Cause truth be told
I'm in love with you[3]

12 o'clock

I was inspired by a conversation with Reed in the game Goodbye Volcano High, about what the point of everything is if the world is gonna end. Why do we still care when we know life is temporary, a flash in a pan? Well, I don't know, but I have a song.
Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/We%20Are%20Here/

Lyrics

And so what if it's all just a dream
We still did the best we could
And so what if it's all temporary
We still lived the life we lived
And so what and so what and so what and so what if it's a dream we still had fun

And so what if it all ends right now
We still had the best of times
And so what if it all has no meaning
We were there and we had us
And so what and so what and so what and so what if it ends now we are right here

And so what if we don't leave a mark
We still live the here and now
And so what if no one knows our faces
We still have us in our hearts
And so what and so what and so what and so what if it ends now we are right here

So What if It's a Dream

We Are Here

Feeling like my life isn't my own. Kept under one minute for submission to a competition.

Lyrics

I am living life
Through someone else's eyes
This story's not my own
Never was my own

The paths that I can take
Have all been preordained
The choice was not my own
Never was my own

I am sick of what the world has thrown at me
I am breaking out, there are no rules

Someone Else

Don't Call (acoustic cover)

This is the first time I'm trying out an orchestral style, somewhat inspired by Sinatra-era songs.

Lyrics

Do you think about the past
All the things that could have been
Every fork in the road
Every path that I chose
And the person I became

Did I make a good choice
Or was the choice just easy
If I had another chance
If I had just one more glance
Would I do it all the same

There’s a puppet master behind the curtains controlling my every move
There’s a voice inside my head that always judges what I do
Can someone give me a sign cause I don't know what to do
I raise a glass to all that made me me

Fork in the Road

It's a cheesy song, so it uses the cheesiest chord progression known to mankind.

Chords: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Someday%20I%20Will%20Learn%20To%20Play%20The%20Guitar/

Lyrics

I ain't got a lot
But you deserve the world
I wanna give you all I can

I am not the sun
I'm not even the moon
How can I give you what you truly deserve

Someday I will learn to play the guitar
Serenade you with love songs all day long
Someday I will learn to sing the sweet songs
That I heard on the radio

If I had a brush
I'll paint you endlessly
Too bad I got no artist skills

How can I express
You mean the world to me
There's not enough words I could use

Someday I will learn to play the guitar
Serenade you with love songs all day long
Someday I will learn to sing the sweet songs
That I heard on the radio

Someday I Will Learn To Play the Guitar

This is what started it all

Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Song%20for%20a%20Lover%20I%20Haven’t%20Met/

Lyrics

Another love song on the radio
The sha la la la la and the woah-oo-oh
I know them all by heart, I can sing the tune
I'm just ain't got someone to sing it to

It's a song for a lover that I haven't even met
It's a song for another but they don't exist just yet
Its a song it's a song it's a song it's for someone
Someone really special that I hopefully will get to know

Another love song on the radio
The cheesy sounding one from long ago
The sickly sweet adjectives and loving verbs
If only there's someone who'll hear these words

It's a song for a lover that I haven't even met
It's a song for another but they don't exist just yet
Its a song it's a song it's a song it's for someone
Someone really special that I hopefully will get to know

Song for a Lover I Haven’t Met

In chapter 4, Naomi (as the secret admirer) mentions that if she were to write a song, it would be about how everyone sees colors differently. I took this and made it about Fang and Naomi's love, despite being very different.

[verse 1, Fang]
The blue that you see
Isn't the blue that I see
Cause baby you never see
Your pretty blue eyes

I am so far behind you
You've got your life made for you
What could I possibly do
To be by your side

[chorus]
We're living different lives
Seeing from different eyes
But in the end we see
The same clear blue sky

We're skilled at different things
We're living different dreams
But we are not as far
Apart as it seems

[verse 2, Naomi]
The red that I see
Isn't the red that you see
Cause darling you never see
The fire in my heart

You are as free as the wind
Catching your wings in the wind
How could I ever begin
To even take part

[chorus]  
We're living different lives  
Seeing from different eyes  
But in the end we see  
The same clear blue sky

We're skilled at different things  
We're living different dreams  
But we are not as far  
Apart as it seems

[bridge]
We're worlds apart
But what links us
Is what's inside our hearts

We're parallel but not so far apart

Together we are complements
We raise each other up

Together our colors blend to one

Don't Call

CW as this is about a friend's suicide attempt, as well as my own experiences

- Lyrics -

You said
The world is not like heaven
You said
You don't like the cards you're given

You said
There is no thing with feathers
You said
There is no point no more

When you cried to me that other night
I couldn't say a word
How could I save another one
When I couldn't save myself

When you scraped the gates of heaven
When you heard those trumpets burn
When you said you want another life

The pain
The pain it lasts forever
The pain
The pain it never stops

When I said to you I needed help
You just ignored my words
How could I rid this awful curse
When it's from within myself

When I scraped the gates of heaven
When I heard those trumpets burn
When I said I want another life

Gates of Heaven

This is a remake of a song from 6 years ago. Slightly tweaked lyrics, now with melodica.

I was on a flight to Scotland. The weather was rainy and miserable, but then the plane poked above the clouds, and in that moment, everything looked magical. The clouds looked like a watercolour painting.
I held on to this chord progression for quite a while, but it's this moment that I came up with the melody and lyrics for it.

- Lyrics -
Soaring over watercolored skies
Splash of misty cotton soaked in dyes
Pristine azure skies that stretch out into infinity
Following the line leading right where I want to be

If I chose a moment froze in time
Nothing close to this is as divine
Share a special thought that shall echo through the endless sea
Sing a simple song that will guide me though the times with you

Could it be
We're standing hand in hand together
Could it be
You promised that we'll stay together
I can't believe
We're eye to eye and heart to heart in sync

We'll spend the rest of life together
The vows we said shall last forever 
There is no one of us
Without both of us
Together
We'll spend the rest of life together

You and me
With love and care support each other
You and me
We'll find the little joys in life
I can't believe
We're face to face and lips to lips in sync

We'll spend the rest of life together
The vows we said shall last forever 
There is no one of us
Without both of us
Together
We'll spend the rest of life together

Our Lives

My interpretation of what the song Get Bent Jimmy Two-Face, a song written by Trish in the game Goodbye Volcano High, would've sounded like

- Lyrics -

Get bent Jimmy Two-Face
Get bent Jimmy Two-Face
Get outta my life
Get outta my life

Smart ass, dumb ass
Open a can of whoop ass
You dare fuck with me good sir
I'm putting you on blast

You think you can fool me
Tough luck
I ain't getting fooled by a fool like you
You think you are sexy
Well damn
You should try having some less self esteem

Get bent Jimmy Two-Face
Get bent Jimmy Two-Face
Get outta my life
Get outta my life

1, 2, 3, 4
Why are you still wanting more
I know you're just a fuckboy
Baby we've been there before

You said that you loved me
Tough luck
You should've thought twice 'fore you tried that line
You said that you're sorry
Fuck that
I've seen better lies in the New York Times

Get bent Jimmy Two-Face
Get bent Jimmy Two-Face
Get outta my life
Get outta my life
Get outta my life

Get Bent Jimmy Two-Face

for my partner Dreesh

- Lyrics -
I know you're in love with me
With you right here I'm at ease
I'm so honored you chose me
When there's more fish inside the sea

I know I've been hurt before
Don't know what I'm looking for
I thought I'd just be alone
Until you showed up at my door

I won't run this time
I'll enjoy this time with you
I'm not scared this time
I want to spend time with you

I won't run this time
I enjoy this time with you
I'm not scared this time
I want to spend time with you

Time With You

still working on my mental health

- Lyrics -

I hate my brain
I hate this body I am in
I hate these thoughts
I hate the chaos from within

If I could control
The fears and anxieties
If I could make peace
And calm the storm in my mind

I'm getting up
I'm killing all the doubt within
I'll give myself
The love and care that I deserve

It's hard to ignore
The fears and anxieties
If I could reach out
And get the help that I need

Still Here

just because they can't find anything wrong with my body doesn't make the pain go away

Chords: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Invisible/

- Lyrics -

What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
But why do I have to be strong
What isn't present cannot hurt me
Then why do I still feel the pain

The small things
They add up
Bit by bit
They eat through me

There's nothing here
For you to see
For you to see

The pain I feel
Belongs to me
Only for me

I spent so long looking for answers
But all the leads just turned up blank
Why did I put in so much effort
My pleas all fell on deafened ears

If all this
Is normal
Then tell me
Why does it hurt

There's nothing here
For you to see
For you to see

The pain I feel
Belongs to me
Belongs to me
Only for me

There is no rhyme there is no reason
There is no honor in this fight

My friend @osvaldo-64 asked me to collab on a song for his anniversary. This is my original draft before it got produced into its final version. The lyrics contain various references to their relationship.

Final song: https://soundcloud.com/osvaldo-64/where-id-be-1-year-anniversary

Lyrics

Across the ocean
Nine thousand as the hawk flies
We're just two lovebirds sitting back to back

Two different countries
It's hard to know how you feel
I want to keep you safe within my wings

I know the first time can be quite nerve-racking
But I will hold you to the end

I wonder where I'd be if I've not found your love
Would I be wandering, tryin' to find something to cling to
I wonder where we'd be now that we've found our love
Could we now push through all the problems we'd run into

Across through spacetime
As gravity defying
We're just a cat and hawk in hyperspace

Two different species
One golden feather binds us
I want to fly with you aboard my wings

I know the journey is still long and winding
But I will be there 'till the end

I wonder where I'd be if I've not found your love
Would I be wandering, tryin' to find something to cling to
I wonder where we'd be now that we've found our love
Could we now push through all the problems we'd run into

I love, the way, we lift each other up
I love, the way, we make each other laugh
I love, the way, you're passionate about stuff
I love you dear

I wonder where I'd be if I've not found your love
Would I be wandering, tryin' to find something to cling to
I wonder where we'd be now that we've found our love
Could we now push through all the problems we'd run into

Where I'd Be

Where I'd Be (Robin's Version)

My mind is always wandering
I am constantly

Oh I

I just want a bit more certainty
I just wanna know if

I don't have the answers

Yet there is no question
We will see this through

I don't have the answers

A parody Christmas song I did as part of the Charity Fur Christmas II album by @bassdogsongs
The version on the album is actually mixed by someone who knows their stuff, so go buy it on Bandcamp. All profits go to The Trevor Project.

- Lyrics -

Have yourself a furry little Christmas
Let your paws be light
Next year all our haters will be out of sight

Have yourself a yiffy little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year all our drama will be miles away

Once again, on FA and MUCKs
There'll be golden showers or vore
Faithful friends who are deer or bucks
Will cum into us once more

Someday soon, we all will room together
If the con allows
Until then, we'll have to cuddle through somehow
So have yourself a furry little Christmas now

Have Yourself A Furry Little Christmas

Saying goodbye to 2025

This song was inspired by a street musician in Cork who played bells with his feet while playing guitar and singing.

- Lyrics -

Finished work for the year
And I'm contemplating
How I'm doing with life
Am I happy where I am

It's another new year
And I can't help wondering
What is waiting for me
Could I do it all again

Will this finally be my year
Filled with endless possibilities
Will this finally be the time
When I'm right at where I want to be

My Year

A track I wrote during an English exam. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what this song is about, somewhere between subconsciousness and dreaming.

Demo 1 was completely edited on an iPad. For this version I replaced the vocal track, and balanced the track levels with a computer.

-----Lyrics-----
Is this real
Is this where I'm supposed to be
An endless sea of possibility
Where nothing here makes sense to me

Don't wake
Don't fall
Come with me and I'll let you do whatever you please

It's wild
It's free
It's danger that will drive you to insanity

I feel like I'm dreaming

I'm Dreaming (Demo 2)

- Lyrics -

When I was a young girl
I wished on magic
Nothing in the world is
Too far for me

The growing stack
Of school and work and obligations
Am I ever good enough

I looked into the night sky
I saw the constellations
The hunter, vase, and fishes
Told me their stories

I looked into the night sky
I saw a shooting star
I closed my eyes and wished for
Magic and wonder

What has my life become
Go back
Can I be a child again
Go back

I looked into the night sky
I saw the constellations
The hunter, vase, and fishes
Told me their stories

I looked into the night sky
I saw a shooting star
I closed my eyes and wished for
Magic and wonder
