Name: Through The Universe (Bedroom Demo) by Alex J. O'Connor
Duration: 3 min 7 s
Description: Definitely more of an idea than a 'demo', I'm certainly not planning on doing anything with this I just thought I'd post it up because yolo right?

This was made by banging and scratching random parts of my desk and recording it into garageband. In a few hours I went from hitting my workspace to adding guitar and finally vocals to creating a small homage to a recent tragedy. 

Written and performed by Alex J. O'Connor.

gathering sticks for a nest (piano version)

I was feeling pretty down when I wrote this song last year. To me, the song is pretty upbeat but deep down it’s  capturing the feeling of hopelessness. My goal currently is to get permanent residence here in Canada by doing music. There’s no step by step process that’s laid out for obtaining that and it’s apparently really difficult. I’ve been told to just get a normal job many times. However, it’s not that easy. I want to do music while I’m still young. Because of this, It’s pretty stressful always. However I am extremely grateful that I’m doing something I really enjoy.

On My Side

i wrote this and sang it!!!! certified certifiable guaranteed guaranteeable!!!!!

lyrics:
how do you get lost in an unfamiliar way 
and feel okay
but how could you forget what you saw that day 
that made you want to stay

how does it feel that you're never gonna see
if your dreams turn out the way you wanted them to be
but don't put the blame on me

all i know is one thing, maybe two
but for the rest and the best i haven't a clue
all i know's i don't know, man, i don't know what to do
cos i never thought i'd ever be confused

i thought i was immune
all this time I've been a fool

how could you lose track of time and find yourself all grown
ain't that a way to go
how could you expect to know the things you never learned
i was stupid, now it shows, now i know

and I'm never gonna see if my dreams turn out the way i wanted them to be
maybe that's reality

all i know

not the best but i recorded this when i was feeling overwhelmed with everything going on in the world right now. this song always makes me feel like it's worth staying to fight another day and somehow things will be okay in the end. hold onto hope if you've got it ❤️

lyrics

we could try to kid ourselves until
it isn't funny anymore
we could keep trying till we forget what 
the truth is anymore

run the extra mile but you can't seem to win
say you're sure when you can't be more uncertain

we could try to keep pretending that 
this is something worth staying for
we could keep lying till we forget what
the truth is anymore

play the records over and over till they break
give nothing back when you take

maybe it's time to give it all up
baby aren't you tired of keeping all this up
we could try and end up just the way we began
get fed up, call it quits, and start all over again

We Could Try (ft. carlo de luna)
