I composed this piece as the theme music for my self produced video for the Newcastle based letting agency The Erasmus Living Experience - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHYDWsPK1-0

I aimed for this piece to provoke an introverted thinking state that would cast the mind into the future possibilities of friends to be gained and memories to be made during a time away from one's home country.

All composition, arranging and post-production by yours truly. 
Recording by Mark Reed and myself.
Performers on the recording include:

Rory Newell - Drum kit and vibraphone,
Niles Krieger - Violin,
Chris Hutchinson - Electric guitar,
Myself - Electric bass guitar

Originally I had composed this piece to be used as a bed track for The Erasmus Living Experience video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHYDWsPK1-0). Upon finishing the track and placing it on the video I realised that it didn't fit the overall theme and vibe of the video - it made it feel too much like a telemarketing channel, so I scrapped it. 

I've uploaded it here as an addition to my sound library. I may use it in the future, but I'd be happy for others to use it - just drop me a message.

Inside Us

1 ~ Fly:

Somewhere inside my mind,
She excites the warning signs,
Pieces of a broken past,
Pull on my half heart,

Somewhere inside my head,
Voices shout 'you've made your bed',
As we lay chest to chest,
We make out our hearts beat less,

And I know when she goes,
Her distance may fade,
Like light of a flame,
She dissipates,

As the morning sky cycles next from night,
I lay sleepless by her side,
In the hope the sky denies her right to fly,
Just so she is by my side,

Though I know she is sincere,
I have made my feelings clear,
Through my eyes she always shines,
These ideas in my mind,

And I know when she goes,
Her distance may fade,
Like light of a flame,
She dissipates,

As the morning sky cycles next from night,
I lay sleepless by her side,
In the hope the sky denies her right to fly,
Just so she is by my side,

As the morning sky cycles next from night,
I lay sleepless by your side,
In the hope the sky denies your right to fly,
Just so you are by my side.

2 ~ From a Whisper to a Howl:

As I reach towards your hand,
I see a flash of light,
That blinds my honest side,

No two ways that my values are colder,
To throw you aside for my own sacrifice,

You gave me a reason that you cannot explain,
Too late were the stories that you could not be tamed,
You gave me a reason that you cannot explain,
Too late were the stories that you could not be tamed 

In hindsight all I need was a vision of you,
From the past to the truth (from the past to the truth),
The proof to me that you were nothing of loss, 
Was the lack of my doubt over the moral cost,
The feeling inside when there's nothing to lose

You gave me a reason that you cannot explain,
Too late were the stories that you could not be tamed,
You gave me a reason that you cannot explain,
Too late were the stories that you could not be tamed.

From a Whisper to a Howl

This is the result of using nothing other than: the sound of clicking my fingers, a glockenspiel, and an exceptional amount of plug-ins. 

In this piece I was mainly experimenting with putting the original sound through a lot of delay plug-ins in order to keep the sound going for longer than it naturally should. I'm not sure I like it yet.

Journeying Through Mirror Infinity

Instinct

3 ~ Circles:

You don't have to say,
Anything that'll compromise you day to day,
Just show me which way to turn,
Or we'll be walking these circles until we learn,

Where to go,
Where to go,
Learn where to go,
Learn where to go,

Deep breath hold off the truth,
Sealing your lips as I'm staring back at you,
Your eyes an empty room,
Searching to find if you have a feeling to,

Learn where to go,
Learn where to go,
Learn where to go,
Learn where to go.

Circles

6 ~ Subside:

A mourning light fills her room,
Her mind walks through what she plans to do,
Erase her face, and leave no trace,
Like she didn't exist anyway anyway,

As light subsides leaving night behind,
The darkness reflects her mood,
A spark ignites, ideas gripping tight,
This time she'll see it through,

Words in ink transcribe her heart,
She swallows fate and she fuels the spark,
She climbs the stairs, she crawls to bed,
Until my eyes seal shut I'll always see her there,

As light subsides leaving night behind,
The darkness reflects her mood,
A spark ignites, ideas gripping tight,
This time she'll see it through.

Subside

7 ~ Laid to Rest:

Just put one foot in front of the other,
And go on home and meet with the others,
Your golden glow is a contrast,
Here on the ground,

Cold and white, the Christmas before you,
Took your path of flight,
I wish this time would repeat,
I wish we'd spent more time to speak,

Before you stepped out of the doorway,
I hope you stopped and turned to look our way,
And held the truth close to your heart,
That we love you for who you are,

Just put your head down to rest,
Just put your head down to rest,
You closed your eyes for the final time,
You made your choice so I'll say goodnight,
Just put your head down to rest,

My memory works like a rerun,
Round and round again,
Thoughts of you they repeat,
I wish we'd spent more time to speak,

Just put your head down to rest,
Just put your head down to rest,
You closed your eyes for the final time,
You made your choice so I'll say goodnight,
Just put your head down to rest.
