Lyrics:

He used to say I had lemon lips,
Hard to resist my bitter kiss,
Spent hours staring into my eyes,
Didn't bother to say goodbye.

He put our love on trial,
Black-out drinking was his style,
The Maker's Mark was the judge,
I chaperoned, but held no grudge.

Our love was like a broken vase,
The one he threw at my face,
Tore off my panties that very night,
And I never felt more alive.

Chorus:

We could really hurt each other, but...
We had enough passion to start the place on fire,
The love we made drowned me in desire.
If I had known the fortune I found in you,
I would have thought twice, before I was untrue.

Invited out for drinks with a friend,
So much more, I can't pretend,
Nothing waiting at home for me,
Only silence and misery.

Made a mistake, I can't take it back,
Thought he had everything that you lack,
Now I can see I was such a fool,
Threw it away and broke the rule.

You're gone forever I can't amend,
Left this world, we weren't even friends,
Wish we could talk one more time,
Only see you in my mind.

Repeat Chorus

I wish I could call you, but you can't pick up,
Your house key still hangs by the key to my truck,
I see all your paintings every time that I wake up,
Still wear all the t-shirts that you didn't pack up.

Repeat Chorus

He used to say I had lemon lips,
Hard to resist my bitter kiss,
Spent hours staring into my eyes, 
Never got (didn't bother) to say goodbye...

Dreaming Outloud

Bitter Kiss

Bitter Kiss (feat. Sarah Gilbert)

This track is the story of the battle between real me and rock n roll pseudonym :p

AROUND
I'm perceived to have a good life
Misunderstood by everyone around
What a gallant war knight
Briefly standing firm as chaos it comes
Around around around around around

Somethings are to watch but not touch
Can I offer you a flesh strip for a pound?
Fancy wiggle of a sold crutch
"Hey I'm free and up for anything that's
Around around around around around"

What's that written on the table?
Says the same as the whispering sound
I'm paranoid and I'm unstable
And the voices in my head they go
Around around around around around

Around

How to Ride a Camel

snowflakes gently fall
cold winter’s pale sakura
I envy the birds

Towards That Mere Semblance

A section (piano melody, bass, piano, mallets piano and field recording backing tracks)
B section (piano melody is routed to a percussion sample bank, randomly triggering percussive sounds, backing tracks continue)
A section (piano melody returns over backing tracks)

For this challenge @disquiet:
Step 1: There’s a now famous quote from the opening of the 2006 film The Prestige. It goes as follows. Give it a read:

“Every magic trick consists of three parts – or acts. The first part is called the Pledge. The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird, or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it – to see if it is, indeed, real. You know: unaltered, normal. But of course … it probably isn’t. The second act is called the Turn. The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now, you’re looking for the secret, but you won’t find it, because of course you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn’t clap yet. Because making something disappear isn’t enough. You have to bring it back. That’s why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call the Prestige.”

Step 2: This arc, moving from Pledge to Turn to Prestige, can be read as a take on the classic ABA structure, in which a theme is introduced, then something else occurs, and then the piece returns to where it began.

Step 3: Compose and record a piece of music that takes the process described in The Prestige as its blueprint.

Original Lyrics by Tony Harris (below)

I SAW HER WALKIN' DOWN THE HALL
THE PRETTIST GIRL OF THEM ALL
SHE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT ME
WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE

I ADMITT THAT I WAS SHY
A VERY QUITE KIND OF GUY
WHY DIDN'T SHE LOOK MY WAY
ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY

(CHORUS)
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK A PRETTY GIRL OUT
BELIEVE ME I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT
DON'T LET IT BE SOMETHING YOU'LL REGRET
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK A PRETTY GIRL OUT

WHY DIDN'T I TRY TO TALK TO HER
AND ASK FOR HER NUM-BER
WHY DIDN'T I GIVE IT A TRY
INSTEAD OF BEIN' SO SHY

THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO
WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY 
DON'T BE A SHY KIND OF GUY
I'M TRYIN' TO TELL YOU WHY

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(SOLO)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

SAW HER WALKIN' DOWN THE HALL
PRETTIEST GIRL OF THEM ALL
