Great catchy vocal lyric track..great keyboard work..perfectly executed..captivating & passionate harmonization..excellent mix & recording production!

Ive written songs from the age of 15, now 62 and theres no way I could ever write to a script, thats a different kettle of fish. This is a super catchy indie/pop toon. As a song the chorus is hummingly hooky with fab arrangement. As a record it had great bottom end, fantastic counter melodies and superb vocal/harmonies. If it was played on mainstream radio you'd have a hit on your hands. And if you dont get through, Ill eat me hat! Brilliant work matey.

Very nice attention getting intro and opening.  Lovely vibe.  Excellent song in my opinion.

I have smiled all the way through this song, unbelievable catchy. What a fantasic chorous, what a fantastic production. I would give my arm to be able to write music like this!! Congratulations, my friend!  A masterpiece of a pop-song!!

A really great write David and great production. Jihnny

Another very catchy song. Brilliant arrangement. Tremendous stuff!

A different sound from d'Orkest. This track was recorded during a trip to French Guyana.

Lyrics

Sounds vain,
Bigging up my own brain.
Blame the world,
This status quo
The fake and fucked up reality show
I can't watch artificial grow
Without musical smells to make it go away
Life is art and art is life
Fake the steak for a weak minded right
Go live your FUD
Go live in pain
I'll sing real truth!
Get Soul gain!
From indie to metal to rock to rhythm and blues and jazz...
Just human algorithm

So make a style
Be a new way
Create a world that says new day
Create a world that honours history
Where artists spirits expand our mystery
These spirits are sad with all the fovia fake
Art 'aint random when a human make!
So regurgitate your souless take
This all sounds the same your AI bake
So grab an instrument and express real heart
(Guitars / Samplers / Keyboards / Saxophones... all music that is expressed whether that's banging rocks or playing a harp)

FUCK AI MUSIC
Ask your soul to prove it
Chuck the lazy loser... you!
You lost!
Now hear those waves where life is not the cost...

Make a style
Be a new way
Create a world that says new day
Create a world that honours history
Where artists spirits expand our mystery
These spirits are sad with all this fovia fucking fake
Art 'aint random when a human make!
So regurgitate your souless take
It all sounds the same this your AI bake
So grab an instrument and express
Your real heart mate

[EDIT: Slightly updated mix based on Spintunes judges' feedback.]

This is my entry for Round 3 of the "Spintunes" contest! The prompt/challenge was to "write and record a song that makes prominent and creative use of motivic development - a technique for creating extended melodies through repetition and variation of a short, memorable melodic fragment called a motive".

LYRICS

Waking up in purgatory
Isn’t where I thought I’d be
Aftertaste of argument
No that isn’t what I meant

And you do this every time
Just for a reaction
Yeah, you do this every time
Is it part of the attraction

Maybe you’ll go to prove that I need you
Maybe you’ll stay when I don’t believe you
Maybe you’re sweet, maybe you’re scary
Push me away only to tell me
Oh, don’t you want me anymore

What’s my motivation here
On a scale of one to fear
Weighing up the evidence
Isn’t making any sense

And it kills me every time
My heart on the pavement
Yeah it kills me every time
How you claim it’s an accident

Maybe you’ll go to prove that I need you
Maybe you’ll stay when I don’t believe you
Maybe you’re sweet, maybe you’re scary
Push me away only to tell me
Oh, don’t you want me anymore
Oh, don’t you want me anymore

I love it when you change
I love it when you change your
I love it when you change
I love it when you change your mind

Another day in purgatory
I guess that’s how it’s going to be
Our record’s playing on repeat
It’s never sounded so sweet

Maybe you’ll go to prove that I need you
Maybe you’ll stay when I don’t believe you
Maybe you’re sweet, maybe you’re scary
Push me away only to tell me
Oh, don’t you want me anymore
Oh, don’t you want me anymore

Don't You Want Me Anymore

Gone forever
Forever in my heart
Forever in my heart
Gone 
Forever…

I held on to you
So tight 
(To you)
So tight
(To you)
That the blood flooded your pretty face
I held on so hard so hard (to you)
To you
Turning you into a deep crimson red
Rich and dark
But 
You quickly turned into vinegar
Bitter and sharp
So now I must release you 
I release you (release you)
and you fade (you fade) away
Away
Away

Gone forever
Forever in my heart
Moments flood me
memories of goodbyes
Coming back again
And again 
Goodbyes
Goodbyes
If I could only get (just get)
Just for a peek backward
But you’re never there
Never there

Gone forever
Forever in my heart

Gone forever
Forever in my heart
Forever in my heart
Gone 
Forever…

fade away

Turns out Dusty never loved me
Eyes set wide & green just like a cat
Dirty blonde hair like rusty sunbeams
Pouring out of her ten-gallon hat

Turns out Dusty never loved me
Turns out it weren't that hard to figure out
Turns out everybody knew that 'bout Dusty
Just no one ever said it out loud

To Dusty, blue always looked orange
Some derangement of the chromophores
To Dusty the sea came in key lime torrents
Spewing lemon foam upon damson shores

Folk would say: "Aw, ain't the day just lovely!
Well now, what's ol' Dusty on about?"
Turns out blue always looked orange to Dusty
Just no one ever figured that out

No one tame goes by the name of "Dusty"
Well, at least nobody straight
I left while that green gaze was still just empty
Couldn't hang around to watch it fill with hate

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill, he's tryina hush me
Turns out everyone already figured out
Turns out everyone knew Dusty didn't love me
Just no one ever said it out loud
Oh everybody knew that 'bout Dusty
Just no one ever said it out loud.

Dusty

“I Still Play” is a personal piece from me, Krissie. I used to perform with a sax in my hands and a dream in my chest.. until life took a bite out of both. Illness changed everything, but it didn’t end my journey, it just sent me down a different road.

This song is for anyone who's had their plans shattered and their voice shaken. You don’t have to quit, just pivot.
Your path may shift, but the music?
It can still be yours. 🎷🖤✨

If you’re curious what that earlier road sounded like, here’s a raw live take from the rehearsal room days, no polish, just pure breath and instinct:

****Lyrics****

It started with a sax and a secondhand smile
Ten years deep in a dream we made worthwhile
Just friends and songs under birthday lights
No fame, just fire on those Saturday nights
I had a voice behind the sound
Helping others rise while I held the ground

But life don’t ask, it just arrives
A whisper first, then it rewrites lives
I woke up one day, and my body said no
To every rhythm I used to know
Now I create from a different place
And write through pain I can’t erase

But I still play, just in a different way
I build the world where someone else can sway
I lost the notes, but not the sound
The stories still find their way around
It’s not the path I thought I’d take
But it’s still a song I get to make

It’s still a song I get to make…

There’s grief in knowing some doors stay closed
In the weight of what your body never chose
But I won’t fold, I won’t erase
The fire that time can’t displace
I am more than what I’ve lost
I’ve paid the price, but not the cost

So if you’re out there, stuck in pause
If the world don’t clap, just take applause
From the words you write, the tracks you send
Your voice can echo without end

you’re not broken… just renamed…

There was a time I thought it ended here,
When I couldn’t lift the sax I held for years.
No more melodies, no more sound,
Just silence where my life was found.
But silence taught me something new,
That music never leaves, it just finds a different view.

I still play, through every beat I build
Every lyric traced from something I’ve felt
The stage has changed, the lights are new
But the soul of the song is still true
We bend, we burn, but we don’t break
We still make music, for our own sake

We still make music…
For our own sake…

So here’s my solo, made of light
From quiet studios and sleepless nights
No Saxophone in hand, but still I stay,
Because I still play.

I Still Play

Hazy Gaze Spaceman

We are many, many people on this earth who are angry at warmonglers who send missiles and bombs at innocent civilians. Have they seen a direct hit by a bomb on a little boy or girl?
Now they have to stop bombing!! Is there no one who can speak out??

The World Today

They walk between the ruins where they have lived before
they search for their dad and for their mum under the burning sun
It seeams to be a hopeless project
since concrete masses are blocking their way
but they never give up
but they never give up

The world is surprised that so many countries are
involved in  bloody wars which common people never asked for
it is innocent folks who suffer the most
they have not anything to say in those lands
where dictators rule
where dictators rule

We hope that some day peace and calm will prevail
in every single country on this globe with all these wonderful folks
and all of the dictators are retired at this point
and people are free to say what they want
and not end up in jail
and not end up in jail

Lyrics in Swedish

Världen idag

De går mellan ruinerna där de tidigare bott
De letar efter sin pappa och sin mamma under den brännande solen
Det verkar vara ett hopplöst projekt
eftersom betongmassor blockerar deras väg
men de ger aldrig upp
men de ger aldrig upp

Världen är förvånad över att så många länder är
inblandade i blodiga krig som vanliga människor aldrig bett om
det är oskyldiga människor som lider mest
de har ingenting att säga till om i de länder
där diktatorer styr
där diktatorer styr

Vi hoppas att fred och lugn en dag ska råda
i varje land på detta jordklot med alla dessa underbara människor
och att alla diktatorer är pensionerade vid det här laget
och att människor är fria att säga vad de vill
och inte hamna i fängelse
och inte hamna i fängelse

The World Today - 2025-06-29 18.27

lyrics:
I never thought that you would leave
I wore it right here on my sleeve
The wind is blowing though this barely staked out ground
The tents are flapping and the thunders growing loud
I am not reasonable
It was predictable
You’re unbelievable

Im singing songs with all the voices in my head
Theres a family choir above us now
When Ive finished analysing everything you said
I’ll mount the stage and take a bow
Ancestors are judging us
Scientists will study us
Loveless and ruderless
Your unbelievable

I don’t want to cry
I was born to fight
Just not tonight

Unbelievable

Darkness
Silence
They both seem to fit

Why do I think
That no one
Will ever care

Why do I think
That no one
Will ever listen

Find your power
Find your power

They will see
When I've begun
To believe

Believe in me
Believe in
What I am supposed to be

No one will
Be able to stop me
No one will have my strength

No one will know my love
No one will withstand
The day

Of

My reign
My triumph
My victory
My success

Find your power
Find your power

No one will
Be able to stop me
No one will have my strength

No one will know my love
No one will withstand
The day

Of

No one will
Be able to stop me
No one will have my strength

No one will know my love
No one will withstand
The day

Of
Of
Of

Find Your Power
