For the Soundcloud peeps: This is my first song for this year's 50/90 online songwriting challenge (https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/) and I apologise in advance for spamming you through the rest of the summer. It's a great spur for creativity, and I would genuinely recommend checking it out. It's not nearly as intimidating as the '50 songs in 90 days' concept suggests ;)

LYRICS

You take the sunshine
Turn it into rain
You take a good vibe
Burn it down it flames
'Cause when it comes to the positive
Oh, it's gonna be in vain
Mr Glass Half Empty 
Is trying to bring me down again

You got those problems
Burning on your brain
You don't want pleasure
All you want is pain
But is the long-term forecast
Always gonna be the same?
Mr Glass Half Empty
Why d'you bring me down again

I know that's it hard to be sunny
There's a lot of funny weather out there
But once in awhile you could smile
It makes a big difference, I swear

Let's lift our glasses
Throw 'em back again
Don't look so jaded
Allow me to explain
'Cause when it comes to the positive
Maybe there could be a change
Mr Glass Half Empty
I can make you smile again

Mr Glass Half Empty
I can make you smile again (repeat)

Mr Glass Half Empty

these are short songs ,poems more than musical songs really,that are meant to emphasize the lyrics that address what I think are critical issues for all of us : our relationship to each other/the planet/ourselves.. so please have a listen and let me know your thoughts. nothing fancy/cell phone recordings/take care be safe

Half-British, half-Japanese, South London-based singer-songwriter and producer. Indie pop, rock and blues. Thank you for listening!

Del Wags is the music of Dave Wagoner: a collection of homemade tunes meant to please no particular demographic. Dave is a one- man show of rhythm guitar loops recorded in the basement, choruses born in the shower, lyrics written on the couch, and tracks mixed on the laptop (and the occasional cover). Go ahead, tap your feet.

I played only acoustic guitar and harmonica for many years, playing the same covers alone and occasionally with friends. I never thought I wanted an electric guitar or lots of music gear because I didn't want to accumulate more things. In 2019 by chance I obtained a cheap electric guitar from a friend, and my life changed as this new tool unlocked a creative door. During Covid I bought a looper and a keyboard and began teaching myself to play it, and the creative door flew wide open. I challenged myself to ride the learning curve of home computer music production. I re-tapped into my poetry-writing brain from high school and songs began flying out of me. I haven't been this creative since I was a teenager and it's pure joy.

I'm thankful to have a place here to share my creations, make connections with others, and hear so much unique and wonderful music and sound from people all over the world.

Mr Glass Half Empty
