great vocals as well - really unique and powerful!

Pretty cool sound and rhythm right from the get go. Your vocals remind me of Jack White.  Very tight song!

Some of my favourites tracks on Soundcloud!

Rough demo of an idea I've been playing around with for a couple of years

I Can't Find A Heartbeat (Idea)

Music and structure basically done on this one but vocals & lyrics still a work in progress...

LYRICS(WORKING):
[Intro]
Music! 
My music! 

[Verse 1]
Music gets me high
and when it is inside me
I don't need no other drugs
to make me feel alive, no

[Verse 2]
Music makes me whole
it's given me a soul
It fills me with an energy
and I lose all control

[Chorus 1]
And I feel
The touch of love

[Verse 3]
Music makes me whole
it's given me a soul
It fills me with an energy
and I lose all control

[Bridge]
Love!
Love!

Feel that music in your soul 
Taking over lose control
Feel that music in your soul 
Taking over lose control
Feel that music in your soul

The Touch Of Love (WiP)

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
You might want to hit the brakes
You never learn from your mistakes

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't ask permission
that's not your style
No inhibitions
that drives me wild
I can't think clearly
you're in my head
In my head

[Verse 2]
You turned my life so far around
that I went spinning crashed back down

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't ask permission
that's not your style
No inhibitions
that drives me wild
I can't think clearly
you're in my head
In my head

[Chorus 1]
You're out of control
like everybody warned me
but for me it's too late
Don't need to close my eyes
'cause I'm enjoying the ride
so let's see where you take me
You crashed into my life
baby
just like a kamikaze girl

[Verse 3]
If you think you can change the world
the only crazy one is you girl

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Don't ask permission
that's not your style
No inhibitions
that drives me wild
I can't think clearly
you're in my head
In my head

[Solo]

[Chorus 2]
You're out of control
like everybody warned me
but for me it's too late
Don't need to close my eyes
'cause I'm enjoying the ride
so let's see where you take me
You crashed into my life
baby
just like a kamikaze girl

[Outro]
My girl
My girl
Girl

Kamikaze Girl

Kamikaze Girl (feat. Alto Jefferson & Franc Rose) (Franc Rose Mix & Master)

Was in a metal mood today. This turned out really cool.

Always A Victim

Full moon's out
Time to devour
Intense gaze 
Do you desire?


Oh, Craving your flesh, 
Oh, Watch me undress

I'll tease, but I'll please you
Let's go through everything you know

Your scent
gets me dizzy
Head is spinning 
You're my new drug 

You're my new drug, Oh

Hush my mouth
I like the overpower
Feeling blay
You light my fire

Oh craving your flesh
Oh watch me undress

I'll tease you but I'll please you
Let's go through everything you know
Your taste 
Drives me crazy 

Lets get busy
You're my new drug

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
Top floor’s gonna lock the doors
when the tide comes rushing in
Fishing in the street 
‘cause you need to eat
but they tell you it’s a sin
Cutthroat, gonna sink the boat
when they get that higher ground
Pull up the ladder then tell you
it’s your own fault when you drown

Oceans rise
can’t turn the tide back
Build a wall they’ll still come
Truth is dead
to the blind we choose to lead
Please

PRE-CHORUS 1
Fly by my sweet angel
nothing here for you
Worth saving and even
if you wanted to
You won’t change our ways
it just can’t be done
We’ve run out of chances
it’s time you moved on

VERSE 2
None too wise
they’ll believe those lies
But they won’t be pushed around
Heads in the sand
of the hourglass
Speeding up but counting down
The cowards we
give power are
His image realised
So who’s to blame
when you call his name
And you don’t get no reply?

The words of liars
fuel the fires
You can't trust all 
that you read
As far apart
as we’re ever going to be
So

PRE-CHORUS 2
Fly by my sweet angel
nothing here for you
Worth saving and even
if you wanted to
You won’t change our ways
it just can’t be done
We’ve wasted our chances
it’s time you moved on

CHORUS 1
Fly by my sweet angel
and do not forgive
Have no mercy angel
you've seen how we live
We treated our world
like it was a toy
And all we are given
we destroy

BRIDGE
Picture perfect lives
that hide the unseen
Following each other
from behind our screens
It's the wealthy
young and healthy
that we chose to deify 
So it’s time for you to go
say goodbye
You know there's no place for us
in your sky
So fly!

CHORUS 2
Fly by my sweet angel
and do not forgive
Have no mercy angel
you've seen how we live
We treated our world
like it was a toy
And all we were given
we have destroyed
Now we’re out of chances
it’s time you moved on
Don't cry for us angel
‘cause our time is done
We’re at the beginning
our end has begun

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
I try to make things right
but you just want to fight
Please try to use your words
if you want to be 
heard to get 
through to me

CHORUS 1
This is our end
We're too broken to pretend
So go on and try
Won't find a better man than I

VERSE 2
I have tried to make this work
but you just want to hurt me
To forgive is all it takes
'cause we all make 
mistakes and my one was you

CHORUS 2
This is our end
We're too broken to pretend
So go on and try
To find a better man than I
have been to you

INTERLUDE/OUTRO
I wish that I could see inside you
what goes on inside your head
You're so full of paranoia
don't trust anything I've said
When you think the world's against you
twisting everything I said
and I mean every word I said to you

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
Used to be my favourite time of year
I'd count the days as it drew near
Couldn't wait to do it all again

But all good things come to an end
The magic's gone, I can't pretend
Why can't things be like they were back then?

PRE-CHORUS 1
I remember when
I couldn't sleep the night before 
anticipating
'Cause I'd spent the whole year waiting

CHORUS 1
Christmas is the time each year
that used to bring me so much cheer
Now it's the only holiday
that makes me want to run away
Because when the magic fades
it's just another day

VERSE 2
Now they play the same songs every year
so everywhere I go I hear
'All I Want For Christmas' and Bublé

We exchange gifts and act surprised
How did you know, it's just my size
'Cause we told each other what to buy

PRE-CHORUS 2
I remember when
I'd run down to the tree
and see
my presents waiting
and it felt worth celebrating

CHORUS 2
Christmas is the time each year
that used to bring me so much cheer
Now it's the only holiday
that makes me want to run away
Because when the magic fades
it's just another day
It's a cynical refrain
but I know you feel the same
It's just another day

INTERLUDE
I don't think I'll be going home this Christmas
There isn't much to celebrate this year
(Let's forget this year)
We'll make it through but at what cost
Raise a glass to those we've lost
who can not be here
Yeah!

CHORUS 3
Christmas is the time each year
that used to bring me so much cheer
Now it's the only holiday
that makes me want to run away
Because when the magic fades
it's just another

OUTRO
day that comes just once a year
that used to bring me so much cheer
Now it's the only holiday
that makes me want to run away 
because

(Ooooh, it's the only holiday)
Christmas is the time each year 
that used to bring me so much cheer
Now it's the only holiday
that makes me want to run away
(That makes me want to run away)
because

Christmas is the time each year
(Ooooh, it's the only holiday)
that used to bring me so much cheer
Now it's the only holiday
that makes me want to run away
(That makes me want to run away)

Christmas is the time each year
that used to bring me so much cheer
(That makes me want to run away)
Now it's the only holiday
that makes me want to run away
(That makes me want to run away)

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
So your life's a drag
Didn't meet your expectations
Well that's too bad
You have my commiserations

PRE-CHORUS 1
But I do not want your life story
I've got no sympathy

VERSE 2
It drives you mad (so goddamn mad)
when no one's listening to you
So you should be glad
that I am here to talk to

PRE-CHORUS 2
But if I try you ignore me
I get no sympathy

CHORUS 1
I'm all out of sympathy for you
Every problem you make
So I'm all out of sympathy for you
'til you own your mistakes

VERSE 3
You hate your job
Feel underappreciated
But it's all you've got
Know your best years have been wasted

PRE-CHORUS 3
Look to me to reassure you
but get no sympathy
I have had enough of listening to you

CHORUS 2
I'm all out of sympathy for you
Every problem you make
I'm all out of sympathy for you
Can't forgive your mistakes

INTERLUDE
When there's trouble it finds you
Look out it's behind you
Coming for you and there's nowhere to hide
It's something inside you
A devil that guides you
Why'd you
let him in?

BRIDGE
So I'm all out of sympathy
Now I'm all out of sympathy
for you

CHORUS 3
I'm all out of sympathy for you
Every problem you make
So I'm all out of sympathy for you
Can't forgive your mistakes

OUTRO
I'm all out of sympathy 
I'm all out of sympathy for you
I'm all out of sympathy for you

I'm all out of sympathy
I'm all out of sympathy for you

Sympathy (feat. jek, Franc Rose & Kyle Krysa) (Franc Rose Mix)

Hello all! I started out as a drummer, then learned bass and guitar and I've ben writing music ever since, and I'm really only putting it up to make it easier to share with friends and family, but enemies and neighbors are welcome as well.

"a delicious combination of low-fi grunge, mixed with angsty alternative and pop rock" - wedistribute.org Mixtape #1

I'm an amateur songwriter/lyricist and bedroom musician from the UK.

This profile has all of my completed tracks, works in progress and various other random ideas that will probably never go anywhere but I like to keep around...

My main instruments are piano/keyboard and vocals, plus some occasional guitar when I can't find anyone else to play it for me!

I do a lot of online collaboration with other musicians (mainly through Bedroom Bands on Reddit), which is always fun - it's a great way of finishing songs of my own and I also sometimes contribute vocals and lyrics to other people's projects. I'm always open to new collaborations, so if you like what you hear here and fancy working on something together, let me know!
