Excellent lyrics and performance. Sung with gusto and lots of energy!

Love the structure and flow! no problems with the chorus now!

Great exploration of this topic vocally and musically. 

pertinent lyrics, as I understand some words but not all. good instrumental work too 🙂

FeelBetter

A little bit of kindness 
Spread throughout the day
Guaranteed to make it better
In each and every way

You don’t have to be a martyr
Don’t have to be a star
Reach out to one another
Wherever you are

You’ll feel better 
When you 
treat one another like you’re…
Sister and brother

Yea there’ll be some that
Just not to friendly
They’ll make hard just to
Get through the day
But you don’t have to
Pay them no mind no
Let all their griping go 
Right down the drain

You’ll feel better 
When you 
treat one another like you’re…
Sister and brother

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ wha wha wha ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Now you don’t have to worry no 
Cause it’s so easy to do
Just be kind to everyone and
They’ll do the same for you

Then there will be

Good times feeling fine
Free and easy
Nothing going to ruin the day
Sunshine on my mind
Bright and breezy
Blowing all the dark Clouds away

You’ll feel better 
When you 
treat one another like you’re…
You’ll feel better 
When you treat one another like you’re
Sister and brother
When you treat one another
Like you’re Sister and brother

FeelBetter

Wrote this in 2006, but the original chorus was really odd, and in listening back to it I couldn't work out what on earth I was thinking, so this is an updated version.  The verses are pretty much as they were in 2006, though have adjusted the melody a little bit, and the chorus is entirely new, middle 8 added too, those parts written in 2022.

Too Much Fear (2006)

Project 4

Hi,
So, as life is busy and my studio room is being rebuilt, I found myself rummaging through my archives and found another interesting bit - this is still a 4-track, I think it's from 1999, I seemed to have been on a real mental groove.

I threw some neat VSTs on the tracks to give it a slightly modernized feel, hope you enjoy.

I don't care for "I trust you"
I don't care how it sounds
Ian, my latest server 
Is far beyond the bounds

Last we listen, last we wait
Fog in my brightest dreams
For my love in its passing
Should be depraved hidden screams

Iron, iron forges me
Iron, iron forges flesh

Sinking deeper in lonely abandon
Sinking deeper in art's holy names
Trusting my own foolish instincts
Thirsting for hunt of smaller game

Sitting below weeping dark trees
Sat in the cold corner ground
Ian left me, I don't have his mind
And I don't care for my own solid sound

Iron, iron forges me
Iron, iron forges flesh

傾いて草に埋もれた道を行き獣の巣穴さかしまに下り　この世に
駆け廻り叫びおらびて知らぬ間に獣の巣穴さかしまに上り　あの世に

He came to this world by climbing a grass-filled slope and falling headlong into a beast's den.
He ran around in this world, screaming and yelling, and without realizing it, he climbed up the beast's den upside down and came to the other world again.

Paean

I ask you a thousand kisses
I ask you for your love
I ask you for your dreams
I sleep early to dream of you

Like the wind that blows the leaves
like the sunset
Like the gentle touch of a breeze
you are my gift of love

Until I was... A little bit of you
I want a future with you
I fall in love a thousand times with you

Until I was... A little bit of you
I fall in love a thousand times with you

the darkest day
Before the light of your eyes
loses meaning
it becomes beautiful

Like the wind that blows the leaves
like the sunset
Like the gentle touch of a breeze
you are my gift of love

Until I was... A little bit of you
I want a future with you
I fall in love a thousand times with you

Until I was... A little bit of you
I fall in love a thousand times with you

Hasta que fui un poco de ti...

Demo song without lyrics or instrumental track

I've been writing songs for ages and ages, because it's something I enjoy doing, and that's about it. 

I've added dates to titles, however, these aren't always dates recorded, mostly just dates written because the original offerings, back then, had little to be desired with consideration to production values and all that stuff!  For the older tracks some tracks have the old backing with a modern vocal (often with a lyric rewrite), the original vocal with a new backing (when I could work with the original vocal, but not the original backing), the original song newly recorded in all areas, and less often the original vocal and backing, but with a few additions, "No" is one such example.  Otherwise, most of it is newer stuff, post 2018, and is as is, when written and recorded.    

I've had to re-record some things on account of my abilities to record demos and all that being very limited once upon a time.  

In the early days I only had a Farfisa F1 workstation thing (it's amazing what I managed to do on that), later an Atari ST, with Cubase 2 probably, a Proteus 2000, and Fostek 8 track recorder thing, and now I've got Native Instruments 14, and Cubase 12, in what amounts to an astonishingly good set up compared to my earlier resources, for about the same money as that older rubbish was back then. 

I still use the microphone I've had since I was 18, though did just recently upgrade that as well, however still pick up and use the old one, as it's still good - a Sure SM58 with a dent in it! My upgraded mic is a Sure SM7B, which is great, and I see it all the time on TV and podcasts, so must have made a good choice! 

My musical chops are focused on the piano, my main instrument, and the ukulele, which I play a lot as well.  Not doing a lot of piano-orientated songs at the moment, but I do sometimes, and mostly try to get the best out of my Native Instruments stuff.  I'm barely scratching the surface with all of the NI stuff I've got.
