A song I wrote with my old band some years back now- hope you enjoy! :D

Jumpstart (Original)

...again another song about relationships. Move on the failed states ffs.

This is a tad rough, and probably a headphones mix. 

Kajati plays bass, I play guitar badly and sing these words...

if they named a lake after you
they’s probably call it superior
but if they named a lake after you
you’d have to think that was eerie
and if i named a lake after you
i wouldn’t call it placid

i had a dream
i was living the dream
we had the perfect union
a fantastic house
and wonderful children
and we never fought
never had a fight
‘cause you were always right

they should name 
a mountain after you
something unmovable
and if they named 
a mountain after you
then that'd be unusual

so better still a volcano
an unpredictable volcano
i would name a volcano
and call you krakatoa

and i had a dream
i was living on the streets
i wasn’t doing so well
and i saw your car
pull up at the lights
and i screamed and yelled
trying to be seen but
but the lights went green
oh the lights went green

oh i had a dream
that the lights were green
…

A poignant song by a guy who is trying hard to feel happy at Christmas, but whose voice betrays him

What's all this Beautiful Dark. I've battled with artist names over the years and I believe I have the one that represents my music best. I believe in living for and by the light but I guess I only truly started being that by understanding my darker side and the dark that we exist in. Whether it's the deep infinitely expanding void that the universe is or our inner demons I think it's amazing trying to understand it all and make light of it.

From the dark... We make light 🔆

Here ironically is a bit of AI light...

There is no AI in this song now however initially I did use an AI model voice, being mine converted to female. I then used this vocal line to practice my own backing vocal and widen the scope and range of it. My real voice then became the backing and I deleted the model. It's a phenomenal way of practice and in my opinion 'thats' a positively creative way of using AI to upgrade yourself as a musician. I'm still on the fence as to whether it's ok to leave it in there. I guess because the vocal line is you converted, the emotion and subtle parts of your delivery get brought across too. For now I just use it as a practice tool from time to time. My AI Mr Myagi bitch


Lyrics

Give me some heart,
The beautiful dark
Do it for art
A suitable mark
Give me some heart
The beautiful dark
Do it for art
A suitable mark

Inner beast
Don't you weep
From the dark
We've made peace
You chewed on the light
We fade into sight
From the black we learned
Some calls for concern

Burned away
Time to sleep
Nightmares turned into dreams

Give me some heart,
The beautiful dark
Do it for art
A suitable mark
Give me some heart
The beautiful dark
Do it for art
A suitable mark

Hey ey ey ey ey Hey ey
Hey ey ey ey ey Hey ey
oh

Paste over the haste in those insular bubbles
Who's bursting them
No caste
Hoping the worst has past

There's dark all around
Just keep shining it down
It's dark all around
Just keep shining it down

Yeah eh ehhhhhh
Wow oh ohhhhhh
Yeah eh ehhhhhh
Wow oh ohhhhhh

Shelter Me

doo
