Reflections

I've been pretty sick lately, so due to a lack of inspiration for anything new, this is another one dragged out of the archives and brought into 2024.
Thought it would be nice to have some guitar added too, so my trusty friend Ibnu Hadi D came up with the goods once again 😊
Always a pleasure working with him!

You Know Me Better

You Know Me Better (Remix) feat. Ibnu Hadi D

"Distanced" is a reflective ballad that captures the beauty and heartache of a long-distance relationship, drawing parallels with the infinite expanses of space, and the need for connection stifled by the realities of time and space. With spacey guitar tones and melancholic vocals, The Day Afters blend wistful lyrics with a modern indie sound. Perfect for late-night reflection.

Lyrics:
It’s the Distance - and the time we squandered, the days we found were- quickened.
A rhythm - as we break in two again, smash into ourselves - listen….   

If you want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When  you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

Absence - makes the heart grow fonder But my thoughts still wander - still with you
This system - demands you follow, Makes you swallow - puts us in this queue

If want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

I Miss you - the earth is harder, the sun feels farther than it used to - and we’re just passing through

Trying to read you - I can't tell
Trying to reach you - No one’s there

Void Century

Distanced

My first DAW song!
I enjoyed very much doing this song?
Can you also enjoy it?

Under Pressure
In this world of expectations where success is a decree
All the pressure from everywhere can easily break you and me
Schooling us with numbers and facts, who care is’s breaking our backs
All the promises I must keep still hunt me in my sleep
In this circle of demands the pressure still expands

Education should be the key, but if the pressure breaks me?
What if I cannot break free?

You think when I smile I’m shinning so bright, but deep within there is a fear I can’t fight
All the pressure closing on me, expectations, how to be free?
How can I handle the wight before it is too late?
The obligations are so strong, where do I belong?

Success is what we strive for, but I wonder if there’s more
Expectations are everywhere,  all the pressure I have to bear

Under Pressure

lets be friends

Oh,
Wait
Is it already that late ?
And we still hesitate
Let us concentrate…
Let ’s collaborate…
Yeah…
Seriously…
This is supposed to be
Just another love song
But
We cannot sort out heart from mind,
And that won’t be different this time

And with .4 k per second
Just spinning around ourselves

No giggling please…
Fasten your deep senses
This is a far flight
And it’s only one-way…

Let us concentrate - ah -
Here today
There is no escape…

No giggling please…
Let’s collaborate…
This is supposed to be
Just another love song
We won’t sort out heart from mind
And that won’t be different this time

And with 3,2 k per second,
Ahaa, ahaa…
Circling around the sun
Ohh,
No giggling please…
Fasten your deep senses
This is a far flight
And it’s only one-way…
It’s only one way…
One way-y-y-y-y-y-y-y…yeah…

- solo -

So many lovesongs have been sung
So why now again a further one ?
Because it must not be left undone
Cannot leave it undone
Cannot leave it undone…

Ohh,
There are turbulences

No joking please
There is trouble ahead
Hitting the unprepared -
Ohh, this is a hard way…

While we float
With some 30 k
Around the milky way
And other hundreds of k’s
Trundling other ways
Within a thousand days
That is quite a stray
Even if you don’t move a single hoof…

No giggling please
This is supposed to be another love song
No joking please
This is a far flight
No giggling please
This is a heart’s way
And it’s only…
It is only one way,
It is only one way…

Hmmm in hindsight Daddies sometimes intense lyrics might have seeded those 😊


Lyrics

"♾️Tell me he matters
You take it away
Tell me she matters
You take it away
Tell me they matters
You take it away
Tell me we matter
You making my day ♾️" by Matilda - age 7 (there's the pension sorted ✅😆)

Fruit of the skies,
Plough my eyes!
They are naked
Magnificent prize
Spilled light
I'm trenched
Seeing us so small
Out there immense 

Fruits of our crys
Our laments
The pure presence
Presents a tense
Suspense to sense
A myopic dance
Souls' geofenced 

♾️Give me some cosmic clues
Needing some cosmic clues♾️

Hey you, cookoo crazy's
Perspective imagery
August 23rd '66
Move 'round the Moon
Earth clicks.
This space sues your safety
Just one burst of energy...
Bezos, Musk,
May you help mould some fix
Dicks 


Fruits of our lives
The gasps
The sighs
Awakened
Rise above the rasp mouthed pride
And feed with feel
Let us keep this real 

(Possibly start solo here and bring below verse in as an outro chorus/bridge) 

Fruit to survive.
Cruciate of life
Crossed to new hive
No 9 to 5
Now feed with feel
Let us keep this real
Yeah ehh 

Tell me he matters
You take it away
Tell me she matters
You take it away
Tell me they matter
You take it away
Tell me we matter
You making my day 

I tell you they matter

It Matters

Not going to lie, I was a little drunk when I made this one. It's a little sloppy, even for me.  Leaving the really out of tune low notes in was an artistic decision... not sure if it was the right one:)  Thanks for listening.
