Rad country vibe to this track, would love some acoustic slide or lap steel to go along!

good song bro, this would be cool with vocals on it, the piano keys kind of stick out in the mix, dunno if that was intentional or not bro

I started to play this melody and the song started and ended fast, just like life it also passes too quickly ...This song is a work in progress and I hope i get the chance to finish it...xoxLOVE TO LIVE & LIVE TO LOVExox

"Afterlife" Original by Bethany Sky Whitman

Come along with Shade Structure on a funky film noir midnight ride
Lyrics:
I'll fire up that gas bag
Drive it down to Sandman Slough
You never know what you're gonna do
Everywhere there's a deadman's curve
I don't know what ya heard
It's probably true

Take it into the night
Take that Coupe De Ville
Drive it into the night
I want nothing but a good time
Take my broken heart
Batter it up
Chicken fried
Liquefied
I have a strange compulsion
To the creatures 
And the features of the night

I was born the Son of a lion tamer
They say: Yeah, you've got a boy child coming
You better read the disclaimer!

Take it into the night
Take that thing tonight
Drive it into the night
I want nothing but a good time
Take my broken heart
Batter it up
Chicken fried
Liquefied
I have a strange compulsion
To the creatures 
And the features of the night

Take what you know
Take it real slow
Take it where the fireworks are
Yeah!
Watch me stagger home
Into the light...
I have a strange compulsion 
To the creatures
And the features
Of the night

When God came back 
It was on a Tuesday afternoon
"I've fulfilled all my heavenly promises to you"
Now it's up to you
To search out the fakes and the frauds
"I'm playing existential funk"
Who would have thunk?
Selling Mexican fireworks from my trunk

I have a strange compulsion
To the Creatures 
And the features
Of the night

Strange Compulsion

Music, Vocals, Production by Bethany Sky Whitman...

This was supposed to be fun between me and my comp only and was not ever going to be released butttttt I started going a bit nuts with this killer 80's tune and thought why the hell not haha!  :-)

A mix of rock guitars float over the top of those epic 80's synth pop keyboards! Guess I wanted to add a bit of me to this song and fingers crossed I paid enough respect to the original. Hope you enjoy!!! And thanks so much for the support and comments!!!  xxoxx

Lyrics...

I'm alone sitting with my empty glass
My four walls follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there swimming through apologies

I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the metro

You wore white smiling as you took my hand
So removed we spoke of wintertime in France
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
I can see you now smiling as I pulled away

I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
Riding on the metro

I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned, then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the metro

I'm alone sitting with my broken glass
My four walls follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there swimming through apologies - sorry

I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the metro

Listen tip: Song and effects sounds really great with headphone!

"The Metro" Berlin cover by Bethany Sky Whitman

Many thanks to Haunted Country https://soundcloud.com/hauntedcountry - you really do know how to write a bittersweet piece - and to Drewdahead https://soundcloud.com/drewdahead for mastering. 

In the night it all comes at once
Flourishes my dreams
I wake up to the places I have never been 
The well is dry, the rain has yet to fall
The sun drops on my eyes but I still see it all

Hurry Up Now, the rabbits on the run 
Hurry Up Now, we’ve only just begun 
To recognise that its always been there
But you were too busy to notice or to care

Night falls away, the battle starts again 
Theres nothing left to fear now on this trip to nowhere
The valleys far, as your resolution fades
You’re chasing echoes into darkness

Memory Of You

This song was inspired by the isolation so many of us are feeling during Covid-19. I hope everyone can relate to this while they're separated from loved ones. I recorded this from my bedroom with a boom mic and an iMic. So it's somewhere between phone and studio quality. But with what I had to work with, I decided it was good enough to share. Enjoy!

I heard this expression "Beatleish" recently on one of my songs Nudge Nudge, you know who you are :-). And it's funny that it was mentioned because I've always wanted to cover this song and hearing that expression pushed me to do it ASAP. I also wanted to put my twist on it and add a bit of a psychedelic vibe. Hope you enjoy it and thanks so much for your support and comments you guys are awesome! xox

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
I'll let me hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah, you've got that something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
