[Notes]

Hello there! It's Monday (in Japan), and that means another KK Slider cover video! Today's song is Steep HIll, a sad song which was actually one of the first that I wrote. I hope you enjoy my cover!

[Special Thanks]

As always, I cannot give enough thanks to my good friend Rekcahdam for making the instrumental track for this song, as well as inspiring me to put my work online for others to enjoy. 

[Lyrics]

I walked the path up to the steepest hill,
So I could wait for you
And we could brave the dark together.
I left my home and all I know behind
All for my love for you
So won't you please come too and you can...

Walk with me?
Won't you walk with me?
For this darkness will not pass
Without you by my side.
Hold my hand
You can hold my hand
And I will not let you go... 
Til the dawn.

There are no stars up in the midnight sky
The clouds all hide the moon
There's nothing here to lead to safety.
But if you'd only take me by the hand,
Then we could walk this path
And someday we'd reach home, so won't you...

Walk with me?
Oh, please walk with me
For the darkness grips my heart
Without you by my side.
Hold my hand
If you hold my hand
Then together we will stay...
Til the dawn.

[Notes]

Hello! Thanks for visiting my channel. This week I am extremely happy to present a special music video for my newest song, KK Stroll! The creation of this video coincided with Comiket 88 here in Japan, so I met up with my friend Matt (of Rescue the Princess fame) who filmed me and my friend Rekcahdam for our very own cosplay music video. Even though it was extremely hot and crowded, I'm still so happy with the result! I hope you'll enjoy this video.

[Lyrics]

Walkin' along in the sunshine, and I see
Everything here is so fine,
The feeling so free.

Stayin' inside on a day so enticing
Simply would feel like a crime,
So come out with me.

Take a walk with me through this happy town,
Forget the troubles bringing you down.

Come see the shore where the waves are a-crashing,
Let's catch a fish on the beach,
Our feet in the sea.

Let's enjoy all the beauty of the day,
Don't let your worries get in your way.

Pick an apple from a tree,
Take a bite and saving all the sweetness,
Grab one for me.

As the sun is setting we can lie,
Watch the stars come out,
Creating pictures over the sky...

Oh what a wonderful life.

Mrs.Quartz

A musical sketch reflective of Pearl from Steven Universe.

Much like in the show, she's represented musically by the piano. The lingering bell synth is representative of Rose's memory and spirit.

I hope you enjoy!

Pearl Heart

This is the demo for Mr. Greg from the Steven Universe episode, Mr. Greg!

I love old timey, vaudeville-y schtick.  And Greg spending big bucks at a fancy big city hotel had old timey schtick written all over it.  While writing the outline for Mr. Greg, I came up with the first half of this tune and pitched it a cappella to the group.  It felt very silly, but it must have amused everyone enough to stay in the picture.

We started making a demo.  I had the beginnings of a bass line and the percussion, and Jeff came in and made it an actual song with some great jazzy chords and an insane guitar solo, which I'm pretty sure he just improvised.

Like I said before, the song was originally only the first verse and the instrumental.  In the outline, Greg, gets so caught up in the spirit of the music that he asks Pearl to dance, and that's when she pulls away - showing that Greg and Pearl have a long way to go.

We showed the demo to Joe, and I believe he was the one who said this needs a second verse.  And together we wrote a second verse, with Pearl singing, that incorporated those story beats into the lyrics.  

So have a listen!

Mr. Greg (Demo)

I felt a little bad that I don't have anything ready to show you guys from my second year of uni. I will have some proper finalised tracks for you all soon, but in the meantime, I thought I would share this rough, fun little thing I recorded on my phone (which is why the sound quality is not great). The song is performed using a RC50 Looper, all voices are mine.

Lyrics:

Can you hear the call of raindrops,
Raindrops to one another?
Reaching out with liquid tendrils,
Tendrils to one another?
Gliding over window pains,
Wash away those awful stains.
Playing simple raindrop games
With each other.

I decided to extend the theme song real quick for Fantasy Dixie. I love it so much, it's so pretty :DDDD

Don't Ruin The Fantasy (Extended)

Familiar (Impromptu Cover)

A sentimental cover, for sentimental reasons.

Lullaby (NEWTON FAULKNER COVER)

Drift Away (Instrumental Remix)

everything stays (1)

Blunt and merciless singer/songwriter based in London, who rarely says what she thinks, so she just sings it instead. Loudly. And with vigour.
