In like the soft guitar and understated vocal. Cool stereo effects with the voices switching channels. Neat production of a cool song.

Fearless (Taylor's Version) x Death by a Thousand Cuts x august mashup

This mashup is dedicated to all the Swifties in Long Distance Relationships right now (especially those affected by the p*ndem*c). I believe in you all, you're almost there ❤️
"and now I'm pacing back and forth wishing you were at my door"
"If I had known what I know now, I never would've played so nonchalant"
"My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again... this is falling for you in the cruelest way. This is falling for you when you're worlds away."
"Please don't be in love with someone else" "Come back... be here"

Come Back... Be Enchanted

Wish List of One is a non-denominational, internationally-friendly holiday song about human connection, past reflection, future direction (hey, that rhymes!), inclusion of others whose beliefs are not our own, acceptance of where we're at and who we are, with hope for where we're headed and who we aspire to be, and encouragement of others to shine in their own unique way along the way!

Another year of our lives has passed with another trip around the sun - for me it feels like a fresh start. A new day that I am ready to embrace and explore. I'm very happy to be here with You all, to share these precious moments of life.

  Dear reader, I wish You a sweet solstice (belated), a happy holiday (belated), and a hopeful new year (early)! :D

  <3 I send You all pug-filled socks of Love <3

Lyrics:

Na na vi da da, Na na na vi da da

Wish List of One,
I've got a Wish List of One,
To share the solstice with the souls,
That I care about the most,
So this is where everyone toasts cuz,

We got the spirit
This is the season
We're all together
Whatever we might believe in

Na na vi da da, Na na na vi da da

Think of all the things we've done,
We took a trip around the sun together,
Think of what's to come,
If we just work together,
Think of what's to come,
It could be now or never.

We got the spirit
This is the season
We're all together
Whatever we might believe in

Na na vi da da, Na na na vi da da

We've had our lows - had our highs
Had our blessings in disguise,
Every day that we're alive we shine!

And there's no better prize,
Than the prize that we find
When we wish upon the stars
in each others eyes!

We got the spirit
This is the season
We're all together
Whatever we might believe in

We got the spirit
This is the season
We're all together
Whatever we might believe in

Na na vi da da, Na na na vi da da
Na na vi da da, Na na na vi da da

Wish List Of One (feat. 10 Beautiful Souls)

welcome to another episode of writing songs inspired by Turkish soap operas.

lyrics:

I was standing there with my
hopes up, just a little girl who got
let down, a tear-stained dress on the bed.
And I hoped that you'll never get the nerve to
come back, play the victim card
oh my god, I never had the patience for it.

save it for when you cried as much
as I did when you walked away

did you live your damn "best life" yet, babe?
did you travel 'round the world then back the globe again?
did you find the woman who broke your heart and left you stranded on my doorstep?
well then, what a life, babe.
What a life, babe.

You were the highest bet of my night,
didn't notice I lost the round
till the guards dragged me out through the floor.
Now I'm stuck in a crowd of "I told you so",
nothing helps when I'm alone,
guess that's what I get for wanting more.

don't you dare come passing by
and act like nothing has changed.

did you live your damn "best life" yet, babe?
did you travel 'round the world then back the globe again?
did you find the woman who broke your heart and left you stranded on my doorstep?
well then, what a life, babe.
What a life, babe.

I guess you were walking down the street,
your hand on hers but you thought of me.
Cause that's the place where we used to meet, 
you loved the food and spilled soda on me.
We laughed till we cried and we fell asleep,
in the middle of winter you were warm with me.
But she won't laugh or speak like me,
and you're sorry but baby...

did you live your damn "best life" yet, babe?
did you travel 'round the world then back the globe again?
did you find the woman who broke your heart and left you stranded on my doorstep?
well then, what a life, babe.
What a life, babe.

best life

A really inspiring collaboration with a new friend I met at a gig last week, I put a lot of hours into it.  This project also was key to my final Advanced Techniques of Midi Recording class in my audio degree program.

Hope you enjoy!

The Bell

growing pains never really do go away.

lyrics:

I couldn't find you on the television,
the incandescent glow turned this room bright.
people love it when you're a comet,
they won't dig you as much in the light.

try to be exactly what they wanted,
arrangement of bones that can only walk
cause if you run you're dangerous
but not as much as when you wanna talk.

and if I'm dead, why does it matter to you?
I just wanted the feeling of feeling through.

dragged my knees through the dirty road,
all you taught me was just a lie.
you say it's my victory lap, but I'm alone
did all that matters just passed me by?

so if I'm dead, why does it matter to you?
I get this feeling, but I feel I'm not getting you.

(spoken)
Ok so, tell it to me like I'm a kindergarten child?
no, no, no, please, draw me a picture, show me how to start.
and the names will be absurd like a low budget show
but we can laugh it off, yes... we'll pretend that it works.

I couldn't find me in the mirror,
the plot twist turned the room dark.
oh so pretty! I'm an asteroid,
but they won't dig me when I hit the lights.

Song a Week 2023 - Week 19

Lyrics:
Lately, I know I am inclined to always forget
Strangely, information is slipping away through the net
I let you down and that is something I totally regret
Baby, I am lost as to what is inside my head
Show me, tell me, I will just forget
Show me, tell me, I will just forget

In my mind
I am always forgetting

Forgetting

"Part Of My Heart I Forgot About" (#666, 230510)

Part of my heart I forgot about
Is telling me everything's wrong
Cut cut and run run and hide
Go go go until I'm gone

Part of my heart I forgot about
Is beating like it's going outta' style
Pump pumping blood blood and memories
Memories that stretch on for miles

Part of my heart I forgot about
Is drowning in the midday sun
Hot hot and heavy heavy trucks and headlights
Burning what's behind me as I run

Week 19 - Part Of My Heart I Forgot About (230512)

From now on
(Mark I Anderson)
 
Wish I’d been a better father
Wish I’d been a better son
I wish I tried a little harder
To be the man that I’d become
I know wishing is for fools
And I been wishing for too long 
I lost my way but if you lead me
I will follow from now on
 
Teach me to be a better brother
And how to be a better friend
I’ll learn to be an honest lover
Wish I could do it all again
Lord I know this should be easy
I‘ve been frightened for so long 
I will follow where you lead me
I will follow from now on
 
[Bridge]
If I could turn my life around
I’d give my all, in return
Every time I’m lost I’ve found
A little bit more that I can learn
 
Can a broken man be mended
Repair the damage that’s been done
And do it all without pretending
He never needed anyone 
Lord I know this should be easy
But I’ve been running for so long
I lost my way but if you lead me
I will follow from now on
I lost my way bit if you lead me
I will follow from now on

From now on

Chameleon (#673, 230618)

I'll push you right to the limit
Paint us a picture then deny that I'm in it
Scales of justice tip from side to side
And tumble from your eyes

I'll wrap my tail around you still
From the sands of Texas to the jungle of Brazil
Chase and catch you then find a place to hide
With a belly full of flies

Hey everybody look at me
Keep changin' colors oh I'm a sight to see
Camouflage so cute I belong in a museum
Just another chameleon

I'll act like this is all your fault
Drive you crazy chase you up the wall
Get your world turnin' every shade of green
Then vanish in the trees

Week 25 - Chameleon (230618)

Artwork (God, she made like 5 different ones and I almost died trying to choose, SHE'S AMAZING): @ nyctophiliacmb

Lyrics:

She came to me in a dream
and stood right next to me
and I felt the warmth of her clothes.
She said "don't bother to speak
cause I'm not listening,
I'm just here for the overthrow"

She had bright red hair like a fireball
and lips that could make my eyes roll.
And I still don't know what she knows.
She had deep green eyes like grass in spring
and I wonder why it's all coming to me
like a tidal wave, like a thunderstorm.
I wonder what she knows.

I felt her on my skin
as I rolled out of bed again
and I cursed the way my mind works.
I saw her crystal clear
as I closed my eyes as if
she tied a noose around my throat.

She kissed my lips like a wake up call
and my heart started beating on its* own
and I still don't know how to let go.
Her skin, like a death sentence to me
I want her so bad it's killing me
like a tidal wave, like a thunderstorm.
Is this what she knows?
(What she knows... How to let go?)

She came to me in a dream
and stood right next to me
and I get the feeling that she knows.
She came to me in a dream
and took my heart on her sleeve
like a tidal wave, like a thunderstorm.

She had bright red hair like a fireball
and lips that could make my eyes roll.
And I still don't know what she knows.
She had deep green eyes like grass in spring
and I wonder why it's all coming to me
like a tidal wave, like a thunderstorm.
I wonder what she knows.

*can you believe I realized I said his after I uploaded this? FUCK

I Felt Her
