The second song of the challenge to write a song a week.
Let me know what you think!

Universe Inside - (A Song a week Challenge Wk 2)

A lament of the working class - a waltz written on the guitar for a rainy day.

Money - (A Song A Week Challenge - Week 3)

My song from week 4 of writing a song a week! I did not set out to write a rap but here we are. It was quite the learning experience!

I Did This Myself - (A Song A Week Challenge - Week 4)

Week 5 of ASAWC was a doozy. Hatori tackles a song that has remained unfinished for almost 2 years. While it remains unfinished, it has taken another step in a new direction (again).

Brothers (Reimagined) - (A Song A Week Challenge - Week 5)

The first iteration of Brothers that came about in September of 2022.

Brothers (First draft)

Week 7 of a song a week challenge started with a beat made by MAKOTO and ended with this! Anyone want to rap on this?

Low Life (ft. MAKOTO) (Week 7 A Song a Week Challenge)

Just vocals and electric, about that time my therapist ghosted me.

My Pleasure is Bible
written and prod by Jessica Lindsay
sample from "Listen to Your Heart" by Roxette

followed down those hallowed halls
felt a stirring in my soul
heard the choir warming up 
as you traced my collarbone
eyes roll back, pray i can 
get out of my head
i’m over thinking, god I wanna 
be under you instead

i don’t wanna second guess
oo la la, oo la la
i just wanna feel my best
and the heart wants what it wants

on your knees that’s a candy crush
hand to my head that’s a sugar rush 
live and die by the blessed buzz
my pleasure is bible
bow-bow down to electric touch
i could never ever get enough
this is holy, holy fu–
my pleasure is bible

i’m a believer in my Lorde and Audre
use of the erotic to illuminate my way
follow the feeling, let your hips dip and sway
and if you want to dance, baby get it on
you need a better reason, then turn up the song
there ain’t no better feeling, let your 
hips dip and sway

i don’t wanna second guess
oo la la, oo la la
i just wanna feel my best
and the heart wants what it wants
the heart wants what it
wants

on your knees that’s a candy crush
hand to my head that’s a sugar rush 
live and die by the blessed buzz
my pleasure is bible
bow-bow down to electric touch
i could never ever get enough
this is holy, holy fu–
my pleasure is bible

listen to your heart
when it’s calling for you
listen to your heart
there’s nothing else you can do

undeniable, verifiable, indescribable
undeniable, verifiable, indescribable

listen to your heart
when it’s calling for you
listen to your heart
there’s nothing else you can do

on your knees that’s a candy crush
hand to my head that’s a sugar rush 
live and die by the blessed buzz
my pleasure is bible
bow-bow down to electric touch
i could never ever get enough
this is holy, holy fu–
my pleasure is bible

My Pleasure Is Bible | Demo

Appaloosa
by Jessica Lindsay

you’ve got a way with the spooked ones don’t ya 
real gentle touch, so i settled down
you got away with domestic a while
was quite the feat, leading me around

but i was something before you
and i miss the wind in my hair

whoa, don’t you know
if you love them, let them go
you wanna hold on, don’t 
it’s just your pride, you’ll be alright after you fall
from an appaloosa

i hate to say it’s in my nature to run 
heart starts to race, and i’m out the gate
i hate to make another mess of a goodbye, but
habits, like me, are fucking hard to break

and i was really something before you
i miss the wind in my hair

oh, don’t you know
if you love them, let them go
you wanna hold on, don’t 
it’s just your pride, you’ll be alright after you fall
from an appaloosa

it’s been a ride, been a good ride cowboy
but i gotta fly, gotta fly wild now boy

whoa
if you love them, let them go
you wanna hold on, don’t 
it’s just your pride, you’ll be alright after you fall
from an appaloosa
appaloosa

you’ve got a way with the spooked ones, don’t ya

Appaloosa | Demo

Running is a song that delves into the shadows of capitalism. This is the soundtrack to your moments of introspection about the world that lies behind the office doors

Verse Vicer - Running

Demo of a song I wrote for S2 Episode 7 of my songwriting podcast with Hatori, "They Can't All Be Bangers".  This was a last minute song, as I started writing it about 2 hours before our deadline.  I'm not in love with it, but they can't all be bangers.  I may come back and salvage what I can, as it might end up being a nice coffee shop or open mic song.

Just trying to write the best songs I possibly can.  Professional procrastinator.  Amateur KJ.  Sub-amateur hand model.
