soon your claws fall out of range - good line! Great mix of guitars and nice overlays at the end

Nice sound 👌 good vocal performance and good production

love that lyric. loving again the style shift. such diversity but mastering all of them

Such a time, such a phase. 
Such a memory a scent can raise.
Pictures assault me, they damage my eyes. 
Voices surround me with love and with lies.

I hear you cry, a forlorn child, 
then watch you rage, eyes flashing wild.
And even my hand raised as to fall 
couldn't convince you to pause or to stall,
you played my heart and soul.

(C) Play this heart and soul.

Bite and scratch from morn' to night, 
day to day and fight to fight.
I'd beg and I'd plead for a moment of peace 
or failing that, to just be released,
you played my heart and soul.

Sap my strength, crush my will, 
then circle 'round for the final kill.
Tell me the truth, was it always your mind 
to be so deliberate, to be so unkind?
You played my heart and soul.

Time moves on and seasons change, 
and soon your claws fall out of range.
As I'm walking on you're looking so small, 
and if I walk further you're nothing at all.
You played your heart and soul.
Your own heart and soul.

Soft War

Supplication

Supplication (by Greg Kutcher and John Ludi as Soft War)

MUSIC FOR THE THINKING FEW.

(NOTE for RepostEx users: I don't repost AI if I can detect it, and I only repost songs I like or show some level of competence or promise...and they usually don't involve an 808, misogyny, Autotune or singing off key over a prerecorded track...and at my age I'm FAR more interested in quality connections with listeners than going "viral". ALSO: mostly an aging rock/folk/prog/indie guy...can't really judge or really relate to Hip-Hop, Auto-Tune and other more modern styles...sorry.)

John Ludi is a musician/singer-songwriter/cultural relic with a diverse and "arty" array of influences and lyrical interests who was "Indie" before the term even existed. Working outside of the music industry by choice has given Ludi the ability to release songs of a level of lyrical depth that are anathema to the current culture.  Ludi lives off-grid in a yurt in the woods of WI and finds the materialistic priorities of our civilization incredibly wrong and destructive.
