Songs I've written and produced since 2007, across various instruments, programs, equipment and levels of understanding. Thanks for listening.

My Original Songs

In The Dark (Instrumental)

A weirder offering from 2008.  I clearly recall the destruction to a forest of icky fresh vegetables in it's creation. Man, did I "ride the worm" that day. Inspired from the universe of Frank Herbert's Dune and the deserts of Arrakis.

Wake

I did this back in 2015 and improv'd the lead. Big fun.. UP THE IRONS🤘. Thanks for listening and if you might like to add some vocals - please let me know. All credit for this one goes to the original artist, Iron Maiden,  off of their album "Piece of mind".

My instrumental cover of Metallica's song of the same name off of the Kill 'Em All album, minus the vocals and solo. All credit for this song goes, respectfully, to Metallica.

Seek And Destroy (Instrumental Metallica cover)

This is my cover of Ghost's song of the same name from the album Meliora (Redux). My version is in E Standard! Hope you enjoy! All credit for this one goes, respectfully, to the original artist.

Square Hammer (Ghost Cover)

This is my cover of Joy Division's song of the same name, though it's done more in NIN's styling. I hope you enjoy!

Descent (with Dropouts on Drums)

Copyright 2025 - Johnathan Dunn - IToTheI Studios

I look to the clouds
The wind begins to blow
The Sirens call
The Dark descends upon me

Not much time now
There's not much left to go
I'm going down
Just throw some dirt upon me

The Pain and Strife
Of who I was before
I see my life
Gone through an open door

Not much time now
There's not much left to go
I'm going down
Just throw some dirt upon me

The winds grow faint
All steps dissolve away
Each mark I've made
Lives on another day

No moments left
The tide it draws me near
I sink below
To cross a veiled frontier

Beneath the waves
The others break me free
Night turns to day
As I begin to see

No struggles now
I'm just where I belong
I shake my head
and recognize my home

Descent featuring Drop on Drums!

Mirrors (Instrumental)

Misled

Misled, but well spoken
Long con, silver tongue
Watch your children
Wartime, line their pockets

See them lie, it's not for The flag

They're feeding the Machine

Everything they take is Stained
With the innocent
Drop those bombs
Wash your hands I know
Praying to the bullet god

Crying parents, guts and Teeth
For reasons unknown
Greed and spite they Drone
Ready to take another Soul

Misled, golden missiles
They take our lives
Killing field unrest
Traitors, masters of the Backroom deal
Sell it all

Everything they take is Stained
With the innocent
Drop those bombs
Wash your hands I know
Praying to the bullet god
Crying parents, guts and Teeth
For reasons unknown
Greed and spite they Drone
Ready to take another Soul

Listen closely, they're the Lions
The grim reaper
Has come to take your Children
Greed and pain, the cost Of things
Its killing, its killing us All

Everything they take is Stained
With the innocent
Drop those bombs
Wash your hands I know
Praying to the bullet god
Crying parents, guts and Teeth
For reasons unknown
Greed and spite they Drone
Ready to take another Soul
Bombs away, bloody day, Sell it now
Bombs away, bloody day, Sell it now
Sell it, sell it now

Freefall by MattJH

When there can not be peace
With another 
As the black water falls
And this island gone

When you can not be reached 
Under cover
And as time passes all
When the silence comes

Brave with me
Stave with me

It's time to release out of me
this storm that the lightning calls
I'm one with this velocity
And now we freefall

It's time to release out of me
This storm that the lightning calls
I'm one with this dark misery
Escape this freefall

Feel the light shine on me
Before the night comes
Don't let earth shatter me

I'm in freefall
I'm in freefall
I'm free
I'm in freefall

When the dark clouds subside 
Into nether
Every drop washes clean
Dirt and paint adorned

Wipe a tear from your eye 
Wonder whether
Was it all just the rain
Nothing left of scorn

Brave with me
Stave with me

It's time to release out of me
This storm that the lightning calls
I'm one with this velocity
And now we freefall

It's time to release out of me
This storm that the lightning calls
I'm one with this dark misery
Escape this freefall

Feel the light shine in me
Before the night comes
Don't let earth shatter me

I'm in freefall
I'm in freefall
I'm free
I'm in freefall

Freefall (Featuring MattJH and Dropouts)

Inspired by the myth of Atlantis, but IS it a myth?

In Time

In Time (Featuring Drop on drums!)

Nestled in the shadowed embrace of a wooded hilltop, Johnathan might (or might not) seem quiet on the surface but in his heart music roars with raw intensity. Captivated by darker, soul-stirring sounds, he pours his heart into crafting tracks that ignite his inner flame. Though local artistic connections remain elusive, he yearns to find collaborators nearby—but has united with creators on Bandlab—to breathe life into both shared and original visions. A guitarist through and through, Johnathan dives deep into every aspect of production, honing his skills to evolve as an artist. Every song emerges from his home studio, ItotheI Studios—where he writes, arranges, performs, records, mixes, and masters—with rare guest contributions adding texture and depth. His covers pay tribute to the trailblazers who inspired him, and to those who truly listen, Johnathan extends heartfelt gratitude.
