An original song about secrets, music inspired by several Pakistani pop songs. Music and lyrics by me.  Put together with the Reaper DAW and a variety of instruments for the music, with the vocals created using the Natalie voice in SynthesizerV Studio Pro.

LYRICS

INTRO
Keep your secrets, don’t ask don’t tell.
I need your silence, don’t ask don’t tell.

VERSE 1
In the still of the night, under the pale moon's glow,
You share a secret, that secret spoken low.
A bond begins, you pull me near.
But close can be too close, something to fear.

VERSE 2
You tell me yours and you think I’ll tell you mine.
You’re wanting ties, but those ties can bind.
It’s not a gift you give me, someone’s trust you betray,
For me it’s a debt you expect me to pay.

CHORUS
So I say, 
Keep your secrets, don’t ask don’t tell. 
I need your silence, don’t ask don’t tell.

VERSE 3
So when you say "Hey, I’ll tell you a little secret."
You may think I think you think you’ve opened up, 
Exposing your vulnerability.
But what I see is you pushing me.

INTERLUDE  
The secret about secrets is,
It’s not about what gets told. 
It’s about the telling.

Verse 4
Everything scribbled, every hidden note.
Binds you to someone, like it or not.
Each pinky swear, each little story,
Comes back to haunt you on your trip through purgatory.

CHORUS
So no, keep your secrets, don’t ask don’t tell.
Better your silence, don’t ask don’t tell.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell

I entered the world of music through accordion lessons in elementary school. Had a mini-Moog and a few other keyboards in high school. Now I've been playing with the digital workflow for around 5 years, purely for my own amusement.
