I'm trying to write and record a song a day for the month of July, posting the results no matter how they turnout. 

the past few days had a lot more time spent playing with synths, finding the right sounds. Today I just went with a piano, endedup with a longer, more fleshed out (lyrically) song. Might be fun to come back to. 

"I turned on the water and I filled up the bath 
You came over at 7 and asked if you could crash 

but what are you doing here? 

'I'm gonna make us some money' 
you said then tapped the ash
from your cigarette but
you never asked, 

'What are you doing here? 
What are you doing here?' 

I've still got your name 
tattooed on my brain
like i'm insane 
but i can't say i blame you 
if you don't feel the same 

But what are you going to do? 

I'm waiting for the night I can walk home from the bar 
finally remember how it was we got our start 

'cause how did we get this far? spending so much time apart? 

I've still got your name 
tattooed on my brain
like i'm insane 
but i can't say i blame you 
if you don't feel the same "

July Song a Day: 04 I've Still Got Your Name Tattooed on my Brain

pulp (demos)

no more happy endings

KEYS (Rocket)

This is a song I got hired to compose. Lyrics were send and requirements for style were open.

Miraculous

sounds cliche but for me it's the little things that always comfort me. there are so many upsetting things in the world and sometimes we just need something as simple as reading a good book, lighting a candle, or listening to music to help us through tough times. that's what i wrote this track all about. i metaphorically speak about these things as a band-aid.
this was my very first song so it could be a little rough around the edges but i think i'm always improving. would love feedback.

band-aid (demo)

alone time and reflection are so important to me and i love to have these things in beautiful places; like a garden.

lyrics-
brick walls, with large vines 
don’t snip the tulips, let them wind 
grab a book and light a candle
the smell of roses, at night time 

come and join me in the garden tonight 
golden pothos in delight 
come on it will be alright
but don’t forget the feelings pass by  

the flowers all above my head
 I’m on that wooden bench 
I’m waiting everyday for you to see 
that the garden needs water baby 
but what could open your eyes 
you never even made up your mind
 please just listen to me 
i don’t wanna sound needy  

something told me that 
you planted a new seed 
now i see it still 
this is not what i need

come and join me in the garden tonight 
golden pothos in delight 
come on it will be alright
but don’t forget the feelings pass by  

the flowers all above my head
 I’m on that wooden bench 
I’m waiting everyday for you to see 
that the garden needs water baby 
but what could open your eyes 
you never even made up your mind 
please just listen to me
 i don’t wanna sound needy  

I’ve been getting lost 
the broken flower pots 
maybe i need some time
I’ve got to enjoy the ride  

the flowers all above my head
 I’m on that wooden bench
 I’m waiting everyday for you to see 
that the garden needs water baby 
but what could open your eyes 
you never even made up your mind 
please just listen to me
 i don’t wanna sound needy  

the flowers all above my head
nothing even made sense  
there’s just something about 
the feeling when the lights dim down
 i only spend time alone 
cuz baby i heal at home
 so i stay in the garden
 cuz writing is how i cope
