This is a cover of one of the songs I love 'Don't Let Go' by the wonderful En Vogue. I love this song, it's passionate, powerful, sensual and I tried to channel that emotion into the song. This is also the first time I've looped with a keyboard and the first time I've used a keyboard and a guitar in one performance.

Don't Let Go (En Vogue loop-pedal cover)

This is a loop pedal rendition of one of my songs 'Falling For The Creature'. Click here to see the video: https://youtu.be/x4J-bSyCFM8

The song is about how many creatives suffer from mental health issues, myself included, and how they can take you over and cloud your judgement. The creature also represents addiction which is often caused by mental health issues and unlike the stigma.

The song was originally composed many years ago in Logic with looped digital instruments and me singing and "rapping" over the top. Years later I decided to rework some parts of it and create an acoustic version of the song, later I decided to create a loop pedal version. 

I plan to do a studio recording of this song as well as a few other of my originals later this year. Keep your ears cleared for some heavy guitars, drums and creepy vocals coming to all digital platforms very soon!

Falling For The Creature (Original - Loop pedal performance)

This was something I wrote about how I was feeling about turning 28 and originally meant to be something I'd read out in a little video but then it turned into a whole song and video. I wrote this the day before my birthday (March 2nd) and recorded the video on my birthday. Hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics:

Today is my birthday, I’ve made it, I’ve lived past the cursed 27, I will not join the fallen, Mother nature rest their souls.
Wow, 28, I’m 2 years away from the big three O and I cannot wait to be 30 flirty and thriving. 
Honestly, some days I feel like I’m just surviving, conserving my energy but I’m still enjoying life, I am determined to enjoy it. 

I’m immensely proud of how much I’ve grown over the years, increasing my knowledge of self and taking care of myself with cups of tea, good shows on Youtube and Netflix, good books, cathartic jams on my piano and guitar and most importantly, naps.

I’ve got a lot planned for this year and the next coming years and I’ve learned how to work around my limitations and when to gently push them. 
With patience and persistence I make good things happen in my own time.

If I were to describe Natasha, Tash, Lilac Underworld, Pixie T or however you know me, they are just many names for the same being, I would say that she is chaos, she is elegance, she is playfulness, she is softness, darkness and power. 
The inner child that will never die, the fire that can never be put out even when it is but a flickering flame and she is brilliant and she needs to remember this. 

So here’s to my 28th year on this earth and to many more and I look to the future with a heart full of pride and eyes wide open with awe.
Happy birthday to me!

28 (Spoken Word)

This is a song about a vampire who goes to a Halloween party looking for a victim and ends up falling in love with a witch. Is it an enchantment or is it real? She will never know!

about
This is a song about a vampire who goes to a Halloween party looking for a victim and ends up falling in love with a witch. Is it an enchantment or is it real? She will never know!
lyrics
Smell of blood and my teeth get sharp
Lick my lips for a taste of the hunt
Pupils dilate as I anticipate of the thrill of the kill I’ll make

Your lips steal the blood moonlight
Your skin glows a Winter white
Gonna drink your red liquor while I watch your life flicker when I take a fatal bite

Oh, where will I take you so no one can save you tonight
Oh, you’re just too sweet with your witchy vibe
Will I trick or treat this time?

Oh, I’m hypnotized when your eyes meet mine
For once in my undead life I feel something pure for the first time
Oh, it’s strange
I’m deranged
I’m bewitched by you

My heart black and dead as coal begins to make a sound
I get a weird sensation of an infestation inside my body and soul
I feel bats in my ribcage
I feel rats eating my brains
Something has changed! Will I ever be the same or will I slowly go insane?

Oh, where will you take me? And why do you make me feel so queer?
Oh, when you pull me, whisper in my ear:
“Hey, I like your fangs. D’you want a beer?”
“Uh…sure!”

Oh I’m hypnotized when your eyes meet mine
For once in my undead life I feel something pure for the first time
Oh it’s strange
I’m deranged
I’m bewitched by you

What have you done to me?
I feel so alive but I’m so terrified!
So terrified

Bewitched (x2)
I’m bewitched by you

Oh I’m hypnotized when your eyes meet mine
For once in my undead life I feel something pure for the first time
Oh it’s strange
I’m deranged
I’m bewitched by you

Bewitched

This is a personification of the transition between Autumn and Winter as a sapphic romance and the only time they can meet is during this transition period.
lyrics
Winter wears a snowy veil
She wears it for display
And it snags upon the branches of the matchstick trees

Autumn dances the dance of joy
She’s hard to be ignored
‘Cause every move she makes tears off a thousand leaves

Ooh, ooh, they go again! Oh, yeah!
Ooh, there they go again! Again! Again!
Ooh, they reach again!
Ooh, they want to be in one another’s company

One is pale, cold to the touch
The other a golden brown
But I’ll tell you, their mischief is a beautiful thing
When there’s frost upon the fallen leaves
When you start to feel a little chill in the breeze
It’s the time for the lovers to meet

Ooh, ooh, they go again! Oh, yeah!
Ooh, there they go again! Again! Again!
Ooh, they reach again!
Ooh, they reach again! Again! Again!
Ooh, they want to be in one another’s company

Now it’s time to say goodbye
But not without a dance
Winter says I’ll think of you when creatures lie close for warmth
Autumn says I’ll think of you when they shiver in the cold
So spin me around in a snowdrift pirouette
A frozen kiss makes a perfect parting gift
Let’s make this goodbye last until we must part

The Romance of Autumn and Winter

This is a song I wrote when I had a lot of turbulent emotions within myself and I needed to get them out in a creative way to process them so I came up with the piano riff you hear in the song, put a beat over it and then rapped some lyrics over it and sang a chorus. Some of the lyrics were changed since the first version but the majority of them are still the same as when I first rapped and sang them in the moment.
lyrics
In chaos there is beauty and chaos lives in me
When I get close to the sun I melt into the sea
In chaos there is beauty and chaos lives in me
An identity like a hurricane in a desert plane of green
In chaos there is beauty and chaos lives in me
When I get close to someone it’s clear and plain to see

I’m lost in this place, the shadows I face come tenderly
Disassociation from the constant contemplation
I’ve been emptied
But I’m relieved
To feel nothing after all the chaos within me

In chaos there is beauty and chaos lives in me
Stuck inside a rotting hide of rage anxiety
In chaos there is beauty and chaos lives in me
Switching from one state to the next in constant agony
In chaos there is beauty and chaos lives in me
When I get close to someone it’s clear and plain to see

I’m lost in this place, the shadows I face come tenderly
Disassociation from the constant contemplation
I’ve been emptied
But I’m relieved
To feel nothing after all the chaos within me
Within me
Within me

So much chaos
So much chaos
I am chaos

Chaos

This is one of my original songs 'Chaos' which I arranged to play on my acoustic travel guitar by Journey Instruments and my BOSS loop station. The original arrangement was a piano riff and an electronic drum beat I came up with in Logic X that looped over and over again so I could rap and sing over it. I still have this version saved on my computer as it is how I envision the produced version so I will work on it and eventually release it! I wrote this song in an hour which is rare for me; my songs take ages to write but it was probably because I was in a weird mental state and I just needed to release all of the emotions I was dealing with at the time.

Chaos (Original - Loop Pedal Performance)

This is an acoustic cover of the infamous 'Zombie' by The Cranberries. This song is particularly significant to me as it's one of the first few covers I learned when I started out as a solo artist. I think I was drawn to it because of the power and emotion behind the song and as I struggled to identify and express emotion as a teen I learned how to do it through music.

Zombie (The Cranberries Cover)

This an arrangement I created for one of my songs 'Undercover Humanoid'. The song is about dealing with depression and dissociation and warped thoughts. The reason I called this song 'Undercover Humanoid' because when you're in that state of mind you feel disconnected and alien and expressing emotion becomes acting.

Lilac Underworld - Undercover Humanoid (Original - Loop pedal performance)

Linkin Park was one of my favourite bands as a teen and I still love their music. When I heard about Chester's passing it really hit me and eventually I decided to have a crack at covering 'In The End'. It took me a while to figure out how to do it as I know how to rap my own lyrics but to embody somebody else's is a really difficult task and eventually I found a way that worked for me by performing it as if I were performing a musical theatre or spoken-word piece which helped channel the emotion of the song.

In The End (Linkin Park Cover)

YouTube video: https://youtu.be/i9rdZ30_BSU
This a loop pedal rendition of one of my original songs 'Wonderous Minds'. 
Under it's dark Nirvana-influenced tone is a message of positivity; it is a song for dreamers, creatives, visionaries, people who don't fit in, to keep striving to achieve their goals even if it is simply happiness! The song came from reflecting on my childhood and how anxious I was about the world and I felt very out of place and how making music in my teens helped me change from feeling vulnerable to feeling powerful. It is a song written as a reminder of how far I've come and to keep going that I now share with others.
I plan to record the full arrangement of this song in the near future so keep an ear and an eye out for it!

Sometimes I'm dressed for a unicorn party ❤ other times I'm dressed for a vampire funeral ⚰✝

I write pop songs for ghouls
Folk songs for aliens
And rock songs for fairies
