The chorus is great. Like this layering of the vocals. A bit like a delay effect. Great job.

IN THE GLOW / Macromemory
Lyrics:

In the glow (x 4)

Something after midnight
In the atmosphere
I can feel you
Like you're standing here

All the things you told me
Live in me like ghosts
Of all the words I've heard spoken
Yours haunt me the most

In the glow (I see you)
In the glow (I feel you)
In the glow (I breathe you)
In the glow (I leave you, in the glow)

Going through the motions
Muscle memory
Heavy isolation
Weighing down on me

Walking away slowly (Walking away from you)
Salt in all my wounds (Salt in all my wounds from you)
Time still hasn't taught me
Just how to live without you

In the glow (I see you)
In the glow (I feel you)
In the glow (I breathe you)
In the glow (I leave you, in the glow)

(2nd verse / Michelle Madison)

In The Glow

This is a happy little track about reconnecting with someone you never quite got over.

Macromemory - Hello
(Jillian Madison)

Hello x 8

(Verse 1)
Hello again, I never could forget you
You're back and I don't care why
The years go by like a rollercoaster
But you didn't fade with time

Come on, come in, come back to my world
The door is open wide
Memories are killing me
Of your face when I close my eyes

(Chorus)
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
I've been waiting for you
Hello, hello, hello, hello
It's been so long

Hello, hello, hello, hello
You used to love me
Hello, hello
Are those feelings gone

(Verse 2)
Hello again, I'm feeling like I'm floating
High up on some cloud
That's the effect you have on me 
And I don't wanna come down

Come on, come in, come back to my world
I'll show you beautiful things
Don't let go, I think you wanna know
What it's like to be loved by me

(Chorus)
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
I've been waiting for you
Hello, hello, hello, hello
It's been so long

Hello, hello, hello, hello
You used to love me
Hello, hello
Are those feelings gone

(Bridge / spoken)
Sometimes there are no words
Just hearts beating - lines blurring
Waiting for your life to crash into mine  
Another year, another summertime
You know we used to be real 
You used to unfold me with your words 
I want you to know  me
Wanna feel your skin touching every inch of me
Everybody else  is just scenery

(Chorus / OUT)

       

Hello

(since so many of you have asked - the "tristan" line at the end of the song is a reference to a tune called "breathe" by tristan prettyman)

lyrics (jillian madison)

words are all we've ever had
so what do you have to say to me
make it good, make it last
make it haunt my sleep

lows and highs, long goodbyes
it's just the way we are
i said: "i know, you've gotta go"
the day you broke my heart

yeah you were everything i wanted
i had everything i wanted
you were everything i wanted
and then you walked away from me
and then you walked away

remembering the way we used to be
remembering the things you mean to me
remembering the day when you didn't have to leave
and now i watch you walk away from me
can only watch you walk away from me

complicated history
here we are again
some loves never die
some hearts never get to win

hold you breath and think of me
like i know you still do
picture me lost at sea
looking everywhere for you

cause you are everything i wanted
i had everything i wanted
i would have given you anything you wanted
and then you walked away from me
and then you walked away

remembering the way we used to be
remembering the things you meant to me
thinkin' about the day when you didn't have to leave
and now i watch you walk away

repeating all the things you said to me
up til the sunrise keeping me company
with tristan singing BREATHE BREATHE BREATHE
as i watch you walk away from me

can only watch you walk away from me

You Walked Away

Written and recorded at my home studio in Laguna. Unmastered. It's a midtempo ballad with a piano-y, fiona apple-y vibe. XO JM

THE PASSENGER / Lyrics 

michelle:
oh, the ghost of my past you go
flow right through me
oh, you're the gold on my map, you glow
beckoning me

jillian:
fight the war inside my mind
you invade me
try to connect the broken lines
i feel you fading

chorus, michelle:
i am scavenger
hunting for the pieces you left behind
i can't get to you i've tried, cause
i am just the passenger
you're the one that drove away

michelle:
oh, like a criminal you stole
the best parts of me
oh, it's out of my control
you chose this for me

jillian: 
was it fun tossing me your crumbs?
disregard me
run, declare our time here's done
then discard me

chorus, michelle:
i am scavenger
hunting for the pieces you left behind
i can't get to you i've tried, cause
i am just the passenger
you're the one that drove away

i am scavenger
hunting for the pieces you left behind
i can't get to you i've tried, cause
i am just the passenger
you're the one that drove away

The Passenger

 Thanks @CoastalMichelle for joining me on the chorus and bridge.  -JM

when the smoke clears
come back and tell me your intentions
i should get out of here
but i'm so weak when it comes to you

find me now
if only it could be that easy
you know you wore me down
and i can't breathe when it comes to you

another row of white lines 
in my rear view
flash back to you in my t-shirt
you belong in my california nights 
you and i, under an orange sky

and tell me everything you never said
this time
tell me everything you never said

when the smoke clears
find me, i'll make some confessions
i can't look away
you shimmer like silver in the sun 

underground
you are buried inside me
i will write it down
'cause i can't speak when it comes to you

and when you come up for air
you know i will still be there
 
oh love of mine, you live inside me now
oh love of mine, i see you when the sun goes down

another row of white lines
in my rear view
flash back to you in my t-shirt
you belong in my california nights
you and i, under an orange sky

and tell me everything you never said
this time
tell me everything you never said

oh love of mine
(tell me everything you never said)

oh love of mine
(please tell me everything you never said)

oh love of mine
oh love of mine
oh love of mine
oh love of mine
oh love of mine

Everything You Never Said

I don't care
for your underwear 
I see nothin' in your eyes, no big surprise
Won't fall, You don't enthrall there's no happy in that smile 
close this file

Me. The thing about me, I sing about me
But is it me or just a song
True. The thing about true we sing about true
aint that the truth or just a song 
Love. The thing about love we sing about love
but is it love or just a song

Chorus
If I had to choose between the sunlight and the moon
hold my hand, hold my hand
If I had to fall between the blossom and the thorn
hold my hand, hold my hand

See how the stars shine, like eyes after wine
fingers entwine
words carry such weight such emotional freight
fingers entwine

You. The thing about you you sing about you
but is it you  or just a song
Brave. The thing about brave you sing about brave
 so get brave sing the song
Loss. The thing about loss we sing about loss
we hide the cost inside the song.

Chorus
If I have to choose between the silence and the bruise
hold my hand, hold my hand
If I have to rule between the madman and the fool
Hold my hand, hold my hand

How it looks, 'neath the stars above
how it feels to be thinking of
how it is when you're hand in glove
with the one you love..

It's Just A Song.....

Daydreams

I believe
that my life's a whole lot more
than what you see
but I never seem to face reality
or maybe just to face my own mortality.

Sanity.
It is meant for someone else.
It's not for me.
My head it pounds
just like a timpani.
Scattered thoughts so
far away from clarity.

Pardon me.
Seems I've gotten lost again
in my daydreams.
Silly me.
Thinking I can change
this crazy world I see.
No certainty
for those like me.

I believe
the demons in my head
are never gone.
Their winding road
thru my life's been so long.
They only show themselves to me
when I'm not strong.

So I plead.
I pray for all your help
to find the key.
So I can finally solve
this mystery
and be the kind of man
I know I need to be.

Pardon me
but I've gotten lost again
in my daydreams.
Vanity
is believing I can change
this world I see.
If it can't be,
am I really free?

Pardon me
but I never claimed to be
this man you see.
The fallacy
is to think that you can change
a guy like me.

I remain free.
All flaws and me.

I'm flawed and free

and I still believe.

Clean Bandit - Rather Be (B.S.L Remix)

Hi Soundcloud! We're back in the studio working on new tracks for a summer release. Until then, here's a B Side: "Wandering Down The Same Roads." It's still unmastered and a bit rough around the edges, but we wanted to put something out since it's been forever. Thanks to Michelle Madison for joining me on the vocals.

LYRICS:

burn all the bridges, they go up in flames
as i drive down the 405
tryin' to drown out your name

you're in my blood like nicotine
i know how bad you are for me now
intoxicated i could drown
in all these words so watered down now

wandering down the same roads with you
and though you've fallen behind, you know i still follow you
wandering down the same roads with you
nothing will ever change, i'll never get t you

i live by the ocean, my favorite distraction
from reality where i can only have you in fractions

sinking in your undertow, head above but heart below now
lure me in don't let go, whisper what i need to know now

wandering down the same roads with you
and though you've fallen behind, you know i still follow you
wandering down the same roads with you
nothing will ever change, i'll never get t you

(i still follow you, follow you, follow you, i still follow you)

Wandering Down The Same Roads

Lots of synths. Lots of vocoders. Lots of 80s. Hope you enjoy!

TIME TRAVELER | MACROMEMORY
Written by Jillian and Michelle Madison

Take me back, back to the start
Back, back, back, back to your heart
Take me back, back to the start
Wherever you are, a time traveler

I can feel you
Reaching out, I go right through
I can hear you
But I don't know, I don't know what to do

I see you in my mind
Falling back in time
I see you in my mind
It's like you've always been there

Take me back, back to the start
Back, back, back, back to your heart
Take me back, back to the start
Wherever you are, a time traveler

World's on fire
Wasted love will not be found
Time's a liar
But I will wait, I will wait for you now

I see you in my mind
Falling back in time
I see you in my mind
It's like you've always been there

Take me back, back to the start
Back, back, back, back to your heart
Take me back, back to the start
Wherever you are, a time traveler

LIGHT YEARS AGO, I SAW YOU
DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH I'D LOVE YOU
BOUND TO WALK A STEP BEHIND YOU
SO THAT I COULD ALWAYS FIND YOU

I'LL ALWAYS FIND YOU
I'LL ALWAYS FIND YOU
I'LL ALWAYS FIND YOU
I'LL ALWAYSSSSSSSS FIND YOU

Take me back, back to the start
Back, back, back, back to your heart
Take me back, back to the start
Wherever you are, a time traveler
