We Did That II

Back†hen - ground and ice

Oxy (Prod taccat)

This single is about the beginning of a journey. One that takes unexpected twists and turns. This is my first time using my own vocal on a drum and bass track. I wanted to try and keep it simple in some parts and a bit more intricate in others.

On my way

MISPRINT - On My Way

My older son told me once that he wanted to be artist when he grow up like his father, I didn't believe in myself until that day. 

And that's why I Love my Children <3 

Children

go unknown (feat. TheLØNER)

BEAT WITH HOOK Emotional Guitar Type Beat X Sad Pop Rap Instrumental

The next installment in my elements of life series. Was dealing with a creative block, or maybe I wasn't trusting myself, either way I am happy with the way this turned out.

Frank Solar - Nitrogen

Lyrics:
How come all my friends 
Who never left home
Are all digging graves that all say
The lost and unfortunate lie
Here

From the sticky air
That clings to my skin
That makes me feel like
I'm giving in
Trying not to become
One of the lonely ones 

Well I'm back 
Back in fashion
Back and walking

Hurtling fast 
Fast as a rocket
Pusling socket

It seems to me
I've gotten back my life
It seems to me
That I
Feel the rhythm
Let it pulse through my body

Cause I'm alive

So is there anything 
That I missed 
During my absence 
While I was gone 
Was there anything 
That happened
Any event that transpired 
That you think 
I would like 
To be privy to

Is there some 
Piece of information 
That you think 
Would radically change 
The way that I view 
The world

That would blow my mind 
Completely take me by surprise
Turn me upside down

Anything that 
Would make me see 
The world differently 
The trees 
The sky

Something that would make sense of why
I am 
Suddenly walking down the street
After I swore to God 
I was dead

That I would never breathe again

Yet somehow I am floating by
Somehow I seem to be moving
Effortlessly 
Through concrete dreams
That I didn't think 
Would be around me

Cause I thought I was in the ocean
Dead
In the middle of the ocean

Maybe I should slow down
Take it back a second

Hey can you pause the music for a second
I need to be able to think straight
I feel like I'm losing my mind

Cause none of the streets look familiar to me
None of these faces look the same 
I don't recognize this place

Cause I can't tell where I'm going 
Everybody's looking at me

Something is off 
But I just can't place it 
This whole place is odd
But the music is making me move
Like I was never dead

As I look around
Everybody's grooving 
Our body's into 
Sweat

It feels like we're going to explode 

Even though 
It's not the way 
I would like
I will just be thankful 
That I'm not still floating 
In the ocean
Belly up waiting for death
Instead
I'll keep moving 
For now

Cause I'm alive

/// LYRICS

What’s this fantasy
This long road calling me
To who knows where

Do I stay or go
I mean well you know
I’ve got to earn the life we share

Give me one more chance
One more song and dance
To prove I care

To prove I care
What wouldn’t I dare
To show you I need you so

But the lilacs bloom
Their sweet perfume and 
I have to go
 
What’s this give and take
All the strife it makes
When they won’t pair

Damn naïveté 
Is there any way
To prove I care

To prove I care
To show love’s there
How can I let you know

When the roses bloom
So strong, so soon
Well I have to go

What’s this fantasy
This road in front of me
To who knows where

Up On High

/// LYRICS

Baby, the world’s in an awful place
The system’s all a sham
But as long as I have you in my life
Life is grand
Maybe the whole thing’s been rigged to fail
Maybe we never stood a chance
But as long as I have you by my side
There’s romance

Take my hand 
And let’s dance real slow
I’ll put on
Some old Teddy Wilson
For tonight
Could we just let everything go
Even if it’s just a
Brief escape from this prison 

We’re late on the rent
And there’re bills to pay
No money in the bank
But as long as I
Have you on my side
I’ll relax

Take my hand
And let’s dance real slow
I’ll put on
Some old Teddy Wilson
For tonight
Could we just let everything go
Even if it’s just a
Brief escape from this prison

Take my hand
And let’s dance real slow
I’ll put on
Some old Teddy Wilson
For tonight
Could we let it all erode
Even if it’s just a
Big ol’ waste, baby, listen
