The guitar riff, bass and drums feel move me right away!

The melody and lyrics 'grow' on me, drawing me into the song as it develops - and I love the rocking chorus that drops back to a quiet section afterwards, before building up again. Great use of dynamics!

Lyrics.
Sorry I’ve been off my game
I can’t shake the low
Wish I could escape my brain
It’s hard to let go
It’s alright, it’s alright
I’ll be fine, bring on the weekend.

Every time I get knocked down
You save the day
Busting out your telephone booth
Wearing a cape
And in your eyes, in your eyes
I always find, all that I need there.

We know some come undone
Under pressure
But you and I still defy the odds
Together.

Yeah we rode the supernova
In and out of luck
We rode through the darkness
Never giving up
Now our love is the starlight
Nothings gonna tear us down
We are a constellation.

Remember when I wrecked our car
You carried me home
You fall, I fall
But we don’t fall alone
If we just keep pushing
Keep on moving forward
We’ll be alright.

I know you don’t wanna let me down
I told you then and I’ll tell you now
That I’ll never leave your side
I promised til the day I die.

Bridge.
Oooh I will never leave you in the dark
With your hand in mine
We’ll show them what we are.

Lyrics:
Everyday the same
And I’m patiently waiting
For this cycle to break
Aye
Freedom isn’t free
And I desperately need to
Get outta this place
Baby we can just forget about the
Shit we dealin’ with right now
Get lost in this 8th I rolled
And look at the stars
And pretend we in Santo Domingo
Just keep on lookin’ up
Girl we won’t even know

Even know, know, know
Yeah
Even know, know, know
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
Even know, know, know, know
No ooo ooh okay

This my great escape
The travel package purple
Flavor grape
It’s 99 cents for two flights
We got an extra stay in San Tropez
If you prefer Mandalay
It’s fully paid yuh
Just make sure your airplane modes
On MIA
We boardin’ in business
I can almost see the whole image
The Mastercards more like Master P
Cuh that bitch got no limits
Now our problems have vanished
While the pilot speakin’ Spanish sayin’
Viva la vida your plane has landed
With minimal damage

Everyday the same
And I’m patiently waiting
For this cycle to break
Aye
Freedom isn’t free
And I desperately need to
Get outta this place
Baby we can just forget about the
Shit we dealin’ with right now
Get lost in this 8th I rolled
And look at the stars
And pretend we in Santo Domingo
Just keep on lookin’ up
Girl we won’t even know

Even know, know, know
Yeah
Even know, know, know
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
Even know, know, know, know
No ooo ooh

No I ain’t faded
I’m just Seoul searchin’
And I ain’t tryna shut down
I’m just checking if my soul workin’
We got baggage though there’s no birkins
We got dreams but our nightmares
The only ones that’s reoccurrin’ so oh
Take this trip with me
Let’s forget bout all our misery
Smoke gelato while we in Sicily
Sippin’ albariño in Italy
Close your eyes we won’t even notice it
On the coast so guess where the ocean is
I can feel the breeze on my face
No oh wait
That’s you blowin’ smoke in it

Everyday the same
And I’m patiently waiting
For this cycle to break
Aye
Freedom isn’t free
And I desperately need to
Get outta this place
Baby we can just forget about the
Shit we dealin’ with right now
Get lost in this 8th I rolled
And look at the stars
And pretend we in Santo Domingo
Just keep on lookin’ up
Girl we won’t even know

Damn back to reality

Liv Austen - Rain On My Side

A song I wrote on the steps of a house I'm not welcome at anymore.

Home

Version 3 of my homage to all the classic 80's TV theme songs I grew up listening to and loving as a kid.  This song was inspired by the greats like Knightrider, Quantum Leap, Street Hawk and the A-Team!  Big, obnoxious cheesy synths and oozing 80's goodness!

Cheesy 80's TV Theme Song (instrumental)

am a professional UK based  session guitarist and songwriter working in TV where my clients include Primark, Flora, Touchnote, Pampers, Wealth Dragons, Horrid Henry, and the BBC. I also work with artists and I have  been fortunate to share stage and studio with Maram Hassler, Barbara Zanetti, T’Pau, Liv Austen, Dave Berry, Mike Pender, Leo Kelly-Gee, Dave Dee,Leanne Mitchell(Winner The Voice 2012)Jamie Johnson (Finalist The Voice 2014) Rachel Cardy, Brian Pool, Mike D’Abo, The Supremes,Freak Power, and many others. Aside from my work as a guitar player I am also  a songwriter and one of my songs “Butterfly” was featured on the closing credits of the zombie horror PC game  Paradigm Shift.
Being a professional musician has taken me all over the world and I have met some really cool people. I love to work with anyone who is creative, so if you need a guitar player, get in touch and we can discuss your project.

Stay Cool.
