I was messing around in audacity again and this is what came out. :p

Time to save up for some proper recording tools I guess.

Everything Is Average Nowadays (Kaiser Chiefs cover)

I found this recording from back in 2018. It's by no means perfect but I was playing around with harmonies (they aren't all done well, I know, it was just practice) and the high vocal in the background. Like I said, it's absolutely not perfect but hearing it back I didn't think I did that bad. So here you go.

Linger (The Cranberries cover) from 2018

Something Defective (in progress)

The finished version of the song! (that I posted the 'in progress' version of earlier)

Lyrics:

I can see you from a distance
As you're trying to catch my eye
But darling, just wait for a minute
Are you sure that it's worth a try?

'Cause it all just seems so fantastic
The birds and the bees and the rest
But when the stars all subside from your eyes
Will you stay for whatever there's left?

'Cause sometimes it feels like we'll never get it right
And all that we're left with is something defective
But sometimes it feels like I'm at home in your eyes
And all that we're left with is something defective
But I don't know what to believe
Maybe it's not as bad as it seems

'Cause after all, I'm just a person
In awe of the stars in your eyes
And I'll be the one that's collecting their dust
After they've lost all their light

'Cause sometimes it feels like we'll never get it right
And all that we're left with is something defective
But sometimes it feels like I'm at home in your eyes
And all that we're left with is something defective
But I don't know what to believe
Maybe it's not as bad as it seems

'Cause I fall from the sky
Just to find out that it's all a lie
When I come crashing down
Will you be there to catch me? 
'Cause I'm nearly certain you won't

'Cause sometimes it feels like we'll never get it right
And all that we're left with is something defective
But sometimes it feels like I'm at home in your eyes
And all that we're left with is something defective
But I don't know what to believe
Maybe it's just as bad as it seems
Well, I don't know what to believe

Something Defective (original song - finished)

First attempt at recording after my surgery. :)

Speed Of Sound (Cover Snippet)

Heal Over (KT Tunstall)

A new song I was just working on tonight. I'd like to hear what you think :)

Lyrics:
We're taking a walk through the weather
The raindrops run ways on our skin
Don't know how we'd end up together
You come, then you're gone with the wind

I always thought you were a puzzle
And I was just another piece
Adding a part to the picture
But not enough to make it complete

You sent out an invite tonight
To come and dance with the devil
But I wonder who this devil may be
Is it you? Or is it me?

I'd like to tear you down to splinters
Like a wolf in the middle of its feast
'Cause I'd rather get right back at you
Than silently admit my defeat

'Cause here I thought I was a puppet
And you were just playing your games
But what if, perhaps, there were no strings attached?
And it was never a game in the first place?

You sent out an invite tonight
To come and dance with the devil
But I wonder who this devil may be
Is it you? Or is it me?

But I don't know what to do with you
What does a girl like me do with a guy like you?
Yeah, I don't know what to do with you
What does a girl like me do with a guy like you?

You sent out an invite tonight
To come and dance with the devil
But I wonder who this devil may be
Is it you? Or is it me? me?

You sent out an invite tonight
To come and dance with the devil
But I wonder who this devil may be
Is it you? 
Or is it me?

Dance with the devil (work in progress)

It's finally here! My first official demo song! Thanks to Second Floor Audio.

Saw It Coming (Official Demo)

A new song I've been working on. Here's a quick test recording, just because I'm really curious to what you guys think of the concept. I'm sorry for the horrible quality though, I will soon make a new recording with a better mic (this was just a quick, late night recording)

Lyrics:
I don't know how to feel about you anymore
'Cause things don't look the way they used to before
And I'm well aware that in the past I've made mistakes
But you made me feel so alone and it just won't go away

So how do you feel about us after all this time?
I've been holding on to all these grudges for a while
And the load is heavy and the heart is cold
But I don't want to do this alone
So, what do you say? Do we rekindle the flame? Or do we walk away?

I don't know what I'd do if I'd see you now
'Cause it feels strange to say hey but it feels stranger to not make a sound
So by force of habit I'd probably smile and walk along
'Cause resentment rides high but nostalgia comes on strong

So how do you feel about us after all this time?
I've been holding on to all these grudges for a while
And the load is heavy and the heart is cold
But I don't want to do this alone
So, what do you say? Do we rekindle the flame? Or do we walk away?

So how do you feel?
I'll tell you how I feel

Maybe the past is best left in the past
'Cause often I feel like there's nothing left
But I don't want to be the person living with regrets
So what do you say? How do we act?
Yeah, what do you say? How should we act?

So how do you feel about us after all this time?
I've been holding on to all these grudges for a while
And the load is heavy and the heart is cold
But I don't want to do this alone
So, what do you say? Do we rekindle the flame? Or do we walk away?

So how do you feel?
I'll tell you how I feel...
