I'm enjoying both versions of this, man. Great song and excellent production work!

Fine reflective song - loving the production with that chiming sound (synth?) flowing along in and around the music

this is fantastic, top quality vocals and love the math rock drums and shimmering dreamy indie guitars, sounding really good!

I prefer this version, harder to categorize, further away from 'catchable', more peculiar, like that. Well done.

love this version, the elemental lyrical style with the flowing drums behind it.

I really hope someone besides me understands,\ Grant's ability to make simple chord progressions complex as well as me someday. This is so gooooood.

Pretty cool. Dreamy and great guitar work. Atmospheric. I kind of get the feeling the guitar is doing whatever it wants, no player behind it. It's just floating all over, a kind fo spirit, and the drums are trying to clap it back down, bring it nearer.

The thing with pop music is, it either works or it doesn't - and this does!

slow thoughts short forever

I called this disturbing cocktail of sounds "This Wrong Wrong World" and, at the moment, it corresponds to my inner state.

This Wrong Wrong World

I was trying to write a short and catchy pop song... I think I nailed it ;)

Song, bass, keys, vocals: me

Don't be sad    
Don't be shy    
Don't give yourself to every guy

Don't be hard 
Don't be small            
Don't be anything at all

Okay Mom, I won't      
Okay dad, I'll be     
Just what you want
But there's one thing 
I won't be me!

Don't be weak   
Do what's right   
Don't stay out too late at night

Don't be fat 
Don't be lazy  
Keep your mouth shut 
Don't act crazy

Okay Mom, I won't      
Okay dad, I'll be     
Just what you want
But just one thing 
I won't be me!

Time will tell if you destroyed me
Or just simply took my joy
Could it be that I annoy you
Or did you wish you had a boy?

Don't be me
Just be them
Satisfy their every whim

Don't be real,
Don’t be ferocious
Don't reveal my real emotions

Okay Mom I won't
Okay Dad I'll be
Your nice little girl
But just one thing
I won’t be me!

Okay I Won't  -with Jonathan Beckenstein

Jon thought this version was too complex for the simplistic nature of the song.  I wanted to share this though, since I think it gives the song a much different vibe.

Recurring thoughts sometimes circle our minds and get our attention again and again. It's as if they're trying to tell us something that's just a bit beyond us presently. ✨  Same is true of riffs that we discover.

Should we banish them, let them flow... or channel them into music?

Yet another of Life's mysteries. 😎

Free D/L at www.terrywigmore.com A little personal experience poured out in this one. It will resonate with anyone who always believed in "one day" : one day something will come of this, one day it'll all work out, one day someone famous will cover this song, one day...one day.
We're not saying anyone should give up, but don't forget all the joy along the way to the elusive, "one day" that may or may not be in the cards for any of us.
And as we ponder life from the street view of a frustrated songwriter, think of all the "one days" that so many in Ukraine will never have, just to keep it all in perspective.

Lyrics:

I've got so many songs
Written on scraps of paper,
Tossed into bins
in every house I've lived in
Taken up space on hard drives,
thumb drives, Cd's ,cassettes,
I even pressed a vinyl.

Done so many, but not a penny (2x)
Done so...many

I've lost so many songs on the verge of that perfect mix
through a system crash,  hard drive failure
I've had so many songs that I thought I could
just make it
If someone would 
just give it a listen

oohh...give it a listen

na-na-na-na (repeat)

Now I'm hustlin' at open mic's
Busking on street corners of some nameless small town
Hopin' for enough coins to get a coffee  (oh-no)
Just a coffee...

Gone are the dreams I used to harbour
Gone are the dreams of...more than a penny

Done so many
I've done so many

Ive done many, but never a penny 
I've done so many    (repeat these 2 lines)

I'm in the process of renovating/updating various aspects of my studio, adding new hardware/software. New music on the way.

I'm a believer in true social interaction on SC, having intelligent dialogue with artists, and giving personal feedback that is (hopefully) more inspired than "Nice."  There are a lot of decent artists here not attempting to "go viral", sharing great music that deserves to be heard and not drowned out by bots.  Encouragement/criticism promotes growth, so say something worth something.

As much as I love making music, I'm also a fan of so many of you here on Soundcloud. This page is a mix-tape dedicated to all your amazing work. I'll be listening closely with cat's ears.

Please take a moment to listen, comment on, and if you like, repost - let's keep the soundcloud community vital. 

Any folks looking to follow/ then immediately unfollow just to get me to repost: think twice and think sustainably please by doing the real work of growing your fans in an honest and organic way.
