Totally hooked me! I couldn't stop listening, "what's she going to do different next?".  That little impromptu run that you did @ 1:05 was Brill'!  Great cover, very creative.

don’t let me talk too long i’ll lose my thread
i would much rather hear you speak instead
don’t want to hold you back from being your best
i would rather let you go, you get your rest

(cause) it’s exhausting being brilliant isn’t it?
i wouldn’t know i’m just a burned out filament

i know you like i know my name
and i’ll hold you in the corner of my brain
i will wait, obscured in shadow
til your warm light meets my face
and maybe i will feel so brilliant for a change

don’t look at me like that, you’ll make me cry
cause looking at you too long hurts my eyes
maybe in a hundred years, they’ll still talk about you
what a pity they won’t know you like i do

it’s embarrassing to be so vulnerable
but it’s amazing that we share the air at all

i know you like i know my name
and i’ll hold you in the corner of my brain
i will wait, obscured in shadow
til your warm light meets my face
and maybe i will feel so brilliant for a change

don’t let me talk too long i’ll lose my thread
god forbid i share the mess inside my head
don’t want to hold you back from winning the game
i’ll be fine, immortalized, what’s-her-name

i will wait, obscured in shadow
til your warm light meets my face
and maybe i will feel so brilliant for a change

brilliant (original song)

believe in ur dreams even if they are far fetched

A cover I've wanted to do for awhile. One shot, unedited except for a little fuck up near the end which was rerecorded. Hey, we're going for transparency because I trust you, listener.

Thanks for listening.

you look like your mom, she's so sweet,
yeah your daddy did her wrong
you were the girl of my college dreams,
spending paris in your arms,
you put the rose into my cheeks
so infatuated
now that you're gone, i feel like a ghost

now that you're gone, i feel like a ghost
now that you're gone, i feel like a ghost
i feel like a ghost
i feel like a ghost
i feel like a ghost
i feel like a ghost

i see your car all around town,
double check the state it's from
i made you up, i slowed you down,
you got tired early on
you need some sun, you look like a ghost

you need some sun, you look like a ghost
you're freaking me out, you look like a ghost
you look like a ghost
you look like a ghost
you look like a ghost
you look like a ghost

if you're not in love, then i'm just a ghost
i'm just a ghost
i'm just a ghost
i'm just a ghost

Better Than (Christian Lee Hutson/Tyler Gillett version)

for love in the time of quarantine

a song about hope and compromise

Me and you
And the four walls of our yellow room
Let me paint it ‘cause I asked you to
Didn’t hesitate

You and me
We’ve been searching for a place to breathe
Told you this is where I need to be
So you said you’d wait

And you hate the traffic but I know you like the weather 
And I can’t afford it but at least we’re here together
And you say you’ve got me so how could I ask for anything more?

just hold me in our queen sized bed
You can trust me
When I say the best is yet
The best is yet to come

Me and you
And the things we always said we’d do
We might push them back a month or two
Just a short delay

You and me
We can lay in bed and watch TV
Hold each other when we’re panicking
Tell me I’m okay

You read the daily news and give me all the highlights
And I’ll give you patience even if we’re suck for fortnights
And you say you’ve got me so how could I ask for anything more?

just hold me in our queen sized bed
You can trust me
When I say the best is yet
The best is yet to come

compromise lullaby

I'll Just Wish You the Best

u know those scorpios and their feelings. thanks for listening!

all everything by me
drums by Gavin (a setting on Garageband)

Cut my bangs in a hotel bathroom
Drove 400 miles just to see you
Burst a tire in the desert heat
Wore high heels that kill my feet

I’m reckless
You know this

You never told me that you want me back 
But I can feel it like a heart attack
I can smell it on your skin
You want to let me back in 

I dare you to 

Makin up reasons to lean in closer
Sayin’ those things that you’re not supposed to
Cancel your plans, give me one chance
Weekend at Bernie's, make a dead thing dance 

You’re reckless
I love it

You never told me that you want me back 
Oh I can feel it like a heart attack
I can smell it on your skin
You want to let me back in

I could tell you I’ve changed
But that wouldn’t be true
I still want you

You never told me that you want me back 
But I can feel it like a heart attack
I can smell it on your skin
You're gonna let me back in

You never told me that you want me back 
But I can feel it like a heart attack
I can smell it on your skin
You're gonna let me back in

dare you to

if love

somewhere only we know (keane cover)

Natalie Patton is a singer and songwriter based in Los Angeles, California.

An indie-pop singer-songwriter too clever for her own good, and influenced by a theatrical background, she has a natural flair for evocative and intimate lyrics. Natalie grew up in Houston, picking up piano, ukulele, and guitar along the way. She spent time honing her craft in Austin, before relocating to Los Angeles. Natalie’s writing is heavily influenced by 50’s and 60’s pop mixed with a Phoebe-Bridgers-modern-troubadour sensibility. Natalie's lyrics echo in your mind long after the song has ended. 

Granted, in 2020, Natalie hadn’t written anything worth sharing in months while suffering under the hopelessness of quarantine with no end in sight. with nothing to lose, she decided to try something called /personal accountability/, and gave herself a challenge: write a song every day, record it for TikTok, and post it, no matter what. this exercise in letting go of perfection was a success: at the end of August, Natalie had written 30 songs, and remembered what drew her to music in the first place: telling stories.

Natalie developed her upcoming releases in Winter 2020 almost exclusively from her bedroom studio. In addition to co-writing with Austin’s best indie-pop songwriter Sammi Yarto, she collaborated extensively with producer Dale Penner. These singles feature bassist Bill Santana, guitarist Sean Ashby, and saxophonist Eli Bennett, with additional vocals by Jake Bardin.
