Glasgow singer/songwriter Neev captures the heavy weight of burnout and fatigue on her tender new single “Seawall,” an intimate serenade brimming with soft swells and rich acoustic warmth. - Atwood Magazine

Neev has created a calming soundscape that embodies wistful sounds and folk embellishments. - Earmilk

Like A Child ft Keela (emvoice)

"The impossibility of penetrating the divine scheme of the universe cannot, however, dissuade us from planning human schemes, even though we know that these are provisional."

"La imposibilidad de penetrar el esquema divino del universo no puede, sin embargo, disuadirnos de planear esquemas humanos, aunque nos conste que estos son provisorios".
Jorge Luis Borges

First There Was Chaos Then Came The Cosmos

A Quiet Life 

 

You find a place to settle down
Away from everything you've known
So many secrets to protect 
So many people to forget

 

Wasting away in your silent disgrace
Keep your head down
Keep your head down
Each lonely day etching lines on your face
No one must know
No one must know


A quiet life 

 

You find a place but it's not home
And yet you stay here on your own
With all your secrets stashed away
With memories of better days

 

Pining away for the life you have lost
Your bridges are burned
Bridges are burned
Each passing day has you counting the cost
What have you learned ?
What have you learned?


A quiet life

 

And was it you or just one big mistake?
Crossing the lines that they drew?
What could you change if you could only go back?
Back to the days when you lived such a quiet life


You found a place to hide away
With memories of better days
So many secrets to protect
So many people to forget

I Never Saw It Coming

A Quiet Life

The Questioning of the contrast of the purity and Truth of Nature vs. the Dishonesty of Modern Society and Politics

Lyrics 'New Treason!': in summary a critique of the state of political affairs in the world, in contrast to the honesty and truth to nature excerpt:

Bridge
Ohh, why do you want to separate our lives?
And break our ties (to nature)?

Leave us on our own, through divide?

Ohh, why does your pollution remain?
And, why do your wars rule and Justify?

Verse 3/Outro
So we’re told and disagree 
And educated how to feel

That’s no deal -you Follow?
It’s a hard pill to swallow

New Treason

Be careful what we wish for, it could become reality. And maybe we don't like it anymore.

I Liked Science Fiction More When It Was Only Fiction

A song about machine inclusivity.

RENT A ROOM

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance

Well we don’t want to feel your cold
We want a steel womb with a view
So we can catch you and your crew
With your shiny shoe and your clean shirt
Looking around through all the dirt
You check the chandelier
But I can see straight through you here
You've got a sweat on from the beer
And we can smell your fear
You're coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
(Maybe even a cyber-sabre dance!)

The priest and the nun
Are pouring sand into
The joints of my exoskeleton
Whilst a dog with a bone
Is running into trouble
With a clone of mine’s explosive rubber drone

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
Boop boop boop...

Just got hold of a second voice for Emvoice the voice synthesizer.  Meet Jay, their first male vocalist.  Lucy is on backing duties for this one.  Not exactly a polished track, and a duffer of a cover.  Hopefully I'll get time to address both of those things at a later date.

Lyrics below for anyone interested.


Weather making news again.
Too much sun or too much rain.
Failing crops or rising floods,
Both mean more expensive goods.

Whether you believe or not,
Some folk have and some do not.
Where you're born and who you're born to,
Both decide the course you plot.

Chorus
All the fat cats getting fatter,
They're OK so we don't matter.
All the fat cats getting richer.
We're their bitch - you get the picture.

Migrants coming to our shores,
Willing to do menial chores.
Pay more tax, contribute greatly,
Asking 'why the tabloids hate me'?

Chorus

You will see signs every day,
proving fat cats still hold sway.
That won't change. There's one big problem.
Human nature's made that way.

All the fat cats
all the fat cats . . . .

All The Fat Cats - Nickillus 2021

A full time, freelance children's book illustrator, introduced to Magix music making software in January 2014.  Haven't been near music production since school about a hundred years ago.  Can't play a note, and sing like a drain unblocking - Hence any music I may eventually have the nerve to upload is all created using midi/vst instruments playing compositions created in the piano roll editor.   The Magix forum dedicated to music production is the only place to suffer my creations so far.  Didn't realise it could be so much fun though.  Woohoo.

Join me and a lot of other artists at www.atomcollectorrecords.com.
Get more plays for your tracks and meet a lot of awesome people!
Cheers!
