Hey Scotty, two things I dig about this song most. First is the fact that you're covering your friend's song. The second is the way you pull it off, especially using such low fi recording technique. I use my phone, too, but use BandLab, of course. You do an excellent job of singing this, too, brother man. Feel good about this one!

Well what a totally cool thing to do and you have give it your recognisable own style which I think Falsestart would be honoured on this mint tune 👍

Nice job. I love when SC foks cover one another's work.

This how it should be done! Much better than whatever wanker wrote it! Great stuff bro.

It's a very nice song! The fatigue of the day was healed.

This is a remix of my first vocal offering which I originally released over 10 years ago. Some of the original (free) VST's have faded from existence so I worked with a few of my current favourites and one new one. By now I had switched to a Strat guitar and this is undoubtedly one of my better, more fluid leads. At the time, I was also experimenting with keyboards and was really just getting comfortable using two hands (rather than 2 fingers). Also at this time, I was getting comfortable using Cuckos Reaper. As for lyrics, they just came from the mood of the tune. Everything is drawn from life experiences, so a "cut and paste" of some old, but not forgotten, memories. I'm not sure why I chose the 3rd person to express these images. 

Broken Dreams
---------------------

[INTRO/SOLO]

You wake up from a nightmare ...
Or was that real?
Somehow you can't get out of bed
Fingers too numb to feel.

Sun coming through the window
But there's no heat.
Now, the silence is deafening
Not a sound from the street.

[SOLO]

Sweet smells from the pillow
As you turn in bed.
Memories of warm embraces
Filter through your head.

No matter now, the bed is cold.
The covers are all grey.
The memories still linger
Of a love that did not stay.

[OUTRO/SOLO]

Wake up in the morning
With the dawn not far behind
Air raid sirens blaring most all of the time
Monkey in the tree swinging vine to vine
Got more money in my pocket
Everything is fine

Life is pretty great
Got nothing to lament
Brown people lined up 'neath the exit sign
Got more money in my pocket
Everything is fine

Brilliant sun in a brilliant sky
If the gun fire stops
I might go outside

Come on over and meet my girl
But keep your voice low
She still startles pretty easy
Why, I don't know
Got a bunch of little babies
Happy all the time
Got more money in my pocket
Everything is fine

This was the land of the free
The home of the brave
Gave it all up for a lower price on eggs
Sometimes I miss voting
But I don't really mind
Got more money in my pocket 
Everything is fine

Brilliant sun in a brilliant sky
If the tide ever goes out
I might go outside

Wake up in the morning
Air raid sirens blaring most all the time
Monkey in the tree swinging vine to vine
Got more money in my pocket
Everything is fine

Everything Is Fine

there's a lot of people, who wanna get you down.
don't wanna see you smile, just wanna see you frown.
make you look real bad, give you all the blames.
they get all their joy, from twisted mind games.
their vibes are really bitter, their minds are really dark.
never trust a traitor and never trust a narc. 

Never trust a narc.  (narcissist)

That Sun Sound

Since picking up the acoustic guitar at 16, for the last 11 years I have played many songs (mainly covers), recorded videos of me singing, and posted on my private Facebook account. Since now I have a bundle of these recordings, I have decided to select some of them, put them together and make an album out of it for fun. Hope you enjoy.

Buddy Holly

Glasswing is an airy, cinematic alt-pop ballad that mirrors and liberates. Built on warm piano, soaring strings, and shimmering textures, it’s a song about seeing through illusions, speaking truth with kindness, and helping others fly free. Light yet powerful, Glasswing belongs in the same world as Truer, carrying its message on the wind.

Scotty. (almost) everywhere. Hasty home recordings in between realities while the children are (sometimes) quiet or at their mom's.
