Ooops! ...I Did It Again (Britney Spears Cover)

It might not be the jangly power pop we would do after it, but technically this is the first recording David and I did together. A traditional Appalachian murder ballad. There was beer involved, if I recall correctly :)

The Downstream - The Knoxville Girl

This is a cover the last part of The Count Of Tuscany from Dream Theater's album Black Clouds & Silver Linings (Roadrunner Records 2009).
This was my phase III recording/mixing project for my Audio Engineering course at SSR London.

The Count Of Tuscany (Dream Theater Cover)

Find Your Own Way (new mix)

A song about gender dysphoria, body dysmorphia, self-image distortion, the ever-present and eternal persona from birth to death.

in times of change, you hang on to the past
I know I can rely on you, to stand up for yourself.

if I could just ask one thing, if I could just ask before you go.

on the sidewalk, on the sunken street you left
when the wind dies down on you, do you sense the loss.

did it make you feel good at all, did it help you be someone else

changes coming 
silence drawing in
sweet taste in my
body moves across

I shed your scars
and dry your tears
something small
turns into a show

i’m the deceiver
and the  liar
your hand in mine
we walk to the fire

this body is not the body of mine
this skin is not the skin of mine
this face is not the face of mine
but a mask eternal

this body is not the body of mine
this skin is not the skin of mine
this face is not the face of mine
but a mask eternal

his body is not the body of mine
his skin is not the skin of mine
his face is not the face of mine
but a mask eternal

her body is not the body of mine
her skin is not the skin of mine
her face is not the face of mine
but a mask eternal
