The backup song

An orchestration of 'Hydroponics' from the System Shock II soundtrack. 

System Shock 2's soundtrack was originally composed by Eric Brosius, Josh Randall & Ramin Djawadi. As with the previous System Shock II track, this was hard to translate to orchestra. It differs slightly from the original and has a few bits of improv here and there. Hope I did it justice!

System Shock II - Operations Orchestra

I dug around in my phone to find this thing an old draft of a song.

Written in 2019 when I was hunting for a new job I had a lot of time on my hands and that's how this beauty was birthed.

it never made it past draft stage, but it is a fairly meaty draft so it has the structure and all.

For now it lives as a pocket recording on my phone. it is funky enough, could make a real song for sure.

Turtle poet - Early draft

Here's a cover of "Grow for Me" from the Little Shop of Horrors movie.

If you enjoy this track, you'll maybe like some of my other music. Check out a playlist of stalkery, murdery, singy songs at https://youtu.be/g368U6pvKlY

Lyrics:
I've given you sunshine, I've given you dirt
You've given me nothin' but heartache and hurt
I'm beggin' you sweetly, I'm down on my knees
Oh, please grow for me! 
I've given you plant food and water to sip
I've given you potash, you've given me zip
Oh God, how I mist you. Oh pod, how you tease
Now, please grow for me!
I've given you southern exposure to get you to thrive
I've pinched you back hard like I'm s'posed ta, you're barely alive
I've tried you at levels of moisture from desert to mud
I've given you grow-lights and mineral supplements
What do you want from me, blood?
I've given you sunlight, I've given you rain
Looks like you're not happy 'less I open a vein
I'll give you a few drops if that'll appease
Now please
Oh, oh, oh, please
Grow for me!

It's a classic musical and was one of my wife's favourites, so this one's for her.

Lyrics:
Oh one by one, they all will tumble down
Drop without a sound, six feet underground.
Oh one by one they bleed a pretty shade,
The red's never the same, pumped through artery or vein,
From blade to pills, to rope around the neck.
It's a thrill they never will forget.
From blade to dirt, it happens so damn quick,
and nothing does the trick like murdering for kicks.

So show me how you bleed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door
and I want more!

Oh one by one they all will hear the sound
of being drowned... while tied up, gagged and bound.
Oh one by one it hits them in the guts,
another couple slugs, then toss 'em in the rug.
A bag, a box or maybe in a cake,
It's a choice they never get to make
From bag to dirt, it happens so damn quick,
Oh nothing does the trick like murdering for kicks.

So show me how you bleed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door with open arms.
So show me how you bleeeeeed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door.
And I need a little more!

Yeah I need a little more!

Oh lemme have one more

I gotta have one mooooooore yeah!

Never Let You Go ft. Gloom Darkheart

One time at an open mic recently I sat down next to a funny man named Hans and had a long discussion about data and IT. 

Later in the evening he revealed that he owned a recording studio a few blocks away. We went there and recorded this little bad boy over a cup of tea.

Here's a song about love! :)

The first draft of this song was recorded way back in 2011, so it's great to finally have it finished. If you ever dropped into one of the Lazy Sunday Livestreams you probably heard it in some early form! The instrumental itself was long-ago-released as 'Adventures in Your Sleep' from one of the Originals albums, but has since been remade, remastered and extended.

Lyrics:
I've got a graveyard that is all my own, I carve the headstones like wood on a tree 
I've written epitaphs for each like photographs from when they sat with me when I was queen
Some say I drove them mad, others I killed them dead. I ripped their hearts from right where they stood 
And some say Franksteined, that I controlled their mind but really all I did was this 
I gave my all and know that I, and know that I was,
But that was purely poisonous and oh-so-deadly to touch

Widow me this and Widow me that 
Grab my web and spin it with me 
Drink my wine, take my Alabi 
Down six feet, I'll sing you to sleep but
So Widow me this and Widow me that 
Grab my web and spin it with me 
Just drink my wine, take my Alabi 
Down six feet, I'll sing you to sleep 
Oh I'll sing you to sleep  

I've got an orchard with an apple tree, I count the fruits like graves in a field
I pin their names on, just like autographs, but still it feels like none of it's real 
Some say I stole their youth, others I hid the truth, I ripped their hearts from right where they stood 
And some say Franksteined, I locked them in my mind but really all I did was this 
I did my all and know that I, and know that I failed 
Wish I could change.... change everything 
But that ship's already sailed  

Widow me this and Widow me that 
Grab my web and spin it with me 
Drink my wine, take my Alabi 
Down six feet I'll sing you to sleep 
So Widow me this and Widow me that 
Grab my web and spin it with me 
Just drink my wine, take my Alabi 
Down six feet I'll sing you to sleep 
So Widow me this and Widow me that 
Grab my web and spin it with me 
Just drink my wine, take my Alabi 
Down six feet I'll sing you to sleep 
Oh I'll sing you to sleep, yeah!

Widow Me This ft. Gloom Darkheart

Had a go at recording a sort of acoustic version of the title theme from The Legend of Zelda - Wind Waker, my absolute favourite Zelda game.

It's just a work in progress or a demo ment as a guide for when we're recording it properly this summer. 

You hear a few guitar tracks, a few bouzouki tracks and a percussive track (also a guitar) on this recording, all done by me on the evening of publishing this, so bear with me, it's far from perfect.
