As I mentioned in another recent song post, @dough-factory and I have collaborated on a bunch of music in years past. This is the second recent song from us, eventually to be included on an upcoming album. 

Ryan came up with the original drums and bass seed of this song, sent it to me and I laid down some guitar and synth. He then arranged the pieces and added a killer vocal track. He also gets credit for the production work on this one. Thanks for listening, friends!

Here is a link our other recent track, Dive:

Lyrics:

(verse1)
Rich in lifestyle, born to run wild.
Hellbound nation, choose right wiseguy.
Societie’s fabric, built on pure lies.
Stick to the boundaries, live and let die.
Was it all planned from beginning?
A race for land and food, the greed unending
Forgive me if I’m rude, but stop pretending.
You won’t want one side to lose if you were on the other 
The pull the push, so strong, get in line follow your leader
that’s magnetic, that’s magnetic

(Chorus)
I’m the solution to the mystery that cannot be solved.
A dream, a hope, a pray, I’ve seen evolve 
From what’s the answer to the problem 
to the problem being solved
The mystery has a magnetic need, for an answer to be solved
The mystery has a magnetic need, for an answer to be solved
Love is still the answer, love is still the answer

(Verse2)
The magnetic pull, Music has on my soul.
Vibrations of energy, sparks of sequence inside of me.
The essence of it all, is like a freefall
Music pull me from within, is all that I recall.
I don’t question destiny, was written inside of me
It’s not hidden,  so all can see,
Things are as they should be
Things are as they should be
that’s magnetic, that’s magnetic

(Chorus)
I’m the solution to the mystery that cannot be solved.
A dream, a hope, a pray, I’ve seen evolve
From what’s the answer to the problem 
to the problem being solved
The mystery has a magnetic need, for an answer to be solved
Love is still the answer, love is still the answer [echo]
(verse1)
(Chorus)

Magnetic

Having a little play with this new track experimenting and expanding. I will be developing this much further.

Autumn Etude - Improvised Piano Piece

I have decided to take you into my studio lair for a peak into the cobwebs, corners and hidden nooks; the very mad-house of my thinking, or at least as best I can recollect the moments of……"Song Creation". I will use a single song to highlight my process. My friends and fellow song creators may recognize strands of their own process here, however, it is understood, that song formation has no right way or wrong way. It is as individual and eclectic as art itself. That is what keeps it fun. I will keep the write-ups short but will pile them on in increments until you or I have had enough. You can find these write-ups at this link: https://davidhusted.com/blogs/1-sleeping-softly-in-this-bed/posts/7601774/one-song-s-journey

Thank You

Song Lyrics
Eclipse
By David Husted


I'm trapped by a devil who controls the scrolling screen  
When I come back up I can't remember my name
so filled with dread cuz I'm waitin' on that judgement day
Swipe away this lonely pain

Tik-Tok, Reels and YouTube Shorts  
I'm jacked in, I can't abort
Cut this thread or waste away

Woke up on the sand with waves erasing your name
Eclipse, burning my eyes as she takes me to a higher plane
This veil of flames, and I don't know how much time remains
As daylight dims, this might be it
This might be it, will I taste the world again?

It's been three days since I threw my phone away
All went quiet but the tears and body shakes  
And the day light bows to the moon's deep blues
And in this mystery, I still miss you
 
Tik-Tok, Reels and YouTube Shorts  
I'm jacked in, I can't abort
Cut this thread or waste away

Woke up on the sand with waves erasing your name
Eclipse,  burning my eyes as she takes me to a higher plane
This veil of flames, and I don't know how much time remains
As daylight dims, this might be it
This might be it, will I taste the world again?

Just messing around learning, experimenting, playing and expressing myself. My little collection of demos, songs, experiments and instrumentals. I hope you enjoy them. I'm a guitarist / Vocalist / Producer and enjoy learning to express my moods, emotions, dreams and thoughts as I go.
