I like synths. I like music featuring synths. It stands to reason, therefore, that I should enjoy re-creating these famous synth sounds at home.  It's fun; it's a game; it's SYNTH GAMES!

All Your Favourite Bands (Dawes Cover)

The first track I've properly released in about a year or two. Based on a memory of a dream of a feeling, which sounds really pretentious but it's true.

As usual I wrote/played/mixed everything.

Verse 1
I live alone, I live a good life
Despotic ruler, but I'm the only one here
Do what I want when I please
But then a coup in my sleep
A faceless angel, a feeling calmer than love
Just neurones firing or influence from above?
And either way I'm in love.


Chorus
You showed me home in a dream but then she drifted away
You showed me hope in the night but then she faded to day

Verse 2
I sat up shivering, and second guessing my head
Did I invent her, or is this something I prayed?
A comfort I didn't know I craved.
To share this bed that I've made.
A faceless angel, a feeling calmer than love
Just neurones firing or influence from above?
And either way I'm in love.

Chorus
You showed me home in a dream but then she drifted away
You showed me hope in the night but then she faded to day
I felt warmed by the sun and the removal of weight
I woke up cold and alone and now I'm all that remains


Middle
It's been so easy, it's been so easy for them
It hasn't happened, hasn't happened for me yet.
Could this be something I get?

Recorded a quick production cover of one of my fave Ryan Adams songs. I played everything.

for some reason I always expected TLC's vocals to come in over this beat so I made it happen.

Tom Petty - It'll All Work Out

Brand New - Soco Amaretto Lime

Biffy Clyro - Joy. Discovery. Invention.

A cover of my favourite @EverythingEverything song.

My name's Peanut and I live in Cardiff. I like to write, perform and record music of a variety of styles. Always up for a collaboration.

I play Alternative/Electro Indie Rock as 'BRIGHTLIGHTS'

I put out Ben Folds Five/Sufjan Stevens-esque power pop as 'The Incomparable Peanut'.

I also really love bands/artists like Jimmy Eat World, Brand New, Arcade Fire, Ryan Adams, Thrice, Counting Crows, Mute Math, Switchfoot, Coldplay, Elliott Smith, ELO, Foo Fighters etc....
