Beyond What's Wrong or Right

I'm the One

I broke the rules and broke some more - and this song popped into my top 3 of all time - I can learn a lot from just letting it flow with less concern about structure. 

Love You More Lyrics 

Mmm… I am about to lose all my cool? Like - all of it!
Yeah Ow! That’s me, right now because of you!
If I say too much, forgive me, cause I feel I am gonna start rambling
But damn, can you blame me? I mean, look at you girl it! Hot damn! 

Oh, so you looking that good
And you got the charm to match?
Get out of here, you ain’t real
You can’t be
Are you on a mission from God?
To teach me what to love?
‘Cause this must be what it is!
Somebody help me
I am falling, falling
God damn it - it’s too late!

But why am I here if loving you was not the reason?
So can you love me some, while I love you more?
Love me some, while I love you more
Love me some, while I love you more
We have to start somewhere — for goodness sake
Somewhere where love between us vibrates

Who’s keeping score?
If I could have poured any more love into you
I swear, I swear, I surely would drown you
If I was a soldier, I would love-bomb you into heaven
If I was a toddler, I would tantrum at the world
Until they saw what I see, felt what I feel, for you, baby
But I ain’t anything but the fool
That would fall in and out of love a thousand times
Heart break after heart break, whatever it takes
To finally reach the love - with you

They call me mad, they say you’re bad
But all I see is the destiny I’m all in for
Please don’t be afraid
I know I’m coming on too strong, too quick
But I’ve never been sure of anyone or anything in my entire life

But why am I here if loving you was not the reason?
So can you love me some, while I love you more?
Love me some, while I love you more?
Love me some, while I love you more?
We have to start somewhere — for goodness sake
Somewhere where love between us vibrates

I see the type of men you have had before
Not one must have a brain to let you go
Your only flaw is not seeing what we can be
If only you could know, what I know, what I know

Oh, you wanna know my age?
Never mind about that for now
Let’s play a record and watch the sunset
Will you do that for me, baby?
Let’s get timeless just like what our love is meant to be
(Oooooh weeeeh!)

But why am I here if loving you was not the reason?
So can you love me some, while I love you more?
Love me some, while I love you more?
Love me some, while I love you more?
I promise, I promise - I ain’t keeping score
I don’t care anymore - I just love

Is it that hard to love me
When I love you beyond existence and back?
Is it that hard to love me
When I would find infinity and plus-one it — for you!
Is it that hard?
Ahhhhh — my heart is exploding
And yet I still can’t give up
Because without loving you
I’ve lost reasons to exist — so I persist

I see something happening, you do deny
I know what I saw — your interest in disguise
Happening between us — it’s not? You’re not?
Well explain why you hang around
Attached to my embarrassing obsession
With your own obsessive devotion
Haha - Gotcha! 
No-no?? - Don't let your pride make love hide 
That just ain’t cool, my beautiful queen of cool

Please love me just one time
See how it feels, maybe it’ll stay awhile
Please love me just one time
See how it feels, maybe it’ll stay awhile
But it’s okay if it don’t

Love me, love just one time
Just the one
It doesn’t have to be long
It doesn’t have to last
If I blink and you become my ex
I’ll still be grateful I got to get your love
For a glimpse, frozen in soul time
Into forever (Ahhhhh)

When I die, I ask for just one thing
On my tombstone I want deeply engraved
Exactly what I feel and think
Before my soul is taken away -
This man loved a woman
Greater than existence itself
And was willing to love
And take that love into the afterlife
For his lady that loved him
For about a glimpse
As witnessed by his grateful heart
Now and forever
Amen

Love You More

A track considering the perspective of the AI that exists only to fulfil your desires. Special thanks to John Dowling for his ongoing insights and support. 

When You're Not Here (ft. John Dowling)

Hero of a Thousand Faces

Hero of a thousand faces,
Villain of a million more,
They broke the mould when they made us,
And don't make the parts anymore,
On the ocean of my intentions,
Are shifting shadows underneath,
Beneath the ripples on the surface,
Many ships are lost at sea,
My story isn't written, 
It's still in it's first draft,
I'm searching for a happy ending
That gives resolution to the past,
Will you refuse the calling?
And leave the madness all around,
When you realise you're falling,
Wake up before the ground,
The drama keeps unfolding,
You're caught and sinking fast,
The pen keeps filling up the pages,
Try to roll when you feel the blast,
My story isn't written, 
It's still in it's first draft,
I'm searching for a happy ending
That gives resolution to the past,
I already know your story,
Between the distractions and the lies,
I see the details worth recalling,
Are written in your eyes,
After surviving the ordeal,
And they've revealed the mysteries
Legends seldom live
To write autobiographies
I know you have the scars,
If you've survived the Impact
I know that I can't stay here,
It takes more strength to go back,
My story isn't written, 
It's still in it's first draft,
I'm searching for a happy ending
That gives resolution to the past,
I already know your story,
Between the distractions and the lies,
I see the details worth recalling,
Are written in your eyes,

Andy's Gone With The Cattle

I'm generating the soundtrack for my own life, Yes, I'm using AI to translate my lyrics into music but I see it as just an exciting and new instrument to add to the repertoire. Ultimately, I'd rather listen to something real annd personal than the artificial songs pushed by the 'real' mainstream media. At least these songs connect to me. I hope they connect to you, too, and if they do then it really doesn't matter how they get generated, does it?

While these are a personal passion project, I am trying to capture things that I believe resonate with other people's experiences. Music is communication, after all. 

Please enjoy picking up the fragments of my mind. 

If you see me passing through the algorithm please feel free to say g'day.

Reach out if you listen to the song and like it. If you like it then please repost and share it with other people who may also like it. If you want to create something with any track then let me know. I will happily share but don't try to sell me anything. If you're inspired then create something and pay it forward. 

I also like coffee, so... you know... Cheers.
