wonderful intro and amazing vocal I loved

Very nice song I really like that clean melodic guitar. Such aa cruisy flow to the this  track.

I think you have a really nice voice. I also think you message is beautiful. really well done. but more importantly, long as you like your own music that's what really matters [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

This song is really cool. Vocals are awesome. Great job!

You are really a good writer... loved what you do!!

gives me a heavy Pink Floyd vibe for some reason, especially like the lead guitar

Really touching song with clear influences of Pink Floyd, some progressions remind me the song "Brain damage".

There’s a lovely retro vibe to this composition [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

Wow, serious Roger Waters vibes here! Love it!

This is a song dedicated to the family of a woman who was trapped under a building in the Christchurch 2011 earthquake.  Below is her story. 
A mother-of-two trapped inside a collapsed building after the New Zealand earthquake had to use her teeth to answer her mobile phone because she had lost her fingers, an inquest heard yesterday.

Tamara Cvetanov, 42, was alive in the Canterbury Television (CTV) building in Christchurch after the earthquake in February 2011 that killed 185 and spoke to her husband Alec four times on the phone.

Fireman Manu Clarkson asked Mr Cvetanov if he could get his wife to send him a text message with her exact location but he explained how she had lost her fingers, the Christchurch inquest was told.

Promise of the Sun

I built a fortress, under the sea
you held the ladder, but not for me

you were ascending, while I fell down
no moral endings, the silence was profound

you were a martyr, when no one cared,
the crowd that gathered, they all just stared

you found the courage, when there was none
the hardest lesson, be still when you could run

both sides were certain, both sides were wrong,
both sides deserted, the promise of the sun

don't relapse, don't relapse, don't relapse...

you were a stranger, in foreign lands
you spoke the language, they didn't understand

the mob was shouting, they wanted blood
the mindless smashing, as if they all were drugged

both sides were certain, both sides were wrong,
both sides deserted, the promise of the sun

don't relapse, don't relapse, don't relapse

if you hear laughing, and nothing sane
don't be discouraged, the prisoners run the cage

don't relapse, don't relapse, don't relapse... don't collapse

Promise of the Sun

From deep down in the swamps a band arises.

Catfish Crawl

A mix between metal and new wave maybe, much experimental song

Swing For This

keep meh heart

Purple Days- by S W Schloegl (c) 2014
 a demo i recorded at home. 
guitar and vocals by Sally W Schloegl


Verse 1

It hurt so much-it’s been 20 years
Something he did confirmed my deepest fears
To realise with absolute certainty
He never ever loved me
Not one iota-I was just part of some quota- 
In his head, another notch on his bedstead

Chorus

I’m seeing red
Ooh but I’m feeling blue
You’ve coloured my heart
In almost every hue
I’ve been green with envy
White with rage
I’ll walk around for little while
In a purple haze
Here come those purple days

Verse 2

I was very sure I was quite immune
I’d never ever dance or sing to his tune
I’d theorise with resolute uncertainty
I was fairly sure he missed me
We were just star-crossed lovers
Destined for one another in another life
Huh? What a big fat lie!

Repeat chorus

When I Met You

Ron Snyder - When I Met You (1984)

Careening (prod. Twisted Dev)

Lyrics:

Sitting at home in a basement, living a life of a spaceman. (going crazy)
Don't want to be an experiment. (paranoid)
I had no common sense. (naïve)

That's when the lights went out, and I chose to save the world. (salvation)

I don't want to, I don't need to, but I have to. (obsession and compulsion)

Our love was breaking down. (loss of purpose)
Don't remember her touch now. (loss)
Five years ago we had a fight. (looking back in the past)
Now the nightmares come every night. (taught reality is a lie)

We blew the candle out. (marriage candle)
We chose another world. (a secular world)

When I think back, all the memories, all the plans we made, all the dreams we dreamed.
I didn't see, Hun, all your love gone.
I didn't see my supernova. (I lost it. I lost it.)

We threw the gauntlets down, and we made Hell on Earth. (relationship war)

I don't want to, I don't need to, but I have to.

Fly Away
Though there's nowhere left to fly. (the unknown)
Fly Away
Soaring into the black sky. (the unknown)
Fly Away
Above all my horrid sins. (I failed)
Fly Away
Until I fall and break again. (I fail again and again)
Fly Away
Remember all our memories. (living in the past)
Fly Away
All the things we used to be. (living in the past)
Fly Away.
Will the gods ever let us in? (the mystery is impenetrable)
Fly Away
Will I ever love again?
