Name: Be Somebody by Robert Whittaker
Duration: 4 min 24 s
Description: A song about human desire, in love career and wanted to be heard. Nice, soft and relaxing :)

very honest song! wonderful piano, chords played to perfection! :) i haven't even reached the chorus yet!! :D

lovely chorus, nice backing vocals, adds a real good touch to the song as a whole! :) and especially love the higher octave chords right at the end! great song

i guess every songwriter leaves a little bit of themselves in their music . i like how invested you are in your tracks . it feels like you're giving it your all . good work !

Love the way the momentum rises here! Great harmonies at the end! Waiting for more, Robert!

Nice song Robert, well written and produced.

Downlink - Factory (Ajapai Remix)

This is a song I wrote while studying abroad in Granada, Spain in the Fall of 2011.  Due to a smart request, I've now posted the lyrics below:

Home
Is calling from the ocean
But it never seemed so far

Dreams
Dreams that slowly fade
You save and sin, you lose and win
You gain everything and wish it all away

When nothing’s where you left it
There’s one place you can find

Stay
Why would you not stay?
Bring me back to where it mattered

There’s no need to wonder
So long as there’s one breath left in me
And no need to wander far from home

When everything you hoped for
Goes running through the door

Wait, don’t make the same mistake
Exploiting what you’re given, make a living just to put it all at stake

Is nothing left worth knowing
When every goal is reached?

No, should I stay or go?
Tell me, does it really matter?

If only the answers
Were more than just phantoms in the wind
A cool breeze that sweeps me further from…

Home, a place I’ll never know
You save and sin, you lose and win
You gain it all and into the wind it blows


Phantoms

Are You Afraid My Love?

If you've been tuning in to my recent tracks then be prepared for a slight change in sound for this one.  I still plan on posting many more happy, upbeat, beach-like songs in the future, but I'm curious to see what people think of my "other styles."  So feel free to let me know! And as always, thanks for listening!

Be Somebody

A new original song. Very different from my others, I'm kind of playing with new sounds. I do hope you like it. lyrics below

Why can't you hear me?
I'm talking quite loud
Is the voice in my head?
Was it lost in that crowd?
Why can't you hear me?
I'm singing it out
My lungs ache from the crying
There's no cause for doubt.

And I told you I'm sorry
I'm not this girl
I told you I'm trying
not to drown in this world.

Why can't you see me?
I'm standing right here
Has the black of my shadows
Made my face disappear
And why won't you touch me?
I'm lying so still
I won't be any trouble
When's the next pill

And I told you I'm looking
Though it's so very dark
I told you I'm still searching
For our bench in the park

And I long to taste the air outside this space
To sense some warmth upon my face
But I have no feeling
I just keep falling, I'm falling, I'm falling
Keep falling down.

Why won't you help me?
When I'm trying so hard
Are you scared I'll drag you under
If you let down your guard?
Won't anybody help me?
Why do you all pause?
Can you sense in the ether
That I'm a lost cause?

But I promise I'm fighting
No one could do more
I promise I'm clinging on
Though my fingers are raw.

Hush now I'm talking
I can't say it out loud
Too weak even to whisper
No strength to be proud
And you know that I'm sorry
That I can't try anymore
You know I'm too crippled
To swim to the shore.

Can anyone hear me?
