Mega Mix Tape 2

I wrote this song today and although I liked the song, I played around with editing on Audacity and found the reverse effect.  So I reversed the main part and added other tracks the right way round.  I sung all vocals and played piano and strings on a yamaha P121 digital piano.  Used a Roland Duo Capture Ex interface and Shure SM 58 mic.  I like the result and would be interested to hear your thoughts.

It Always Stays The Same

grey dream

what do you do with your evenings?

probably the last of this style

evenings

two legs to carry me home when im too stoned to make it alone
gets me to where i need to go midnight stroll
walk down my street with my new plastic feet

two legs to help me climb high the mountain is tall makes me feel small under it all
its been said before you best take a seat
you wont get too far with your new plastic feet

two legs to help me run quick so i can escape the daily routine that i have made
hear the sound of water from a slow running creek
and in it ill put my new plastic feet

two legs to jump over coals through burning hoops the edge of a cliff look at the view
stay in the shade away from the heat
you know it might melt my new plastic feet

two legs to wander the world and look for a girl who speaks in a language ive never heard
she will be kind she will be sweet
but most of all love me and my plastic feet

two legs and i can swim through the current and tides of sea deep and blue
keeping my head above water trying not to sink
as the fish try to eat my new plastic feet

two legs and i can walk through the pillars and gates that i once knew
look around and wonder but nothing can keep
me from tripping over my new plastic feet

two legs to get me to war so i can die a beautiful death wreaths at the door
not a word will be spoken they'll look down and see
all that is left are new plastic feet

2 Legs To Carry Me

Pacific Highway South

Campers  

My parents were campers, we wandered around
We washed in the river and slept on the ground
With a kerosine lantern to see by at night 
And aluminum cups full of Crystal Delight

They’re all gone forever after only awhile
To me it was not about nothing
It was more than a signature style

I gave him a hundred, which was all that I got
I fired her up and I drove off the lot
She was painted by hand, but tipping the scales
Was a sticker that showed my concern for the whales

She’s all gone forever after only awhile
To me she was not about nothing
She was more than a signature style

My mind is in order my soul is inspired
In robe and in sandals I’m simply attired
And I live in this place with these brothers of mine
Where we think, and we pray, and we fast all the time

Till we’re all gone forever after only awhile
To me it is not about nothing
It’s more than a signature style

Inspired by the silent film "L'inhumaine" (The unhuman woman, 1924). 
Spoken words are screen text from that movie, except words by
master of ceremonies in the middle of the track.

La roue sociale

This one is something I've been playing over and over for months, never really having any definite lyrics, just all subconscious meandering, never wrote a word down, a little different to my usual process. 

lyrics 

All men are strangers to the touch
one femme fatale with the golden locks
I'm done with hesitating knockout!
debilitating
just show me that you really care

I know it's hard loving one man
but you must do all the best that you can
I'm done with hesitating knockout!
debilitating
just show me that you really care

I know that the word is out
all over town
they only pick you up
right before
when they're knocking you to the ground

cu me ce va I heard him saying
but I don't care for the game that you're playing
I'm done with hesitating knockout!
debilitating
just show me that you really care

I know that the word is out
all over town
they only pick you up
right before
when they're knocking you to the ground

I know that In life is strange
stuck on the inside of a hurricane
and there I will remain 

Thanks for listening and inspiring folks, always greatly appreciated 🙏✌️

Hello! Thanks for stopping by.  I write songs in reaction to life, quite often my own, or the lives of those around me.  Sometimes my song tells me what I'm thinking before I've even realised myself.  
I hope there is something here that resonates with you, I'd be really delighted to hear your comments.  
I started writing and playing again in March 2015 after a break of about 20 years having realised that life is short and I'd better crack on! I self released my 9 track CD 'Your Life' in 2017 and have since written many songs which will eventually end up on a 2nd 'album'!  I’ve had a couple of radio plays on BBC Introducing and played at a few local singers nights, but I’m really blown away by this Soundcloud community,  there’s a treasure trove of real music on here and the support is really appreciated.  
March 2021 update I've been teaching myself keyboard and have found it an inspiration for song writing and so my more recent tracks are written and performed with the piano keyboard.  
First memory of being captured by Songwriting was sitting behind a sofa aged 10 at a party and discovering Carol King’s Tapestry and a turntable. Teenage years dominated by an obsession with David Bowie, his word craft, imagery, story telling and his example of being able to constantly reinvent himself and not be pigeonholed. 
All tracks are my own compositions and performances except extra rhythm guitar and percussion on ‘Doing Time’ which was Carl Hetherington. 
Most of the images I have used are my own original artwork.  I now have an Instagram page where I’ll be posting my art at rowenaartandmusic
