New, recent, and wondrous finds from the Picking Up Rocks blog, where we are obsessively devoted to excavating the unjustifiably overlooked, hidden in plain sight & truly underappreciated in the musical universe, old and new !!!

Weekly New Wonders Playlist #16 of 2022

2022.2

Based in Edinburgh, the multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Hector Gachan comes back with a new long-player Care 2 Share after receiving support from radios and indie magazines all over the globe such as Rolling Stone, BIRPFM or La Blogothèque at which the artist will perform a take away show. This LP is a way for the artist to assess his feelings about our world, about universality and humanity through the themes of the self, spaces and hopefulness thanks to indie tunes. The easygoing melody and iconic guitar riff in ‘Better’ will accompany the wandering spirits, those struggling to find their place. It is a promise of warmer days, a mood booster for sure!

Lyrics
Tell me everything you are to me
Tell me everything you want to be
Is it enough to get an idea?
I'll disappear. 

Go where you need to go.
Take what you need to take
Hold what you need to hold
Fake what you need to fake 
Say what you need to say
Do what you need to do
Go where you need to go
I'v made my home with you

Cause Im dreaming of a world where we were lost and now where found
Cause Im dreaming of a world where we were lost and now where found

Tell me we don't feel endangered baby
been warning you forever, don't take it too seriously. 

Go where you need to go.
Take what you need to take
Hold what you need to hold
Fake what you need to fake 
Burn what you need to burn
Break what you need to break
Turn who you need to turn
Fake what you need to fake

Cause Im dreaming of a world where we were lost and now where found
Cause Im dreaming of a world where we were lost and now where found
Cause Im dreaming of a place I never could erase from my mind. My mind.

Lyrics

I found calm out on the water
And I didn’t want to come to shore
I knew that I would see you with your new girlfriend
And I just didn’t want to think about it anymore

So I swam away
Into the waves
I swam away into the blue
I swam away
The wind blew me for days
I swam away from you

I made a life on a desert island
Cause I would rather live alone in silence
Than have to always think about the life I missed
Where you and I were making better promises

So I swam away
Into the waves
I swam away into the blue
I swam away
The wind blew me for days
I swam away from you

Into
Into the blue
Waves come to take me away from you now
Into 
Into the blue
Don’t call my name out
Into
Into the blue
Waves come to take me away from you now
Into 
Into the blue
Don’t call my name out

So I swam away
Into the waves
I swam away into the blue
(Into, into the blue)
I swam away
The wind blew me for days
I swam away from you

LYRICS:


VRS 1:
you’ve hurt your bestfriend for the 100th time
but you play it off like it’s your first ever crime 
you lost your friends trust and you wonder why
take a look in the mirror and you start to cry

PREHOOK:
you chose to keep on lying
to keep yourself from trying
what the hell are you hiding, from

HOOK:
i know i hurt you until the end
but being apart feels like home again
yeah maybe we were meant to be just friends
yeah maybe we were meant to be best friends

i’m sorry i dragged you until the end
but being apart feels like home again
yeah maybe we were meant to be just friends
yeah maybe we were meant to be best friends

VRS 2:
you’ve swallowed the pill for the 100th time
and you lost yourself, you know exactly why
sober self, always wanted to die
i always knew that i was paying the price

PREHOOK:

you chose to keep on lying
to keep yourself from trying
what the hell are you hiding, from

HOOK:
i know i hurt you until the end
but being apart feels like home again
yeah maybe we were meant to be just friends
yeah maybe we were meant to be best friends

i’m sorry i dragged you until the end
but being apart feels like home again
yeah maybe we were meant to be just friends
yeah maybe we were meant to be best friends

BRIDGE:

i’m barely breathing (breathing)
i feel an emptiness in me (in me)
i’m sad you’re leaving
but that’s what you’re needing (needing)

HOOK:
i know i hurt you until the end
but being apart feels like home again
yeah maybe we were meant to be just friends
yeah maybe we were meant to be best friends

i’m sorry i dragged you until the end
but being apart feels like home again
yeah maybe we were meant to be just friends
yeah maybe we were meant to be best friends

i know i hurt you until the end
but being apart feels like home again
yeah maybe we were meant to be just friends
yeah maybe we were meant to be best friends

~~lyrics~~

Why don’t you take off your red shoes
So we can end our night well spent

Why don’t you say what’s on your mind
I won’t run away

I won’t turn away
won't turn away

When morning comes our way
I’ll be here to stay

Staring at a distance
This warmth is hard to find
Sitting in the silence
I gave my best, I tried

Simply a distraction 
I didn’t hope to find 
Sitting by my side 
I hope you’re here to stay

I wrote this song a month or so ago and finally found some chords on the piano to go with it. It's far from perfect and this is actually the first video i took of the song with these chords. I'm pretty proud of it considering the fact that i don't play piano and that i've never written anything before. 
Anyways, i hope you enjoy and i hope to upload again soon.

i wrote my first song and this is it

flunkie - everybody feels

I made this song using entirely sounds around my room. You got the wall, the floor, some tables and some other stuff. I got bored and didn't like the Garage Band presets so I just clapped, hummed, wrote some lyrics, and played two chords on my Ukulele and boom! I got this song.
