Testing out the Neural DSP Soldano SLO-100 plugin. It’s thick, it’s rich with saturation, and it immediately made me start writing Dad Metal riffs.

Midas Whale

Wrote this one tonight, might as well count it towards the #SongAWeekChallenge. I'm aware the ending sucks

Lyrics:
The sun had dipped between trees, I flew among the leaves
The summer air was hanging low and sticking to your skin
You trapped me in between your hands, I shined my light to see
You showed me off to all your friends, content as you could be

I could be your moonlight
I could be your dawn
I'm the dew under footstep
I'm the breeze on your arms
But I can't stay forever
Cause the trees call my name
But I can't leave you waiting
I'm the moth to your flame

Living in your jar and poking holes to breathe
I bet you want to clip my wings so I would never flee
I'd bathe the world in warm light but I'll never be seen
Sitting in your jar there's no one there but me

I could be your moonlight
I could be your dawn
I'm the dew under footstep
I'm the breeze on your arms
But I can't stay forever
Cause the trees call my name
But I can't leave you waiting
I'm the moth to your flame

Back In Time (Francis and the Lights)

You ever look at the calendar and realize you're another year older? Where did the time go? Are you the kind of person you thought you would be? Here's another one for the #SongAWeekChallenge.

Lyrics:
Cobwebs and brand new shoes
Next to guitars I barely use
It's been weeks since I peeled away from
The small screen that calls my name

Chest colds that last for days
Tunnel vision that never leaves
It's harder to remember things
When you're the one who'll never change

I'll run away when I don't know what to do
I move too fast
I've come unglued

I'm on a plane with broken wings
Trying to escape these tedious things
But I'm lost in the stratosphere
Thinking on how to get away from here

Loose lips, your bastard blues
Free rides and cheaper booze
I know you want to get away from my scene
With room and board, you'll never leave

I'll run away when I don't know what to do
I move too fast
I've come unglued

What’s better than a day off with a loved one? In some cases, your loved one might be a Fender American Telecaster with a one-piece rosewood neck. Just me? Anyways, here’s what I came up with this weekend. Also my first time using Modern & Massive by Getgood Drums. Enjoy.

Days Off With Danielle

Out of all the songs I've put on Soundcloud, the only one that has broken 1,000 plays is a cover from the 1080 Snowboarding Soundtrack, so I thought, why not run it back with one of the best levels in the game?

Golden Forest - 1080 Snowboarding Soundtrack

Depressed at the beach.
Contains an interpolation of Frank Ocean’s “Skyline To”

Lyrics:
The house is settling
She thinks it's ghosts but I've got other ideas
I've got worse stuff up here than someone's dead grandma
I'll take my chances with a poltergeist in flip flops

What if we both got swept to sea?
We'd eat each other just to stay alive
You're already good at chewing on me
I'll take my chances with the hammerheads and great whites.

That's a pretty fast year flew by
That's a pretty long third gear in this car,
Down on 95
Kill the headlights
We all sleep alone sometimes.

I'd love to walk along the shore
The sunset telling me to bring my ass home
My Jordans filling up with sand
I'll take my chances with the shoebies and the vampires.

That's a pretty fast five years flew by
Pretty moonlight
We all sleep alone sometimes.
