First thing i have written in  a very long time - penned it really quickly. I guess it's not totally finished - needs a second guitar or another dynamic to it, but i guess im pretty happy with it. 

As always, i'm no singer, and it was recorded in one take on my iphone - so i apologise.

Oh heartbreak oh breaker
You don't even know
All the boys love you
Cause they feel all alone
You're the friend that they want
They're the friend in need
Heartbreak oh breaker
Please don't break me

There's something in your smile
A softness in your touch
My thoughts are running wild
It's almost too much
But I don't know what I want
Maybe I'm a friend in need
Heartbreak oh breaker
Please don't break me
Please don't break me

i've no words to say
I've already said enough
If I could only tell you
Maybe I'd be in luck
The best thing for both of us
Is if I take my leave
Heartbreak oh breaker
Please don't break me
Please don't break me

Heartbreaker

This was about a random I saw in cafe lounge just off Oxford St.
I was kicking myself for not having the guts to talk to her, even though
we did the whole smile at each other from across the room, then look away, then look back and smile again and then look away but like cutesy awkwardly. Dumbest thing i ever did was walk out, because i looked back in the door as i left and she looked a little sad, and mouthed bye to me. 
So yeah. Im a douche. But hey, i got a song out of it, and who knows what other random encounters ill have in life that will happen in the future so. It was weird though cause like i had a dream once a week or less before of
my life in the future, but the instant i saw her it played out like a dream id had about film or something id seen once, like happy memories and scenes and me and a someone just having fun and being ridiculously happy but can't remember that name of that film, and this girl, pretty much looked exactly like the girl in my dream. And yeah i know it sounds cliche to say she was the girl of my dreams, but i mean it in a literal sense, like i actually dreamed of her, or her resemblance, and then all of a sudden she appeared? It was just a random, pleasant life little happening.
Anyway, enough rambling on my part, im sorry the vocals aren't better, again, im not a singer, and it was done in one take on my iphone as usual, so the quality isnt the best.
But i actually really like this song, as perhaps my favourite ive ever written. 
Ive been trying to come up with music for it for so long as i usually write the lyrics first, and it's literally from April year when i wrote it. Anyway, this is just a rough idea of what the song will be like.
SO yeah, Hollywood girl comes from not knowing her name, and seeing someone who looks like her, with me in a movie-like a dream.
I am but one person, and i've done the best i can with it by myself.
Thanks for listening :)

(She's my) Hollywood girl

Verse 1
The Brunette hair, and those eyes that make you stare
Oh you're my, Hollywood girl
And I flash my smile, let you know that I'm there
Oh hollywood scenes, make life feel make believe
I don't talk to you, I got caught up
Oh Hollywood girl, you might have been the one

chorus
I didn't think you'd be real
But there you are
I didn't think you'd be here
But there you are
And yes I'm scared- was not prepared
When I walked in this place
Oh Hollywood girl, I'll never forget that face

Verse 2
So I left alone, and I got home
Oh Hollywood girl, I should have let you know
So maybe you see, I'll live out my dreams one day
With my Hollywood girl, She'll take my breath away.

chorus

Verse 3
And if I tried, I wouldn't get too far, so i think that i wont
Oh hollywood girl, I'll have to let you go
We shared a smile, but nothing more
Oh hollywood girl, Why did I walk out that door?






cheers, Scotty.

Hollywood Girl

I haven't played or sung in a very, very long time. 
This is the result of a Saturday night in, and trying to get my fingers to remember how to play guitar. 
I'm by no means a vocalist, and this was recorded in one take on my LGv20 phone. 
Hope you enjoyed it,

We miss you Bowie.

Heroes - David Bowie cover - 09 - 09 - 2017

Bored at home, this is the product of trying to play guitar again.
I am by no means a singer, but gotta give these things a go, you know? 

Cheers for listening,

Recorded in one take on my LG V20.

Feel So Close - Calvin Harris - 13 - 9-17

About the same nameless dream girl, that i sort of wrote about in "Hollywood Girl". 
Just from another dream, of another scene. Wrote and recorded this in about 10mins.
I actually think it's my favourite thing ive done. But yeah, this is just simple. I like simple.
Apologies for dodgy recording, it was done in one take on my iphone. 
Cheers.

we sit around the campfire
and drink and talk till dawn
i couldnt bare to wake you
you look too cute snoring
in the morning we'll go for a walk
see what the day has in store
and in the arvo we'll head home
and it'll leave me wanting more

oh just to be with you
just to be with you

people come and go
but im hoping you will stay
see in all this fun i know
that the darkness fades away
as you sleep by the campfire
i see the smile on your face
and though you'll never know it
my breath was taken away

oh just to be with you
just to be with you
here

now things have changed
as everything always does
we sit around the campfire
as the flames turn to dust
i look up at the stars
theyre such a sight to see
and i look upon you sleeping
tomorrow we'll awake from our dream

Dawn

This song is about that hazy point people always seem to have when they reflect on their lives... and how they feel theyve wasted away, and could have reached out and dreamed bigger dreams...
It's called Dusk because those people who at dusk, feel kinda hazy. And the sky is kinda not night, but not day. It's not really clear what time dusk is, and yeah.
SO basically ive been listening to Mumford and Sons since i got out of bed this morning.... and this was the result of an idea in my head that's been brewing for days.
I wish i had a husky voice, and more of me, but i did what i could for one take and my dodgy iphone recordings haha
actually happy with it.
I kinda got tired playing towards the end, thus why the last chord i kinda just strummed whatever.

cheers


take two steps forward
and one step back 
that's how you seem to always live your life
see while you venture out
you seem to stop
before you ever reach the line
and you know theres a life out there
you could reach out 
and grab it if you try
it seems youre much too scared
and some what unawares 
that you have lost your mind


now you are just wasting away
yes you are just wasting away
dont let this be the case
dont let this be your fate

you've come a long way from the start
now listen your heart
or you'll freeze
you know you have a choice 
to change into 
who you want to be
and although you think youre clever
really youre just the same
as silly me
see both of us have made mistakes
but thats so we can learn
how to dream

so please don't waste away
yes you're just wasting away 
dont let this be your case
don't let this be your fate


Dusk

So i wrote this sometime last year when i was real super happy. But i think anyone can relate to it. It's recorded in one take on my iphone as usual, but this one i plan to re-record with someone else singing. I actually like how its come about, considering i recorded it yesterday cause i was sitting around with nothing else better to do. So i hope you enjoyed it, and thanks for listening. It's folky sounding, and i like the direction im heading in. I think. .. .. haha
Yes it was written about someone, but it is what it is, a song for someone, and they can be anyone. Anyone you want it to be about. Any some one. And hallmark card, well because it's just like one big thank you really.

A Song For Someone

those lips those eyes
that smile and that touch
the way you walk
your shoes and your socks
and never have i ever
been taken quite as such
the world around dont matter
well at least not as much

and so i fell 
heart first for you
it knew straight away
and my head soon followed too
i felt so full of life
i could have jumped over the moon
oh this time i know i have got it pretty good

and i just want to thank you
for showing me how life could be
and i just want to thank you
for givng up your time to put up with me

and see i know 
this for sure
you're the one that i
adore
im giving all i can
i just wish that i had more
it was lucky for me you had a fall
                
i get lost in your eyes
whenever im with you
and no matter how i am 
you always put me in a good mood
and though i have no plans
theres not one thing i'd rather do
then spend my time here with you

cheers.


A Song For Someone (Hallmark Card)

I wrote this at 4am ish one morning sometime in the past, and picked it up again this morning, at 4ish am, and decided to finish it.
I really love the lyrics ive written. I like the way i think it flows, and i like the way it's come together.
I hope you've enjoyed reading/listening, as much as i enjoyed writing it.
I apologise for the dodgy quality, it was taken on my iphone, and i wish i could sing better.
Anyways, thanks for the time :)


Life is an Art

if i could paint a face
id paint a smile for all to see
then id add those eyes
the same colour as the sea
id paint and paint till i were done
your face is what i'll make
and i would change not one thing
you're perfect in every way

and in this picture i would paint
my best depiction of me
and it in we would be together
young happy and free
by the beach and under the stars
there's no end to places we'd share
counting sheep or grains of sand
for time we do not care

cause while this is art
it imitates life
if you have some paint and a brush
get out and give it a try

this picture could hang nice and framed
for the world around to gaze
wishing they had, what we have
in dreams and thoughts theyd daze
careful care i had taken
so our picture did not smudge
will it stand, the test of time
no artist knows this much

cause while this is art
it imitates life
if you have some paint and a brush
why dont you give it a try

perhaps some more ill paint for us
there's no end to what comes next
maybe ill paint a few different things
and see what i like best
and while you might only exist for now
inside my picture frame
ill have to keep my eyes open
ill find you one day


cheers

Life is an Art

I wrote this song after hearing this lyric - "And when sometimes I believe I've found the one, She'll remind me we were only having fun, Yeah they tell me all the time,  That's the biggest fault of mine, so i'll remain the position im assigned"  (The Secrecy of Mon Amie, by, Jay Jay Pistolet) -  and after talking to a few friends over the years, and realised i realise that sometimes we all seem to rush into things, and get disappointed with the outcomes. 
Sometimes there's no one to blame, and it just happens, for better or worse.
It's no ones fault, it's just life, y'know? 
And then there's the fear that if we don't act upon something when we get the chance, we'll lose that chance forever.
Anyway apologies for the dodgy singing and recording, im not a vocalist, and this was recorded on my iphone. Hopefully it'll turn into something one day. 
It's about no one in particular, just life. 

Pause



And when I stopped to think about it
I just fell in love with your eyes
you know I just couldn’t help it
I wanted to see truth in, our lie

And I know this is wrong
and sometimes im too naïve to be strong

And I couldn’t control it
I just fell in love with, your smile
yeah I just couldn’t help it
I just had to see you, all the time

And I would never have let you down
but we’re way past that now


And our lives they are a changing
and our times will come again
maybe not together
but we’ll find some other friends
but if I had my time over
I wouldn’t change a thing
except perhaps our ending
but I guess ill start again 



And when I stopped to think about it
maybe I was, a little blind
yeah the funny thing about it
is maybe I’d lost a little bit of my mind

And I see it all clear
we were always going to end up here


And I just should have waited
should have taken the time to, realise
that even though you’re amazing
we just weren’t going to, synchronize

And this is how it goes
but we weren’t to know

Pause - Scotty Wombat

Alright so i just started playing and singing, and this is the result. Actually pretty stoked with it.
It was just fun and easy. I recorded it in one take on my new Samsung S3 Galaxy, and it's the first thing i've recorded in a while. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as i enjoyed making it.
Pretty easy to work out what it's about, but it's really not about anything specific at all.
Cheeers!

"No Sex Today"

You come over to my place
You say we need to talk
I wish I had been listening
Causes my clothes are on the floor
You said what are you doing standing there naked?
I said I thought that's not what you were gonna say
Well can you put your clothes back on?
I said what, no sex today? 
No sex today

You tell me to sit down
No expression on your face
You mutter something softly
I wasn't listening anyway
So I reach out for your knee
Seems like I have made a mistake
And as I start to kiss your neck you push me off
I said what, no sex today?
No sex today

So I finally heard what you had to say
And I just stare at the floor
You just look at me blankly
I guess this means we can't have sex anymore
I said why did this have to end?
I thought we had a good thing
Why must you go away?
Can we at least have sex today?
Can we sex today?

No sex today, no sex today...



No Sex Today

This is the product of a rainy day and too much time on my hands.

It is basically about a weird dream i had last night
about Gypsies journeying across the desert
and weird things kept happening to them one by one.
If that dream were a movie, this song would be the one
playing at the end of the film as the credits were rolling 
up the screen. 

I envision maybe some flamenco clapping and perhaps some high pitched string parts to be added to it
BUT perhaps at another time.

I hope you enjoyed listening to it as much as i enjoyed making it.
It was recorded on my phone, using one guitar, in one take.

Cheers!
