Lyrically and musically powerful Steph. Sad that it has to be written, but it's written so well.

wow....this is powerful.....gorgeous song, Steph!!!

feels kind of wierd to say liked this one due to the subject matter and realness of it for you...as a piece of art and as an outlet or cathartic exercise it is truly outstanding work.

I am deeply impressed by the way you handle the topic with those strong lyrics and the haunting musical atmosphere. What a song!

I could feel the fright and relentless resistance. Goes right to my brain stem.

Girl in the Box

All music & lyrics by Dred Fouglas


Lyrics: 

Hold on to my horns, babe,
there's a little place I want to take you 
Where the graveyard hounds howl all night,
and the moon shines its mad jack-o'-lantern light
Come on, give me your witchy love
Witchy love

Gonna lay you down on my tombstone, girl
All lit up with will-o'-the-wisp 
Not a pair of living eyes for miles,
only the vacant stares of skulls left in piles 
Come on, give me your witchy love
Give me your witchy love
Witchy love 

Been dying just to lick your 
broken-glass body with my forked tongue
Watch me burn my name into your skin
You’ll never want to leave here again
Burn my name into your skin
You’ll never want to leave here again
Come on, give me your witchy love
Give me your witchy love
Give me your witchy love

Witchy Love

giant steps up

Taken from my album Tales of generation x
People may ask themselves over time of why carry a burden and stay alone? and to not find love
I carry a lot of love and desire ,we are on this planet for a very short time and people need to find the right person and the right kind of love and friendship otherwise we might waste our energy and freedoms in the wrong direction if you find a spark try and keep it lit

Tokyo Rain

Cherry blossom in her hair
Just like the way that you remember her
Black eyelashes like feathers
The way that you remember her
 
In the Tokyo rain
In the Tokyo rain
 
She’s a wreckage on the street in the shadow of your life
Just like the way that you remember her
She’s the ghost you can’t forget
She’s that half-forgotten smile
Just like the way that you remember her
 
In the Tokyo rain
In the Tokyo rain
 
She’s holding onto you, like she’s frightened of the night
Just like the way that you remember her
She’s the ghost you can’t forget
She’s that half-forgotten smile
Just like the way that you remember her
 
In the Tokyo rain
In the Tokyo rain

Tokyo Rain - Steph Sweet and drunkeninstrumentcorporation

Rape
Holding, waiting, hoping, praying.
Those who do not hear, a mire, a morass.
A crack, a slit, a hairless abyss,
A crevice, a bloodied ravine,
Iron-claw man.
Eager forceps.
Blocking the hands,
Pushing away the mounting mass.
Methodical pincers,
Sterilised fingers,
Bending, breaking. Insatiable hands.
Fighting and shoving and clawing,
Keep breathing, keep moving.
I’m fighting and shoving, not screaming,
Breathing.
Keep moving.
I’m blocking and stopping and halting
And running. And running.
Keep running.
Skitter in silver light, barefoot and bleeding.
Hurry up the hill, keep breathing, keep breathing.
Footfall.
A van door goes slamming behind me.
Stop, freeze, go silent.
Footfall.
Van door.
Fighting and shoving and clawing,
Keep breathing, keep moving.
Breathing, I’m fighting and shoving, not screaming.
Breathing.
Keep moving.
I’m blocking and stopping and halting
And running. And running.
Keep running.
In silver light, barefoot and bleeding.
Hurry up the hill, keep breathing, keep breathing.
“ What d’you think you’re gonna do? Where d’you think you’re gonna go?
What d‘you think you‘re gonna do? Where d‘you think you’re gonna go? ”
 Fighting and shoving and clawing,
Keep breathing, keep moving.
I’m fighting and shoving, not screaming,
Breathing. 
Keep moving.
I’m blocking and stopping and halting
And running. And running.
Keep running.
Skitter in silver light, barefoot and bleeding.
Hurry up the hill.
Keep breathing.
Keep breathing.
Written, performed, recorded and mastered by Steph Sweet in July 2015 in England

Edie Review " Thankfully Steph is still ploughing her particular esoteric furrow and has just released her new single Edie which is as good as anything she's released to date. It sounds like a darkly psychedelic theme from a long forgotten  left field spaghetti western and it's absorbing and utterly enchanting. If the Velvet Underground had been commissioned to do the title track for the Good, The Bad and the Ugly, this is how it would sound." The Devil Has The Best Tuna 13th May 2022

Gigradar "British singer-songwriter Steph Sweet freely admits she’s a “refined taste” but it’s difficult to not be intrigued by her feisty, often contentious approach to pyschy acoustic indie-rock meets punk brand of music."

Popocculture
"Steph Sweet has brought an interesting and new sound to this area.
With powerful vocals, and swirlly and crunchy guitar riffs that wouldn’t sound out of place in a late 90’s britpop, yet grounded somewhere more in the early 80’s. “All The Things” is dark, broody, a little strange, but also interestingly an ear worm that will grab you and not let go." 

" If the Bronte sisters formed a freak folk band then it'd probably sound something like this." 
Paul Kerr - The Devil Has The Best Tuna

" Placed somewhere between Devandra Banhart and Joanna Newsome, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist  -  vocals, guitars, drums, keyboards  -   combines a talent for bewitching songwriting, with a dreamy, lo-fi alt-gaze delivery."
