This is an alternative version to the one that appeared on Ivor’s 2018 album, Be Good To Yourself. This new version was recorded back then, but has only now surfaced. In between times a choral arrangement appeared, called Sunrise (with harmonies).

Sunrise

จากคนไกลบ้าน

I wrote this entire album in a day, following in the footsteps of People. Just followed where my mind wandered through the day; I think it turned out really great! Hope you enjoy!

This Year Will Be

Your Love Is a Puzzle

You Just Need to Smile

When Will She Fly

Not Gonna Lie is about the slow kind of heartbreak, the kind that doesn’t arrive all at once, but shows up in the pauses, the distance, and the feeling that something important is already fading. It lives in that late-night space where the truth is obvious, but still hard to say.

No chaos, no blame, no pretending. Just the ache of realising you can’t force closeness back into something that’s already slipping out of your hands.

--Lyrics--
There's a line between us,
I can't see it, but I feel it pull.
It's soft and sharp at once,
The air's too heavy, and the words are dull.
I wish I could make it stop,
But I'm the one who let it drop.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm fading out,
Every word I speak is laced with doubt.
I can't tell if we're still the same,
Or just two players in an endless game.
I'm not gonna lie, it's scaring me,
But I can't hold what's not meant to be.

Your eyes wander like they're somewhere else,
A shadow hides where the truth once lived.
I want to reach out, but the ice is thin,
I'm scared to fall, I'm scared to begin.
It's a weight I can't escape,
A ghost we built and can't replace.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm fading out,
Every word I speak is laced with doubt.
I can't tell if we're still the same,
Or just two players in an endless game.
I'm not gonna lie, it's scaring me,
But I can't hold what's not meant to be.

I don't hate you, but I can't stay,
The silence talks louder anyway.
I see you now, but I can't reach,
A lesson I was scared to teach.

I'm not gonna lie, I'll let you go,
The hardest truths are the ones we know.

Coconut cake (what if) - Bongwater remix

Song For The Fallen

A warm Laurel Canyon folk-rock track built on gentle acoustic strumming, light electric piano, and subtle bass, with a melodic female vocal carrying a sense of lived-in storytelling. The song reflects on returning to Baltimore with a softened perspective, where memory, place, and identity settle into something familiar and quietly reassuring. Intimate, nostalgic, and open-hearted with a late-afternoon homecoming feel.

The relaxed groove and narrative warmth make it well suited for character-driven drama, reflective travel sequences, or scenes of reconnection and belonging. Works especially well under sunlit transitions, personal reunions, or moments where a character finds peace with where they’ve been.

Verse 1
It’s okay, baby, I’m not scared.
You don’t need any underwear.
You don’t need a carpenter.
I don’t need anyone but her.
Your hair like smoke in candlelight,
Your breath a ghost against my spine.
You say the world feels sharp tonight,
I say your skin feels just like mine.

Chorus
So come here slow, come here soft,
Lay your worries at my cross.
I’ll hold the pieces when you fall.
I don’t need anything at all,
I don’t need anything at all but her.

Verse 2
Your fingers draw a quiet line
Down every fear I try to hide.
You kiss me like you’ve read my mind,
Take me where the shadows shine.

your hair like smoke in candlelight

LoveBot Army is more than sound. It’s immersive. It’s collaborative. It’s a multi-sensory world built with digital artists, visual storytellers, and rule-breakers across every medium.

Let the music find you.

💖 Let’s create something unforgettable, together.

All lyrics written by a human.

This catalog is an ongoing experiment in songwriting, genre translation, and voice. I write the lyrics, then use AI as an instrument — not a replacement — to explore how the same lyric behaves across styles, tempos, and emotional frames.

Some songs exist in one form. Others exist in many. None are first drafts.

Phrases and Phrases Publishing is a one-person label and archive founded by J. Adam Walters — lyricist, satirist, and (non-practicing) lawyer — focused on work that sits somewhere between sincerity and analysis, humor and discomfort.

From post-punk monologues to Americana character studies to things that probably shouldn’t exist at all, this is a field study as much as a discography, exploring new tools with the intent not to go viral, but to be useful for sync and licensing.

These are tracks that I've recorded over my lifetime so far. some in the studio some on a tape recorder in the middle of all the instruments. I started at 14 and the most recent track I made at 36. some of the tracks are digital and I placed each note in Fl studios. Most are not finished tracks but are raw expressions most of which I made up as I played them. I want you to hear the mistakes and the evolution of the process. Please enjoy
