Updated guitar and voice demo:

Been waiting, and I cannot say
It seems like forever and a day
What am I doing here?

I'm restless, why should I stay?
Been breathless forever and a day
What am I doing here
Forever and a day?

Forsaken, a castaway
And it feels like forever and a day
What am I doing here?
Tell me why am I waiting here?
For so long
Forever and a day

Forever And A Day

Update to this demo of a recent idea:

If I loved you, would you love me too?
If I was true, could I count on you?
And if I wanted more, would you close the door
Or slip on through?

If I said stay, would you fly away
Into the clouds, shape-shifting gray?
Will I ever know all the games you play?
Or will you let go this masquerade?
The glittering show

Oh don't leave me on tenterhooks
I've seen those smiles, those sideways looks
If I loved you, would you love me too?

Are these star struck eyes, am I hypnotized?
Is it you I see or your disguise?
If I said you're my prize, would you answer likewise?
Or disappear, would you vaporize
And bring more tears?

Oh don't leave me standing on this fence
Don't strand me here in such suspense
Now is this my penitence?
If I loved you, would you love me too?

If I Loved You (update)

Kisses of rain feel so strange
In a barren land
These dust bowl days, and sunbaked haze
Felt like quicksand
Oh kisses we've missed, the blade, the twist
The scarlet hand

We've wandered through this wasteland
Thought our labors were misplaced and

We never asked why or turned to the sky
For kisses of rain

Don't laugh, don't cry
Don't say goodbye

We could reminisce, treasure the bliss
That went before
But it's not enough, no not enough
That's for sure
Is it hit or miss, a flick of the wrist?
Is that the score?

A journey through the wasteland
Where dreams are lost, displaced and
Dreamt again

Oh kisses of rain falling again
At the end of time

Now meet me in the wasteland
We won't be disgraced and
We will find our place and let go the shame

Don't laugh, don't cry
Don't say goodbye

Kisses Of Rain

Comb My Hair

Wake up my love
Don't you hide away
We're not children of the dark
No we are the day

And don't fall asleep
Before it is time
Stand ready at the watch
Of the night

Rise up dear one
Let the fog roll away
Let go all you've done
'Cause it's a new day

Now more and more
Rejoice in the sun
And look to the return
Of the king

Oh child, child of the light
You are wild and full of fright
But child, you are the light
It's your wedding day
And you are clothed
Clothed in white

If it doesn't
Doesn't feel quite right
If it wasn't
The end of the night
Hold on to this
This foretaste of dawn
Hear the call
The trumpet

Oh child, child of the light
Running wild and ready to fight
But child, you are the light
It's your wedding day
And you are dressed
Yes dressed
Dressed in white

Child Of The Light

Washed Out

I beg your pardon sir 
I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed
Would you mind starting again? 
Some of the things you said
To me, don't really make any sense
Though I'm trying, I'm trying so hard

But the words I hear 
are not the ones I know
And the road you take
Is not what I was shown
I wanna trust your lead
I wanna trust you so
To see where this could go

No masterpiece at first sight
Don't mean no beauty at all
It reminds me of the first time
that the two of us spoke
kept to yourself, so distant
Like many things I now love
You started from being background
To then grow

So, apologies 
For the time I'll take
It's just that to my ear
You are a brand new song
I wanna trust your lead
I wanna trust you so
Now it's on you 
Please don't prove me wrong

No Masterpiece

1. Strive (with U.Poet)
2. My Way Verse

10. I'm Bout It (with Kings of Convenience)

25th Anniversary (Full Album) (2022)

Random guy who used to write rhymes. Here are some of them. All rhymes are written by me, myself, and I except for the guest features.

I'm featuring myself on those Kings of Convenience songs, which, of course, are written by them. I wrote my own verses, though.

Same for any other track with a prominent singer (Selfishness, Selflessness; The Story of Balaam; Continuity; etc.).

L.C.

Here you will find little acoustic pop songs; melancholy, dreamy-folk things. Sometimes some jangly, fuzzy rock tunes or ambient pieces as well. Work-in-progress demos to finished tracks, informal playlists to official album releases. Enjoy.

“music gives a soul to the universe, 
wings to the mind, flight to the imagination 
and breathes life into fucking everything bruv
