Laura C - Make Each Day Better - 01 - Make Each Day Better

I Fall For You

You Don't Have to Tell Me Twice is a raw R&B/Soul anthem that dives deep into the painful clarity of a love's end, a truth seen long before words are spoken. It explores the bitter taste of a partner's deception and the defiant strength found in letting go. The song captures that gut-wrenching realization when you know it's over, even as lies are still being told, empowering the listener to find their voice and close the door on a chapter destined to end. With its raw, emotional vocals and a narrative drawn directly from the lyrics, this track is a journey of self-preservation, of seeing through the untruths, and stepping away with dignity. It’s for anyone who has felt that agonizing moment when the reality hits, making you realize you’re not blind, and you don’t have to be told twice. This powerful song blends the deep soul tone and expressive phrasing of the Teddy Swims Like persona with a story of heartache and truth, sounding like someone pouring their heart out while trying to hold on. The cinematic build and raw vulnerability in the delivery make it a profound statement on acknowledging the end and moving forward.

You Don't Have to Tell Me Twice

You Don't Have to Tell Me Twice - The Truth Was Always Clear

"Gotta Tell You" is a powerful and emotional Soul/Pop song from Jonesy200, the next song in the "80's in the 20's" playlist. This track is a masterclass in a cinematic, soulful sound. With its breathy, intimate tenor, the song immediately draws you into a story of confession and overwhelming guilt. The lyrics are a raw and honest look at a moment of betrayal, and the devastating choice to tell the truth and risk everything. The song's urgent pre-chorus builds to a powerful and emotional chorus that captures the fear of losing love forever. The instrumentation, with its rising strings and saxophone fills, creates a dramatic and theatrical feel. This song is a tribute to the power of honesty and the consequences of our actions. It's a poignant narrative about love, betrayal, and the difficult choice to be honest. It's a testament to Jonesy200’s ability to take a timeless sound and give it a powerful new voice.

Lyrics
Gotta Tell You

Standing here next to you, cannot look you in the eye
Guilt for what I have done is raging through my mind
Should of realised that I was jeopardising everything we have (ooooh why …why)

How do I tell you without losing you forever
Know I can’t live this life without you, no I can’t
Can’t live with this guilt either, gotta tell you (oooh ….yeah)
I wish right now I could turn back time, take you in my arms

This might be my last day, I’m ever going to hold you
This might be my last day, you will ever want me
This might be my last day, never going to love you again
But cannot live with this guilt, gotta tell you (gotta tell you)

No excuse, drank too much but even so (I knew, yeah I knew)
I could of walked away, but I didn’t and I am guilty
Guilty of betraying you and our love (deserves what is coming)
Guilty actions deserve no sympathy, they deserve no sympathy

This might be my last day, I’m ever going to hold you
This might be my last day, you will ever want me
This might be my last day, never going to love you again
But cannot live with this guilt, gotta tell you

Never going to hold you (oooh no)
Never going to love you again
Can’t live without you (no, no, no)
Gotta tell you (Whoa ….ooooh ….oooh …yeah)

This might be my last day, I’m ever going to hold you
This might be my last day, you will ever want me
This might be my last day, never going to love you again
But cannot live with this guilt, gotta tell you (gotta tell you)

Gotta tell you … (falsetto sustain)
Gotta tell you … (soft fade with sax)

Gotta Tell You

Gotta Tell You - An emotional confession with an 80's twist

My Own Angel is a cinematic pop ballad about love returning after distance, told with tenderness, resolve, and a soaring sense of conviction.
It opens in a hush, as if a secret is being shared in the dark, then breathes brighter with each bar and breath until the room fills with light.
Walls that once kept hearts apart begin to fall, replaced by warmth, trust, and the first glimmers of a future they can both believe in again.
The verses move like careful footsteps toward forgiveness, steady and human, guided by hope rather than fear or pride or the weight of the past.
When the chorus arrives, wings unfurl in sound, and the melody rises like a promise finally kept, carrying the listener above the noise.
Strings swell, drums pulse like a living heartbeat, and layered harmonies lift the emotion higher with every refrain and every open vowel.
The lyric remembers the fracture but chooses devotion, naming love as both shelter and spark, a home rebuilt on truth and tenderness.
Every line leans toward reunion, toward a hand held out of the shadows and into a vivid sky where faith and courage make room for joy.
It is intimate in quiet moments and thunderous when it declares that love does return, clearer, stronger, and more certain than before.
Above all, this song is about seeing the light in someone again and running toward it together, unafraid, alive, and ready to begin.

Lyrics
My Own Angel

Been sitting in the wings with walls up
Been waiting for you to wake again (what you once was)
Been biding my time, knew the time would come again
Been waiting with my walls up, deflecting what was not you (yeah I was)

For so long now, you have been on a different road
For so long now, couldn’t work out  (just drifted away)
For so long now, the walls were up but never fixed (always saw the light)
Not going to take long, I see the light, yeah I see the light (walls are coming down)

I can see your wings again, you will be my angel again
I can see your wings (yeah wings, your wings, I can see)
I can see your wings again, you will be my angel again
I can see your wings (yeah wings, your wings, I can see)

You touched my soul a long time ago, you never lost my love
Been sitting in the wings, waiting your return
I can see the light, I can see it coming again
I can see your wings again, your my own angel again (again ….again)

I can see your wings again, you will be my angel again
I can see your wings (yeah wings, your wings, I can see)
I can see your wings again, you will be my angel again
I can see your wings (yeah wings, your wings, I can see)

You’re in my arms again, not ever letting you go again
Not sure why you drifted away, so many things got in the way
But now you are back, you can bet I will be there at every turn
You’re in my arms again, not ever letting you go again (my own angel)

I can see your wings again, you will be my angel again
I can see your wings (yeah wings, your wings, I can see)
I can see your wings again, you will be my angel again
I can see your wings (yeah wings, your wings, I can see)
See
See
See …..yeeeeah

Lyrics
I Want to Lie in Your Arms

From day to day, I’m not sure
Confused, got, to see that rainbow
Need to know that there is a brighter light (yeah)
Gotta find my way through this doom and gloom (oooh …ooooh)

Feelin the stress, the load is getting heavier
Need to know, we are going to make it
Need to wrap myself around you (and hide)
I want to get lost in your love, so I can survive (revive my soul)

I want to lie in your arms, and forget the world
I want to lie in your arms, so you remember
I want to lie in your arms, see your beautiful smile
I want to lie in your arms, remind you we belong
I can feel it, feel it, let’s drift away, free my soul

Lying in your arms now, not, a care in the world
With you beside me, the world is left behind
As long as you are here when I come home
I can go through life, I will always survive (ooooh ….yeah)

I want to lie in your arms, and forget the world
I want to lie in your arms, so you remember
I want to lie in your arms, see your beautiful smile
I want to lie in your arms, remind you we belong
I can feel it, feel it, let’s drift away, free my soul

Knowing you are there when I come home (sweet home)
My mind is free, yeah free to believe
There is nothing we cannot be, my strength is you
With you in my heart, it will always be

As long as you are here when I come home
I can go through life, and I will always survive (ooooh ….yeah)

Not Going to Stand Aside is more than just a soulful ballad, it is a message and a warning to men everywhere who are approaching their 40s or already in them. Too many wait until life and nature have already changed their partner before they even try to understand what is happening. This song speaks directly to that moment, when love feels tested not by another person but by time, age, and the changes women go through that so many men are unprepared for. The lyrics are a vow not to let nature steal what has been built over years of partnership, not to stand aside while distance grows, but to fight with love, patience, and understanding. If you hear this song and you do not know what it is about, ask your lady. Learn early, because knowing what is coming gives you a chance to be ready, to keep your love alive, and to walk through it together instead of apart. This song is for every man who values his soulmate enough to refuse to let go, for every partner who believes that love can prevail against time itself. It is soulful, heartfelt, and defiant, carrying the strength of devotion and the power of awareness. Listen, learn, and never stand aside.

Lyrics
Not Going to Stand Aside

I’ve been here right in front of you
At some stage, don’t know why, you stopped caring
You didn’t want me, don’t know why
All I know is, I want you back, on this side (gonna drag you back)
Not letting you go to the other side

Been together too long, not standing aside
Been my soul mate for so long (not standing aside)
I know you’re not with someone else, more time of life
But you are not natures’, you are my partner
Not going to stand aside (oooh no, not going to happen)

I am going to show you, that love can prevail
Nature and time have nothing I can give you (ooooh)
(We will find a way), we will work through this time
(But one thing sure), you will be mine again
No, (not going to stand aside) (ooooh)

Been together too long, not standing aside
Been my soul mate for so long (not standing aside)
I know you’re not with someone else, more time of life
But you are not natures’, you are my partner
(Not going to stand aside)

Don’t want anyone else, just the real you
Not this shell that nature wants you to be (need you back)
We will find a way, to bring back the love (there is no doubt)
Won’t be chasing any young ladies (ain’t got what you got)
You got half of me and nature does not own that
(ooooh, not going to stand aside)

I am going to show you, that love can prevail
Nature and time have nothing I can give you (oooh)
(We will find a way), we will work through this time
(But one thing sure), you will be mine again
No, not going to stand aside (ooooh no, not going to happen) ooooh (not going to happen)

Going to make you feel young again (ooooh no not going to happen)
Get nature out of your head and live life again (ooooh no not going to happen) (not going to stand aside)

Lyrics
Could Be Loving You

Did you know (Did you know)
I’m bad (I’m bad)
Had you here, in my arms and treated you wrong
No wonder, no wonder at all you left me on my own (yeeeeaaaahhhh)

Now, I wonder around home
My chin dragging on the ground
A smile is nowhere to be found
All this time, I could be loving you (yeeeeaahh loving yoooooouuu)

I should have been better
Treated you like my Queen
Instead, I was blind and lost my find
Now you are gone, you are gone (yeeeeaaaahhhh gone)

Now, I wonder around home
My chin dragging on the ground
A smile is nowhere to be found
All this time, I could be loving you (yeeeeaahh loving yoooooouuu)

I know, yeah I know, I, I, I, did you wrong (so wrong)
Must of blown my mind, blown my mind
Now, here all alone, don’t think I can carry on (need you in my life)
Got to get down on my knees, and beg you pretty please (pleeeeeaaasssee)
It is all I can do, is fall down at your door and plead
Let me make you believe again, be my Queen again
Cause all I do now is cry, cause I know I did you wrong (so wrong yeeeeaaahhh)

Don’t want to wonder around home
My chin dragging on the ground
With a smile nowhere to be found
All this time, I could be loving you (yeeeeaahh loving yoooooouuu)

Want to be loving yoooouuu yeeeeaaaahhh yeeeeaahh

Cruft is what happens when two long-time music friends – Bengt Stenhammar and Per Åsberg – hit record, ignore genre boundaries, and drink a bit too much coffee (or whisky, depending on the time of day). Occasionally, Caroline Sparrhammar joins in to add a much-needed touch of vocal elegance.

Every track is usually written and recorded from scratch in a single intense session – usually under 16 hours. The result? Often a surprise to us too.

We don’t stick to one style because we don’t feel just one thing. Some feelings need distorted guitars. Others demand synths, brass sections or a whispered groove. Cruft is our way of staying honest – musically and emotionally.

AI sometimes helps us shape the sound, but the madness is entirely ours.

🎶 Expect the unexpected – and don’t try to box us in.
