Sometimes (a lot) I'm not sure who I am and what I'm doing here and I think I want someone to tell me what I'm supposed to be doing (even when I don't).

confused blues

It is a mixture of drum and bass, electronica and chiptune.

AI Driven Dystopian Future (Demo 1)

Goat Cheese And Honey

verse 1
First I'm speeding forward, then I'm slipping back.
First I'm an underdog, then I attack.
It's not going anything like I thought it would,
But I look around and see it's all good.

Chorus
All's well that ends well
All's well that ends well  
Oh well, what the hell.

Verse 2
I'm rolling with the punches and popping back up.
Squeezing sour lemons, pouring lemonade in my cup.
Putting pressure on the rocks until diamonds form.
I string them up and wear them just to keep my neck warm.

Bridge:
When you've gone off course
When you've lost control
Ride it out and hang on tight
and trust you'll come out whole.

Verse 3
The first pancake it's going right in the trash,
But with a few more flips you've got a tall yummy stack.
To make a hearty omelet you gotta break some eggs.
I'm grinding coffee beans and growing roses in the dregs.


Alls Well That Ends Well (rehearsal demo)

I was so happy, I was excited, you were a raging bore
I was so stupid, I was benighted, you were a saddle sore
I said “Let’s be lovers”
You said “I want others”
Then you kicked me out the door

There with my heart full, you were so hurtful
Then you went back inside
Glad I could pull up, I dodged a bullet
I felt so purified

You are nothing special
You are background level
I am better off now
I will make it somehow
That’s it
I’m glad that we split 
That’s it
I’m sick of your shit
That’s it
You fuckin armpit
That’s it!

Nocturne

Verse 1:
Last week I was so glad
Nothing could make me sad
My man's coming home, I waited so long
But then I got some news so bad:
My baby done me wrong

Chorus:
The wind's kickin' up
A storm is on the way
Yeah, a wind's kickin' up
It's makin' fences sway
It's gonna take all this bad air
and it's gonna blow it all away.

Verse 2:
It was good times and calm skies
when I gazed into my lover's eyes
I thought in my soul we were mates for life
but now I've gotten wise
and I'll never be his wife
[repeat chorus]

Bridge:
it's a-whippin'
It's a-flappin'
It's a rattlin'
It's a slappin'
Feels like the damn roof will lift right off the top
I hope my life's still in one piece
when this wretched wind stops.

Verse 3:
Some day these heavy clouds will part
The storm will clear and sunshine will start
but for now the gusts are ragin'
This tornado 'll have to do
until I heal my broken heart and start
over with someone new
[repeat chorus]

Wind's Kickin' Up (Fawm Demo)

FAWM song #15. It's the last day of February, and I had already written 14 songs, but since this leap year gave us an extra day, I decided to write an extra song.

She's a Shadow

The Thaw
by Christine Winchester Perry 2024

A little green pushes its way out
with each bulbous sprout
and dirty crystal piles are all that's left in parking lots

Last week we wore our hats
It made our hair go flat
The air has lost its nip and now its not so raw. 

Oh the thaw, 
The thaw
 
Your frigid stare left me with a chill
and it's with me still
A mighty glacier sat between us hard and slick

Now I've cut the ice, I'm dropping my line
fishing for a sign
hoping vulnerability is not my fatal flaw.

Oh the Thaw
Oh the Thaw

The Thaw

First I lost my mind, but that was years ago
Loving family watching over me.
Then my body failed me, brought to light its frailty
and it all got hard and life slowed down
Gave me stuff to dull the pain just to heal and try to stay sane
Wasting all my days with just video games

Then I lost someone, who just couldn't cope
Then I lost another, then I lost all hope.
And then I was alone, safety nets were gone
I just didn't know if I would go on.
Broken 

Some friends knew I hurt, but they only made it worse.
As lost as me, they just couldn't see
Low as mud and high as a kite, I couldn't get it right
Dug myself deeper in a hole so tight.

With my broken back, and my broken mind, 
and my broken friends puttin' me farther behind, 
And my broken heart.

Now I've lost my home, almost everything I own.
I just mumble and cry, angry half the time.
Could I have found some strength I didn't know I had?
Is it all my fault, I let it get so bad?
Nothing I can do now, but gather what is left
and try to start anew now, and try not to regret.

With my broken brain and my broken spine
and my broken home and the memories that still are mine,
and my broken heart

With my broken back and my broken mind, and my broken friends,
am I gonna find that I'm running out? 
or am I running to? Can I live without?
oh, what can I do? What can I do?

Just an ordinary knucklehead strumming my six-string and singing songs. All songs are original raw recordings of my songwriting journey of healing and finding peace. Maybe one of these days, I'll actually learn how to record and mix better, but until then, I'm just having fun. Many of the thumbnails are my original art creations check out my insta for more art. I hope you like it!
