rough demo of a love song. recorded on the broken 4 track

demo 15

Just another rough track I've had sitting around for a while that I probably won't ever do anything with, so here it is for anyone that might be interested.  I often record tracks like this when trying to come up with ideas for a new song, or just to keep myself active and practice mixing/mastering.  Sometimes I'll write a short simple little song just to test out some new gear/plugins/mixing techniques.  Anyways, thanks again for listening.

it's time to walk away
you know I hate to see it, but
I've got no room to stay

oh, I needed you
I'll find another way, yeah

you know I'll be okay
(mmm)
I've got a map in my heart
I can't be led astray, yeah

oh, I needed you
oh, I needed you
oh, I needed you
oh, I needed you
oh, I needed you

I'll find another way
yeah

falling of the leaves (demo)

Barely any time with an instrument on Day 29, so straight to the phone (with some edits later). Had I been able to run with it, I'm sure I'd have got a quick song draft out of it. Still, maybe something here to work with in the future.

This is my second try working with a microphone and recording in a DAW, first time recording piano.
Started writing this song a while ago but am trying to finish this one up as part of FAWM. There's a few elements that I am not happy with yet but also several that I love. Trying to figure out how to fix the stuff I don't like

Hollow Dance

Verse 1:
I fell for those eyes, deep and blue, Thought I found love, something true. We laughed and danced till the world spun round, It was just me standing, heart on th’ ground.
Pre-Chorus:
Your touch was warm, your smile a flame, But love was a game you never named. I was singing my heart out, a one-girl show, While you kept quiet, just watching the glow.
Chorus:
Ohh-ohh, it was a hollow dance, Ohh-ohh, just an empty chance. Ohh-ohh, I spun, I swayed, But you just stayed, you just stayed. Ohh-ohh, it was a hollow dance. hollow dance. 
Verse 2:
The rides at midnight ended too soon, Your promised whispers (under a) silver moon. I poured my love like rain in the drought, But your silence was louder, no doubt.
Pre-Chorus:
You held my hand but didn’t hold on, A lighthouse beaming, but never drawn. I reached out, felt the rush, felt the rain, But touching you always came with pain.
Chorus:
Ohh-ohh, it was a hollow dance, Ohh-ohh, just an empty chance. Ohh-ohh, I spun, I swayed, But you just stayed, you just stayed. Ohh-ohh, it was a hollow dance. hollow dance. 
Bridge:
A fire that only warmed my side, A book half-written, pages denied. I wished on stars that fell too fast, Dreams built on moments that couldn’t last.
Chorus:
Ohh-ohh, it was a hollow dance, Ohh-ohh, just an empty chance. Ohh-ohh, I spun, I swayed, But you just stayed, you just stayed. Ohh-ohh, it was a hollow dance. hollow dance. 
Outro:
Yeah, I spun, I swayed, But you just stayed. In a hollow dance, I stayed.

Hollow Dance (Worktape)

Wrote this during a session in song camp together with Paul. Still trying to figure out how to record myself so it sounds decent. This is Pauls instrumental arrangement at this stage.

Cold Glass

[Verse] There’s someone in the mirror
Wearing my hat
Damn it looks much better on her
She’s got everything I never had
Can’t stop staring at her
With those shining eyes
No, I can’t smile back at her
Cause every smile is a lie

[Chorus]
Oh when I stop looking at you
There’s no one in the room
No one in the room
Oh when I stop looking at you
Theres no one in the room
No one in the room

[Verse]
When I lose who I am
Not sure what I am good at
You gain confidence
When you’re smiling again
Just an echo from the past
I try to reach out my hand
There’s just cold ….

[Chorus]
Oh when I stop looking at you
There’s no one in the room
No one in the room
Oh when I stop looking at you
Theres no one in the room
No one in the room

[Bridge}
Her voice is quiet
That’s my own
The fragile truth
I’ve always known
You reach a hand
And I believe
And then again
I’m touching cold … 

[Chorus]
Oh when I stop looking at you
There’s no one in the room
No one in the room
Oh when I stop looking at you
Theres no one in the room
No one in the room

Just a little short version of Lost Kitten I recorded for an animatic.  
Not perfect, but I kinda liked the vibe so here it is 💔🐾  

Thanks for listening ♡

Lost Kitten (Metric cover – short version)

I was looking through an old external hard drive and found this track I recorded back in 2016. Figured I might as well share it now, because I remember liking it a lot at the time, but then I just sort of forgot about it. Trying to remix an old song like this was a real challenge. It's not perfect, but I did the best I can right now. Thanks for listening.

Tracks uploaded here are mostly unfinished since I can't do vocals/lyrics.  So if there are any vocalists/songwriters out there that want to work on anything let me know.  I would also be interested in joining/forming a band, if anyone needs a guitarist that does whatever it is that I do.

everything is a work in progress

Music has always been an important element to my life and helps keep me balanced. Every since I was young I’ve been extremely creative whether it’s writing, art or music and it’s cool to have this platform to share some of my ideas

Originally from various sides of various mountain ranges near and far from the sea, Pally's got the waves and the crags and the peaks and the plains, the evergreens and the waves of grain, the salty breeze and the fireflies deep in those bonny veins. A forever tanline from the Bible belt and bad winter skin ensure that every song's a lie, and every lie's the damndest truth, and any truth a pretentiousest overstatement.

It’s Maudredi.
Yes, I produce all my music
Yes, I play guitar and bass
Yes, I like sonic
