Use Your Loaf

I WISH I WAS NICER
©️ Joanna Finnis

I’m not as nice as I seem
Sometimes I’m kind
Sometimes I’m mean
I wish you well, but behind the scenes
I’m running on jealousy

I stare at what I should have been
Regret the days I spent being lazy
Now all I do is plan and I scheme
How to break down your dreams

How I wish, I was nicer
But I’m like a fierce tiger
I wish I was nicer, oh yes indeed

I will pretend, I am a good friend
I’ll lift you up, now and again
But when I smile and say ‘a job well done’
I’m hoping you come undone

(Instrumental)

Fake, phony, cunning and sly
Come shake my hand
Ill look you in the eye
I’ll be discreet
I play it sweet
Oh honey, know it’s a lie

How I wish I was nicer
But I’m just a falsifier
I wish I was nicer yes I do

We’re just the same
You play this game
You’ve got the skill
In the for the kill
It’s clear to see
My dear frenemy
You’re no more nicer than me 😈

Mod Stress America

NOPE

Every time you use the word nope
I mope
And can’t cope
I feel like such a dope
Calling you a misanthrope
I've gone so far as to request a meeting with the Pope
He suggested bribing you with cantaloupe
Won’t you please, please throw me a rope?
And promise me that you’ll never ever ever
Use the word nope

Nope

Click clack sparkle twinkle crinkle
Yesterday out of the blue I thought about periwinkle

Next thing I knew I booked a seven-day cruise
For which I needed a pair of chartreuse shoes

Afterward, I headed for the beach
Fully clad in peach

Which could lead you to believe  I like to tango
In a scarf tinted like a Tommy Atkins mango

But what you might not know is that with no small amount of zeal
I squeal at the slightest sight of teal

In fact, I savor it more than a four-course meal
Capped by a comforting cup of chamomile

I know, you’re wondering, what is her deal?
I swear to you, my zeal for teal is real
And that, my friends, concludes my spiel

Smiley Culture – Tongue In Cheek (1986)

Diversity shines on the screen, 
a beacon so serene,
Women leading into space, 
in stories once unseen.

Black pharaohs, resplendent, 
reclaim their time and space,
Arab emperors in Rome, 
history's embrace.

(Chorus)
Rainbow bright, in every night, a spectrum full and wide,
In our tales, love prevails, with pride we stand side by side.
LGBTQ, in truth, our dignity we stride,
Facing down the far right, in unity we confide.

From pyramids to palaces, where ancient voices sing,
We draw from wells deep and diverse, to the table, our stories we bring.
No more silence, against defiance, our voices ring,
Overcoming prejudice, a new era we're ushering.

(Chorus)
Rainbow colors, bold and bright, across the sky they span,
Against the tide of narrow minds, together we take our stand.
LGBTQ, hand in hand, across every land,
In our unity, we defy, the far right's reprimand.

Equity's more important than historical truth, 
we assert with every proof,
In the narratives we craft, 
our values stand aloof.

With tales of Black pharaohs, 
in glory, they lead,
And Arab emperors in Rome, 
on wisdom they feed.

Ali's Motivational Outro

Playboi Carti - Music (2025)

„Lieblingslieder“ ist ein Indie-Song über das ewige Aufschieben, über große Träume und kleine Ausreden. Mit einem Augenzwinkern erzählt er von verpassten Chancen, heimlichen Schwärmereien und dem inneren Mantra „Raus aus der Komfortzone!“. Doch am Ende bleibt immer noch die Musik – als Zuflucht, als Trost und als Motor, um weiterzumachen. Ein Song zwischen Selbstironie und Sehnsucht, der das Lebensgefühl einer ganzen Generation einfängt.

“Lieblingslieder” is an indie song about procrastination, big dreams, and small excuses. With a wink, it tells the story of missed chances, secret crushes, and the inner mantra “Get out of your comfort zone!”. In the end, there is still music – as refuge, as comfort, and as the drive to keep going. A song balancing self-irony and longing, capturing the spirit of an entire generation.

Lieblingslieder

Warum bin ich so selten leise?
Und dreh im Garten meine Kreise
Denke nach über den Sinn
Warum ich bin so wie ich bin
Warum bin ich nicht längst weise?

Warum hab ich im Leben noch nix erreicht?
Warum mach ich‘s mir am liebsten leicht?
Und häng gechillt auf‘m Sofa rum
Bring Monster auf der Playsi um
Warum bin ich nicht längst reich?

Meine Träume?
Schon immer riesengroß
Und trotzdem
Lass ich all den Schrott nicht los
„Raus aus der Komfortzone“
Hör ich immer wieder
Doch ich träum weiter
Summ meine Lieblingslieder

Warum gehört Sophie nicht längst zu mir?
Warum sitz ich noch alleine hier?
Warum sag ich ihr nicht wie‘s um mich steht?
Wie sehr sie mir den Kopf verdreht

Warum sprech ich sie nicht einfach an?
Hast doch nix zu verlieren, Mann...

Ich träum schon immer riesengroß
Und trotzdem komm ich von hier nicht los
„Raus aus der Komfortzone“
Wieder und wieder
Ich träum weiter
Sing meine Lieblingslieder

Hat sie mich gerade angelacht?
Oder war das nicht für mich gedacht?
Komm schon, Alter - die Zeit läuft ab
Wenn ich sie mir heut Abend nicht schnapp
Schnappt sie sich bald ein anderer
Ganz sicher

Ach, ich weiß nicht...

Ich träum mal wieder riesengroß
So ist das
Immer wieder

Und am Ende bleiben mir
Nur meine Lieblingslieder

Welcome to my World . I am an acoustic guitarist ,bass player,vocalist and songwriter. All the Midi stuff is written on Sibelius Software and saved as Midi . I would like to team up with other musicians, if you fancy it , message me .Everyone is welcome . Just bring yourself , an open heart and mind .

I am a musician, sound designer and composer.

Contact me if you want me to compose or do sound design work for your film or video game.

This SoundCloud is my Project Freeman Music 'Works In Progress' Platform.
Here are all the Demos I've captured of my Compositions to date, including my 'Songs of Freedom', which are categorised as Relating, Realisation, Remedy & Rebellion (and Revelry!) on the 'Road to Redemption', from Serf to Self, from Slave to Sovereign. 
The demos are of various quality, from the early 90's Gregorian to the present day... 
PLUS here I share audio of 'Project Freeman' presentations and interviews (these are more like podcasts, but some also include songs) 

The songs start off as rough demos in various playlists here, and are then added to the 'Project Freeman Music Official Releases' playlist once they are finished, recorded and released to the major music platforms. (You can get your own copies of these via my Bandcamp link below, with all proceeds going to support my work and causes).
Therefore the quality of the demos here varies enormously, from old 1990s amateur recordings on cassette tape, to amateur home studio demos, to raw acoustic demos on the road in the camper van, to overdubbed tracks on the move, to more polished finished works etc etc

I have over 200 songs at various stages of production. My aim is to gradually publish my complete catalogue online, so the main thing here is to 'hear how the song goes' not to be fussy about the quality of recordings or performances.
Also, 'Tracks' have not been shared here in any particular order, so more recent Tracks could actually be much older, poorer quality demos and it's not possible to change the order of the Tracks once they have been uploaded, so please bare all this in mind when listening to 'Tracks'. It's probably best to choose a 'Playlist' and go from there :)

If you're looking for the best quality versions of the songs please go straight to the 'Project Freeman Music Official Releases' playlist

Lastly, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
Us amateur, unsigned artists don't have big budgets behind us to promote our works so I'm very grateful to you for stopping by my little corner of the internet and checking out what I'm up to ;)
The best gift you can give a song writer is to listen to their creations, so please know that I very much appreciate any plays and or re-posts & shares that you give my 'babies' ;)

Peace, love and freedom

We are a band of seasoned musicians, each with our own flare and unique set of tools. Together we bring a lot of rock n roll to the table. We all live and love the Dallas music scene. We write, record and perform our own music our own way. We are NOT a cover or tribute band. Jack Tasty considers itself a OUTLAW ROCK band. We love to play live. There's no better feeling than to give your all on stage in front of new people. Its so vulnerable, and risky to lay your soul out for everyone to see and hear, but it divides the lions from the sheep and the feeling is priceless. The band, has its first CD in the mastering faze with another CD already in the works. We are currently booking local shows, then plan a short state wide tour soon. If you haven't seen this band, you gotta check us out live! Look for us at your local live music venue. See Ya ! for booking call - 469-576-5008
