A track in 7/4. Someone told me I wasn't an edm producer. They weren't wrong, I'm just spiteful

Week 33 | Ghosts

I’ve been spending most my days
Staring at an empty page
Trying to see through the haze

To a place I’ve been before 
Through a hidden door
Where my muse is locked away

And she won’t let me in
She won’t answer my call
All is lost  

But I’ve been there before
Same place just a different door

And I wonder
could it be that it’s me
and the door is open
as it’s always been

Oh I wonder
Could it be that easy
And I don’t need her
I never did

It shouldn’t matter but it does to me
Not good enough for the world to see
No one cares but I’ve been lost for weeks

Run in circles getting close to rage
I’ve given up torn out the page
Another one that got away from me

And she won’t let me in
She won’t answer my call
All is lost  

But I’ve been there before
Same place just a different door

And I wonder
could it be that it’s me
and the door is open
as it’s always been

Oh I wonder
Could it be that easy
And I don’t need her
I never did

Here is a short silly song to lube up those robot arms.

Robot Disco

The first multi track recording I've made in over 10 years.

I wrote this song this morning about a dream I have on occasion, and not wanting to wake up from it.

Featuring a bit of clawhammer banjo!

Just a Dream (demo)

i hit the snooze
one time too many
i wanted some coffee
but there wasn’t any
my car wouldn’t start
i was late to work
my boss dressed me down
and called me a jerk

chorus
i’ll tackle tomorrow
after i’ve had some rest
i’ll tackle tomorrow
and be at my best
today there was trouble
today there was sorrow
i’ll cast them aside
when i tackle tomorrow

insomnia last night
has made me feel groggy
the sandwich i’d packed
by lunch became soggy
no reason to quit
i know that i’m stuck
why find another job
cuz all of them suck

i skipped happy hour
for i’d had my fill
no power at home
i hadn’t paid the bill
i couldn’t use my phone
the battery had died
the day kept getting darker
and so did my mind

Tackle Tomorrow

In 2019 I'm doing the reddit song-a-week challenge. I'm uploading one new song (and sometimes more!) every week for 52 weeks, usually following a certain theme.

Week 37 - Trans

I am the blue gate
I am the black door

I am the blue gate
I am the black door
I am the blue gate
Open the black door
I am the black door
Open the black door
I am the night sky
I am the blue gate

Open the black door
Black door x3

There's a black door inside me
Open the black door
Open the black door
Open the black door
Open the black door

Black Door

Lullaby

Hello. The guitar is fast, but the vocal is slow. I live in Minnesota. 
(This week's theme is MINOR: a song in a minor key)
Here is a YouTube video of the recorded performance: https://youtu.be/JhMXjEx7qsA
LYRICS:
I don't know where to begin
The urge crawls under my skin
This compulsion never ends
I must complete you my friend

You have to put up a fight
When is the time ever right
This compulsion never ends
I must complete you my friend
But I love you more than this
But I love you more than this

All the things you hold so dear
Hold them close lest the disappear
This compulsion never ends
I must complete you my friend
But I love you more than this
But I love you more than this
But I love you more than this
But I love you more than this

I Love You More Than This

Got this done in one day, which I'm delighted with. I'd love to add a bit more – a lead in the chorus, drum fills, melodic fills, a bridge – and I might, but I'm glad I got so much done in a short space of time.

I especially like the change in rhythm in the second half of the chorus.
