This sounds great.  Love that chiming guitar sound behind your excellent vocals.  Niiiice.

Enjoyed the vocals and that sweet acoustic sound is great.

Cloud - Occlusion 39

The Lamb

You're always breaking up
You're time is taken up
By drugs and swearing
The amphetamines you're taking get you high

Your doctor's checking up
That you've been taking up
The drug that's shaken up 
your mind.
If you were fine
I wouldn't hear
Only static on the line

All your artsy friends
They lie to you no end
They say it's fine
If you decide to burn your candle
From both sides

I could call you up
But you would just hang up
Don't have the time
for sobriety 
or honesty,
Forget some piece of mind

Say, 'Doctor, you're love
Is My suicide'

She said 'my brain is bogus
I need this shit to focus
It's not drugs, it's medication.'
The doctor's brand of meditation

'I can't eat or sleep tonight,
I feel like workin, no I'm alright'
Should have see the warning signs
Before her static screen flat-lined

I'm sick of 
All these funerals
When bright minds aren't treated right
Their pockets rattle through the night.

Can't you see it's worth the fight
To take back you're only life
No prescription drug can save you now
Fuck your doctor and sort it out

Say 'Doctor, your love 
Is my suicide'

I can't hear your voice anymore
You left and slammed the door
Because you're a bloody bore

Say doctor your love is my suicide

Roll Me Over

Looked through the glass
Struggled to see
Blinded by the forest
Couldn't see through all the trees
The mistake was believing
I held the key
Should have seen the neon sign
Warning me
 
Long gone for a season
Lost my head and I left my heart behind
Lost track of the reason
Why I said goodbye
 
Looking for some solace
In the trappings of love
Couldn't see I'd been blinded
Didn't see what I'd become
I finally realized
You hold the key
My heart is your locket
You are my destiny
 
You are my destiny
My shining star
My galaxy
You are my destiny
You steal the breath from my soul
Every time you breathe
 
Lost at the crossroad
Caught in a trap
Afraid to move forward
Too brave to go back
You are the whirlwind
Inside of me
My heart is your captive
You are my destiny
 
You are my destiny
My shining star
My galaxy
You are my destiny
You steal the breath from my soul
Every time you breathe
 
You are my destiny
My shining star
My galaxy
You are my destiny
You steal the breath from my soul
Every time you breathe

You are my Destiny

"Crime & Punishment" is one of these light hearted stories of love and violent death. Based around the twelve string guitars and the piano it started out as a spontaneous irony, and ended up in an rapidly growing arrangement with some 14 vocal channels. This of course led to a mixing bonanza and mental meltdown. It´s all in the ambition to write and produce tracks with higher degree of visual elements and cinematic storylines, a kind of style that I do favour at the moment. I hope that you like this first track of MOMA 2017, and every comment, tips and tricks is highly appreciated.

Crime & Punishment

You’ve got your diamond rings,
your mansions and your fame.
You’ve nailed your trophies to the wall.
But get too caught up in your success
your gonna wake one day with nothing left
and that’s a long and a hard way to fall.

You like the party life,
the late nights on the strip—
wild sex and drugs and alcohol.
But if you’re gonna speed through life that high,
you better grow some wings and learn to fly
because that’s a long and a hard way to fall.

You want your satisfaction, 
swear that you’ll never stop.
You think your money grows on trees.
You may have quite the view now 
high from your mountaintop.
But when the bottom drops 
you’ll see it from your knees.

Well the ladies they all love your style,
the crazy things you do,
but you think they’re at your beck and call.
Keep treating them like you go and do,
they’re gonna knock you down a peg or two,
and that’s a long and a hard way to fall.

You want your satisfaction, 
swear that you’ll never stop.
You think your money grows on trees.
You may have quite the view now 
high from your mountaintop.
But when the bottom drops 
you’ll see it from your knees.

Well, the Devil has you in his grasp,
and he knows a thing or two 
about making the proudest of us crawl.
So you better give the Lord his due
or he’ll kick you out of heaven too,
and that’s a long and a hard way to fall.

Yeah, that’s a long and a hard way to fall.
Yeah, that’s a long and a hard way to fall.

Long and Hard Way to Fall (G/V)

Love, crowded out by hate
Bliss, confounded by the pain
Pride, a casualty of shame
Fight to keep the fear at bay

There's a monster
A monster's in control
Monster
A monster's in control

Black, painted over white
Gray, can't get the shade just right
Dark makes a shadow out of light
Death survives because of life

I feel your fear

There's a monster
A monster's in control
Monster
A monster's in control

You are living in a dream
When the monster comes for you
Resist the urge to run away
Be the one who makes the rules

Use your fear to fight it
Find the courage and let it show
Remember it needs you to survive
It can't prevail if it's alone

Suite: Monster

Look at me
Can't you see
I'm always in a hurry
I don't know 
  where I find
    time to be 
       O C D

Always harder than it has to be 
All tangled up in wasted time
Rushing forward, never check my speed
I saw the stop sign
   as I flew on by

Look at me
Can't you see
Forgot my medication
I don't know  
  where I find
     time to be 
        O C D

Mad encounters of the third degree
I fear I might just lose my mind
My obsession put a tax on me
Threw out a dollar
   so I could keep the dime

Look at me
Can't you see
Plagued by indecision
I don't know
  where I find
    time to be 
       O C D

Flames of battle are never far away
Like some savage bird of prey
Thoughts about my folks
Vanish in the smoke
The sound of taps echos in my brain
I'll keep on fighting anyway

The never ending war may rage
I don't really have a say
Don't want two coins to grace my eyes
I'll stand my ground, push back the tide

I'm coming home

Silent memories fill the void
In the endless noise of war
I try to see your face
But the picture fades to grey
Hang on tight, ignore the pain 
I have to make it one more day

Blood-stained hands fan the flames
While my feet turn to clay
Can't spare the time to find the line
It's time to leave this all behind

I'm coming home
I'm coming home

The never ending war may rage
I don't really have a say
Don't want two coins to grace my eyes
I'll stand my ground, push back the tide

Blood-stained hands fan the flames
While my feet turn to clay
Can't spare the time to find the line
It's time to leave this all behind

I'm coming home

I'm Coming Home

The Boss and E street came down from on high and gave us this.

As a budding guitar player in the late '60's, I spent many hours in my room learning CCR's tunes.

                              

Kissing Suzie Q

It's never too late to say you're sorry
Turn your back on your mistakes
God rewards faith with forgiveness
The Power of Christ prepares the way

Put your faith in Jesus
And don't look back                 x4

This world tempts us with illusion
Blinds our heart to the Savior's plan
Salvation lives in the Word of God
Given to us by the Son of Man 

Put your faith in Jesus
And don't look back                 x4
 
Christ is the Resurrection
He is eternal life
Whosoever believes in Him
They shall live and never die

Put your faith in Jesus
And don't look back                 x4

Can't play a note, and sing like a drain unblocking - Hence any music I may eventually have the nerve to upload is all created using midi/vst instruments playing compositions created in the piano roll editor.   The Magix forum dedicated to music production is the only place to suffer my creations so far.  Didn't realise it could be so much fun though.  Woohoo.
