Lyrics
Did you know, there's a girl, and she lives over there
and she wears pretty clothes and puts flowers in her hair
and I used to hang my hat on a nail by the door
but that nail's driven home. I'm not welcome anymore.
     Everybody's made of stars, but my feet are made of clay
     A quarter million English words, and I don't know what to say
     I've been around the world, but it still takes me a while
     The shortest distance to yesterday is a hundred million miles
Did you know, time and space are just a dream
Maybe I can go back and repair the way it seems
Did you know, on the ground, lay the pieces of my heart
But then again, I'm the one who's been tearing it apart
     Everybody's made of stars..

A Hundred Million Miles (featuring Black Pace)

Lullaby

Out Of The Blue

This song came to me when sitting at the keyboard late one night around 2010. Most of the piano part was written that night, and the rest was written when I sat down to finally record this.

The guitar is actually a clean guitar tone on the Juno DS, ran through the Neural DSP Corey Wong amp sim VST.

This was written as a sort of bittersweet love song.

The deal is done

Trois Matelos, trois Bigoudens(instrumental)

I give you
Permission
Today to leave this place to find
Your own way
Then to fall back down the ladder 
Oh watch me wait for you
I'll spread both of my arms
Until you say

No I don't want to feel like that
No more
To have you leave me waiting here for more
Than I would even care to wait at all
My life is yours forever please don't
Fall

My young one
Please tell me what you think
Of these birthmarks and these scars
Burning holes in my skin
Is this enough?
Is this enough...
Is this enough to make you care
The way that I do for you

And tell me how you hate the world today
Because I'll never listen to a word you'll say
But I'll be there to hold you when you cry
My life is yours forever please don't
Die

Enchantress Cadaverous - Trafalgar

Dedicated to @jupow103 for his very cool folk songs and his constant support.
Wrote this around the ‘leaf laden hill’/‘darkened days’ time. So, it’s not complex but I did add some slash chords to it. Tried different modes for the strings and different cadences but the basics worked well. The melody for ‘overboard’ ascends for female vocals and descends for male vocals. The strings have the 3rd degree superimposed for the last chorus which I thought gave it a stately feel. Other than that, the strings rise when I sing' rise' and fall when I sing 'fall'. 

Lyrics: It’s mostly about a couple salvaging their relationship. There is absolutely no need to churn out all these lines when you’re doing it in real life. It is called 'Southern Catharsis' cos' it is cathartic to sing and 'Southern' cos' I like the southern drawl. 

                        1,2,3,4
                And I. Want more from this life
Than the tears you’ve shed and the blood you’ve bled on the mattress.(Could be interpreted as a woman losing her virginity but it’s not. It just rhymed.)
And you. Don’t mind what I like. (About a girl that likes what he likes)
 it’s lonely out here in the corners of your mind (needed to rhythm)
I took a ride
Down that old slide
A
You won’t give in (salvaging the relationship)
To dull what’s within

Chorus 1
Too long. With eyes wide open. Oh I breathe. Some foreign air
It makes the ground shake.(Hemingway reference) Causes hearts to palpitate. It rises up stronger than the storm. (Gladiator reference)
And if I told you I was overboard. I want you (Beatles reference). And no one else.


Trust. Falling like waves. Gathering dust.in hardened state.
Love. It’s never too much. Never too strong. Written on your face. 
16 candles in the wind (John Hughes reference. Fave film of his is Breakfast Club)
Locked in. Pouring from my skin. (It just rhymed)
And I know
You won’t give in
