Excellent indie 80's Smith's esq Pop, love the vibrato you've got at the end our your vox, cool vocal melody phrasing.  Top jangly johnny Marr Guitar. Top Pop fella's.

Here at last is my second collaboration with the mighty itneverhappened. INH did all the guitars, bass and drums as well as production and I drank a lot of tea and fretted in a corner before finally coming up with words and vocals. I really hope you enjoy the song...

Unhappy ending

(Manly crooning)

It could have been beautiful
But that's not the way the story ended 
So let's not pretend
Anymore
Fair-weather friends sympathise
But I prefer to defy them 
And kick off a fight

Such a sad, reflective phase
Time passed by
And Cupid needs a gun these days

It should have been you and me
But - change of plan - 
Now it's me and the silence
And time on my hands
Too much time
I cannot stand
Their sympathy
In the end I'm alone like a victim
Of Love's weary glance

She sucked me in 
Just to spit me out
What's the point?
I just want to kick and shout

It should have been beautiful
But that's not the way the story ended 
So let's not pretend
Anymore
I cannot stand
Their sympathy
Patch me up, send me out like a victim
To wander this land

(Manly crooning)

With a bloody nose
And all the money gone
Prepare to dance
To Disappointment's brand new song

Unhappy ending (itneverhappened-clocktoys collab)

I'm a singer songwriter and for the last few years I've been making my music with nothing more than an old iPhone and an iPad mini. I have tried to overcome the obvious limitations of having no actual instruments by exploring the world of music making apps. Hopefully along the way I have created some ear-catching, toe-tapping music with complex and unusual arrangements, bleakly evocative lyrics and a big indie atmosphere.  As a result, I think this collection of songs is unlike anything else you will hear on SoundCloud. Lend me your ears and find out for yourself! 

Drop me a comment (good or bad) - I will usually reply.
 
BIG Love to all those who actually listen.

Don't be a stranger...

With love, hope and despair,

About the clocktoys: me plus occasional others (but usually just me). I have written songs from a tender age and never let the hysterical laughter grind me down (well, not often). I taught myself to play keyboards with the mighty Casio VL 1 perched on top of my little sister's toy organ (the old asthmatic wheezing kind made from elastic bands, glue and the cheapest plastics known to man).
I enjoy the creative freedom of writing alone and my music is, frankly, a muddle of influences veering off in different directions. Which is a good thing in my book.
As well as my music I may also eventually get round to reading some short stories (do i hear a a low murmur of pleasure at the back?). Basically, I'll be boring the arse off you in as many different ways as I can think of.
I like: music from many different styles past and present but in my writing I often look back to classic indie music like: the smiths; aztec camera; cocteau twins; the associates; badly drawn boy; new order; teardrop explodes; japan; early omd; echo and the bunnymen
I wish: i could play the guitar like Johnny Marr; sing better

If you've read all the way down to here, can I please say a little thank you, embrace you in a manly way, and ask that you keep listening. One day I'll get it right!
