Phone recording added to by The Happy Somethings 

I uploaded Bitter before but in my opinion this Bitter is better.
I wrote and played it on the 1st January 2023.

I have loved The Happy Somethings since I first heard them when in Azerbaijan about 6 years ago.  We share the philosophy that if we try harder it sounds worse!  I am pleased and honoured that they spontaneously decided to colloborate and be my "ramshackle"  backing band on this song!  a bit like with Buddy Holly's apartment tapes, only I think Buddy's were better before...and Buddy was never bitter.

...and in the words of The Happy Somethings:

"We have been fans of Cobbled Moth's musical output for some considerable time and when we came across this new song called 'Bitter' we just immediately loved it. One evening, bored with ourselves, and without him knowing, we decided to become his backing band... fortunately he embraced our audacity!"

Lyrics:
I remember you sweeter
Now you're lost in the ether 
You were a spirit transmitter
But now you are bitter
And it's a shame
If you think no one cares
You went through pain
I know I was there
But you always had a wise word
And a kind word too
What happened to you?
I remember you taller
And now you are smaller
Over the land you would skitter
But now you're just bitter
Ooo oo now you are bitter
Ooo oo now we are bitter
And it's a shame
If we think no one cares
We went through pain
Yet always stayed fair
And we always had a wise word
And a kind word too
The disillusionment grew and grew and grew
I remember you fatter
And it didn't matter
Long before your x twitter 
When you were not bitter
I remember you jolly
In the rain with no brolly
I remember you shiny
Your wit was perfectly briny
I remember you noble
Before the dragon went global
You were never a quitter
Hope you stop being bitter

Barry Slorridge is a British composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. Mr. Slorridge composes music in various genres such as electronic, experimental, alt-poop, blues, avant-garde, and ambient.

I am a self-taught guitarist, delivering a traditional song writing style with rock, acoustic, folk, country and blues influences.

Thanks to everyone that has taken the time to listen to or comment on any of my music. 
Really very much appreciated, and if you liked or reposted any of it then I simply love you 😊 

Whilst it is mostly a load of cheesy old nonsense, I have had a lot of enjoyment making all of these songs when I have time.
My vocals can be an acquired taste… (this is not my day job, just a hobby! 😂) but I hope that you can at least enjoy the musical melodical side of things.

All songs so far have been performed and recorded using a Taylor 214CE DLX on a Boss BR80 digital recorder. 

In 2024 I released “Whipped, Stripped & Almost Unplugged” which is an acoustic album of original songs. 
Further original releases have arrived and will continue to come which will be part of the next album called "The Road to Retrospection" in the near future.

I also have the pleasure of some occasional assistance from long-time friend and collaborator ©️CrackerJack on various tracks (check out his own stuff he’s pretty good!) and hope you can find a song you like out of everything that is here.

Much Love

Much of my music is FREE TO DOWNLOAD.
Love this space, wherever it is, and the amazing sounds of humanity. Happy to mix my music with yours, if you have an idea or no idea : ) -- if you would like to remix, remake, redeem any part of anything here, let me know.   ~

Hello dear Soundcloud listeners,

I'm still determined to continue producing music, the music of Pier Will, which can only be heard on Soundcloud and which can also be recorded... for now.

The world of music is rapidly moving towards a huge upheaval where the true musician will very quickly become "rare," or even more and more of a shadow, a peculiarity, a memory. This time is not so far away, as AI takes a predominant place in everything that touches us and surrounds us and in Music, this can already be heard very clearly!

Apparently, everyone is taking this lightly, and the few diehards are being sneered at as anti-progress terrorists, for now. I already have two work computers disconnected from the internet, which house my software and everything I need to work. No more updates for them to work properly... updates are only necessary if you need to connect! Another computer is dedicated solely to internet connection and will be used exclusively for streaming the tracks.

This decision has serious consequences for my production, as there are no more options to add anything to it. It's a gamble, but for me, it's an obligation to remain completely independent and free from AI.

Pier WILL - ❤️🕊️🙏

________________________________________________________________________

Bonjour chers auditeurs Soundcloud,
Je suis toujours déterminé à continuer à produire de la musique, celle de Pier Will, que l'on ne peut écouter que sur Soundcloud et qui peut aussi être enregistrée… pour l'instant.

Le monde de la musique s'achemine rapidement vers un bouleversement majeur où le véritable musicien deviendra très vite « rare », voire de plus en plus une ombre, une singularité, un souvenir. Ce temps n'est pas si lointain, car l'IA prend une place prépondérante dans tout ce qui nous touche et nous entoure, et en musique, cela se voit déjà très clairement !

Apparemment, tout le monde prend cela à la légère, et les quelques irréductibles sont méprisés comme des terroristes anti-progrès, pour l'instant. J'ai déjà deux ordinateurs de travail déconnectés d'Internet, qui hébergent mes logiciels et tout ce dont j'ai besoin pour travailler. Plus besoin de mises à jour pour qu'ils fonctionnent correctement… les mises à jour ne sont nécessaires que si vous avez besoin de vous connecter ! Un autre ordinateur est dédié uniquement à la connexion Internet et sera utilisé exclusivement pour le streaming des morceaux.

Cette décision a de graves conséquences sur ma production, car il n'y a plus aucune possibilité d'y ajouter quoi que ce soit. C'est un pari risqué, mais pour moi, c'est une obligation de rester totalement indépendant et libre de toute IA.

Pier WILL - ❤️🕊️

The AI-generated answer is evolving:

"Cobbled Moth Regenerated is a musical project associated with the artist known as The Cobbled Moth, who creates lo-fi demos using a Tascam pocket studio, acoustic guitar, and other instruments.
 The project features songs such as "In the Valley of Tears" and "Not the Way," which are available for free streaming and download on SoundCloud.
 "In the Valley of Tears" includes lyrics reflecting themes of searching for home and finding strength in weakness, drawing a metaphorical connection to the biblical concept of the Vale of Tears.
 "Not the Way" was written and recorded during a heatwave while the artist was watching Wimbledon, and features a personal moment captured in the background with the artist's son saying, "but it's too sunny mamma".
 The artist describes themselves as an outsider songwriter, and their work has been praised for its emotive chord changes and lyrical depth".

PS
All of my SC uploads come with a zero AI guarantee. If they're bad it's entirely my fault.
