I really like this! That lofi quality of the recording makes it great!

love these short sweet songs. (Y) just my cup of tea

cant get this out of my mind, its on repeat repeat repeat. cheers

Been really enjoying the last ten minutes listening to these bygone ditties, most under two minutes,  nicely formed,  English whimsy, pleasant and bleak simultaneously. The Lo-fi adds to the overall picture. IT makes them sound like the recordings have just eroded over time.

Your songs always make me feel happy. Thanks for that! : )

Don't you mistake cold
For fear of warmth
It's a contradiction and it's been 
Drummed into a truth
A window painted black,
A secret, my inside

Uneven floorboards hold me back
A ticket's worth of tears
When I would rather wait for a stranger
Than a mistake made just for me

And the warmth, it spills into my dreams
A tidal wave tried to break the wall
Of a paper world behind my skin
Tell me why the lines in my two hands
Hold different tales, and shroud me in
These metaphors behind my skin

Bend your neck towards a smile
Just make sure it's all a restriction
In the back of your mind
Close enough to worry that you've
Stained the precious sky

Oh strangers take me slowly
A lost mistake, you'll look and say
We made this just for you
It's freezing cold

And the warmth, it spills into my dreams
A tidal wave tried to break the wall
Of a paper world behind my skin
Tell me why the lines in my two hands
Hold different tales, and shroud me in
These metaphors behind my skin

My Two Hands (2021)

Squirrel Pants

I will pretend to have a soul
On the days that I am wholly hollow
We'll slay everything your afraid of

Rust

If I made you tell me how I used to be, would you lie?

When The Lights

Crushed and hysterical
Standing at a standstill

Standstill

There's no hurry
And I choke on the words

Choke

The bartenders are keeping tabs on me 
The memories are creeping up on me
My nemeses are not the ones I fear

Circles

I can't hear you whisper for the noises in my mind

Scatter

Oh what a day oh what a time
I hope to meet you at the end of the line
When you get there I think you might find
You'll like it at the end of the line

Let yourself go and you'll feel just fine
That's how you make it to the end of the line
When you get there your mind will unwind
Let yourself go to the end of the line

And while the world was turning 
We reached up and touched the moon
We left our finger marks
For everyone to see

Oh what a day oh what a time
I hope to meet you at the end of the line
When you get there I think you might find
You'll like it at the end of the line

I make Lofi recordings with an old dictaphone, a child’s guitar and a pink ukulele (or puke) sat by my kitchen door.
I can only do one rhythm and two barre chords, I couldn’t tell you their names but they’ve served me well. 
I hope you can hear through the murk and the mumbling and enjoy the songs.
