Demo

Bamboo

We'll walk around pretending
We're all grown up -- hey rich girl
Well can you tell me why you're so stuck up?
When you act like you're so down 
Does paranoia come around 
And seize your mind? 
Now roll your eyes 

there's an investigation to be done 
Like who's been wearing what with who?
So what's been going on? 
You've got to know
You've got to know

I'll tell you everything I know 
Any little thing I know 
I'll tell you everything I know 
Any little things I know 
You've got a lovely way with words 
Must be the way you see the world 
Its just the way you see the world

we walk around pretending 
We're all grown up -- hey rich girl 
Well can you tell me why you're so stuck up? 
When you act like you're so down 
Does paranoia come around? 
Read your mind and take your eyes 
Investigation to be done 
Like who's been wearing what with who? 
Hey what's been going on around here?
You gotta tell me you
You got the know -- I'd like to know

I'll tell you everything I know 
Any little thing I know 
I'll tell you everything I know 
Any little things I know 
You've got a lovely way with words 
Must be the way you see the world 
Its just the way you see the world

oh what a lovely way with words 
Is that the way you see the world? 
Its just the way you see the world

I went down to your house last weekend 
You said, "come on man, you don't have to point out 
Everything that's bad. 
So there's a broken mirror on my bed 
I'll clean it up,so what? 
You don't have to be such an asshole all the time."
Aww don't be like that.

DANNY'S FOUR20

The Moon Song (Cover)

As a singer and novelist, I never really paid full attention to having a ‘proper’ career. I’ve always done any McJob going to make the rent, but the eighteen months I spent working in the second largest A&E in the UK has to be the most rewarding, terrifying, exhausting and bonkers work I’ve ever done. Particularly on the nightshift.
 
On The Nightshift

Written, performed and recorded by Steph Sweet in England 2015

There’s a crazy, hazy rain streaking orange on the glass,
Past the roadworks and the accident, the closed lane on the by-pass.
I didn’t sleep a wink today, I’m going to be late.
Number nineteen had the strimmer out, then tried to fix his gate.
I’m on the nightshift, ooh, I’m on the nightshift.

I corner to the barrier, but I’ve lost my I.D card,
I find it in the footwell. The security guard
Waves me in past maternity, all screams and pink balloons.
Twelve ambulance, three riot-vans, four cop-cars in the gloom.
I’m on the nightshift, ooh, I’m on the nightshift.

I’ve got care in the community in seven to fourteen
And a homicidal maniac has took a shine to me.
Two suicides and a self-harm have just been stretchered in,
While a homeless girl is crying and eating from the bin.
I’m on the nightshift, ooh, I’m on the nightshift.

Poor old soul with dementia is wandering in his pants.
Last orders in the city has brought some drunken lads.
I got crack-heads, whores and junkies all screeching in the queue,
A crash for cash, some swallowed hash , a time-waster or two.
I’m on the night-shift, ooh, I’m on the nightshift.

Please, please don’t spit at me in Accident and Emergency.
Please, please why can’t you see? 
I’m just a lowly admin clerk on the nightshift A&E.
Please, please don’t spit at me in Accident and Emergency.
Please, please why can’t you see?
I’m just a lowly admin clerk on the nightshift A&E.
I’m on the nightshift, ooh, I’m on the nightshift.

On the Nightshift

Bauhaus Party

Wet Kiss is a track from The Construction of Truth album. Thanks to headcharge777 for letting me deconstruct his solo guitar. https://soundcloud.com/headcharge777

This is the first track I've uploaded from this album, mainly because all the songs are really long and quite depressing. I hadn't even listened to it since it was recorded. As usual I try to challenge myself each album so I don't get stuck in a rut. For this one, all the tracks were written by starting with the title and then finding lyrics to make it fit. 
http://lolademo.bandcamp.com/track/wet-kiss

You want to be up and not be down 
You want to be high with your feet on the ground 
You don’t want to run but still be free 
I don’t want to know how much you hate me 

When every step you take is wrong 
Construct the truth and I’ll be gone 
Recover something that is lost 
You learned the truth at a cost 

Chorus: 
So you leave a wet kiss on my lips 
To say this is what you love 
Wet kiss 
On my lips 
A wet kiss 
To say this is what you love 
This wet kiss 

I had a belief but it was not true 
I knew who you were but it was not you 
You say that you feel that love is real now 
But I just feel empty anyhow 

You took my heart and cut it out 
Fill all my minutes up with doubt 
I thought you loved me more than this 
I could not see through the wet kiss 

Chorus 


Wet Kiss

Written, performed and produced by Plex Auchta 2015

I've been tied up learning how to be a dad for the last few months.   This is the result of too many ideas over too long a period so the kitchen sink was thrown at this track. 

I hear John Barry and Serge Gainsbourg in the approach.   The Easter themed titling was accidental!

How wonderfully malleable is music? I grew up and live in a country drowning in music of so many sounds. 

I dabble with all sorts of styles and genres but I like to think that it all still sounds like me. 

There's no grand mission for me on Soundcloud beyond finding music that I love and dialoging with other musicians. 

I'm always open to suggestions for collaboration and other adventures.

I don't repost here - not because I'm a miserable person but just because I use this page to sell my wares so to speak. That said I do listen to music on here religiously and I'm very proactive in sharing it around and building links with people that might like the sounds I find appealing. 

I'm working on ways of getting more people from outside Soundcloud plugged in to the wonderful art on display here. I do my bit!

I don't leave comments as link bait or for "karma". I'm very plain spoken so if I comment it's because I have something to say. I use my real name for that reason - my name and my word go together so if you get a compliment or critique its intended as though I gave it face to face.

If you like the music you can help me make more by buying some. Just visit here to help support me making this nonsense! - http://brunkard.com/where-to-buy-a-never-ending-album/

If you would like to use the music or commission me to write something new just get in touch with me through here or on my website. I offer free licenses for non-profit ventures with some small conditions and I also excellent rates for profitable ventures! 

Instruments:

Guitars, guitarviol and guitar like things. I use virtual instruments sparingly and keep the focus on real sounds so to speak.
