Really rough track to show songwriting and vocals. I recorded in my uni dorm room so that's why I hold back a bit with the vox

Lyrics:
(verse 1)
Your smile reminds me of the time we were friends,
Navy blue, ruby red.
My jumper sleeves consumed my hands,
Your eyes would flicker like the moon and all its friends.

I was a child, I didn't know where to begin,
You spoke to me, you drew me in.
"Nice to meet you! Where you going? Where you been?"
You were a song and I couldn't see the end.
(chorus)
Tonight I'm waiting for your mistakes to come flooding back in every way
But I know they won't because I'm on my own and you're in someone's arms again.
(verse 2)
I wanted everything to make me a man,
I said "I love you" like I knew what that meant.
Words were thrown around like "sickness" and "'til death",
I was acting, I was reading from a script.
We didn't grow old, but I know we grew somewhere,
In my heart and in your head.
I forget I remember what you said,
It's safely locked away deep inside my chest.
(chorus)

Navy Blue, Ruby Red

Fun recording of Billy Joel's awesome tune "The Downeaster 'Alexa'" just to see what my voice box is capable of lol Recorded on the couch in the bottom room 19/11/15

Downeaster Alexa A Capella

This song was always meant to be played with a band so I made the drum beat and bassline in FL Studio and added the guitar and vocals. Obviously if I had the time and money I would use a real drumkit and synth or bass, but I think this version captures the idea I had when I wrote it.
