A demo with two guitars and one vocal. 

Throw the bones upon the plate
Mixed with liquor, friendship makes
Pull up chairs and tear a strip
Mutineers can’t steer the ship
Call my name and I’ll ignore
Light the candle, close the door
Show me comfort one more time (or)
Say that the problem is me
And cast me adrift in the sea

We dance so slow
To the rhythm we know
   
Compromise and sign the pact
Say we got the old spark back
State your claim and explain why
Cross your heart and hope to die
I’ll be loyal, I’ll be true
Through hope and hell I’m bound to you
Draw the sails, wait for the tide
The beat of my heart needs to stay
But the sense in my head wants away

Slow

Questionable midi sounds programmed by someone who's never played the drums. Two guitars, two vocals. Some timing and falsetto issues. It's a demo.

Let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories
Of the death of Kings

Though I’ve heard that one before
It won't stop me from wanting it more
It’s a sickly, familiar draw

I’ll never, never, never change
I’ll always, always be the same

If you’re wondering where I’ve been
Let me tell you it was interesting
You can follow if you take both my hands

Under sky, under earth, under sea
There’s a big sleep waiting for me
And few return to the sunlit lands

Engine Of Sorcery

What even is this? Sort of thought I might be Brian Ferry for a bit. Red Dead Redemption II has got me playing cowboy guitars.


Keep faith in your glamour
Faith in your glamour
Cause such a clamour 
With your bedside manner

A reminder that the end is nigh
You work and you pray and you try
To make 2 and 2 mean 5
To make you and me feel alive

A reminder that the time has come
So take it with your finger and thumb
To make it just a little bit fun
For once (or twice)

Who else could compare
To the man who gets in everywhere
While they bristle and they prickle and swear
And they’re jealous

Who could stand in line
Waiting for yours and for mine
Waiting for a last good time
For once (or twice)

Bedside Manner

Some ideas and demos from Winter 2018. All recorded on crappy free software and with bad midi drums. Don't have a bass? Just play the lowest string on your guitar and slap loads of chorus on it.
