Written march or april 2021. this song is about being nice. Produced by Alex Banks

You know me, I stay schemin'
think I got another plan
Gonna face the winds of change
face to face with the woman I am

In your nice...house
in my nice...st blouse
I'm your nice...mouse
I'm a nice...mouse
But my knife's out

Think I might shout

I think I might Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee/8037'.;''..';[[[]-aaaaa'''''mm--0988

I'm your nice, mouse
I'm a nice, mouse
and I can't hide all that I'm / about
'cause I'm / your nice...mouse

I have made a hole to dwell in
I can hoard shit and unwind
sat here smellin', my friends are tellin' me
Anything
that comes...to mind

The only cheese I'll eat is vegan
you won't catch me with that stuff
made at the expense of freedom
like it wasn't bad enough

I'm gunna sing each thing I'm feelin'
don't y'know I'm cool as Fu;';l;../.uuuCk
so I can swear, grow out my hair n'stop bleeding
and babe, you didn't make...the cut.

Nice Mouse

This is a song that I was inspired to write for someone special to me💖 I actually recorded this a while ago but my computers been acting up! Aargh. But anyway here it is.

When Will Tomorrow End?

This is my latest track 'Behind The Blue Door' and I wrote it a while ago but only recently got around to recording. Anyway the titular blue door is a place in my mind I'm trying to reach and this song is about the different methods to find it, often I'm relying on outside sources. I think that everyone has their own "Blue Door" but probably have a different name for it.

Naps fuck me up

Presenting 'Indwelling', my collaboration with @sound-eyera as a part of 'Rêver EP' being released 16th of April. This piece started out as a heart felt improvisation on my family's old piano which Eyera's lyrics and ethereal melodies helped transform into a relaxing and healing soundscape.

The 5-track EP combines Haquin's multi-layered & organic beats with a number of vocalists, starting with the rhymes of Atlantan rapper @iamsirbishop on the title track, 'Rêver', Ellie McCracken on 'Confinement', and @sound-eyera on the more positive and epiphanic score, 'Indwelling'. The EP also features two highly-emotive and introspective instrumental productions, 'Memories' & 'The Deep'.

sorry i forgot you don't need me anymore

This is my dumping ground for low-effort or unlistenable creations that I can't be bothered to make videos for, hope you enjoy.
