Purple Days- by S W Schloegl (c) 2014
 a demo i recorded at home. 
guitar and vocals by Sally W Schloegl


Verse 1

It hurt so much-it’s been 20 years
Something he did confirmed my deepest fears
To realise with absolute certainty
He never ever loved me
Not one iota-I was just part of some quota- 
In his head, another notch on his bedstead

Chorus

I’m seeing red
Ooh but I’m feeling blue
You’ve coloured my heart
In almost every hue
I’ve been green with envy
White with rage
I’ll walk around for little while
In a purple haze
Here come those purple days

Verse 2

I was very sure I was quite immune
I’d never ever dance or sing to his tune
I’d theorise with resolute uncertainty
I was fairly sure he missed me
We were just star-crossed lovers
Destined for one another in another life
Huh? What a big fat lie!

Repeat chorus

General Comment:
*This is a weird one for sure.  Quite a contrast of Punk and Pop within itself.  I have yet to decide if that is a good thing haha *

What is it about?
** Sometimes it feels like everything and everybody is working against us.  But if try to consciously remember and try to live everyday like it could be your last, your life will be more fulfilling **

X - Trouble Spots
*** Drums Drums Drums!  I had trouble with this, and ran out of time so it is what it is at this point.  At least the idea is there, but drummers will laugh ***

✔ - What I like most about it
**** The musicality of the chorus.  I enjoy the guitar progression and mood of it.  ****

Turn Off The Light

LYRICS: 

Ever since I was a little kid I knew what I wanted
But I was a bit shy so I never ever flaunted
haunted me all my life like a ghost in the night
but I wasn’t afraid to leave the closet open wide 

& growing up gets a little tough when
the kids are all mean & they’re leaving you out 
& they’re saying that you’re not enough
but you’re gonna get through this
see what the truth is
the cool kids from the past are gonna be biting their tongues

Oh yes, I know I’m young but I 
know things won’t come if I don’t try
time really isn’t on my side
What’s gonna happen tomorrow?

But right now I’m breathing, I’m alive
I’d rather seize it all & thrive
than reach the day I die
wish I’d have done it before cause

Life is short, life is short
So I’m gonna do what I want
I’m gonna do what I want with it [x2]

Now I’m looking to the future, 
learning from the past &
the present is a present but it isn’t meant to last
in the fast lane with the fast pass
screaming my name 
don’t forget it you’re gonna regret it
cause you letting me go, a damn 

shame on you, you didn’t believe it before
claim that you could read all the signs on the door
fame was something that was inevitable
I bet you wish you could touch me now

but I’m high up in a sky with a thousand stars
lies were being told & creating scars
& I know why cause all the hurt has taken me far
the haters & the naysayers 
are gonna be wishing they’d swung

Oh yes, I know I’m young but I’ve 
learned that it’s worth it when you try 
cause you’ve gotta fall a thousand times
before you die you gotta live through the sorrow

See the forest for the trees 
& be able to find 
the reason for the letters & the words that never rhyme
Cause when it is your time, you’re gonna wish you’d have done it before

[chorus]

starting over now
starting over now
before it’s over now
over now, now now   

[chorus to end]

What I Want

What I Want - Original

Composed and sung by Kamakshi Khanna 

Featuring Tarana Marwah On Keyboards, Strings, Pizzicatto
and backing vocals

Recorded/mixed and mastered by Keshav Dhar at Illusion Audio, New Delhi 

Cello recorded and produced by Randy Slaugh (Session producer/ String arranger) 

Paper planes and paper boats, won’t you come and carry me home?
Oh Little girl, across the street come and build some sand castles with me

Dirty Stains from summer rains, running through those hidden lanes 
Bring me out, of this cage 
I’m longing for the good old days 

Let’s take a step back to the time when we thought fairytales were real 
Let’s paint our lives with pastel colors so that everything seems surreal 
so why can’t we just take things slow and why is there a need to grow?

General Comment:
* This was really rushed but all came about in about 4 hours from the first chord to a 1st demo version *

What is it about?
** 1) hit bottom to rebuild, just make sure you don't rebuild exactly as things were before unless you want to hit bottom again. 
2) Consciously striving to improve all aspects of oneself **

X - Trouble Spots
*** Time ! ! ! With 2 days off in many weeks, this was rushed, it is rough, but … you be the judge ***

✔ - What I like most about it
**** The variation of Melodies and defined parts within very 2 very similar chord progressions ****
