LOTS OF LOVE

Soft And Warm (Live)

Well I stumbled
That's my memory of last night
So its vague, sure
But in reality its a white lie

Well did I say those words?
And did I cling to yours?
And can you tell me what I was drinking, cuz I've been drinking
Did I tell you stuff?
Did I say too much?
And can you tell me what I was drinking, cuz I've been drinking
Again

Did I hang around
When my memory had turned sour?
Although I can't see
I could drink some more for hours and hours

Did you hear the words?
And did they sound absurd?
And can you tell me what I was drinking, cuz I've been drinking
Did I break my vow?
Show my feelings anyhow?
And can you tell me what I was drinking, cuz I've been drinking
Again

A loser - I lose her

White Lies

Written in April 2021, this song builds a song structure around a series of rhythm guitar hooks on a Fender Jaguar. I was literally just jamming to a beat and came up different variations. These variations became segments in the song. It features just guitar, vocals, keyboard (Motif6) and Baldwin piano (more subtle).

I WANNA ASK YOU

let me take you
to the sky
let me get you
in your mind
let me know
what to do
to keep you
in my heart  

I wanna ask you
please never say
what I wanna know
let me find out
By myself
just looking you
just feeling you
just loving you

I Wanna Ask You

So we are stuck in our own ways
I try to spice things up but your eyes have long since glazed

CHORUS
Perhaps in a sad song
Is where we truly belong
Stuck in a sad space
Like half of our fellow race
A tale with a sad sting
You never felt anything
Are we just plain sad or just a phase?
[We are stuck in our own ways
We sunk without a trace
We are stuck in our own ways]

How we struggled through hard times
Searching for some true love but true love is hard to find

CHORUS

So we are stuck in our own ways
But I will break free from this glue one of these days

Stuck In Our Own Ways

Shit we did: Helped #saveourculture, 
2nd in SC Soundbites contest.
Topped the global chart download chart with the #1 spot, Twice.
Beating out The Prodigy and Zedd (who was very nice about it).  
Many charity releases and hundreds of collaborations.

The thing about "Doing something wrong on purpose" is it is easily mistaken for a schoolboy error. It takes a concerted effort to "do things wrong" often enough, under this auspice, for even some to notice the distinction. Hopefully these few hundred tracks serve to properly prove my professional incompetence.

Don't expect a genre, but I like to dance.

You can find a creator of independent audio art here. I've done stuff before if that matters. With people you have heard of and people you haven't.

Some of the free stuff is here https://soundcloud.com/twobob/sets/free-stuff-for-the-clouders, more is "out there", too...

Dig in and take some time away from that which you expected.
