Taster of a blues I wrote about DotA 2. The first few lines are from Johnny Cash - Man Comes Around ( I was interested to see if I could recreate them on Garageband). May finish it at a later date but we'll see...

An 'MLGPRO' Edition of a Planetside 2 song I wrote about 2 years ago. Happy Boxing Day (because I missed Christmas)!

Never Have I Ever (Planetside 2 Song)

The second DotA2 song I've written. Based on 'Ladies Night' by Kool and the Gang.

O.P. (Original DotA 2 Song)

Mugged myself off with a Marks and Spencers meal deal
What a chump I should have known there'd be a Greggs round the corner
Now I'm stuck here with my prawn sandwich and that's a fine how do you

They say my imagination's like a Pentax K1000 liquid crystal captured crosshair
Makes you think doesn't it as I commit you to Celluloid

I'm like a Roomba knockin' round, your skin is my linoleum
Let's check on TripAdvisor and go on a walking tour
Heavy sounds of Grandpa snoring coughing up his guts
I've got a Ford Mondeo and a copy of Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts

Alex Turner shoulda gone to Greggs

A cheesy ode to one of my favourite games of all time.

Lyrics are:

They announced today the latest
In a long long line of games
Where you get to kill the bad guys
In explosions and with flames

Some get their kicks like this
And I think that’s ok
But if I wanted to lose myself
There can only be one way

Cos I don’t need your fancy first person shooters
Angry kids all screaming at their computers
In the evening when the working day’s through
After all these years I keep coming back to

The land of Skyrim, I’ll have never had enough
All the hours of gameplay and I’m still finding new stuff
I might help a man in Dawnstar find a book for his child
Or stop off at Angi’s camp to train in archery for a while
How many miles I’ve walked these lands and still I’m not tirin'
Because I’m still, I’m still playing Skyrim

Yes I may have saved the world already 
from a dragon’s rage
But in all my hours of gameplay 
That was only the first stage

I still wander fields picking herbs
Run from giants and their herds
Listen to the forest’s birds as they sing

I’ve been to every inn there is
and sampled all their precious mead
black-briar is just vile grog 
Honningbrew’s what I need

I still sneak through caves, there’s treasure there
A woman wants me to kill some bears
Stumbled through a vampire’s lair today

Cos I don’t need your fancy first person shooters
Angry kids all screaming at their computers
In the evening when the working day’s through
After all these years I keep coming back to

The land of Skyrim, I’ll have never had enough
All the hours of gameplay and I’m still finding new stuff
A lonely dog at roadside who will take you to his shack
A lighthouse full of creepy crawlies , I’m never going back 
How many miles I’ve walked these lands and still I’m not tirin'
Because I’m still, I’m still playing Skyrim     

Yo the Dovahkiin’s back but I never went away
Cos I been rack in up the game time everyday that I play
Gonna shout at some dragons gonna Fus ro dah
My Daedric Armour’s gonna make you lose your mind
I think you’ll find that that the kind of gear I’m rocking
There’s no stopping all around me bandits are like flies they’re dropping
To my sword swing, SWISH swiping all their heads clean off, I’ll zombify them end their lives until they’ve had enough

And just when I think I’ve done everything there’s to do
Nope that’s not true I haven’t told you ‘bout my alcohol collection
Stored in barrels there is wine and mead indeed a large selection
But if you insist I can’t give it a miss and I’ll have to play this some more
Say the word and I’ll go to the throat of the world don’t you know I got flows in store
Paarthurnax there he’ll be impressed and give the rest of the shouts to me
I’ll take the blame for writing bout games the same as Dan Bull Douglby
But has he got the trophy for completing the whole game
I didn’t think so, took me years so you should all be ashamed

Cos I don’t need your fancy first person shooters
Angry kids all screaming at their computers
In the evening when the working day’s through
After all these years I keep coming back to

The land of Skyrim I just can’t get enough
All these hours of gameplay and I’m still finding new stuff
Who would have thought that this game could provide me with such fun
Though I regret getting married to the blacksmith Balimund
How many miles I’ve walked these lands, how many times have I changed hands with other games that tried to do but there were none that had a clue and though I always kept on trying to say one worked I would be lying cos I’m still, I’m still playing Skyrim.


I'm Still Playing Skyrim

Re mastered this track (or should I say re-BISmastered huehuehuehuehue). What if Bismarck was a rapper? Something I did to 'revise' History...

Lyrics are: Jaaa my name is Otto Von Bismarck
Now I’m sure you know my name
People shout it from the streets and parks
They know my claim to fame

I was born into a big fat junker family
Though my Dad was of nobility
My mother gave my brains to me

Yes I’ll be rollin in hard like artillery by Krupp
My success is greater than that simile I just made up            
To the reactionary ministers like Metternich
What afraid of change or is it cos you have a tiny dich?

I will beat you faster than I beat the Austrians
Run like mice from the battle of Könnigratz
Napoleon wants to fight? Let’s see if he can
Failing faster than the Prussian Union Plan

But that, wasn’t my mistake to rectify
I was flawless like all my bros will testify
If you, want me to send a telegram don’t specify
Whether or not there are parts you want modified

But what if I don’t? The parliament’s a joke
Wouldn’t let me pass budget reforms when our army was broke
Then would we have won the wars, I think maybe not
With no army we would not have come as far as we got

King William was my bitch, King William was my bitch
If he didn’t like my policies I’d give him secret kicks
In the end I know it’s me that he will always have to pick
For as Bismarck there truly is no problem I can’t fix  

But wait, what if Bismarck
Wasn’t the only one
Perhaps without him
Everything would still be done
Steering his ship, just following his nose 
But with no say in the way that the wind blows


Get Bismarcked

An acoustic multi-track recording for my Music Technology class at school.

Take Me To Church (Cover)

A Music Tech sampling assignment - 2 glasses, 2 teapots, 1 can of Red Bull and 1 Drum Machine came together to create this track. That and an awful lot of manipulation in Logic.

Teapots And Drum Machines

A tribute to Don Hertzfeldt using a bunch of samples from his 'Rejected' cartoon - thanks Ben for lending me your Gaia, it was super fun to play with! 

This track was inspired by the work of Electric Mantis - check him out if you haven't already!

My Spoon Is Too Big (Feat. Ben's Gaia)

In anticipation of getting to play this game, I have written a funk song (bear with the intro) about Fallout 4. Something went wrong with the mic at the end and it's 12am right now so I can't be bothered to fix it.

Lyrics -

*50's Section*

All of the time that we spent in such joy together,
Are now anew, there is so much to do and so much to see,
I can hardly believe this is real

There can no longer be any doubt,
This thing with which I can't live out

*Funk (Yeah Baby)*

DROP THAT FALLOUT FUNK ON ME

It's time I paid a visit to a post-apocalyptic land,
With things to kill and guns to get and my own dog to command

My life's getting in the way,
It's don't matter what they say
It's been so long since number 3,
But it's here finally

So don't tease me, release me and
DROP THAT FALLOUT FUNK ON ME

I'm gonna get lost in the city of Boston,
Gotta a whole lotta hell to create
Cos I'm the sole survivor you know that I've
Gotta tear up the whole of the state

Gonna put all my skills in stealth,
Gonna cruise round the Commonwealth
Gonna stab, gonna shank my prey
Lord knows I'll have my way

So don't tease me, release me and
DROP THAT FALLOUT FUNK ON ME

So don't stop me, uh-huh, 'cos I've got to explore
Yes I got things to find in the world of Fallout 4
(x4)

(Should be) So drop that Fallout Funk on me JAM

The Fallout Funk

Having played a lot of Guitar Hero and realising I had 0 actual guitar skill I decided to compose a song about how much I wish I was like Dave Grohl. Also Merry Christmas.

Lyrics:

Verse 1

Well ever since I was a young boy you know I always wanted to be,
The greatest star there ever was, the greatest star there ever would be,
I went to bed each night dreaming all the dreams I had in my head,
Then I learned to play piano and I proudly showed my Daddy who said,

Pre-Chorus 1

He said don't learn to play piano you know it'll only get you so far,
If you really wanna make it you should stop right now and take up guitar,

Verse 2

Well it weren't long after that till I started to see what he meant,
But I chose to keep going and the further and further I went,
I realised that I couldn't make the sound that I so wanted to make,
I realised that choosing piano maybe had turned out to be a mistake,

Pre Chorus 2

And I said why'd I learn piano, I knew it'd only get me so far,
If I really wanna make it I should stop right now and take up Guitar

Chorus 1

And baby I wanna Rock'n'Roll
And I gotta whole lotta soul
And I wanna taste of fame
But because I learned piano you will never know my name

And maybe I'll never Rock'n'Roll
And I'll never have enough soul
I'll never get that taste of fame
Because I learned piano things will never be the same

Verse 3
 
I've listened to rock bands, to Guns'n'Roses, Radiohead
Yeah I've listened to rock bands, to Kiss, Nirvana, Zeppelin Led
The one thing they all had, the thing that made them brightest of stars,
That special one thing, they all knew how to play the guitar

Pre Chorus 3

I wanna be my idols, those cool guys who can shred the guitar,
I wanna meet all the Foo Fighters and jam with them until it gets dark

Chorus 2

Cos I wanna Rock'n'Roll
Cos I gotta whole lotta soul
I wanna get that taste that fame
But because I learned piano you will never know my name

And maybe I'll never Rock'n'Roll
Cos I won't have enough soul
I'll never have that taste of fame
Because I learned piano you will never know my name

*I-can't-play-guitar solo*
(Enough of that sh*t, here's where it's at)
*Piano solo*

Breakdown

And I wanna Rock'n'Roll
Cos I gotta whole lotta soul
Yeah I wanna taste of the fame
But because I play piano you will never know my name

Chorus 3

2-3-4!
Cos I wanna Rock'n'Roll
Cos I gotta whole lotta soul
And I wanna taste that fame
But because I learned piano you will never know my name

And I wanna Rock'n'Roll
Cos I gotta whole lotta soul
I wanna taste of that fame
Because I learned piano I will never be the same




Because I Play Piano

In anticipation of Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord (I CAN'T WAIT) I thought it appropriate to recall my experiences from the last  game.

Lyrics:

I came to this land with nothing
But a hope and a dream in my eyes
The kingdom at war would all bow before
The king whose coming was nigh 

Together we fought against brigands
And looters the scum of the world
But soon our steel would be clashing with that
Of Lords and barons and earls

So ride forth into the fight
Take your arms and take your courage
Let none stand in the way of your crusade

The cities that stand on high
Shall go up in flames
Calradia shall fall  
I’ll see to it all
With Mount and Blade

First in line were the Vaegirs
And though their archers eclipsed the sun
We fought in the shade until we had made
Sure that the battle was won

And the Nords, they didn’t know better
Their men all so proud of their hair
But what use is a beard when our army draws near
To your town and destroys all that's there    

The cold and treacherous north
Stood no chance against my power
In the snow did they all cower ’till they were slain

The lands all covered by snow
Went up in flame
Calradia shall fall
I’ll see to it all
With mount and blade 

Nor were the steppes safe from slaughter
The Khergit Khan wept at my knees
Despite riding high, drew my bow and then I
Shot him down with the greatest of ease

The sands of the sarranids wept and turned red
With their blood as they charged to our blades
The silks that they wore were not meant for war
In the way that our hearts had been made

The dunes they rippled with fear
And the steppes posed little threat
As their fate their people met, in light or in shade

The sun and the sands of the east
Went up in flames
Calradia shall fall
I’ll see to it all
With mount and blade

And what of the Rhodok crossbowmen
Or the Swadian cavalry
They must have known they’d met their match
When at last they came to face me

And so the world is in my grasp
And the crown is mine at last

Now merely to mention my name
Spreads fear throughout the country
Just try it and you’ll see
The legacy made

And all that’s been left in my wake
Has gone up in flames
Calradia is mine
For all of time
With Mount and Blade

With Mount and Blade!

With Mount And Blade

The new Monster Hunter comes out soon! Guess who is going to be far less productive as a result - this guy. Wanted to make something super 80s to celebrate.

Lyrics

Well are you lookin' for someone?
To get rid of an infestation
You know that I'm the one
That you need in this situation

'Cos I'm a Monster Hunter baby
Got my weapons and I'm ready to fight
Yes I'm a Monster Hunter baby
Got my armour and I'm lookin' fine

There ain't no kind of monster that can scare us away
Even though a Dalamadur may strectch on for a mile
I'll grind and farm a full set to eventually say
When I've saved your little village that I did in style

I'll catch the Kecha-Wacha watch the Congalala run like a mouse
Lagiacrus a shockin' while the Barroth is a rockin' this house
I'm too fast for Seregios can't catch me 'cos I'm a lightning bolt
Zinogre keeps a howlin' 'cos he's cowerin' but it isn't his fault

I can't explain it, I gotta show you the way
To get to G Rank all you gotta do is play
Cool as Kushala, lookin' goods all part of the plan
'Cos what's the point of hunting if you're looking like an Uragaan

So are you blown up like a Zamtrios
Just let me pick the first quest 'cos I need it the most
Let's go and climb those hunter ranks, let's do this thang
Let's hit it harder than an apex Rajang

Your Gore Magala’s limping
And the Shagaru won’t take me much more
The so called Deviljho
Is just an oversized dinosaur

Mounting left and right
Won’t take much fight for me to win again
Go plant some barrel bombs
And this foul beast can once again meet its end

'Cos I'm a Monster Hunter baby
Got my weapons and I'm ready to fight
(He's a Monster Hunter)
Yes I'm a Monster Hunter baby
Got my armour and I'm lookin' fine
(He's a Monster Hunter)



I'm A Monster Hunter

I love Vulfpeck, this can be considered something of an homage.

No lyrics here go away

Brighten My Day

I mostly like medieval-y games. Overwatch is an exception to that rule.

Lyrics

  (Verse 1)

Your girlfriend is angry
She says you're outta line
But you tell her I'm sorry baby
There's just one thing on my mind

Your Mama’s callin’
Says it’s time for tea
But to her surprise she hears you say
Oh Mum, quit bothering’ me

They call the doctor
He comes right away
Asks you what’s the problem son
And finally you say

 (Chorus)

I think I’ve played too much Overwatch
It’s like I’m trapped out of time
Won’t someone give me a sign

I’ve got so much to do, but when it hits high noon
I gotta get up and play
No time for workin’ today

Who knew that I’d do
Anything I could to get more loot

Everyone said I was done and I had lost my touch
But anything's subject to change when I play Overwatch

 (Verse 2)

Maybe I’ll pick Winston
And send ‘em in a rage
If I switch to D. Va before long
It’s GG well played

And if I choose Zarya
I pair her up with Mei
That cold Russian blood
Will get all those caught by the freeze ray

The Shimada brothers like no others to play
Shootin’ dragons all without guns is the ultimate way
Even Genji won’t deflect me if I was to attack
I’m a cold blooded killer and that’s a fact

 (Chorus)

I think I’ve played too much Overwatch
It’s like I’m trapped out of time
Won’t someone give me a sign

I’ve got so much to do, but when it hits high noon
I gotta get up and play
No time for working’ today

Who knew that I’d do
Anything I could to get more loot

No Mercy or Zenyatta or Symmetra helps you much
When you come to face me in the game of Overwatch

 (Verse 3)

Hold up, I gotta get my hands on that special thing
That Junkrat found one day
No kind of outback fury coming from a Roadhog will get in my way
I gotta hunker down and drop a turret now 
Become a tank primed to attack
I'll grapple up and catch some air don’t put that headshot down to hax
I’ll charge in, and pin them so you can blow them all away

 (Chorus)

I think I’ve played too much Overwatch
It’s like I’m trapped out of time
Won’t someone give me a sign

I’ve got so much to do, but when it hits high noon
I gotta get up and play
No time for working’ today

Who knew that I’d do
Anything I could to get more loot

You can always count on me when someone has to clutch
Nothing here has been the same since I played Overwatch

When I Play Overwatch

If ever I do make an album this might be the opening track

Verse 1

You wake up like you used to
Thanking god for one more day
And getting up is easy
Cos nothing gets in your way

Yeah you might be starting over
But it's never too late
Just reach your arm out to the door and escape

Verse 2

You know your Mum she loves you
She's only asking cos she cares
And though Dad's not at home
You know that he will always be there

Yeah you might be getting older
But it's never too late
There'll be opportunities for you to escape

Chorus

Oh oh oh I've been running away
From all that I see
But all this time I think
I've just been running from me

And nothing's stopping you
From just dropping the subject
Something's coming you know 
It's coming alright

The sun is out tonight

Verse 3

You might not know the right way
To act when you are on show
But whatever happens to you
That's just the way that it goes

You're not everything you wanted
To see at the end of line
But it's the way you are and that's just fine

Chorus x2

Oh oh oh I've been running away
From all that I see
But all this time I think
I've just been running from me

And nothing's stopping you
From just dropping the subject
Something's coming you know 
It's coming alright

The sun is out tonight

Sun Is Out Tonight
