Alegria En El Agua

It’s an odd journey, life. Everything happens when you least expect it and nothing is quite as it initially appears. For those who have become aware, there are signposts everywhere, yet to the others, those messages are mere coincidences. This is the true folly of the sane person.

If this track peaks your frequencies, then please do click on the heart and maybe let me know what you think. Massive thanks in advance.

Angel (The 90s Hangover Remix) REUPLOAD

A song that emerged from an attempt to write something in the style of The Divine Comedy (https://soundcloud.com/the-divine-comedy). Not sure I entirely succeeded but I still like the result! Completed with more than a little help from my friends @looseyleaf & @goat-screaming.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
This is a song for lovers 
whose tale is a story old as time 
Two souls meant to find each other
our destinies always intertwined

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Seems every road leads us to this place 
The choices we made, regrets and mistakes 
We’re circling round and round
and running out of space

[Verse 2]
This is a song for dreamers 
those who believed and dared to try
To get where the grass is greener
but found it was on on the other side

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Love is a drug, and life is a dance 
So never stand still or you'll waste your chance
'Cause if you wait too long you’ll miss
that moment a smile leads to a kiss 
So what are you thinking for
if there’s a spark we can’t ignore it 

[Chorus 1]
'Cause I’m someone who needs you 
who feels the same way you do
let me steal your heart 
It might last forever
if we can stick together
this is just the start
Or maybe we’ll break up
kiss and make up
Friends or enemies walking that line
'Cause this is our story
so help me write it line by line

[Verse 3]
This is a song for liars 
who feel the chill but won’t admit 
It's cold 'cause they lost the fire
when love burned to ashes in the pit 

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Memories are just the ghosts of the past 
like water and sand, they slip through the cracks 
Some things can never be replaced
the sound of a voice, the look on a face
So baby keep holding on
to what we have before it’s gone

[Chorus 2]
Now the tides are changing 
the stars are rearranging 
in the sky above 
Anchors lifting, drifting off
ships into the night
a life that never was 
But there was a moment 
for a blink of an eye 
I was yours, and my love, you were mine 
A potion so potent 
that we climbed to the top of the mountain
and jumped 
cause we knew in our hearts we could fly
But we’re out of time 
We’re out of time 

[Outro]
This is the song that lovers sing 
when they are running out of time

Time (For Lovers) (feat. LooseyLeaf & GoatScreaming)

This was my attempt to write a piano-driven rock song in the style of @ben-folds-official/@ben-folds-five, who were a massive inspiration to me when I was growing up and learning to play the piano. Don't know if I succeeded, but I'm pretty pleased with the result !

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
How can you not see we're coming undone
that things have to change before we become
Trapped in regret, stuck living a lie
I'm tired of pretending now don't act surprised
The distance between us has grown through the years 
but you've pulled me closer to hide from the fears
you can't face

[Chorus 1]
I need my own space
but you're smothering me
Tell me how can I grow 
if you won't let me breathe
I know while I'm with you
I will never be free
when I keep putting
you before me

[Verse 2]
Tell me what you want
if there's something that you need 
You can't expect me to guess
or do you think I can mind read? 
It's time that we talked about you and me
Oh!

[Chorus 2]
Keep spreading my wings
but you're holding me down
Tell me how can I fly
if I can't leave the ground
I'm all ready to go
but you need me around
So I keep putting
you before me

[Bridge]
Now our history is a catastrophe
just look at the mess that we've made
Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy
I'm tired of the games that you play
I've stopped listening
every time that you talk
I hear the same shit every day
Might look like myself
but my mind's somewhere else
not hearing a word that you say
How did we let things get like this
This isn't how they should be
So everything's going to change

[Chorus 3/Outro]
Now this is the way
things are going to be
When I put myself first
no more you before me
It's high time that you learned
to stand on your own feet
find out who you can be without me
Now this is the way
things are going to be
When I put myself first
no more you before me
It's high time that you learned
to stand on your own feet
find out who you can be without me

You Before Me (feat. MusicByJayBee) (Franc Rose Mix)

She dreams away,
through the night,
to the sky.
She walks a tight rope,
inside a cloud of fog.

A pearl in the mud,
A rose in the bud,
can shine.

He walks alone,
down a dark narrow alley
where many trod before
He spots a trace,
right where she’s standing
Could he find …

A pearl in the mud
Just give it a rub
some time 

The joys of our springtime, and
the rage of the storm
pass by

Stories 
have been told
about a thousand young beauties,
their fury and their fall
Don’t look away
Don’t say you’re sorry

They’ve heard it before
They’ll swim to the shore
 No doubt 

A pearl in the mud
A beautiful love …

Pearl In The Mud (feat. Loosey Leaf)

I met a fool tomorrow, 
he gave me time to borrow, 
and sent me back to today

He said the debt that I’d owe, 
is one that he’s always known, 
and one I’d have to repay, disgraced

That sneaky old time bandit got me saying god damnit, 
I’ve been duped again

I’d catch him in the future but man is he elusive, 
he always stays one step ahead

My schemes they always falls flat, they’re layin' with the failed plans 
of the mice and middle men

Somehow I always wind up with the present I’m in

Some fella yesterday I, 
I didn’t catch his name but, 
he had a familiar face

He loaded me up with baggage, 
made me a modern Atlas, 
it was the worst kind of trade, betrayed

That sneaky old time bandit got me saying god damnit, 
I’ve been duped again

I’d catch him in the future but man is he elusive, 
he always stays one step ahead

My schemes they always falls flat, they’re layin' with the failed plans 
of the mice and middle men

Somehow I always wind up with the present I’m in

Slow way down, now speed up, 
hurry up and just wait

Cause you ain’t goin' nowhere, 
except for right in your place

That wheel of time keeps rollin, 
tire tracks on your age

That clock only does it’s own bidding, 
it doesn’t care bout your pace, 

It throws it right back in your face

I’m livin in the moment, 
but now it’s about to end, 
I wish I spent my life here

The stress of what’s a commin, 
the pain of what has been, 
I wasted it all on fear, oh dear

That sneaky old time bandit got me saying god damnit, 
I’ve been duped again, and I

I’d catch him in the future but man is he elusive, 
he always stays one step ahead

My schemes they always falls flat, they’re layin with the failed plans 
of the mice and middle men

Somehow I always wind up with the present I’m in

Zeit Heist

Brothers and sisters stopped to rest up their feet
Dipping their blisters in those fresh Alcove springs
They laid down Sarah and they prayed her god speed
Consumption took her before she could be meat

They couldn’t stay long, there weren’t no time to grieve
Bess get to climbing, Wasatch Range is real steep
They reached the Salt lake in the late summer heat
They lost some wagons when the mud started to weep

Forlorn hope is fading
Unclaimed frontier and buried gold
Mr Hastings he was too hasty 
His new route was too dangerous and bold 
And hell followed

Mad about the natives John was pummeling Reed
But Reed pulled his hunting knife and he plunged it real deep
Hardkoop too weary for the pace they would keep
Got left by the trail and that’s the last he was seen

The Paiute raided again down at Humbolt sink
Wolfinger stopped to cache away all of his things
The Wolfingers had riches they weren’t gonna need
So Joseph shot down Karl and left his widow cash free

Forlorn hope is fading 
Unclaimed frontier and buried gold
Mr Hastings he was too hasty 
His new route was too dangerous and bold 
Oh no

They took a break at Truckee Lake in mid November
The snow that fell that night wasn’t due until December
No going forward, there weren’t no turning back 
They had no other choice except to start to set up a camp

It wasn’t long before they run out of food
They ate the dogs, they ate their shoes, they even ate the rug too
Some of the stronger members well they set out for help
But within ten days they started eating themselves

The Indian guides Salvador and Luis
Said man this ain’t natural, ain’t no way we can do this
So the group shot them dead and ate em’ day after Christmas
By then it was normal, they didn’t ask for forgiveness

Back at the camp they didn’t fare too much better
They started eating people once they ran out of leather
The harsh winter span, it had taken a toll 
And when it was over they’d eaten 21 souls

When a rescue party finally reached the undead
They found Lewis Keseberg and they found him well fed
Mrs Donner needed for help for the man that she wed
Mrs Donner looked for help over in the wrong shed

Forlorn hope is faded 
Unclaimed frontier and buried gold
Mr Hastings well he never made it 
To his new route that was dangerous and bold

Manifest, destiny, drove them from Springfield
Too hungry to ride that Oregon trail
That hunger, it doomed them, to their nightmare ordeal
Because they were destined to fail

I'm an amateur songwriter/lyricist and bedroom musician from the UK.

This profile has all of my completed tracks, works in progress and various other random ideas that will probably never go anywhere but I like to keep around...

My main instruments are piano/keyboard and vocals, plus some occasional guitar when I can't find anyone else to play it for me!

I do a lot of online collaboration with other musicians (mainly through Bedroom Bands on Reddit), which is always fun - it's a great way of finishing songs of my own and I also sometimes contribute vocals and lyrics to other people's projects. I'm always open to new collaborations, so if you like what you hear here and fancy working on something together, let me know!
