Lullaby

‘Let Yourself Cry’ is a heartbeat to hold close to yours when you feel alone and desperate. It’s a song for everyone who’s experienced grief, pain, suffering. It’s words offered in solidarity and comfort.

Let Yourself Cry

Hardball from my debut EP 'An Exorcise in Anger' 

Written by Alexandra Leaving
Produced by Michael Smith at RYP Recording Studios
Mastered by Andy Baldwin at Metropolis Studios


Lyrics:

I guess you always had the vision
While I was cursed by indecision
I play guitar and you play hardball

Then you called me crazy
Well that rhetoric’s just lazy
I’m unhinged at my best
And the rest floats in fragments.

And no more going down to the movies now.

As a matter of fact you can have it back,
All the good, the bad - it’s for you.
And as a matter of fact I don’t even feel bad.
It’s just that sometimes I’m a little blue.

We decorate the silence with some light chaotic violence
You’re out on the field, I still wanted to be your home run.
But then I saw your colours and I don’t wanna be another,
Just another thing you step on.

As a matter of fact you can have it back,
All the good, the bad - it’s for you.
And as a matter of fact I don’t even feel bad.
It’s just that sometimes I’m a little blue.

I don’t want anything but the way I know,
And I know now this is the end.

As a matter of fact you can have it back,
All the good, all the bad - It was for you
And as a matter of fact I don’t even feel bad.
It’s just that sometimes I’m a little blue.
It’s just that sometimes I’m a little blue.

Hardball

A folk ballad with reminiscent sounds of the 60s.

Lyrics:

Why am I frozen
Waiting for the buds to bloom 
Ground is overflowing
I’m running out of room

My body’s aching
I don’t feel the heat 
Subconsciously screaming 
Light me up

I don’t wanna come down
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down
It took me forever to get this high 
High
High
I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down

I watch the air that I’m breathing 
Waiting for myself to thaw
Draw with my fingertips
I don’t need to be in love

My body’s aching
I can feel the heat 
Subconsciously screaming Light me up

I don’t wanna come down
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down
It took me forever to get this high 
High
High
I don’t, I don’t
      
I don’t wanna come down

When I’m up here I want to feel it No limit, no limit 
When I’m up here I want to feel it No limit, no limit 
When I’m up here I want to feel it No limit, no limit 
When I’m up here I just wanna feel

I don’t wanna come down
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down
It took me forever to get this high 
High
High
I don’t, I don’t
I don’t wanna come down

Meandering

This is another fun toon which I hope will get you boppin a bit. It's some tongue in cheek rock n roll / cowpunk relationship counselling from legendary Aussie band the Beasts of Bourbon. Written by guitarist Kim Salmon.

I used my new parlour guitar to play this one. I was quite happy with the jangly chords which I think really suit the tune.

Bitter medicine

The increase in asylum seekers from the future has become a social problem.
In their world, it seems, one can't choose how to live, and one can no longer die.

They did simple jobs that were inefficient with machines.
Provided a minimal living, but it was only a minimum one.

They are waiting for the end of the world.
Feeling hopeless and taking bitter medicine.

Disconnected from the network for the first time in their lives, they look uneasy.
They have never chosen or made a mistake.
That hinders social participation.

They have no sense of belonging to a country because the borders have changed so many times.

They live in hiding in a society of the past.
Feeling hopeless and taking bitter medicine.

Their presence is a huge financial burden, but sending them back is not easy.
There are humanitarian issues and technical difficulties involved.

They seem normal, except for their use of strange slang.
They don't seem to be very good at expressing their opinions.

They've fled to this age in the hope of degenerating.
Feeling hopeless and taking bitter medicine.

Bitter medicine / collaboration with Pablo Dario Martin

Lyrics: Modern Times by IPG1
Verse 1
Am I playing the wrong game —- where losing’s a crime Time’s just not the same—-and there’s no one here to blame In these modern times——where machines reigns supreme breaking all the chains——-to fulfill my dreams ————And that’s a solid —because—- yeah—— I’m back————- Metaphors and rhymes——-my weapons on this track Modulating -from the underground ——one culture one voice And we’re —-wired in like teeth—-like we—-ever—-had a choice Chorus Modern times---- a difficult maze Where screens captivate —— the Information Age And—-We're all connected——yet we’re—also——-alone Lost in a sea of pixels----hearts ———-—cold as stone Modern times————Modern times ——-Modern times

Verse 2 Smartphones--at our side—-our constant companions That double-edged sword—-has become ——-part of the norm buzzing Notifications——like a relentless swarm Distracting —us ——-from moments —-another task ——to perform Just another monster ———taking physical form

**Chorus** Bridge Artificial intelligence--- a marvel and a threat Replacing human minds--- leaving us —-deep in debt Algorithms —-determine our fate—without regret—- Like marionettes ———or puppets on a strings Manipulating our thoughts——damn—we are feeding these things

Verse 3 Social media——-a stage ——for the soul to bare Beneath the surface——lies ——and deceptions —-are clear We curate our lives——-like a perfect facade our true selves———pushed aside ——in total disregard

**Chorus** Outro In this digital age---we must find our way Embracing the power——with a huge price to pay There’s a balance for the screens —-in real life With the key to our future——a new vision insight
