Vocals and backing nicely separated both in terms of place in space and in terms of timing.

Don't know when you did this but the voice seems in very good order here.

This song seems to suit your voice very well indeed.

Wonderful cover of this great song Janne!

I recently renovated this one. An instrumental, with moments where you can tap along, and slower reflective moments. It signifies the ebb and flow of a workday. So I named it Working Day!

Working Day

Lyrics:

Do You feel empowered, or do you feel like you're enslaved?
Do your dreams grow and flower, or do they burn in raging flames in your mind?
Do you feel empowered?

You say your letting go
And you don’t want to know
But what you need to know
Is that you belong

Don’t say your letting go
Just say you want to know
But you say 'it’s all gone wrong'

Spending your time
In the sorrow
Where you’ll never know how far you can go
You're never gonna know
If you say you’re letting go
But I know you know
I’m here for you now

Does your heart beat in wonder, or does it feel like it's been drained?
Are you living your life like thunder, or do you hide and feel ashamed in your mind?

Do you feel empowered? 
Please don't feel like your enslaved
Let your dreams grow and flower
Don't let them burn in raging flames in your mind

Feel empowered

Empowered

A song that touches on the realm of mental health and how we need to help break down the defence of such a powerful illness. It’s not a box to tick or a problem to solve its far more complicated than that. 
If theirs someone we love or just someone we know or even a complete stranger just shine a little light into there corner. This will let them now they are not alone and we are here to talk and help. 
The song as been recorded with live instruments remotely and me and Sarge  we would like to thank the musicians who got involved.
Sarge as produced, played several instrumentals and liaised with the other musicians to make this happen. Enjoy

Darkest Corner ~ Under This Sun _

Rabbit Rock

with the congregation on acoustic bass
Recorded at fredrick street studios and bowling alley

Them’s the breaks 

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life intends
Would hope seem sweeter 
Would fate feel fair
To rob Peter
With no Paul to care

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life demands 
It ain’t money 
And class is lame
What it is
You get to name

Them’s the breaks
The horse you saddle
Like a snake without a rattle
Dropping down from the sky
Like an anvil
You’re up yer life
Without a paddle 

Take what we want 
Not what we need
Steal a glacier for just a drink
Sell them rope when they sink
Screw the others
We’re taught to think

them's the breaks w/ the congregation

Song recipe: Borrow chords from the CCR Songbook that my Dad gave me for my 12th birthday, play some distorted Elmore James guitar licks, shout some vocals, become a human beatbox, add black magic, press record.

Lyrics:
When John met the Devil
The Devil was in a hole
And the Devil said to John:
Give me your hand and I will give you riches like you've never known
Just give me your hand John
I'll give you riches like you've never known
I'll give you a brand new (to you)
Gently used mobile home
Oh, John don't worry about the bad
Cause the bad sleep well
Every single night
I'll leave you lots of whisky and bones
With meat...
Meat on them bones!
You can have all the love that you want
From these bathing beauties
in this Devil factory
It's like a bad restaurant
That's not very good
But you can have all you want
Understood?
One man's good luck charm
Is another man's burden
One man's suicide tree
Is just another man's shade
John, I can give you guile
Vanquish demons
I can keep you in style
Indulge your Id ego
I'll help you keep it under control
Hey John, Let me out of this hole
Get me out of this hole
Give me your hand John!
Your hand John
Lift me up and out of the hole

John Meets The Devil (Act 1)

Not sure what this is…. 
It’s kinda rock, soul ? 
Anyway … it’s here ..

Waves

Another low-fi recording from around 2014, although the song itself was written in 2001 as a reaction to the collapse of the World Trade Center. Quite what my lyrics have to do with that terrible day, I'm not too sure now, but I like the track, so here it is. 

Lyrics
Traffic lights are changing daily
Up and down this fine, fine land
But there’s no one crossing over
‘less they’re holding somebody’s hand

Fear and consternation baby
Are gripping this fine, fine land
No one dares to watch the TV  
‘less they’re holding somebody’s hand

I saw you shy, I saw you try to hide
I saw you hesitate, unable to decide …  
To come inside … please come inside

Oh Fat Betty caught the night train
Though it wasn’t even in her plan
They found her dead inside the train wreck
Holding onto somebody’s hand

I saw you shy, I saw you try to hide
I saw you hesitate, unable to decide …  
To come inside … please come inside

Traffic lights are changing daily
Up and down this fine, fine land
But there’s no one crossing over
‘less they’re holding somebody’s hand

This track is a remix of a piece that I uploaded in January 2022, which I created using a set of self-imposed limitations. I restricted myself to creating tracks using only one synthesizer, and I only allowed myself to repeat the same loop without expanding it beyond the A section. This was a way for me to find meaning in creating music within a limited workflow and timeframe, as I aimed to upload a new track every day. This experience has allowed me to create music more quickly and efficiently, which I continue to do today using more complex structures consisting of 4-5 sections and utilizing DAW software. Since older tracks tend to get buried on SoundCloud, I came up with the idea of remixing them to create new pieces that I could re-upload. As you can tell, the resulting tracks are much more complex compared to the original versions.  I find it fulfilling to add new interpretations to older works, so I plan on making this a series. I also enlisted the help of my friend Moza for this one. I hope you enjoy it!
