Christmas song

This is a laid back, acoustic track with harmony vocals. Beneath the quieter vibes there are some hidden edges to the lyrics which focus on maintaining your identity in the age of social media. Written for my daughters. If you are interested in licensing any lyrics, get in touch. Lyrics for this one are: 

Stop with the filtration 
Stop with the curation 
Stop all this rose tint lens
And the good time friends

Cut out the whitening 
Tone down the brightening 
Cut out the light ring
And the bling, bling, bling 

Turn off the cheap shots
Turn off the chat bots
Turn down the non-stop,
What’s hot, jack pots

Too much blah, blah, blah
So much nah, nah, nah
Bit much ooh, la, la
And the uh, uh, ah

No more buying all the glam 
I’m not falling for the same old scam
You don’t 
Make me
Who l am
Who I am
Who I am 

Enough with the click bait 
Enough of the deep fakes
Enough with the high stakes
And the toxic hate

Stop with the gaslight
Stop with the late night
Stop with this half life
All out of sight 

I see clearly through the sham 
No more falling for the same old scam
You don’t 
Make me 
Who I am
Who l am
Who I am

Start with the human touch 
Start with the positive
Starting to rise above
With the simple love

Bring up community
Bring up the listening
Bring on humility 
And some honesty 

I see clearly through the sham 
No more falling for the same old scam
You don’t 
Make me 
Who I am
Who l am
Who I am

Who I am (you don’t make me)

Lyrics

Too late little sunshine,
You are too far in the dark.
Too late little sunshine,
I was your hope, and you was mine.

I tried to grasp your pains, your sorrow,
Comforted you in my arms.
Embraced your frightening past and so
Hiding my fears and me behind...

Too late little sunshine,
You are too far in the dark.
Too late little sunshine,
You let me down, you might be right.

It’s true i need your love and caring,
To shine through your eyes.
But emptiness sometimes I’m facing,
Help me to realise.

Fighting with myself, fall to the ground.
Waiting for a hand, that I can’t found.

Too late little sunshine,
You are too far in the dark.
Too late little sunshine,
I was your hope, and you was mine.

Too late little sunshine,
You are too far in the dark.
Too late little sunshine,
Maybe a light can lead us now...

Written about that first big unreciprocated crush.

Lyrics:

In those long distant wilderness days, 
When we paddled on the rivers and the warm waterways,
And every night there was a fire and a song, 
And the group would all be singin’ 
With me strummin’ along,
Yeah, it was then that I started to fall, 
And it was then that I really thought you had it all,
A mystery fever that I couldn’t resolve,
It wasn’t something that I thought I could speak of,
I kept it hidden in a bottle of love.

You were lost in another affair, 
It was pretty obvious that it was goin’ nowhere,
But as my feelings continued to churn, 
You endlessly described it and I suffered the burn,
And all that time there was a glorious pain, 
A euphoric obsession in an overwrought brain,
And all that time the sun was mixed up with rain,
Then I knew what they had all been speaking of,
But mine was stuck inside a bottle of love.

Over the years our companionship grew, 
Lots of music, lots of friends along the way,
Over the years I held no magic for you, 
But I was okay for occasional play.

Instrumental

Regardless of the why or the who, 
Only time is the healer and for me it was true,
Another chapter opened out of the blue, 
Another love, another life upon a new avenue,
And if it all didn’t have any meaning, 
And if it all was as tangible as sand through a glove,
And if it all was just a brief intervening,
Then it’s a memory I don’t want to speak of,
But let it slumber in a bottle of love.

Bottle Of Love

Lyrics:

Seeing you in this haze of smoke and poison
Closeness emerging, enveloped in bright lights 
Fingers briefly entwined
I'm loving tonight's little lie

Feeling you in this haze of empty promise
Little hedonist luring us away from silence and from the light of day
Your smile, your hand in mine
I’m loving tonight’s little lie

Refrain:

Bring on the magic, the sparkle in your eye
Opium to me - I know you’ll leave me high and dry
One more time, just one last time, relishing this thrill
Baby I can handle it - the solitude 
Tomorrow’s chill

Seeing you in this haze of lust and nectar 
Your scent 
Dig in the knife
Time passes, urgency fades
Embrace the night, leave a dent in the picture
I’m loving tonight’s little lie 

Seeing you in this haze of smoke and poison
Closeness emerging, enveloped in bright lights 
Fingers briefly entwined
I’m loving tonight’s little lie
Feeling you in this haze of empty promise
Little hedonist luring us away from silence and from the light of day
Your smile, your hand in mine
I’m loving tonight’s little lie

Refrain

Tomorrow's Chill

The Cadence

Pretty soon things will come undone
Despite the bounty we have won

Silver Screen

No Sorrow

Fell For Your Spell Again

An emotional ballad about lost love, amid the uncertainties of life, love, and emotional turmoil that we leave behind us......

Lyrics
The dark can’t survive in the daylight
A rainbow can’t appear without rain
This thing that we call love lives deep inside us
And when it cries it always causes pain

I’m hurting, god knows I’m hurting
I’m hurting deep inside
And there’s nothing I can do
I’m missing you

There’s no sound to be heard in the silence
No conversation when nobody speaks
There are no words to describe how I’m feeling
And I’m drowning in a river of my tears

I’m crying, god knows I’m crying
My heart is crying out
And there’s nothing I can do
I’m missing you

There’s no time left to waste in a moment
And there are no moments left to lose
If time could go back a thousand moments
Maybe then I could spend one with you

The night’s are so hard and I’m not sleeping
But there’s no sleep to be had without you
I find an empty space when I reach out to touch you
All that’s there is the memory of you

The memory of you

And I’m missing you
I’m missing you
I miss you

Don’t Wanna Fall Into Your Arms Again

Don’t Wanna Fall Into Your Arms Again (MP Project 1967 ft. Katty Heath)

LOVE BOMB

Vocal Engineer: Sam
Mouth Trumpet: Psychedelic Revolution
Recorder: Psychedelic Revolution
Printer and Chair Sampling: Psychedelic Revolution


A standard 1-6-2-5 progression found often in R&B except I did a tritone substitution at the end for some progressions. Also did some half step distancing for the diminished chords sometimes. There is a gospel guitar rhythm for the hook. For lead, there is my new favorite scale the Hindu scale, Dorian b2, as well as Lydian #2. Also superimposed the organ for the first 2 chords of the hook. There is also a printer and chair sound being sampled. 

Here are the lyrics with a few annotations: Basically about a disgruntled office worker. 

Verse 1:
It’s the boat that rocks you slowly and the bills that drive you crazy and the all too many sleepless nights 
I roll over and kiss my wife and then I fix the eggs, maybe I’m dead inside
It’s the hope that kills you slowly it’s the will that drives you holy and when its all over, I pray that I’ll be alright
I pray that it’ll all end, paycheck comes often, cos’ only then do I feel alive 


Chorus:
Hallelujah
He loves his children       (Radiohead reference)
Rain down
On a dark night

Do ya see I that bleed when I hand in that report that’s due for six months and I might turn violent, if I don’t get my way 
Do ya see that I can’t just quit cos’ of my kids, and the presents that I need to give at Christmas
And you earn more than me don’t cha 
Wish that I could
Work
Harder
Run
Faster
And arrive
A little earlier 
Work
Harder
Run
Faster
And arrive
A little earlier 

Verse 2:

Don’t know if it’s just me or the neon lights but my varicose veins are starting to look pretty heavy
I check up on my doctor and he says you’ll be fine kid, take a couple of pills, drink a couple of beers and then you’ll be steady
In confines, collars that choke us, slowly losing focus, as the time runs out
It’s the hope that kills you slowly it’s the will that drives you holy and when its a’ll over, I pray that I’ll be alright
I pray that it’ll all end, my paycheck comes often, only then do I feel alive

Harder, Faster, Earlier (Demo)

Betrayed Again

Like I Want You, as performed by Giveon 🌹

Like I Want You

"Eine Combo die es in sich hat. Robert Carollo, auch bekannt unter dem Namen Rob Downbeat, und Sunforst, und Michael Heid der unter anderem mit dem Project Sonus aktiv ist. Beide Musiker bilden die perfekte Symbiose aus analogen Synthi Klängen, Groovig- saftigen Beats und eingängigen Gesangsmelodien. Das Resultat bringt dem Zuhörer positive Vibes und wippende Schenkel in Einklang zum Tanzen, Wohlfühlen und Loslassen."
