Hey everyone! My good friend Justin requested QUITE STRONGLY that I do a more official cover of this than the just-me-and-my-guitar cover that I uploaded to YouTube a while back, so here it is. Love ya Justin... this is the absolute pinnacle of my music recordings as far as time and effort go haha

Bartender Song (Sitting At A Bar) By Rehab COVER

Well I put too much reverb on the vocals and accidentally deleted the recording before I could record the last 2 choruses, but here is a very sketchy demo of a song called "I Don't Regret A Thing." There are more lyrics and a lot of silence but as I said this is a sketch, just a rough demo to show people what we're working with. Please follow/subscribe or whatever as I learn how to do this. Thank you everyone.

Lyrics:
Autumn's creeping in again, the axis turns around...
The leaves have faded golden and the grass is turning brown.
The ice inside the air, it tastes like memories of you...
The steel October sky inside your eyes of morning dew.
The paths we chose to travel took a fatalistic turn.
Questions burning deep within, and lessons yet to learn.
And though the trees will shed their leaves, and the birds will cease to sing...
The times we had were perfect, and I don't regret a thing.

(Chorus 1)
So this is what it feels like? This journey we call life?
This is how it feels to grow up, how it feels to be alive?
I won't forget your gentle sighs, or how your loving eyes did gleam...
I forgive your each mistake, and I don't regret a thing.

(Verse 2)
Autumn's creeping in again, a friend but once a year...
It gave your breath a solemn cloud and placed ice inside your tears.
I wish that I could travel back to when our story did begin....
I wouldn't change a single day, I'd just live it all again.
The paths we chose to travel took a pre-destined divide.
My life has always been defined by a restlessness inside.
And though the leaves will grow again, and the birds will come in spring...
The times we had were worth it and I don't regret a thing.

(DELETED DEMO HERE BUT THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER FIRST CHORUS SANG FOLLOWED BY THIS VARIATION)

(Chorus 2)
So this is what it feels like? To watch ourselves grow old?
To dash our young delusions and learn the impermanence of gold?
I won't forget your earnest tries and how you made my spirit sing...
Please forgive my each mistake, and don't regret a thing.

I Don't Regret A Thing (demo)

Hello there. This is a low-quality demo (complete with gradually rising tempo) that I am releasing in anticipation of future recordings. I wrote this song in prison and even though my first 3 uploads are sad songs about girls, I promise you, that's not ALL I write, haha. Hope you enjoy this and please give it a like/follow me and check me out on youtube, Josh Pillault. Love you all and have a great day!

BTW The "LOW" harmonies will NOT be in the final version, please ignore the sounds of cows mooing, it was an experiment that did not play out as expected but I forgot to delete it before I exported the demo.

Lyrics:
All I ever wanted was to make your dreams come true,
to make your life a wonderland and carry on with you.
Now I' standing in the rain, and questioning this life...
And how I need you in my arms to fall asleep tonight.
Every time I hear your voice, like bells inside the wind...
I sigh without a cause and fall in love with you again.
Every time I see your face, like sunsets on the sea...
I lose another part of me.

(chorus)
I am you, and you are me. The sooner you see that, the better we'll be.
Stop resisting me and let go. I can't stop loving you, I know.
And all the pain that you have served, I've convinced myself that I deserved.
So here I am, but where are you?
Where are you?.....

(verse 2)
All I ever wanted was to have you love me too.
And journey through this thing called life that I've been stumbling through...
Now I'm kneeling in the rain, and certain I may die...
your smiles and your sweet visage that echo in my eyes.
Every time I feel your touch, like velvet on the walls...
It's warm like rain, and I'm so grateful for every drop that falls.
Every time I taste your tongue, like opium to me...
I lose another part of me.

(Chorus x2)


THANK YOU!!!

Where Are You? (demo)

Hi there, 3rd song uploaded so far and also the 3rd sad song about girls, but as I said, this is NOT all I write about, it's just that these were the first demos I cut a while back. As ever please ignore the bad singing in favor of the emotion and lyrics and melodies. Hope you all enjoy, please give a like and a follow and check me out on YouTube, Josh Pillault. Also I had microphone latency issues on all of these so if the rhythm gets a little off please forgive me.

Lyrics:
Watch the storm grow every grander between the moss and silent moon,
behind the paneled windows of this frigid, haunted room.
And the stars that hide behind those clouds that curtain all the majesty,
seem to spell a message out from Mercury to me.
I wonder if you do the things you did before the shadows came,
do you still drink Coca-Cola every morning? And do you watch the rain?
When you pass the wilting grass of places where we used to be,
do you take a breath, respect the death of what you felt for me?

(Chorus)
And every time I hear that song, I think of you and I sing along
and shatter into plaster pieces inside my thoughts of what went wrong.
And every memory that solemnly and silently I keep,
is brought to burning life each night cause I see you every time I fall asleep.

I see you every time I fall asleep (x4)

(verse 2)
I never know if I'm supposed to call the nightmares or if they're dreams, 
and I place the misery within each melody I sing.
My submission, vivid visions, painting portraits and effigies
that set a blaze to fragile places deep inside of me.
I wonder if I cross your vixen mind from fleeting time to time,
do you recall the secret that I told you at the gravel mine?
But as I drown I know I've found a place to point my sanity,
cause if you truly loved me, it was worth it all to me....

I Miss You (demo)

The release of the first song in a long time. Hope you guys enjoy. Check me out on youtube (www.youtube.com/joshpillault) and twitch (www.twitch.tv/jpillault), this was to celebrate 29k subscribers on my YouTube channel. Much love to all the supporters and family <3

Lyrics:
That'll be the day said I, as the wheels of time twirled onward with indifference.
I sensed a subtle aching somewhere between my heart and hands.
There was a song in the place of a spirit, unfamiliar, but welcoming all the same...
and in my weakest of moments I saw that I'm only as sick as my secrets.
I dreamt a dream quite strange and eerie, where crystal raindrops pattered almost silently...
then through a break in the rainclouds, I caught a glimpse of home.
Each small time her eyes met mine, I realized with a shock that I couldn't breathe.
I tasted of every outcome, and each one lacked in one way or another.

(chorus)
What if I said that there are no happy endings?
Would I be called a cynic yet again?
Her footprints have trailed away within the sands of time,
her fragrance is fading with the wind...

This'll be the day said I, as the feeling of sensation vanished from my fingers,
and the only lie I told that day was my solemn vow not to lie.
There was a stone in the place of a beating heart,
cold and leaden but screaming with emotion...
ultimately I decided to bring this secret to the grave, and the sooner, the better.
I dreamt a dream quite calm and conventional,
the sun made all the animals speak in shattered parables,
then through a break in the calamity I sang a song of home.
Each amber time her eyes met mine, I regarded this impermanence with perfect affection,
and shot a silver arrow through hearts other than our own...

(Chorus)
What if I said that there are no happy endings?
Would I be called a cynic yet again?
Her footprints have trailed away within the sands of time,
her fragrance is fading from the wind.

What if I cried out in my silent forest?
Would the noises even qualify as sound?
Her voice a symphony to shame the music of the spheres,
but I only hear the silence all around....



(THANK YOU EVERYONE. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!)

Dystopian Technoscape Demos

The Music of the Spheres

Hey, everyone. This is a song about how overwhelmed I was by the social media revolution upon my release from prison. Just hit 30k on YouTube so here's my poisoned gift to the fans, some ear pain haha. Much love and THANK YOU ALL!!!

Lyrics:
[robot voices, "FOLLOW ME BACK, CHECK YOUR REALITY, TYPE YOUR TEXT HERE, WE ARE TAKING OVER, ARE YOU READY, IT SEEMS WE HAVE A PROBLEM]
(Verse 1)
Hello, beautiful stranger. Are you as lonely as I am?
Lost inside this robot world where the cyborgs never sleep...
Sometimes it seems I can't recall the colors of the summer sky,
but the shades etched in this screen are just as deep.
I fear that we've forgotten the joy of living company,
the thrill of a blooming love brushing your hand.
Inside I fear the tempered steel will be our true downfall,
the day we longed to become more than man...

(chorus)
Look into my eyes, my real ones, not the image,
and awaken what was once humanity.
Look into my face, and I don't mean just the "Time,"
and remember who we were before the screens...

(verse 2)
Hello unknown entity, shall we run into the trees?
And lose ourselves in worlds that we can feel...
Or will the visors soon replace the need for anything but air
and destroy our definitions of what is "real?"
I remember passing notes, and real-life interactions,
and talking face-to-face with those we love...
Now we've become cyborgs, and I know I won't comply,
until it's far too late, it's not enough.

(chorus 1 and 2)
Look into my eyes, my real ones, not the image,
and awaken what was once humanity.
Look into my face, and I don't mean just the "Time,"
and remember who we were before the screens...
Look into my smile, and tell me what you feel...
the sincerity as I show you what I mean.
Look into my skin and tell me what you think we've lost
since we surrendered freedom to the screens...
