Description: Ever been in a great relationship that is so good on most dimensions but there's one thing that becomes a recurring point that turns into a conflict each time it comes up? You ignore it for a while and then something small sets off the whole issue again.... That's what Circles is about.

This guitar here sounds great, keep on playing!

great voice and amazing production, great drums

Thanks to Maximus for the great lyrics and vocals.
Production never perfect but a nice tune, 90s Indie vibe

Best That I Knew How was included in the shortlist for the ROCK/INDIE category of the 2022 Australian Songwriting Contest. 

================================

Best That I Knew How was re-mixed and re-mastered June 2023.

===============================

Verse 1:
We started talking about nothing at all
We shared a bit of something and I started to fall
A little bit in love I guess I answered a call
Made her more than a friend

So we got married in a rush of youth
Feeling so free, playing fast and loose
I always meant well you know that's the truth
But I stuffed it up in the end

Chorus:
Wish I could say that I did my best
But it's simply not true
I could have done a whole lot better
If I'd known what to do
I did as much as who I was at the time would allow
I'd like to think that whatever I did, I did the best that I knew how

Verse 2:
We brought you home your mum and me
You entered our house turned two into three
So I went to work thought my job was to be
Bringing home big buckets of security

Who knew back then what a father should be
Who knew what a little boy or girl might need
I learned too late what I needed to see
More than anything you needed more of me.

Chorus:
Wish I could say that I did my best
But it's simply not true
I could have done a whole lot better
If I'd known what to do
I did as much as who I was at the time would allow
I'd like to think that whatever I did, I did the best that I knew how

Bridge:
That's not to say that I didn't try
That's all I ever did and that's no lie
If I didn't live up to the standards I had
I never thought that I was doing all that bad
The only life I've known has been in my own skin
I've never been the man I wish I'd been

Chorus:
Wish I could say that I did my best
But it's simply not true
I could have done a whole lot better
If I'd known what to do
I did as much as who I was at the time would allow
I'd like to think that whatever I did, I did the best that I knew how

================================

This is another take on the song previously released as The Best. The Best was reworked as a ballad and worked well.  This version is my attempt to reproduce the sort of song that I was thinking of when I wrote it.

Best That I Knew How

just a fading memory
it´s all just lttle pieces
it doesn´t really matter

I am sobering up from this world
I am sobering up from this world
that we build

our love has fallen to pieces
and I am running out of reasons
our love has fallen to pieces

Feels like the end of your world
Feels like the end of your world
This ain´t the end of the world

our love has fallen to pieces
and I am running out of reasons

our love has fallen to pieces
we grew out of our niches
and it just felt like treason

feels like the end of your world
this ain´t the end of the world

just a fading memory
and a lot of adultry
a fading memory

our love has fallen to pieces
and I am running out of reasons
our love has fallen to pieces
we grew out of our niches
and it just felt like treason

a fading memory

Therapy Fodder

[Verse]
The world is full of Leeches every avenue you see
But I'll be dancing in the rain cause that's the way to be
I won't conform to their rules won't let them take my fire
I'm blazing trails while they're stuck in the quagmire

[Pre Chorus]
(Believe)
Don't conform

[Chorus]
So be something different let your colors show
In this sea of shadows let your true self glow
Don't follow the blind stay true to your heart
Be something different that's where it starts

[Verse 2]
They're throwing shades of gray and counting money stacks
But I'll be painting with the stars while writing my own tracks
Their voices fade to nothing just echoes in the wind
I'll sing my truth out loud where real dreams never bend

[Pre Chorus]
(Believe)
Be true to yourself

[Chorus]
So be something different let your colors show
In this sea of shadows let your true self glow
Don't follow the blind stay true to your heart
Be something different that's where it starts

[Bridge]
They'll try to break you down with empty shallow charms
But you'll stand taller when you rise beyond their arms
Keep pushing forward don't settle for their mold
Your spirit's shining brighter than any lies they've told

[Chorus 2]
Yeah be something different walk that crazy line
In a world of copies your soul will always shine
Don't let them dull your sparkle or steal your inner light
Keep spreading your own magic turning wrong to right

[Pre Chorus]
(Believe)
Don't let the fire go out

[Chorus]
So be something different let your colors show
In this sea of shadows let your true self glow
Don't follow the blind stay true to your heart
Be something different that's where it starts

[Outro]
(Believe)
Don't conform
(Believe)
Be true to yourself
(Believe)
Don't let the fire go out
(Believe)
(Believe)
(Believe)
Don't conform
(Believe)
Be true to yourself
(Believe)
Don't let the fire go out
(Believe)
(Believe)

Chaos Unleashed 2: Enraged

Songwriter in a lyrical life with a voice like sugar-coated barbwire. Pouring it all out, surrendering to my cathexis.  @jodylynnmusic  New songs drop each month!

I've been writing songs since I was 15, in the studio creating demos at 16 and have had a few shining musical moments along the way.


I've lived all over the country... from Cali back to Virginia where I grew up. Over the years, I've been lucky to have met some fabulous people that I consider kindred spirits and friends.

I love to write lyrics and songs for myself and others... just to scratch my creative itch and for things I love and care about. 

Please add my songs to your playlists and follow me on socials for new releases and updates! Appreciate your support!
