Name: Life on the shelf by Erris
Duration: 3 min 22 s
Description: This song was recorded on my phone in my VW Jetta. Alvarex guitar. Bit of a squeeze.

I like the title. I like the acoustic striped down version.

Hi listeners. This is just me strumming this song for the first time. it's not perfect yet.  chords are E A E D. bridges are EDA. Endtro EDADA. easy to finger pick too. I'll add that track next week.  more songs on the horizon

Great singing .. i envy . I dont know where to begin to sing . Awesome song

year i like the rtaw potential good voice

you make music matter Erris and even without fancy production or studio you bring it to life

Well I almost scrapped this song but after 3 weeks writing words, and then realizing how fun it is to sing, i kept it. I'm trying to figure out how to add a little lightheartedness to my music, but i think this one just turned out creepy lol. NOTE:  I always felt a little uncomfortable with the words, i just really didn't like them, so I reworked the chorus and a few other lines, and rerecorded the vocals. It seems a little better now...
 

I've seen my own worst enemy
Every night just staring back at me
Through the mirror with such animosity
And baby, it drives me crazy
I don’t understand what’s with this guy,
He don’t know that he’s alive
He combs his hair on the wrong side

I don’t expect you to understand,
But I’ve got these hammers for my hands
I like to start with everything
and smash away what I don’t need
and scattered all around are the pieces off of me
oh baby can’t you see what this done has to me

It’s a strange strange situation 
I need a little information
If it’s real or just imagination
Don’t say it’s so, I can’t believe 
Its down to you and me again
Up against the world my friend
Who can say   how this will end
 
It’s 3am and you’re slamming doors
Cause ‘I don’t speak your language anymore’
While I’m on my knees picking pieces
Of me up off the floor, 
I can’t lose much more, these pieces could be the last of me,
I wish I could see the way you see
is there anything left in this debris

I had 2  more  stems to this but the keyboard on the computer broke down 
it doesn't take  keys anymore or any other input . So instead of a  " ringer " it became a
Dead Ringer . There was a counter rhythm and sort of a melodyline to this
maybe it can stand on it's own..

We’re on our way!!! In the positive 🤩

It’s All Downhill From Here

Thank you to everyone who stopped and listened to this track
The new moon and the full moon are visited every month.
The person looked up at the night sky from the earliest times.
I look down at the moon while keeping distance always same as the earth.
The planet which looked at thing, all which happened on this earth.

The ｍoon lost in shining

Choir trained, classical piano when I was young. Had fiddle lessons 9age to 14, every Thursday night. taught myself tin whistle, and I learnt to play guitar when I was in my 30's. Still not a great musician, but I love to sing and harmonise. sang lead and B.V in Irish pub bands in my 20's, then ran a music venue for a while. life took over and loss and heart break made me write lyrics. before that I just wrote music at PHD level. inspired by Irish music, Mary chapin carpenter, Mary Black, Enya, and Lady A. People say I write like Carol King, I kinda agree. Doing radio promotion presently, in UK and USA. Will work closely with Tim Bond to complete the 1st album. I've written 3, maybe 4 by now.
