As The Century's Defined

Cloud 9

My first DAW song!
I enjoyed very much doing this song?
Can you also enjoy it?

Under Pressure
In this world of expectations where success is a decree
All the pressure from everywhere can easily break you and me
Schooling us with numbers and facts, who care is’s breaking our backs
All the promises I must keep still hunt me in my sleep
In this circle of demands the pressure still expands

Education should be the key, but if the pressure breaks me?
What if I cannot break free?

You think when I smile I’m shinning so bright, but deep within there is a fear I can’t fight
All the pressure closing on me, expectations, how to be free?
How can I handle the wight before it is too late?
The obligations are so strong, where do I belong?

Success is what we strive for, but I wonder if there’s more
Expectations are everywhere,  all the pressure I have to bear

Under Pressure

lets be friends

Where are you now...

Where Are You Now...

Soulful Angel

Ruggiero Miles - Love is all we got

lyrics

You're so pretty the birds are singing
The sun is out but I, I can't catch a feeling
Feeling
I went to your show, the people were laughing
The people were clapping, you were crying
I couldn't catch a feeling

Oh Lord, Where do I go?
When I have no emotions?
I can't, I can't catch it
I can't catch a feeling
Can't catch a feeling

A plane went down in the middle of town
Killed a vet who was begging for change as a clown
I can't catch a feeling
I don't do drugs and I'm gluten free
But that don't stop people from gossiping about me
Can't catch a feeling 

Oh Lord, Where do I go?
Where do I go now?
When I can't find emotion?
When I can't get all upset, or happy, or glad, or sad?

I just can't, I just can't catch a feeling
I search, can't catch a feeling

I search
I search...

Can't Catch a Feeling v2

Last "Buzz" section from 6th take. Noise and FX from a keypad with rythmic and distorted beat.

R&N (6.8)

I wrote this song back in 2020 awhile after my long time friend unexpectedly passed away. She was an extremely talented artist and dancer and always encouraged me with my music. We chased our dreams together. I've had this song on my heart, and did this live take tonight. First take. Did the best I could. I hope you enjoy the song, and whoever out there that has lost a close friend, I'm so sorry. You'll see them again one day!  I dedicate this song to my dear friend Danielle..."Dani" And that's the actual letter and coffee cup in the picture that's referenced in the song. Letter was from 2008.  My first name is Daniel, Colter is my middle by the way.   Thanks for listening!

Treasures

Hasn't been long since your soul took flight
You are way too young to be in Heaven
Can you please send me a dream tonight
Just a glimpse of you up in your mansion 
I miss you, You're so far where the sky isn't blue

Thinking of you way up in glory
Looking at some treasures from our story
I still have the coffee cup you gave me
Gracefully you etched piano keys
I still have the letter that you wrote me
Beautiful words in calligraphy 
Traveling up your steps in the winter breeze
Oh what memories 

Can you please send me a dream tonight
Maybe you could ask God if you could
Just a glimpse of your smile in that light
God is all love I believe He would
He loves you, He just had such greater plans for you 

Thinking of you way up in glory
Looking at some treasures from our story
I still have the coffee cup you gave me
Gracefully you etched piano keys
I still have the letter that you wrote me
Beautiful words in calligraphy 
Traveling up your steps in the winter breeze
Oh what memories 
Oh what memories

I hope you're dancing up there 
I hope you're dancing up there 
I hope you're dancing up there 
right now

I hope you're dancing up there 
I hope you're dancing up there 
I hope you're dancing up there 
I hope you're dancing up there

And someday I will join, you

Treasures (Original song live)

The song combines gentle melancholy with modern, electronic accents. The acoustic guitar forms the core of the song, supported by light electronic elements that enhance the emotions while creating a contemporary atmosphere. The voice is soft and a little rough, permeated with a bittersweet melancholy that takes the listener into a nostalgic world.

To box deep thought mind locks,
