I've had my classical guitar since the very start of my guitar playing but until now never made a song with it! So this is its debut. This is also my attempt to incorporate tremolo picking into a song as I find it just so atmospheric and haunting, then the chords came and it all fit together!

The Only Way (Demo)

Resilience
I've changed in days and months over time
Feeling condensed, reduced in my prime
I have no words or even rhyme
but I'm resilient, I will shine

Released, unheld in the disconnect
Pulling strings to my self respect
facing fears of the dark
finding ways to a brand new start

I've travelled far and moving wide
it took my awe to release my pride
to ask for help and free my mind
and now I'm firm in space and time

When the mood is low and the pain is strong
when darkness comes and the night s long
When friends have left or have no time
and all I have are these thoughts of mine


They have no clue but think they know
to be still when all screams go
When life's tide has a heavy tow
I find my strength in hope's ebb and flow

With all this weight I found my spine
I'm standing tall, to myself I'm kind
within me now is this light of mine
I'm resilient, I will shine

Resilience

A little chant dedicated the too many migrants who lost their lives coming to our countries in search of an easier life or escaping some horrors in their own countries.  It's also dedicated to all the mothers and people crying for them.

Lyrics

The boat was living
The boat had gone
The bodies on the seashore
Were staying all night long

The young looked at the snake-head
The night then left him dead
A better life on this shore
was a dream and nothing more

The boat was living
The boat had gone
The bodies on the seashore
Were staying all night long

On The Seashore

VERSE 1

You broke my heart today,
Wish I could tell you different.

I’ve never been a liar
And you’ve always listened.

It’s hard to break the habit,
I’ll be your junkie til I leave this town.

My queen, my amphetamine.
Here comes the comedown, yeah yeah.

Mournful songs
And cheap red wine.

They push the feeling deep
And ease my mind.

And you can keep the weed
Til we see better times.

It’s drinking songs I need
To sleep tonight.


VERSE 2

There hasn’t been a day in two weeks where I haven’t felt like crying.

I’m cyclically sad and sick of it all.

There hasn’t been a day in four years where
I haven’t felt your smile.

Since enter stage left and our curtain call.


Outro

Oh my
I been running all my life

I been running all my life,
I’m about to start running again

Oh my
I been running all my life 

I been running all my life,
I’m about to start running again

Drinking Songs

This is the first of our three Christmas covers recorded collaboratively with the musicians of The MusiCollective (TMC) as part of this year’s festive song advent calendar. December is still young, but to get us all in the right mood, we’re releasing a new track every Sunday leading up to Christmas, and the final one on Christmas Eve. We got over 20 people on this track spanning all levels of singing and recording experience, brought together by the powers of BandLab, relentless nudging (sorry!) and the mixing magic of our Christmas elves. The result was well worth the effort – well done and Merry Christmaaaaaaaas, Everyone!
