Great vocals great production & creativity

It is very good to use a unique sound for the rhythm track based on the guitar playing, which is the perfect choice for the singing voice.

2019 - The year that music bit back

Written by Paul Cook, Steve Jones, John Lydon, Glen Matlock.

A weird version of the classic Sex Pistols tune.

In the absence of "Pistol", the upcoming TV series about the legendary band, I started listening to the old Sex Pistols songs. Pretty Vacant was and is my favorite.

I tried to do the song like the original but I'm way from the attitude and sound. So... This is my version!

The Edit Version of the song contains 
another snare drum and a less hot master = more dynamic

PRETTY VACANT edit (Sex Pistols cover)

This is a piece of music that I wrote on the guitar sometime in 2017. I decided to record it again with the added cello and release it onto the world.
I recorded it using my Yamaha Revstar standard with P90 pickups, Orange Rockerverb amp model from my Line 6 HX Stomp and played around with the Valhalla Supermassive Plugin.

Lost Soul

Variation on a theme from „Runaway/Crash“ by Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow (soundtrack for A. Garland's 2022 movie „Men“). 

At one moment, I had become obsessed with the main motif from that track, playing it over and over again. One Monday evening (I guess it was in November), I added a background track, and finished it on Tuesday morning. Took me some time to record it.

(Sharing a Pot with the) Green Man

My first own composition with designed vocals.
I'm a total amateur so sorry for all the bad parts.

Special thanks goes to my all testdrivers and especially to @r-u-r-pl for his all advices and for a breakthrough that I made on this one after 1,5 month of no bloody idea.

Lyrics was generated by freshbots.org algorythms and a bit changed to my vision. English is not my first language of use so if something doesn't make sense then blame my (non)understanding. It was more like fun making. An artistic way to express for "better" listening.

Main sense was about kind of sick, crazy love, unrequited that drive us to the edge of sense of good and evil. This is the kind of love with our suffering that hurts us and others. And when we can't balance the feeling we go over the edge. And all around must go with us. Especially the ONE.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

In the haze of dusk, you stumble, lost and weary
Can't see the light, but you feel my eyes nearly
Run from me, I'm always behind, you will see
I hide between shadows, just trust your plea

Pre-Chorus:

Keep your chest safe, guard your beating soul
In the depths of darkness, I'll take my toll

Chorus:

Run like hell, can't you hear the alarms?
My presence lurking, causing you harm
Stay in the light, where safety resides
Don't let my darkness become a guide

Verse 2:

Memories fading, just a jumble in your mind
But in your heart, I'll leave my mark undefined
I'll weave in your thoughts, my dagger in your back
Your pumping heart, my trophy from this track

Pre-Chorus:

Keep your chest safe, there's danger in my stare
For I am the creeping nightmare, you're unaware

Chorus:

Run like hell, don't let my shadow prevail
For I won't cease until I unveil
Stay in the light, where truth can’t be shown
Escape the grips of darkness, stand on your own

Bridge:

In the whispers of the night, my whispers so cold
But remember, dear one, you're brave and bold
Though I am relentless, you still have a chance
To break free from my grip and reclaim your stance

Reclaim your stance
To break free
You still have a chance
You still have a chance
You still have a chance
You still have a chance!

Chorus:

So run like hell, leave my echoes behind
In the face of fear, your strength, you'll find
I am the shadow, fading into the night. 
I can see your defiance, will you take the fight?
Run like hell, don't let me get near.
My spirit is the dark. You will always live in fear!

Fun fact:
When I've tried to sing this for a few first sessions, verse "For I am the creeping nightmare, you're (...)" sounds mostly ...different... Constant changing the sentence "unaware" into "underwear" makes me not finished the performance because of permanent laughs on myself. Hope I would never have to sing this on live session because my "professional" sense will never let me skip the mistake unnoticed.

Jungle by The Cruel Horizon

The road is a jungle
two white vans fighting
for the fast lane
see them brakes lightning

the battle is the trouble 
the trouble is the battle 

walking the wild line
you can't save the world boy
the road is a hard live
and full of filthy toys

The battle is the trouble 
the trouble is the battle 

the jungle is out there
freedom got it's price
everything's delivered
makes this the word look nice?

Jungle ft PeeBee and Mies

let me come back
back to you
let me remember
all that we share
the name of all names
the first name of everyone

My Music Videos

Ive had a lot on my mind ..music is a footprint .an emotion and a capsule of sounds caught in a moment and a vibe ..maybe a new road is being paved ahead for me anyway as i live and survive to make art ..punk-rock maybe gone and theres a death on the dance-floor but i see a fog lifting and a impulse is calling me again like a shadow in the wind ..find the sun the dance and the vibe and feel free

He Told You Twice

Love’s not meant to make you sad
Bruising inside out
Oh love, love’s not meant to hurt you bad
Bruising inside out
Oh love, love’s not meant to make you sad
Bruising inside out

You didn’t think that he could be, he could be
You didn’t know that he could be, he could be
You didn’t guess that he could be, he could be
Until he tells you that he won’t tell you again
You didn’t think that he could be, he could be
You didn’t know that he could be, he could be
You didn’t guess that he could be, he could be 
Until he tells you that he won’t tell you again

His tears won’t heal the wounds
Washing over bruises that he gives to you
His tears won’t heal the wounds
Washing over bruises that he gives to you

Oh love, love’s not meant to make you sad
Bruising inside out
Oh love, love’s not meant to hurt you bad
Bruising inside out

You didn’t think that he could be, he could be
You didn’t know that he could be, he could be
You didn’t guess that he could be, he could be
Until he tells you that he won’t tell you again
You didn’t think that he could be, he could be
You didn’t know that he could be, he could be
You didn’t guess that he could be, he could be
Until he tells you that he won’t tell you again

His tears won’t heal the wounds
Washing over bruises that he gives to you

Oh love, love’s not meant to make you sad
Bruising inside out

My latest LP, Edie, stream it free and ad-free www.stephsweet.co.uk/media
or sng.to/stephsweet
Edie Review " Thankfully Steph is still ploughing her particular esoteric furrow and has just released her new single Edie which is as good as anything she's released to date. It sounds like a darkly psychedelic theme from a long forgotten  left field spaghetti western and it's absorbing and utterly enchanting. If the Velvet Underground had been commissioned to do the title track for the Good, The Bad and the Ugly, this is how it would sound." The Devil Has The Best Tuna 13th May 2022

https://besttuna.blogspot.com/2022/05/StephSweet.html


https://www.stephsweet.co.uk  

Gigradar "British singer-songwriter Steph Sweet freely admits she’s a “refined taste” but it’s difficult to not be intrigued by her feisty, often contentious approach to pyschy acoustic indie-rock meets punk brand of music."

Popocculture
"Steph Sweet has brought an interesting and new sound to this area.
With powerful vocals, and swirlly and crunchy guitar riffs that wouldn’t sound out of place in a late 90’s britpop, yet grounded somewhere more in the early 80’s. “All The Things” is dark, broody, a little strange, but also interestingly an ear worm that will grab you and not let go." 

" If the Bronte sisters formed a freak folk band then it'd probably sound something like this." 
Paul Kerr - The Devil Has The Best Tuna

" Placed somewhere between Devandra Banhart and Joanna Newsome, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist  -  vocals, guitars, drums, keyboards  -   combines a talent for bewitching songwriting, with a dreamy, lo-fi alt-gaze delivery."
