"Right Where It Belongs"

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

Right Where It Belongs (NIN Cover)

this is just a fresh quick draft i made for A Pair of Us (my music project with husband @dhendymawardi) just now, kind of a sweet song-to-be, maybe because i was thinking of our daughter. lyrics will follow. i hope my pair likes it (he's asleep now) - you might hear his sleeping sound in this draft :')

piano & humming = gothesque

Gthsq - Rough Song Idea With Vox Humming - 9:13:14, 11.13 AM

one of the songs i love from SATB. thought i'd give my stiff fingers and my rusty voice a try. i love you nonetheless, mother Siouxsie.

piano, vox, ambience, mixing: dee

Carousel lyrics

You clamber up and look behind
Their watchful eyes, the helping hands
A hen that's fierce and painted blue
With red eyes wants to swallow you

A dragon dives and soars on tracks
The hands that strap you to it's back
You turned around and look behind
Their smiling eyes won't help you down

Their tiny hands, their tiny feet
Such little hearts to miss a beat

Grotesque dwarves in mirrored rooms
Pulled and taut a thousand yous
Staring back through stinging tears
Remembering those fun house thrills

The paintbox tunes and wild balloons
Their watchful eyes, you start to swoon
Oh, painted vile in lurid hue
The snarling horse that waits for you

It's motor whirs and colors curl
Inside your head the monsters whirl

It's motor whirs and colors curl
Inside your head the monsters whirl

In sucked out
Time stood still
Roundabout back
Carousel
Time stood still
And you remember it well

In sucked out
Time stood still
Roundabout back
Carousel
Time stood still
And you remember it well

Carousel
Carousel



Siouxsie & The Banshees - Carousel (Cover By VoxLucis)

my mother used to sing me this song for me to be able to sleep. i'd like to sing this to my daughter also, only in minor. :D

synth, vox: dee

matahari terbenam
hari mulai malam
terdengar burung hantu
suaranya merdu
kukuk kukuk kukukukukukuk 2x


English Translation: 

The sun is setting, 
it is getting late,
The Owl sound is heard, 
its sound is beautiful...
kukuk kukuk kukukukukukuk 2x




Burung Hantu (short indonesian lullaby)

it has been too long since i posted anything on SC. i've been severely lazy and demotivated and distracted by other things, including this one karaoke app that has become my primary go-to app whenever i feel like singing.

This is an example of a track made by Smule app. I'm singing Sugababes - Overload with my bff @lustygoddess! ❤️

Feel free to follow us on Smule :)

Sugababes - Overload (Cover By Dee & Iwed)

I have always wanted to do a cover of this song by Massive Attack, but haven't had the chance to do it. I will next time, meanwhile I am singing this track from Smule Karaoke App (again).

Massive Attack - Paradise Circus (Cover By VoxLucis)

I decided to do a piano instrumental cover of Antony & The Johnsons - The Spirit Was Gone taken from Swanlights album (2010) simply because it is such a beautiful song and I didn't see anyone doing it yet so here it goes. Feel free to use for your cover song with vocals, but please mention me on the credits. :)

Antony & The Johnsons - The Spirit Was Gone (Piano Instrumental by VoxLucis)

We decided to cover this one beautiful old song from Dewi Gita, which happens to be one of Dee's all time favorite. This is a live recording, so if you happen to hear some background noise, that came from Dee's grandma's turtle, hope that won't annoy so much. -__-

We hope you like this rendition. :)

A Pair of Us - Kekaguman Cintaku (Dewi Gita Live Acoustic Cover with @dhendymawardi)

This is our first home recording, we decided to have another attempt on NIN - Hurt song. We hope you enjoy this one. :)

Dee: Vocal, Piano
Dhendy: Backing Vocal, Guitar

A Pair of Us - Hurt (NIN Cover Version with @dhendymawardi)

Finally we decided to do a more uplifting song to cover. One of my favorites to sing to during my showers.

Dhendy: Guitar, Backing Vocal
Dee: Vocal

A Pair of Us - Mercy (Duffy Live Acoustic Cover with @dhendymawardi)

The first time for me to do almost everything in this song (thanks to my mentor husband Dhendy for teaching me). This is one of my favorite songs by Robyn. Would love to hear what you think of it! :-)

A Pair of Us - Catastrophe
-----------------------

This catastrophe doesn't go nowhere
It stays right here
It’s always there 
Like you and I
It's you and I 

We will be stronger
We promised forever
Through anger, through tears
through pain, and all in between

Even if blood must be shed
We'll stay together
Even if bullets must be shot
we'll die together

I'm singing you a serenade 
of all nights and days
and all the memories they don't just fade away
they'll only be crushed in many many ways

Even if blood must be shed
We'll stay together
Even if bullets must be shot
we'll die together

We are not in love. We are love 8x

This catastrophe doesn't go nowhere
It stays right here 

A Pair of Us - Catastrophe [Original Song]

This is a multitrack recording to test out my new pop filter for vocals. I decided to play and sing this song by Nine Inch Nails, because i think the song pretty much covers different range of vocals.

Vocals & Piano - Gothesque
Mixing & Mastering - Lee J. Hawkins (@skyscraping)

Gothesque - Something I Can Never Have (NIN Cover) - [LIVE take - Mixing&Mastering by @skyscraping]

Nobody's taking me 2x
No one's taking me seriously

Everyone's taking sides 3x
Apparently

But I can't run
And hide, and hide
So I... give up, give up
Give up...

Song/Lyrics/Piano/Vocal: @gothesque

Gothesque - Nobody [Original Song]

I really love watching Game of Thrones, until last night when I watched S03E09. This cover song happened because of that very episode. perhaps my first song I recorded after months of being pregnant, or just plain months of laziness. i hope you like this rendition of mine.

piano, strings, mixing, vocals: gothesque

Lyrics:

And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low? 
Only a cat of a different coat, 
that's all the truth I know. 
In a coat of gold or a coat of red, 
a lion still has claws, 
And mine are long and sharp, my lord, 
as long and sharp as yours. 
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, 
that lord of Castamere, 
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, 
with no one there to hear. 
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall, 
and not a soul to hear.

Gothesque - Rains of Castamere (Game of Thrones cover)

a paradox on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

i post random original song ideas/drafts/nonsense & covers.
