collection of noise for public distaste to provide instigation of the rowdy. Please feel free to not care.

Blanket of Rocks

This K&F Edit uses a version From Joe Cuba Sextet y Cheo Feliciano.
Original song by La Ramba

Krywald & Farrer - Oye Como Va (Edit) [Persies]

This song is about Suicide.

I wrote and recorded it in under 2 hours so it's a little rough but I wanted to share it anyway.  

I've known so many people who have decided to take a different path than this life. Some very close to my heart, others not as much. It still has a profound effect upon me to see or hear the manner in which they passed.
I've known many who have come close to the heavy decision and managed to steer themselves clear to continue living. 
Everything needs it's balance and it can be devastating when mental health falls out of kilter.  

After hearing another good person choosing to leave, I found myself approaching the subject through song. Previously, I couldn't have faced it without breaking down myself.
No one is immune from travelling to a darkness they feel they can't escape in this body. Many of you will know exactly what I mean, the luckier ones won't understand yet and may never understand.  

Everyone has the tools to survive if they want but, sometimes it's hard to find them. If you see someone is struggling and you can offer a hand, then you might just save someones life.

There are a few people who made sure I stayed and began to enjoy the world again after a difficult period of existence. I hope they know who they are and that I'm enterally grateful. 

I also found myself turn to God. Even though I'm not religious I felt myself taken under his wing. It was a massive relief and I hope this song might remind whoever listens that you don't have to be alone with whatever it is you're going through.

If I Wanted To

A valentine's day home recording using what was laying around....

I see the road for what it is
I throw my bag around my shoulder blades
To take me on a step or two when I need it
So be
Careful what you do
Be careful what you say
Because love came round here today

We're all alone for all we know
As empty as a down town taxi home
So walk me down a street or two if you mean it
So lets
Fight for what we hold
Not die for what we hate
because love came round here today

I feel you laying close to me
As holy as the breeze through the knees of my jeans
So look me up each time you need a friend
So come on
Take what you can get
Dont get what you can take
because love came round here today

and its
time to find some peace
in all we've pushed away
Because love came round here today...
