One of my favorite songs ever.

If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand
Hope you find out what you are; already know what I am
And if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again
You can tell me how vile I already know that I am
I'll grow old, start acting my age
It'll be a brand new day in a life that you hate
A crown of gold, a heart that's harder than stone
And it hurts to hold on, but it's missed when it's gone

Call me a safe bet, I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive, only hoping as time goes, you can forget

If it makes you less sad, I'll move out of this state
You can keep to yourself, I'll keep out of your way
And if it makes you less sad, I'll take your pictures all down
Every picture you paint, I will paint myself out
It's cold as a tomb, and it's dark in your room
When I sneak to your bed to pour salt in your wounds
So call it quits, or get a grip
You say you wanted a solution; you just wanted to be missed

Call me a safe bet, I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive, only hoping as time goes, you can forget
So you can forget, you can forget

You are calm and reposed
Let your beauty unfold
Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones
Spring keeps you ever close
You are second-hand smoke
You are so fragile and thin, standing trial for your sins
Holding on to yourself the best you can
You are the smell before rain
You are the blood in my veins

Call me a safe bet, I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive, only hoping as time goes, you can forget

The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot  - Brand New (acoustic cover Jad Montenegro)

Really Bad Habit

I have a really bad habit
Of letting you get under my skin

And lately i've just been forgetting
Cos I need you. i'm getting my fix.

And you just keep coming to me
Like bad news and gravity

I have a really bad habit
(Falling in)
(Falling in)

Really Bad Habit

Can't stream any good shows because of terrible internet, so I did a quick cover of Deftone's Be Quiet and Drive to keep myself occupied.

Be Quiet And Drive Cover | Jad Montenegro


Director requested a short, grungy, dark electro beat version of the original piano/violin based classical piece I did for the main ost, to be used in an action scene. 

Tried to evoke feelings of something chaotic, unplanned, with just a hint of fear in the buildup.

My Heart Will Explode in My Chest | Sonata Maria Movie Soundtrack

Director requested a music-box based track that felt dream-like and playful.

Every day we open our eyes
every day we take a breath
are you just a gear in the wheel
is this just a rattling cage

Funny how life kicks you in the gut
Funny how you can't look me in the eye
When everything hangs in the balance of us
This Machine of you and I
You and I


Oh this machine of you and I
Oil the words and try
not to break down on me
Inside of this machine  

Cos we owe it to ourselves
to fix the pieces
And we, we can never stop
We can never sleep
inside of this 

Cos we owe it to ourselves
to fix the pieces
And we, we can never stop
We can never sleep
inside of this machine

{we can never sleep
inside of this)
(every day we open our eyes
every day we take a breath)
     

machine of you and I 
machine of you and I
machine of you and I
machine of you and I

Walking Through A Dark Street With Flickering Streetlamps | Sonata Maria Soundtrack

 Bad Promise
(or The Emotional Vampire Gets Her Man)

Verse 1
It starts out like anything else
One boy apart from the rest
The light has gone from his eyes
He's so tired of trying to fly

Chorus 1
She'll watch him from afar
His caged and lonely heart
this promise she will make
That his love she will take

Verse 2
She'll give him everything
She'll teach his soul to sing
Her love cuts deep like a knife
He knows he's going to fly

Chorus 2
She's close enough to touch
His brave and foolish heart
A promise she will make:
That his love she will take

His love she will take

His love
His love
His love

Bad Promise

'I'm always looking for moody tracks for my short videos that i shoot with my Canon 550D. Or music to work to. I decided to make this account to put all the songs that I compose on either my laptop or ipad in."
