This has some good lyrics, but I haven't as yet found the right formula to unlock a decent lyric:music ratio.  In the meantime, here's the instrumental

Living Hell (Instrumental No Vocals)

This short track grew from a bass-line I'd written for an ABN song (ABN was the punk band I played in for many years in my twenties).  At the time of writing, ABN disbanded due to personal and creative differences between members)and the original punk song was never completed.  I'd just started playing around with Ableton Live and so recorded the baseline so as not to forget it.  Gradually over the years to follow, I would add elements such as the theremin synth.  This track was 'mixed down' before completion, soon afterwards my PC broke - the motherboard blown beyond repair.  So this file, to the best of my knowledge, is the only remaining relic that documents the idea.  There were other parts to this composition, more akin to the songs original punk roots, one particular 'tricky' part played havoc with the time signature - but these are lost forever.

Deaf Ears

WARNING - Lower your stereo's volume before playing, this song is loud - the bass in particular.
This is just a throwaway track, written in minutes and abandoned in less.  Tried to drop a MIDI sequenced simulation of the 'Hendrix Chord' in at the end, but the plug-in I used couldn't recognise chords - only single notes.  Meh digital scmidgetal

Hendrix Who?

Apologies for the cheesy sound of this track - the song itself has potential and I plan to re-record and complete it in the future, but this version 'does't quite work'.  My excuse is that this was my first attempt to compose using Garageband, after two of my PC's decided to crash, taking with them superior sound engineering  software programs such as Cubase and Ableton with them.  I have some bare foundations for lyrics to accompany the music, thematically centred around love as an socially accepted form of insanity or madness - which ties into the title, in case you were wondering (presuming anyone is reading;)
