Description: I set a challenge for myself to write, record, engineer, and mix/master a song from scratch in the period of 24 hours. Here is what came of it. I dig it, and I hope you do too! Share and spread the love if you like what you hear.

You make me sick Farhad-Too much talent-maybe we should just kill you :-D

Dream Theater - Another day (Cover)

I set a challenge for myself to write, record, engineer, and mix/master a song from scratch in the period of 24 hours. Here is what came of it. I dig it, and I hope you do too! Share and spread the love if you like what you hear. 

Zink - Intoxication by Light

I am a hunter, but
I have lost my instinct
What brings me to kill now
It’s not what those who came before me knew

I am sane despite my actions
on the souls I took for my own
and i’m staying here anyway
what do I care what they know

my father did and his did too
it doesn’t matter who wins in the end
their fathers do what mine did too
it doesn’t matter who takes it

they are the soldiers
they know the price and and do it anyway
we’re indifferent to the sacrifice we demand of them
we only want what we deserve

I can’t believe it’s over
for us right here, tonight
I can’t believe it’s over
despite all the effort we went to

It’s all too late
It’s all exposed now
To play it safe
Is to learn to live with all this emptiness

It’s a borderline opulent effigy
raised up to cleanse and release me 
every time all I see is

a single formative experience for us to share and remember
all I see is the fire

it’s all too late
it’s all exposed now
to play it safe is to learn to live out of nothingness

it’s all i am now

The Storm Beneath

Cover of Coldplay's 'Fix You'

Thought I'd take on this monster track and see what I could do with it. Quite pleased with how it turned out. 

Produced by Tim J Spencer at The Blackstone Studio.

Fix You (Cover)

"Ruins" was originally a Goatstorm track (https://soundcloud.com/goatstorm/ruins) -- now remade as an acoustic/electronic song for Sundren.

Ruins

Freelance Composition for games and Film.

This composition evokes beauty and glory with a hint of mysticism.

Rites of Summoning

I wrote this in 1979 and recorded the backing tracks on a cassette (guitar, drums, bass) in a garage in Pasadena. The overdubs were done on a four track reel-to-reel in the front house.

She Loses Again

Bigtime

We Could Try

This was written in Chicago in 1976. I had just quit a band to go solo and decided to produce a studio demo of 3 songs. This is the result of one tune with the help of some good musician friends. I am playing all guitars and singing lead vocals and high harmonies. I was listening to the Eagles a fair amount in those days. You can probably tell.

Sweet Nostalgia

Written and recorded for the same demo as Sweet Nostalgia.

Coming Your Way
Music & Lyrics by Steve Bittle

Why try and try 
When it all seems so hard
It’s just another time
You get hit from behind
And it knocks you clean off of your guard
Your fingers may tighten 
As your blood pressure heightens
But don’t let it determine your pace
It makes little difference 
So hang on to your good sense
And try hard to laugh in its face

CHORUS:
Just set your own course
And make life worth livin’
It’s all just a matter of space
Forget what they say
And try to be forgivin’
Soon things will be comin’ your way

Soon the goes down
And you look for your match in the dark
It’s been one of those days
And you’re so out of phase
That you find a short-circuited heart
And the search for goodness
Generates little interest
As the winds become hurricane force
But somehow those eyes
Make the temperature rise
And it melts you right down to the source

CHORUS

So long but the words go down
That you’ve looked to your soul to define
But all the pieces aren’t here
And you still have that fear
That you’re losing yourself in the line
They appear to sinkin’
But you try to keep ‘em thinkin’
That somewhere inside you can shine
And you know that that’s true
‘cause if it’s left up to you
It’s not hard to change the design

Chorus
                      ℗ & © Steve Bittle 1976
