just singin a tune

This is only a demo, and I’m not Skrillex by any stretch of the imagination. I just wanted to try my hand at dubstep. Remix of LMFAO- Party Rock Anthem.

a song of seasons

Verse:
When the winter rumbles in
autumn gracefully bows her head
and yeilds her splendor, lovely hearts of gold and red towards the ground
and down
and quiet wraps the world again

Chorus:
as mid december starts to fade, she tries to believe that
there is still some hope in change, and one day she’ll find
herself a queen, alive and well and prove to the world that
time will amble on

Verse:
as the summer comes to end
autumn bravely lifts her head
and sings of beauty, lovely hearts of gold and red spread all around
and loud
and wonder floods the world again

Chorus:
and when the season turns to cold, she knows its her time to
spread her beauty, red and gold, to step to the side and
let her mother take control, to prove to the world that
time will amble on

(Bridge: instrumental)

Chorus:
as mid december starts to fade, she tries to believe that
there is still some hope in change, and one day she’ll find
herself a queen, alive and well and prove to the world that
time will amble on

quick cover of a mumford & sons song recorded with the mic on my laptop. just wanted to mess around with harmonies. I just learned this tonight so bear with any mistakes

if you came here tomorrow and drove me away
with a story and a song about hope
if you said arizonas not far nough today
is my very last chance to get home

with the change in my pockets id pack up my bags
say goodbye to this coast, leave a note, make a memory
out of this year
no regrets, no fear
just a smile at the night when you called me and said wont you

come with me
will you aid this soul
cause im over the thunder and out of the cold
im not waiting round here to grow older

weve got strong introspective, we’re holding our own
forge a path, point the compass due north
to a point far beyond the horizon,
a road where the skies will suprise us, an embrace and renewall of sorts

theres no complications, ive nowhere to be
just a bottle of something, the car, you and me
and this midwestern sunrise, the very refresher we need

come with me
will you aid this soul
cause im over the thunder and out of the cold
im not waiting round here to grow older

search

he opened up his eyes,
to find that the world had boldly changed
and everything he once had known
it seemed to have blown away
a sence of regretting everything
is all that remained
and all he needs to know is where to find another home

show me your hands, open
show me how
to make amends, how broke and lost hearts know
when and where to meet
to make themselves complete
its all i ask of you please

river song

she wanders the coast
in search of her home
but its so hard to see
from a capsising boat
she lost all belief
shes given up hope
the wind took her map
she doesnt know where to go

hes writing some songs
to guide her back home
his leather bound book
is filled up with hope
though its been long
about eight months or so
he holds his belief
she’ll hear them and know

that the sun is still setting
on the allegheny shores
and the feild that we laid in
is growing greener with each storm
so dont give up hope and we’ll be together once more

the sun is still setting
on the allegheny shores
and the feild that we laid in
is growing greener with each storm
so dont give up hope and we’ll be together once more

59 days

monday morning 4 am i havent slept at all
its been another night of toss and turn
a fight against the wall

i cant believe your gone

beneith the bariers and harden face lies a gaping empty hole
and through the second pack of cigarettes
im still feeling alone

i cant believe

still im looking up
hoping you hear us crying out
to tell you we miss you
and know its not easy at all to keep you off our minds
i wont ever forget
each memory, so long ago but yet
it chokes me just to say
its two months today.

no one wanted to say goodbye
not with the plans we made
the things we didnt say
and god only knows how we’ll make it by
and i cant explain the feeling of watching my father
bury his face shattered deeper than words can say
its only been two months
yet its a million miles away

still im looking up
hoping you hear us crying out
to tell you we miss you
and know its not easy at all to keep you off our minds
i wont ever forget
each memory, so long ago but yet
it chokes me just to say
its two months today.

acoustic song (no name yet) with a video coming tomorrow.

im lost and confused, standing on the edge in the back of the room
quiet and awkward and feeling out of place
whats the use, its impossible to see through the cigarette smoke
to catch even a glimpse so ill stare at my shoes,
hoping she wanders my way accidentaly

she walks through the door scared and confused,
hoping that im still awake
find me lying on the floor, half a bottle deep
and a million and one miles away
and hoping that one day she’ll bring out the best in me

im shiny and new, standing with her at the heart of the room
laughing and loving the smile stuck on her face
cant decide, do we want another drink or should we just go outside
lay benieth the sky and watch the heavens pass us by

she walks through the door scared and confused,
hoping that im still awake
find me lying on the floor, half a bottle deep
and a million and one miles away
and hoping that one day she’ll bring out the best in me

theres no reason to be that way
she doesnt deserve to be
treated poorly or even less than the best no matter how mad i say
i can be, i still cant believe, the anger she felt was all because of me
now the only thing i can say is damnit girl im sorry
and i promise that things will never end up that way if you come back to me

she walks through the door scared and confused,
hoping that im still awake
and not angry anymore, she just wants to talk
and fix this whole damn thing

when she walks through the door scared and confused,
she finds me on my knees saying
i didnt mean any of the things that i said, never again will i get that way
and know that its you that can bring out the best in me
