One of the first songs I wrote for the album. The lyrics are stream of conscience that I don't think mean anything at all. I don't know, maybe they do.
It ends the album purely because the lyrics say "It's over..."
* Disclaimer: I understand…
Still meta... but with the realization that I can do RPM no matter what my hinderance is. I did this whole album with an Ipad, my acoustic, a cheap microphone and a pair of headphones. All the songs were written hastily in minutes with no real…
I feel the keys and pop feel of this one screams of Tim's influences.
Like if we both listened to the same song, this would be my take away vs his.
Lyric content? You guessed it... Meta.
* Disclaimer: I understand that most of the…
Damn you. You out Letter Seventeened me. And you're spot on. If we were given lyrics and chords and told to go write a song this is your version versus mine, but they'd be damn close. I mean, mine would have 30 backing vocals....
Bonus points for the very gratuitous hand claps.
This Wretched Vessel has a lot of post hardcore, Pop punk, punk, and leaning toward metal guitar riffs... but they have a shoegaze side. The only reason I even own a pedalboard is because of their guitarist.
The lyric content is more meta…
This is a lovely piece of emotion. I don't know what you're saying and I don't care. It's a feeling and it comes through.
Seriously? An iPad and a $5 mic? Wow.
The song titles have nothing to do with the lyrics. They were just cool placeholders...then they ended up staying the titles.

Hello.
Well Hello!
Hello Pillow,
How do you do?
I'm doing mighty fine thank you,
How about you?
Fancy a snooze?
Let's go to sleep right now x 3
Right now. Night now.
Hello.
Hello Pillow,
And what a shitter of a day.
Never…
Glitter and unicorns destroyed my recording device. I used an Ipad from a friend and used garageband to record the whole album with a cheap $5 microphone.
I could have done it on my Iphone as well but my eyes aren't what they used to be... the…
Listened to the whole album; strong melodies, great vocal range. You did all this in two days? Could've fooled me. I get the setup isn't what you would've liked, but I think the whole thing sounds brilliant. Lo-Fi/DIY/what-have-you, I love the simplicity, rawness, spontaneity of it all... and of course, the meta-ness too. Great album title, BTW.

Yacht rock.
Every time I see your smile
I feel like I’ve come home
And every time you stay a while
Is the best day that I’ve known
You’re the one that lights my way
Brings brightness to my day
And I just have to say
Don’t want it…
Everyone loves a tribute to The Cure
I’m sitting here in the dark , Thinking how we fell apart
I can’t shake the feeling of your touch
Remembering the way you smiled, And how you said you’d stay a while
But now you’re gone and I’m here all…
Your backing vocals on this album remind me of something that I cannot quite put my finger on. I like them a lot. I think you have actually done more with less this year in the BGV department. That solo was borderline Just like Heaven... but then again, you said you were doing the Cure and the Cure you did.
I don't even know you anymore.
You open your mouth, the words slip out
I’m shocked by what I hear
The differences couldn’t be more clear
Same scene, different views
With our eyes and on the news
And I’m not sure what to do
I don’t…
Over the course of the album, you seem to have some pent up aggression toward some one... Ooh chimes! sorry ADD... The addition of the left guitar in the second chorus is killer! All of the layers in the end are wonderful!
Sometimes you listen to a Peter Murphy song and then ask ChatGPT to help you write a song. Sometimes you end up with this. You wouldn't believe the lyrics I left out.
Goths on the beach, all dressed in black,
Heading for the waves, and…
Super interesting concept going into this one. I basically have no other words.
Its good? Its weird? Its perfectly constructed?
I think the only thing it is missing is a 12 string and maybe it is already on in there...You really let loose in those last choruses and it is awesome... more of that please.
I asked to robots to help me write a song in the style of Tom Waits.
Riding on a train to the edge of town
Where the night has just begun
People on the street with nowhere to go
Living hard and having fun
Everywhere I go there’s a song…
Love the electric piano you got going on. One of my favourite tones is a Mark IV through a fender amp with a bit of grit mixed with an organ. Those lead guitar tones are perfect for this feel. Very laid back. If anything on the second solo there are a bit too many notes. Just take some out and it will be perfect... just none of the ones after 2:57; those ones are spot the F* on.

Very cool sir!
This sounds like a Pixies b-side. That's a compliment.
This is a great to finish out the album.
This almost reminds me an odd cover of The Beautiful South.

I love the "losing s-s-sync" bit.
Let the guitars crash
Sultry

Nice - feelin' some Afghan Whigs vibes - love it
Love this. Great ambient and angsty vibe - love the brushwork and atmospheric guitar
love it
Nice and gentle way to end the album. Well done as usually good sir.
