8. I only want to procrastinate
I started recording this on 28 february and added lyrics and vocals two hours before midnight the 29th. It's my favourite now though it's kinda dumb. I started with a drumrythm from a crappy Yamaha Portasound keyboard…

More nonsense lyrics. I quite like the tune though and the vocals are also acceptable for a change.

This one by Tom Waits touches something. I love gutsy music,
and Matilda, the siren of addiction rings a bell for every
musician who's played to the pub wreckage still drinking
at midnight on a Saturday.

Funny story about the ending: my MacBook froze up while recording but I decided to keep hitting keys, and when it recovered I had that sparkly sound. It's probably my favourite thing I've ever accidentally created.

I made this track years ago. I used samples from an old montgomeru trumpet solo to give it that noir sound.

This is yesterday's track, back to the original melody with cross-picked guitar added (oy! that was tough). I see the template for a proper song now, and over the coming days I'll add to this and I hope to end up with something...

Worries Never Win
Verse 1:
Worries have never solved

Only pulled me apart.
