Hmm. The trigger was to use a random Wikipedia page [via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random ] -- it gave me a 1990s Brazilian film I'd never heard of. Although it sparked a song, the verses that more obviously related to the film got…

I'd been recommended some free plug-ins for DAWs. One of these plug-ins emulated synths from yesteryear that were bizarrely nostalgia inducing. Which led me down a path to a sort-of retro style song. It's possibly anachronistic: I didn't check…

Not _entirely_ sure where this came from, probably the muted trumpet sound, that's only possible to play in the wearing-a-black-turtle-neck style. Other motifs followed suit. 'Tis mainly from Cubase Halion sounds ... Reason double bass, and…

TL;DR: the song's about waiting too long to do the right thing ... and then still choosing to ignore it when you get the chance. Last autumn, I spent too long polishing production & sound design at the expense of, amongst other things…

TL;DR: this is a synth-pop track about being true to yourself. For the last couple of days of January, I'd been listening to Pete Shelley's "Homosapien"¹, on repeat, like a deranged teenager. The idea was to overdose on a song I liked, so that…

A mention to freesounds.org -- a hole full of rabbits and, um, a Portland Ferry. The ferry's foghorn makes an appearance on this track: a love song. Elsewhere there's the usual synthery -- including Vocaloid vocal synth -- plus some orchestral…

*Lyrics* Looking down at the scars Seeing bars on your window There's a beauty In the broken life I see Don't cover the tears Glory in your flawed story Scratch the surface To let it bleed Roll up your sleeves We choose to sing…

This song had been a "fragment" for a couple of years -- a state the befalls many an aspiring melodic doodle, sound design or chord cadence. This time, the glockenspiel melody that formed the initial draft had another iterative polish, together…

If I'm being kind to myself, I'll say that I wrote this in a "through-composed" style. Truth is it probably required another verse etc., to nudge the song's story along and provide some semblance of structure. Instead, I was enjoying myself adding…

With thanks to FBJ Matt [https://fatboyjamz.bandcamp.com/] for the title, which inspired the lyrics and overall intent. The vocals are largely from synths (I input the melody and lyrics, the synth -- Vocaloid in this case -- generates the tone…

I don't sing many songs: this one's a duet with Sarah, who _can_ hold a note. Piano sound from Verve (the plug-in, not the band). I like the affected sounds: like socks & nails stuffed in the wires. Wonky zither from Vital, drone from x…

Like a king, my queen sits on the throne.

Sequel to the "Spectrum EP", Anthem is the first single released by Jahmahn Sheyin. Enjoy Reggae out of Nigeria.

It's a sick world we ya live in. And with the fulfillment of prophecies of endtimes unfolding, signs we can't miss, "We Call To You" takes our hearts back to Jah. #Jesussaves

This was rejected at a songwriter competition. You be the judge.

Fellas, you can be busy conquering the world, buh nah left ya woman dem lonely at home. Learn from Jahmahn, a certified lover man.

It's systemic, how dem a have and play we down. But a time is near and Babylon cyaan escape whaa come fi dem.

2025 RPM Challenge song idea number six becomes finished song number 12. I like this one. I thought about naming it "Hyperactive Zany" but thought better of it. The GarageBand drummer would have worked up quite a sweat if it were a real person…

2025 RPM Challenge song idea number five becomes finished song number 11. I didn't even realize that song idea number five (literally the song's working title) was in 5/4 time. What a coincidence! Too bad the song wasn't better. It's kinda…

This song was written and recorded to my phone in less than 15 minutes - it's the reason I ended up dropping the first 2 songs I recorded from my 2025 RPM effort , as they sucked compared to this. Lyrics I’m too tired to do anything I’m…
