i see a light,
i see it, shining through,
like fire through the darkness,
through the gloom
i see myself, i'm rising up,
with a hand to raise me there,
to the sky and through the clouds,
to the blue
to the blue
i see a light shining…
seem to forget
nothing i had
is all there is
to regret
lost since my youth
in spite of it too
my dreams
will come true
all this time that you will find
i believe that i will fly
across the world
for you
now you will see
all…
i see a light,

to the blue
i see a light shining…
so begins my love,
you'll feel my heart
you will know this time,
this turn is mine
i love you, you know i do
what happens now it's always true
so now this time,
you will see that my love won't die
so begins our life,
will never…

you're like a mystery to me,
so dark that i can't see,
like ghosts that come and go,
your absence leaves me cold
how i'd like to warm your frozen heart,
but you choose to stay apart,
within the shadows that you hide,
cannot hide your…
**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022**
Song number 1
Written Sunday 6th February 2022
****
OK, this is a bit of a departure for me - posting songwriting demos.
This is a one mic recording made this morning in the living room, touch of reverbs…
Sounds great! Impassioned vocals and sweet sounding acoustic guitar. There's just something about simple and sparse arrangements. I can see where you're coming from in regards to RPM, there is a significant difference between writing and production. I think I enjoy the production side of things more, and once I finish with an RPM, I rarely go back and touch it. I'm an inept writer, so the thought of writing 14 songs in a month would give me anxiety!
In the final few minutes
That I'll be around
Will you waltz with me in it
Would you turn me down
Would you turn me down
As the time's running out
And I make my advance
Would there be any doubt
If I take the chance
Can I have one…
Quite a challenging album, an emotional rollercoaster; everything from an air of pessimism, to poignancy, to heartfelt. As usual, you have a great way of painting pictures and telling stories through your lyrics. I know you mentioned that you would be proud if this was to be you last album (I'm paraphrasing), and I would agree because it's a great album. However, at times the album is quite dark, which is a bit of a departure from the optimism I'm used to hearing. Hope you continue with your music.
The vastness of the ocean
A darkness in the sky
A lifetime of emotion
How hard you've had to try
To navigate the currents
And the demons in the deep
You have to stay awake
'Cuz they might take you in your sleep
You wish that you could…
Heard something crawling in the walls this morning
Later on, I heard that fateful snap
The little critter never had a warning
I'll have to head on down to face the guilt that's waiting
When I check the trap
A pair of trees I planted in…
If I told you how well I know you
Would you tell me it's not true
Have you got yourself believing
No one could know you like I do
I know it's been a long time coming
So many others you thought would treat you right
But I'm gonna show you…
Everybody's looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die
As if they can't control their own behavior
Or trust what they can see with their own eyes
Mindlessly believing what you tell 'em
When everything you tell 'em is a…
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides
Between the speakers, cover in hand
Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold
I've seen a world they'll…
Fun and neat little album! Love the progression of the songs, like it tells a little story. "Watching the Rain" is a nice song to end the album, sounding melancholy but full of hope. Well done!
Now with more awesomeness! Thank you to This Wretched Vessel Lead vocalist for adding in some Gang vocals to beef up the chorus. Also borrowing their percussionist for some tambourine to give the song some extra pop!
You know I can’t think…
Brian wrote a song.
Wilsun covered it.
Wilsun gave me his Garageband file.
I teamed up with a robot orchestra and we made this.
Hopefully Brian and Wilsun will like it.

A blended cover of two separate Angie Fights Crime songs, joining the compilation group with my good friends from the #RPM Challenge. Recorded in 2016, I thought I would add it to the two other cover tracks in this profile from last year during…
Comments on wilsun's stuff
Great album opener, enjoying the tension!
I like the open spaces of this track. It has that 60's vibe
Angie Fights Crime is how I ended up here. WOW! I love this mix down. Great job! Rock on! Delicious! Gripping!
I dig this. It has a sweet psychedelic element. Stay groovy!
Liking what you've posted so far. Looking forward to hearing more.
I kinda like this too - even after I'd realised "that's all it was". And then it went off quietly... Wonderful sound.
Oh yes
Evocative.
LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
Late afternoon,chilling out with a beer on the sofa,sun beaming through the window's and this is the perfect soundtrack, cheers!!!

Great track! Love the full instrumentation. You should open up your singing like this more often.
Wow... poignant.
Hummable and heartfelt.
Quite epic, great multitracked vocals. Thought provoking lyrics.
A Keith Landry album with drums and electric guitar!? Seriously though, great opener.
Oh, the feels.
Fun and neat little album! Love the progression of the songs, like it tells a little story. "Watching the Rain" is a nice song to end the album, sounding melancholy but full of hope. Well done!
Fun surf rock vibe! Awesome trumpet outro.
Laid back and groovy!
Great acoustic sound and atmosphere, awesome vocals!
Great remix, love the string heavy outro! Interesting to hear the vocals more upfront as well.
Great singing and love the fuzzy guitar sound!
Catchy AF! Love the guitar sound.
Brilliant! Probably the shortest 10 song album in the history of everything.
Emotive and wistful... great cover version!
The two songs wonderfully complement each other. Great, passionate vocals. Love the bubbling synth sound.
Love the indie laid back vibe! Wonderful vocals and guitars. I'm honored, thanks for the cover!
Not mangled at all! Captures the spirit of the song but with an L17 twist. I'm honored, thank you!
