Hey People,
This is a tune I wrote a while back, I think some orchestration might be really pretty?? I'm leaving it open for whoever wants to contribute!

I'll start a collab soon and upload separate vocal tracks etc.
I'm stoked you all enjoy it so much but I'm really looking forward to getting some backing music and visuals up here!

LYRICS:
My fatal mistake was
I wanted to be you
I wanted to breath you deeply in

I got lost in your beauty
In your eloquent body
In all of those tunes you spun me

I breathe like I'm dying
My lily is flying
And bleeding salt from her eyes
She goes where she's carried
Her anger is married
To her joy and her lies

Chorus
I'm falling into the middle of the hole
In that record you made me
I'm using the words to carve the glass walls
of this box they locked me in

My only mistake was
I wanted to feel you
Not with my hands but with my soul
You got lost in my beauty
In my eloquent body
In all of the stories that I told

Chorus

Don't look at me I might die.
My fatal mistake was, I wanted to be you, I wanted to breath you deeply.

Hey Hey,
This is an original tune I wrote for a friend, it would MAKE MY YEAR if I could contribute to the set at PIANOS :-)

Hope you enjoy it...

ps. I'd love to accompany this song with a cute/quaint animated video clip that works with the lyrics, if anyone's interested...

My first attempt at writing a silly little Jazz Standard...I would love instrumentation so if you need me to send you just the vocal track and the key etc let me know!!

Hey so 'ali-bop' did an AMAZING VIDEO to my song Smell The Thunder but the audio was really crappy from the video I submitted for the NYC LIVE ACTS Collab. Here's the re-recorded audio for the Video!!

My Modest But Growing NYC Record Collection

Having grown up in multiple cities I've built Record Collections in each one. And as I can't bring them along to every city I move to, my collections really embody whatever place I was in when I bought them.

This is my NYC collection (I've lived here for 8 months) Most of these were found in Brooklyn. I moved to this city to study music at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music so this collection is a MINDBLOWING mix of old school and new Jazz (vocal and instrumental) meets Brooklyn Indie Bands, and the classics of course!

This is a little something I found in my notebook that I usually write in when I'm on planes. I feel like I have the most profound ideas/thoughts/insights when I'm on planes so it's a good thing I fly alot!

I wrote this but I'm not really sure what to do with it...Any Ideas?
LYRICS
V1
I've seen this room before
Midnight.
I've sat here before
This damp light

Minds lock themselves
And throw away the keys
Out of windows
That aren't here anymore
For me to breathe

Seconds merge into hours
Nothing has changed
Uncertainty loom sat the doorway
Mocking my chains

Chorus:
And I am lost for a moment or two
You've cost me so much
Now I'm stranded
Holding a candle
Wearing (possible will change to Bearing) worn shoes.

V2
This room that I'm in
Leaves no space for peace
I'm forever being augmented
By pianos and things

My spark's in a bin by the door
biding its' time
There no use for it anymore
Its some sort of crime

Chorus..
Then the music builds up to a bridge (which im working on)

I've seen this room before, midnight
I've sat here before this damp light...

So this obv isn't finished, I just thought my vocals rounded out the sound a little bit and its a lovely song to start with so I reckon it belongs in this album :-)
