More progress on my EP. 

This is my song about vampires, dragons, witches, knights, incubi and more… the power of allusion. This song is very fainting couch romantic, which I thought was unusual for me, but it seems to happen every third song I write. The lyrics show how much I played Magic the Gathering as a kid, so that’s a plus. It also shows how much I listened to Sade. I’m really happy with (most) of my vocals. Not bad for one recording session. More as this story develops.

Lyrics (for now):

EVERY SINGLE DAY

V1: 
I would meet the sun for you 
live a million nights, to give it up for…
I’d let Saint George slay me too 
my last breath in fire, 
a tribute to the heat of…

V2:
And I’d let them burn me at the stake
For one day without you 
I don’t think the world could take 
But don’t worry, baby- I’ll be fine, 
I’ll come back, if you’d like 
just summon me as a ghost 
I don’t mind.

C.1:
Every single day I’d give my life for you
(every breath, every step, everything that I do)
And no spell will ever make that untrue
(every move, every beat, babe it’s all pledged to you)
Be there any beast, whether she: big or he: small
I will simply slay them, I will conquer them all-but
If a fellow monster has to take one of us away
I will sacrifice… every single day.

V.3:
Oh yes, I’ve heard of this…
capable of murder with just a kiss, but
You’re the only incubus with a conscience-
well, come closer anyway, baby-
cause honestly, you’re worth it.

C.2:
I would gladly take a silver bullet for you
and I’d give up the full moon for you, baby
disappear into the night, a howl in the grey
don’t hesitate a moment, for me, just get away 
You’re stronger than any other creature I know
But if something were to happen to you really I don’t know
If I could go on another way
cause I need you every single…

C.3:
We prove there’s more to life than stories we sing
love’s not only for princesses, not just for kings
every villager we scare off with our laughter
is a tale we tell of the freak show ever after
hopefully we thrive like this for thousands of years
Supernatural yet actually rather sincere
I could chant and cast with you every single day,
all I need is you.

First time I’m posting full vocals for something. I wrote everything, from the lyrics to the production. Super proud! Still needs work though, obviously. Listen to me SING. Off key in places, at the moment, but that’s what you get for recording on your iPhone in bed. But that’s why its a work in progress!

LYRICS: 

V.1

Again, I woke this morning
and just for a moment
I thought that you were here

I hate that it still happens
guess I’m simply broken
all because you’re gone

B.1

the war inside my mind, it
says I’m so much better,
better off without you, but 

my heart, it yells for me to
run to reconcile with you
& start things off again,

so, its a 

C:

Slow mend without you, my friend
Its a slow mend without you, my friend
Loved you once I may never be able again

Its a slow mend without you, my friend
Its a slow mend, when we’re only friends
Loved you once I may never be able 
to love someone again

V.2

It’s really not so easy
to say what I’m feeling
especially to you

This heart’s a stubborn bastard
attaches, won’t let go,
still stuck to you with glue

B.2

It feels that I last saw you
a thousand and one years ago
but that’s down from an eternity

the signs that I am healing
combat with what I’m feeling
complete I’ll never be

boy, its a

Chorus (x2)

More modeling in Cinema4D. (A) is the model before I created the coffee cup (B) in three dimensions. I kind of like it for the back of my business cards as well.

I want to create an animation to introduce my skill set to potential employers, and start those videos (and any future video blogs on here) with Coffee being poured into my “Joe” cup and the heart beating a few beats. All with a jazzy intro written and composed in Ableton— by myself.

See what I’m getting at here? I can do it all! and wear it in a fabulous outfit to boot.
