<description>Living in thailand for two year now, 16 and doing guitar for the better part of my time here, just started a couple of months ago composing/singing, thought I've been mostly been keeping it to myself. At the lack of recording equipement (unless you can count my mp3 which has a crappy voice recorder), it might be a while before i post any of my songs.</description>

<title>Weight Of Wrong</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1852.html</link>
<description>OK, This is the last one I'll put up for a while. I fear I'm pissing people off :P I'm gunna concentrate on commenting on more people's work. I've just been so busy.

VERSE 1

Oh shit,
Guess I got the wrong end of the stick,
I guess you thought your magic tricks would,
Fool me more than this.

But I thought you'd know,
I'm just too old for magic shows

CHORUS

Well I guess I'm gunna go,
I hope you hold onto your pride,
'Cause it won't be long,
'Till the weight of your wrong,
Leaves it the only thing in your life.

Well I know it hurts now baby,
But you just gotta let it slide.

VERSE 2

Oh fuck,
Seems you'ce really screwed things up,
Or didn't I squint hard enough,
To keep you in my view?

And you,
Flew.

Nevermind.

CHORUS

Well I guess I'm gunna go,
I hope you hold onto your pride,
'Cause it won't be long,
'Till the weight of your wrong,
Leaves it the only thing in your life.

Well I know it hurts now baby,
But you just gotta let it slide.</description>

<title>Box Of Voices</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1447.html</link>
<description>Haven't posted anything for aaages. Thought I'd throw this out here. didn't play it all that well however, was a little hungover ;)

VERSE:


Somewhere, deep beneath the ocean,

Lies this box of voices hiding,

Masked in, dust like sand storms underwater.


CHORUS:


It’s the words I cannot say,
When I need them most of all.

It’s the ones that cut so deep,
Are pressing on my walls.

Release this anchor, thank you,
For all you haven’t done.

I’ll be waiting when they come.


VERSE:


Tie me down a rock is nearby,

Vocal flood walls leave me dripping words out,

Of my mouth when I have so much built up.

<title>A Name Like Tobleron</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1738.html</link>
<description>It's &quot;A Name Like Toblerone&quot; it just wouldn't fit it all in.

I wrote aobut this woman down our hill who is like 30, but looks about 70. Sad sad story. So I wrote this song. Which probably has nothing to do with her, but was inspired by her.

VERSE 1:

Severed fingernails beneath the teeth she bites them with,
A silver bangle dangling from her wrist.
Knuckles white and hard from years of smoking cigarettes,
She doesn't have that long (I think you get the gist)

She's a sinker,
On a fishing wire.

VERSE 2:

She's this crooked little easel of a girl,
Clumps of hair they tear and fall about the place.
And when she smiles (which isn't often, and it takes a while)
It's like her lips against the grain of her face.

She's a sinker,
And she's cast away.

VERSE 3:

She has a name because her mother called her Toblerone,
She has a dog which she just calls Dog.
And when it yelps it coughs and splutters through the living room,
And wades its way into the niccotene fog.

She's a sinker,
She's a sinker,
She's a sinker,

And she's sinking down,

<title>All That I Can Be</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2199.html</link>
<description>Well Here it is. The first track off my piano EP. (well actually the second, this is just the first I've uploaded)

The vocals were double tracked and recorded in my friend's flat using some pretty basic gear. The piano was recorded in a 300 year old chapel on a grand piano. Which had an extremely loud pedal but it's not too noticable thankfully.

My good friend Bella put double bass in a few of the tracks which sounds beautiful.

VERSE 1

I know all the things that people say I hear them everyday.
And I know all the things you like and dislike in me.
But I’m not ready for this kind of conversation where you break down,
What I am and what i wish that I could be.

I’m this passive little angel underneath it all,
But come across as something harder to digest, I guess.
When i’m older and i’m wiser I will know my weaker side,
But for now I’m young and bold enough with nothing here to hide.

CHORUS:

And I,
Had always been the same one there.
And I,
Am not the one who’s changed round here 

X2

Didn’t you notice that?

VERSE 2

I’m aware of all remarks in absence of my presence,
I’m well informed of what i should and shouldn’t say.
And I have trouble with my foot and what I put it in,
I am walking I am moving but I only seem to stay.

I am sure I’ll never change i’ll probably always stay the same,
There’s nothing left I haven’t lost before that I can’t lose again.
So i’ll continue on my way before I go I’d like to say,
I’m only one man. With two hands. I’m all that I can be.

CHORUS:

OUTRO:

I’m only one man with two hands I’m all that I can be.
(Two hands I am all I can be)

I’m only one man with two hands I’m all that I can be.
(Two hands I am all I can be)

I’m only one man with two hands I’m all that I can be.
(Two hands I am all I can be)

<description>PLEASE BE SURE TO VOTE AND POST ... and stuff.  (the &quot;and stuff&quot; isn't as important 8) )

The full name of the song is:

Acutally, 'Sorry' Wasn't the First Thing that Came to Mind

this was NOT the first song i started doing, though i liked the feel of it, so i paused everything else to work on it.  hope you all enjoy.  it's short and to the point, which is exactly how i wanted it to be.  lyrics are below.

This is short, sweet, and simple, like the line you drew between us
I need to hurry to get it all in
I can't afford to waste by breath
You know... places to go, people to see
Oh, and I've got to do this... thing...
This is the last time I'll try
Because you keep on going just closing doors
And this is the last time I'll write you:
&quot;I've had enough.  --Forever yours.&quot;
Don't know what I was thinking, and I'm tired of breaking

Over and over we did this
We live in second-hand hate
I wish to forgive...
But we weren't on the same team

This summer was a dance floor, dark and hot
Just like you
It was all because of you
Like the last time I tried, I don't buy it
But back when I did
No kidding, I just about died
Look, I just really don't need this
For as much as you do, I'm rather confused
Don't know what I was thinking, I'm just so tired of thinking

Over and over we did this
We live in second-hand hate
I wish to forgive...
But we weren't on the same team

This is short, sweet, and simple, like the line you drew between us
Mmkay, maybe not so sweet
But I've been looking for a reason ever since you stabbed me to forget your face</description>

<title>Features</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1765.html</link>
<description>Probably the weirdest song I've ever written. And I screwed up in it so I only got halfway through. But this is the only recording of it. So deal with it.

VERSE 1

There's a mouth on the ground,
Out of breath, out of sound.
There it lies in wait for a face,
Strung out on lipgloss and toothpaste.

There are eyes on the floor,
Eyelid ruins attatched no more.
Vacant stare, too sad to sleep,
All dried out, too tired to weep.

CHORUS

My face is falling apart,
It's been days since human interaction.
My lips to lonely to part,
Other features to perform any other action.

VERSE 2

There's a nose......


Haha. Yeah. Well.</description>

<title>Melancholia V2</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2206.html</link>
<description>The is the first song off the EP. It has a real opening track sound to it. We had loads of takes of the start and ones with a real even chromatic part. But in the end myself and the guy I was recording the EP with decided we likes the uneven sound of the chromatic scales, gave it character.

Of course this was originally called 'Melancholic' but it just sounded lame. So here ya go :)

this song has piano, upright bass, electric bass and vocals in it.


VERSE 1

Welcome to this melancholic town,
she said with a spaced out stare that said everything.
Without anything at all,
But the expression on her face told a tale about the place.

I couldn't run,
And all of the etchings on the walls,
Suggested there'd been no apparent leisure here at all.

CHORUS

You've got a problem,
When you've got nowhere to hide,
And the walls that surround you,
Are the ones you've been assigned.

VERSE 2

Furthermore I'd been talked of here inside,
Before I'd even known I was going to arrive,
I smelt sabotage and treason in the air,
Men in uniform told me what to think and what to wear.

I was trapped inside the body of a beast,
I screamed and gnawed the inside with the edges of my teeth.

CHORUS

You've got a problem,
When you've got nowhere to hide,
And the walls that surround you,
Are the ones you've been assigned.

<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1461.html</link>
<description>Finally! It works! this is quite seriously my 6th attempt at getting this song to load and play. Well done Chester. Well done.

Yes, so this is an old song... but has always held sentimental value with me :)

Check out my other stuff, I load another 2 songs today. A piano one, and then half a song... because i lost the other half... long story.

Seems a lot of people are adding lyrics. So I thought I'd put mine on a couple of songs :)


VERSE 1

So you’ve run away again?
And left nothing in your place.
Except a shadow and a sin,
Etched forever in your space.

PRECHORUS:

Than she turns to you and smiles,
At where you’ve been.
And says life ain’t,
Evergreen.

CHORUS:

Come fall down,
Get blown around.
You’re a leaf up in the air,
And it’s the autumn of your year.

VERSE 2

Well time is coming round the bend,
It seems you try too hard to smile.
And it’s only near the end,
That you find your inner child.

PRECHORUS:
It’s always,
Inbetween.
That you find life ain’t,
Evergreen.

CHORUS:

Come fall down,
Get blown around.
You’re a leaf up in the air,
And it’s the autumn of your year. X2

OUTRO:

You’re a leaf up in the air,
And it’s the autumn of your year.
Your year.

<title>Dear Anonymous,</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3577.html</link>
<description>My favorite song I've written so far probably... the concept of this one is a love letter to a girl the persona feels he about to meet. I used a sort of strange tuning -- the B string is tuned down to an A, which makes for I think some pretty cool open chords -- similar to what Billy Corgan did for Muzzle. The levels in the beginning for the acoustic relative to the vocals are a little low, and the drums we could only record with a single mic, but I still think it came out pretty well. Really meaningful song for me - hope you like.</description>

<title>Last Year</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1733.html</link>
<description>Right, so there was this girl. And we kept ALMOST going out. But I'd always end up with someone else. And I was unintentionally screwing her round, and she really really liked me.

Then I went to uni and she stayed at school. then I was her in this play and she's the most amazing actress. I mean, seriously. so I was gutted - needless to say - and came home and wrote this song aobut what it'd be like if I ended up seeing her in the movies while i worked as like, a cashier at a pizza hut. Ha.

Anyway, bad quality (as you've come to learn from my additions to the musical world) and I had a cold when it was recorded. Also I make loads of mistakes. But I've given up caring.

VERSE 1:

Silence in the darkness of the theatre,
Everyone's watching your mouth move.
When did you disappear?
Speak in a whisper, &quot;I knew her once, before she was here...&quot;

CHORUS:

All of the make-up and lights that seems to follow you 'round,
Can't make you happiuer then before you entered this town.
i know you long ago, how quickly the world disappeared,
Oh I wish it was last year.

VERSE 2:

Remember the days when a photograph was a photograph?
Not a piece of production to increase the suction of age-demographs.
I remember a scene where your face could be seen in person not magazines,
Am I wrong to miss you? And I being Naive?

CHORUS:

All of the make-up and lights that seems to follow you 'round,
Can't make you happier than before you entered this town.
i know you long ago, how quickly the world disappeared,
Oh I wish it was last year.


It's a little more upbeat than some of my others.

This song was recorded in December 04 at a home studio. This is my attempt at a flamenco style song. The two of us didn't play to a click track and did most of this off the floor. We had a lot of fun recording this one because we didn't really have it totally written out before we record it. I liked how it turned out in the end but I would definitely change some things if I could go back. We recorded this song right before we moved to Vancouver and started a Metal band. I hope you enjoy this one. Please tell me what you honestly think because not too many people have heard any of our songs off this CD. Don't feel bad if you laugh when my voice cracks. ha ha .....enjoy!</description>
