Sorry it's been so long getting back on this... comp has been down and work has been consuming my soul and lifeblood...

The words are great man...

And I'll take on the challenge as soon as I get caught up with life in general...

As soon as I re-record a recent song, and finish the current song I'm writing for some friends and family who have been victimized in their lives... I'll take on yours...

I definitely get a strong vibe from them... I'll be able to come up with something with those words.

I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just wanted paychecks.

Thanks for taking the time to check out some of my stuff.  Im really passionate about music and writing out my thoughts and expressing them through voice.  However, Ive never played an instrument and it makes it hard for me to actually write music, at the same time giving me a low level of confidence in actually meeting with a band looking for a singer and showing them what I got.  Id love to hear what you may come up with if you have some extra time.

"Is this the place I search for love?"

It sure is!!! Thanks AIC for bringing Lindsay and I together.

just finished the new one last week and have been trying to record it with little luck...

finally got it done earlier.. but the sound is off a bit because of some mic buzzing...

so mandirt...

that means i can devote some time to yours... i had a nice idea in mind as i was perusing the words...

i think i can have some fun with that, and go to my electric on it...

ok... now to what i originally came on here to do...

the sound is a little buzzy.. but until i get it fixed... it will have to do

Hold Your Head Up High

What started off in innocence

Suddenly turned to something else

For all intents

It just doesn’t make any sense

He came into your life

With a clever disguise

He wore the devils grin

Tried to lure you

Into his web of lies

Took you by surprise

As he took away

A piece of your life

You freely gave your trust

Which he ground into dust

You’ve spent sleepless nights

Wondering why

You lie awake at night

Reliving all the lies

Inside a living hell

A shattered shell

Of yourself

Hold your head up high

Don’t run away or hide

Don’t be ashamed of the tears

Don’t give in to the fears

Don’t you succumb

To what has made you numb…

In your life…

Hold your head up high

Don’t you run away and hide

Don’t be ashamed of those tears

Don’t give in to your fears

Don’t you succumb

To what has made you

Numb…

the link above doesnt work!!!!  I finnally made a couple shitty recordings with some new software I got and I put them up on my page if you're interested.  www.nextcat.com/passionrock.  They royally suck, but I think the original one I wrote shows some potential.  I actually cleaned out my harddrive a few days ago and lost all the poetry Ive written this year, besides a few I printed out.  Becuase I dont practice or play or create as much as I should, I cant remeber most of em. oh well.  Feeling the above lyrics, wish you lived nearby so id have someone to exhcnage ideas with.

PunkyLunky:

Your songs are really good!  I liked them all, but "So Close, So Far Away" best...... beautiful.

How did I miss this thread?  Dude, you are so talented.  Just starting to catch up on the songs you posted, but I totally agree with Punky on "So Close, So Far Away" (Love the title as well )

The Sky Is Falling

words by Mandirtexcuses

 

The sky is falling

I’m in the midst of the clouds
Falling and screaming
See what it means to fall free

Can’t justify the tainted love that be
Stolen from those who only choose what they want to see

The bodies are dying the children are crying to leave
More so in the sky than in the tides of the sea 

Lost Souls (those who don’t care to try)
Lost souls (take what’s yours leave my side)

In the end in the earth we're destined to die

The mind is set in highest gear
Those we chase both far and near

Religious relics dare to dream
I’d crucify myself before I’d resurrect their steam 

Lost Souls (those who don’t care to try)
Lost souls (take what’s yours leave my side)
In the end in the earth we’re destined to die 

Lost Souls know their own
Lost Souls that know their existence

Take me away, Bleed me away from here

The sky is falling

I’m in the midst of the clouds

Falling and screaming
See what it means to fall free 

Lost Souls (those who don’t care to try)
Lost souls (take what’s yours leave my side)

In the end in the earth we’re destined to die
