Bio

My day job is playing in a function band alongside a bunch of guys I went to school with (we never quite made it as rock 'n' roll stars!) I write songs and have composed some instrumental music for film/tv and other media projects. I'm very keen to write for other artists and I'm keen to work with other like minded composers/musicians/producers.

    This is great! I love the echoing of 'we will push, we will pull, we will find a way through' and the piano scale up the keyboard at the end. I wouldn't make any changes, except perhaps a few more instruments. But it's fantastic as it is!
  • fourlife 3 months ago
    Wow, I really like this, everything that you did! Nice work. Are you planning on putting it to music soon?
  • alexfamous 3 months ago
    You have very passionate vocals man. Loving the work.
  • fourlife 3 months ago
    Yes! I can't wait to hear it! Are you gonna go for a more upbeat song or a little slower? Perhaps slow in the beginning then get loud in the chorus; but whatever you want to do is fine with me. big_smile

    OMG I just listened to the Come When You're Ready on the Soundcloud link...before I just read the lyrics, but after listening to it...wow! Simply put, it's amazing. I love the piano in it the most, it was a super cool touch.

    Flying down this icy road/Don't wanna pull the brakes, but/Roadblock on this highway/How can the future/Look so far away//As soon as I get out of this rut/I step in another puddle again/Whenever I try and take cover/Clouds come no matter what, will this ever end// Chorus: (I took it and adapted just a little bit) Where there is pain/There is comfort/When there is fear/ We are brave/ To find an opening/Through this blockade

    Nice work on the chorus! I just changed the brave part a little so it makes a little more sense. We can add the second verse...any ideas for a bridge? Maybe... We will push/ We will pull/ We will find our way through?
  • fourlife 3 months ago
    lol that's what I guessed...it's fine!!
  • fourlife 3 months ago
    Haha yeah we can tweak it a little to make it a happier one, I would definetely not mind that because most of my songs that i've written/been writing are sort of down...perhaps the chorus could be super hopeful, like...hmmm...this song is a lot about the weather i've noticed, so we could incorporate "silver lining" or (cheesy, sorry, just my thought process) "rainbow." Do you have any ideas?
  •  gslade 3 months ago
    Just listened to Run With the Memoris and subsequently added you to my watchlist.. rock on dude
  • fourlife 3 months ago
    This is what I have so far:

    Flying down this icy road
    Don't wanna pull the brakes, but
    Roadblock on this highway
    How can the future
    Look so far away

    As soon as I get out of this rut
    I step in another puddle again
    Whenever I try and take cover
    Clouds come no matter what, will this ever end?

    No chorus, but second verse could go something like this

    The silence of suffering
    The urge to live quietly
    Keep walking straight and in line
    I'll just let them think
    That everything's fine
  • fourlife 3 months ago
    I think if we worked with a new song it might be better, if that's alright with you...I have pieces of one that I think is pretty good, if you want to hear it. Some unfinished pieces, and since you're a good songwriter yourself, you could fill in the blanks if you'd like. smile
  • fourlife 3 months ago
    I would love to collaborate, although I've never done it before...:D but I have no accessible way of putting any of my lyrics to music, so that would be helpful, thanks! I have quite a few unused lyrics.
