    I posted these clips seperately in Annalands song of the day. I'm not sure how many people read that thread so I figured I'd post them all on one thread and solicit some feedback. There are no Youtube vids, thats not my goal at this point.


    In the next month or so I'll be taking these songs into the studio for final recording and then mastering. I helped compose and write all 4. I'm working with a 20 something kid that has real talent, he's on guitar and vocals. Bassist, drums and keyboardist were stand-ins. Now mind you these were done in a "home" studio using decent equipment and Pro-Tools 11, but they are still first take rough drafts. His voice is very flat in a few of these but he's good when warms up.

    I'm sure many of you are old school rockers. You'll hear the roots of Nirvana, Springsteen, and even J.Cash.

    My favorite, hands down is "Days". Its a song about addictions. I'll post the lyrics to this one at the bottom of this post for anyone that wants to follow along.


    And let me add one more thing. I am a newbie here and I am here to talk trading, not to sell or promote music. But it seems like a cool site with some cool folks and some relaxed sub-forums. I'm not trying to offend anyone or pimp my music. There's no money in it anyway.

    It takes guts to throw this out there, but music is meant to be shared. So here ya go.

    "Days"

    I stand....,
    out there in the cold with my sign
    Starving...
    for a dream until I'm full.

    You gotta get right
    back to where you were
    from before
    I know you can do it
    Do this
    and don't let em tell you any different.
    ....Any different


    Days go by like seconds
    And minutes, they drag on for years
    And I wake up every morning
    Just to realize another days fears.


    You've never walked a ...
    ...mile in my shoes
    I know you can do it,
    Don't let em tell you any different.
    ....Any different


    Do you remember when this whole story begins?
    Well I don't
    I don't really know, but lately I've been feelin shipwrecked
    And I don't wanna say these words
    just to make you feel
    Like your reeeeal.... because:


    Days go by like seconds
    And minutes, they drag on for years
    I wake up every morning
    Just to realize another days fears


    Now we're runnin backwords...
    I don't know what we're doin'
    You said that I'm your winner
    couldn't be spread any thinner
    You know that I'm drowning
    I don't know what your doing
    You say that I'm your winner.
    Yeaa-aaaaaah.


    Days go by like seconds
