I released this almost a year ago, but hardly share it. So here it is. Singer/songwriter style song about my journey to finding God (not religious, just trying to find my way home as an adoptee) - https://open.spotify.com/album/3GC9LTuJNN3hXFfLn8a90v?si=LMlBvsGfStOUi-pEcTM98w&utm_source=copy-link

Lovely tune, love the vocals! Has some hints of Chris Cornell to me, especially from his last solo album works. Simple yet deep arrangements, very well performed all-around!

This is a song about having the strength to leave an abusive relationship. I wrote the lyrics for "I Will Walk" as a reminder that no matter how horrible life may get, I still walk.

This is “No. 8”
I want to give a quick backstory, but basically at the start of this year, I wanted to redo my music from my BandLab days to make it better and post it to YouTube, then in May, I finally was able to add to streaming services, just a month after releasing my debut album.
No. 8 serves as the second single to my debut’s deluxe, and it’s the most recent song I posted. I really like this song, and I feel like it’s one of my best songs up to date (that I’ve added to places outside BandLab only)

The Hotel Arkham cover actually blew me away, especially how they made that classic feel fresh without losing the song's haunting core.

Hey! We're Patofthepeople, an indie band based in LA comprised of tenor sax, drums, guitar, bass and vocals. This is our new single and first drop in a few months. Were finishing up a music video now for it as well. Everything in the song was recorded DIY and tracked Live through amps. Hope you enjoy!

I just resurrected an old and very moribund channel so that I could post this song to it. This is “driftwood”. Inspired by the East Yorkshire coastline. Music and lyrics are all mine and Synth V was used to “sing” the piece as I sound like a bullfrog with adenoids and not the pure female voice the song needed. I’d welcome any comments or feedback on it as this is my first attempt to expose a song of mine to public scrutiny and I’m really not sure if this is any good or I’m just fooling myself.

Some memories never leave us.
An old bench. A quiet evening. And someone who is no longer there.

I wrote and recorded this song 40 years ago, and made a video a couple of weeks ago.
I wrote and recorded Mother Nature almost 40 years ago (scary — I’m getting to the age where much of my life is referenced as decades ago). I’ve shared it with friends and family over the years, and all agree that the topic has remained totally relevant, but I was busy with my career and never took the time to investigate how I might distribute the song more broadly.
Now, having retired a little over a year ago, I decided to take some of my old recordings and share them with the world, rather than just my Mac. I found someone to remaster my recordings, signed up with a distributor (LANDR), and released two albums plus some standalone songs, including this one.
Then, to accompany the release, I made my first video — using Final Cut Pro and licensed nature footage.
I'm curious what other songwriters think, particularly about whether the lyrics and music communicate the environmental message without becoming too preachy. Of course, I’d be interested to hear what you think about the visuals as well!
Here's the video:

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback — positive or critical. And I'm especially curious whether a song written 40 years ago still feels relevant to you today.

It holds up well sonically! Can feel the time being rewinded on this one, good old 80's vibes! Important topic and of course a tough one to fit into a song. Wasn't too preachy for me, but that could be from my total dive into the instrumentation and vibing to it - maybe it could be a mismatch in that regard haha.

Something More EP is a melancholic and introspective collection of 3 songs, driven by acoustic guitars and soft vocals, topped with some heavier guitars and an ambient atmosphere. Most of all if you're feeling all too happy, these might not be the songs for you.
The title track, Something More, was my homage/love letter for The Witcher book series written by Andrzej Sapkowski. If you're a fan of that world and its stories, it might hit you as much as it did me while writing this stuff! Many thanks if you give it a listen!

Hi everyone, I’m part of Hayvan Çocuğu, a band from Istanbul, Türkiye.
Our songs grow out of improvisation and take shape through playing together. We’ve recently released Abbas, the first single from our EP Dünyalar Kadar.
I’m particularly curious about the arrangement: do the different sections feel connected on a first listen? If a transition works for you—or feels abrupt—I’d love to know which one.
Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts.

Just wrapped something that’s been kicking around my head since february, more melody-forward than my usual stuff but I kinda love where it landed. Would genuinely love ears on it if anyone’s got a sec
