Progress

Sometimes it seems like you're,
Waiting for me to fall to my knees and cry.
Curl up into a ball so mummy can finally say,
"I was right."
Where did that love and support go?
You pretend to be there, well at least you try.
Where did your loving support go?
Did it flee when you revised your life?


I don't wanna fall down your trap,
Cause you ain't coming back.
I don't wanna ever be what you are,
Broken, beaten nothing more.
I wanna show my fight, show my light.
Show that I am something more,
That what you're hoping for.


*a rap*
And I want to thank you, who showed me what not to do in life.
Be a trophy wife, stand small when your partner beats you down.
Make excuses, turn your smile around.
I don't want to be beaten like you were, pushed down, forced out, I'm living in a new world.
We offer you help but you just won't take it, makes me wonder what my mistake is.
All I want to do is free you from your chains and save you from your God aweful place.
But you don't understand the place that your in, you're being pushed down, worn out, and when did this begin?
Because I'm stood at the site of crime and I can hear it, little girl Jaimie she's crying, no she's weeping!
For a mother who won't stop a harmful bastard, all because he's your love, well news flash love.
He's been rotting out your life since you met him, and yet you never seem to regret him.
Cause its never his fault, it's all in his head, his inner demons are making him see red.
Well he should hold back and stop his attack, stop cutting him that slack.
Cause soon I'll be eighteen, let's look at the scene, mother and the monster, wondering if they're gonna,
See their youngest daughter, the one who begged he'd go.
What is the answer, I can't pretend to know but chances are I'll go, run as far as I can see.
You might be stuck with him but me I'm running free.


I don't wanna fall down your trap.
Cause you ain't coming back.
I don't wanna ever be what you are.
Broken, beaten nothing more.
I want to show my fight, show my light, Show that I am something more.
That what you're hoping for.

And I can feel the contrast,
Burning me within,
Like a Saint bathing in sin.
It's rotting me, taking me out.
I'm crumbling and crashing down.
But I want to fight.
I'm gonna show my light.
Cause you know I will be more.
That what you're, hoping for.

Not dead, just resting

Hello, glue.... ers

um

anyway, I just wanted to let you all know what'sgoing on in my half of BTG (I haven't really heard much from Tempest so...)

Basically, I'm busy as hell.

Last week I had tou with my school band (basically we just did concerts at schools around the north of Tassie) and in the week coming up I've got lots of stage work with the school, doing more concerts and helping drama kids...

so I haven't really had a chance to do much for this band

I've been trying to write an original song for a while now and... it's getting there, probably.

I have some slightly good news though! I'm getting a camera for Christmas and hopefully, with that, I can get a microphone setup going and finally record some stuff!

Anything recorded right now will just be covers and the like, but I may eventually be able to work something out with my other band member, so fingers crossed.

That's all for now guys!

~Snow

*Tempest pop up*

As for me mocks and homework aren't helping with the whole "YOU HAVE SONGS TO WRITE!" And I'm kinda have a mental block in terms of writing songs because all the Christmas songs I know are screaming at me and so is all the exam info and the Christmas plotting and the "you should get a job thing" so yeah, noisy brain doesn't make song writing easy.

I have read the draft that is on the blogs admin board thingy that Snowy has written and its sounding good. I like it.


For now I'll just say this; we will keep writing! And we'll work on a collaborative performance if we can. I'll hoping to get a computer for Christmas if I can, then I'm hoping to get cubase so that I can get guitar recordings (etc) from snow, add drums from me and then add whoever is doing vocals recording as well so that I can TRY combine them into an actual song for you all to listen to.

That's all for now Gloonies!
Also comment below what animal you think Snow and I would be if we were animals! I'm intrigued.
~Tempest

RE: Aforementioned Song/Cover Recording

...

I actually really want to record some stuff (songs or covers, I don't know or care).

Only, I need to work out how to record.

See, stuff recorded on my laptop sounds terrible and I'm doubtful about getting it to sound okay recording on my phone (and/or tablet).

So...

Maybe I'll get something done soon????

I don't know. I really don't.

But I will post recordings soon.

I promise.

Thoughts?

Hello again! I know, posting two days in a row, strange, right?

Anyway! The reason I'm making this is to ask you guys something...

which I'll get to as soon as I explain why I'm asking it.

So as you may or may not have noticed  (let's face it, you all have), I don't really post that mamy songs.  This is, simply, because I am utterly useless. Like, I cannot write a song to save my life.

I can, however, cover songs (if incredibly badly).

Which brings me to the question.

Would you lot be interested in videos of me (terribly) covering random songs (probably  (most likely  (almost cirtainly)) accompanied by a ukulele)?

Because that's about all I feel I can do right now.

Don't get me wrong, I am trying to write originals. I just... suck. A lot.

So yeah.

That's all for now, thanks!

~Snow

A Side Note

Hello, everyone.

As Tempest has already said a few post back, Clara has left.

It was her choice, and I understand that completely.

...

She didn't actually tell us she'd left to begin with. She just... cut off contact. When she finally did talk to us again... she explained (to me, at least).

Clara, if you somehow end up seeing this: we love you. And you're always welcome back to the band.

But, for now, for you guys; we're continuing on. Silente will continue to post songs (and I'll try to do a few, maybe) and I'm going to work on a new layout for this blog.

...

I think that's all for now. I suppose we'll try to keep you lot up to date.

See you soon

~Snow

Jai: *casually gonna add to this*

As Snow said, Clara we love you.

However.. after talking me and Snow have come to a decision..

We'd like to audition for new members. As awesome as me and Snow are we could use extra help.
So! We're auditioning.

To apply email me (I presume you know my email) (email me as well, please ~Snow) a potential verse for a song.

We'd really like to record a song of so soon as well, this will be hard for some of the songs without Clara's guidance as to what it was meant to sound like.. and its debatable if we use those songs, because they ARE Clara's songs so really I'd have to ask her but yeah..

We'd love a singer but anyone is welcome to apply, musically gifted of not.

So, to apply email me! Tell me why you want to join, send me a verse for a possible song and maybe say if you have any specific musical talent? We look forwards to any applicants? Thanks Gloonies..

The Ledge

Let me start out, by saying it's okay.
I've loved you this long, you're here to stay.
Everyone has quirks, and that includes you.
You're insane like me, not to mention caring too.
Your hands the one that guides me, your voice says it's okay.
And you'll always save and show me the right way.

And that's why I'll say.

If we were on a ledge, and it was me or you.
I'd give you all my love, and say that we aren't through.
And while we both shed tears, I'd ask you not to cry.
Cause this is see you soon, never a goodbye.

Now my heart is on my sleeve, and my eyes are locked on yours.
If you ask me to leave, I'd walk right out the door.
I try my best to comfort, please baby wipe your eyes.
Just let me hold you close, and put away your disguise.
And you know that I'm here and here I'll stay.
Cause baby I wouldn't have you any other way.

And know I'll just say..

If we were on a ledge, and it was me or you.
I'd give you all my love, and say that we aren't through.
And while we both shed tears, I'd ask you not to cry.
Cause this is see you soon, never a goodbye.

And life is full of games, and wishes thrown in wells.
If life is my relief, then death will be my cell.
But stood out on a ledge, with everything to lose.
I'll give you all my heart, your my forever muse.

Hum

When I happy, my mood up flying

When my soul is tumbling and dying

When all I can do is pinwheel and fall

When I'm missing the masses

Bored in stupid classes

There's something I will do

And I'll share it now with you

Hum.

A non-existent song

Just hum to get the time to move along

Just hum

Make time fly by

Just hum

I'd rather that than cry

When your plane is going down

When there's mourners all around

When your melting from the heat of life's fire

When you just don't know

Why your hearts been let go

And you giving up

Your hearts about to slow

Hum.

A non-existent song

Just hum to get the time to move along

Just hum

Make the time fly by

Just hum

I'd rather that than cry

And those around you will slowly understand

Your crazy from your happy from your angry pissed off hum

And those around you will learn to understand

It's better to hum that beat your fist into a wall

Grinding plaster into sand

Hum.

A non-existent song

Just hum to get the time to move along

Just hum

Make time fly by

Just hum

I'd rather that than cry.

Just hum.

Don't need a reason why.

Just hum.

I'd rather hum than cry.

A Sad Note

Gloonies.. I'm sorry.. it appears Clara has left BTG..
We aren't sure what this means for the blogs future but.. this is possibly the end of the road. Me and Snow will talk it through..


I'm sorry.

These Tired Eyes

A pained smile
A tired laugh
She’s not okay, but she pretends to be

The quiet tears
The unheard pain
She’s quite forgotten how to be free

And through it all
She see’s the world
Through old, bent eyes

Take my hand,
Please, take my hand
And show me that you understand
Prove to me
That though it aches
It’s all gonna be okay

The smile dies
The laugh is faked
Open your eyes, hear the quiet plea

The tears poor down
The pain burns on
And all she wants is for you to see

Oh, through it all,
She see’s the world
Through old, bent eyes

Take my hand,
Please, take my hand
And show me that you understand
Prove to me
That though it aches
It’s all gonna be okay

Don’t listen to the lies in the mirror
Please believe,it will get better

Don’t listen to the lies in the mirror
Please believe,it will get better

Take my hand,
Please, take my hand
And show me that you understand
Prove to me
That though it aches
It’s all gonna be okay

Note: I may end up recording this song sometime, because I have an idea of how I want it to sound...

Broken

I guess I’m sick of the word broken

Because surely that means you can’t be fixed

And maybe my feelings can’t be spoken

But it sure would be nice to be missed…

I feel like a part of me’s crushed

blistered and ruptured and burst

So maybe I’m keeping this hushed

But I’m so sick of being hurt

There’s a sadness to my heart

A heavy feeling in my chest

I’m so scared of falling apart

And I feel life’s a constant test.

A tear’s just a tear, crying won’t help

But maybe my wounds will heal

And maybe one day, the pain that I’ve felt

Will actual make me feel real

But I guess I’m sick of the word broken

Because surely that means you can’t be fixed

And maybe my feelings can’t be spoken

Still, It sure would be nice to be missed…

Clara

(Note: This is my heartfelt apology. This is not a love song. This is me saying sorry in a not very good way to Clara. Happy snow?)

Where did Clarente start?

Was it in the pits of my broken heart.

Why wouldn't they let it go?

I loved you like a sister in the arms of a battle,

Fighting too and thro.

Did it start when we stopped being queens?

The shippers went carzy as we burst at the seams.

When the curtains closed fate was sewn.

Bandmate, sister, not lover,

We made the Fangirls choke.

I screwed up.

I made a mistake.

I'm waiting for you.

Your emails late.

I went wrong.

Said a silly little thing.

You'd make the greatest queen,

If only you could find your king.

They screamed from the side as,

We fought through their tides.

We'd battle, brains against braun.

They'd cheer us on while you mourned,

For your normal and simple life, 

Before you took on all of this strife.

You were a little defeatist,
You'd say you couldn't go on.
But even battles you lost you secretly won.
You'd put me down, keep me there.
Only cared for the cash.
What you didn't expect was,
The unstoppable crash.

I screwed up.

I made a mistake..

I'm waiting for you.

Your emails late.

I went wrong.

Said a silly little thing.

You'd make the greatest queen,

If only you could find your king.

He'd be tall, he'd be smart, he'd be wise.

He'd be posh, pretentious and he'd marvel at your eyes.

He would bow, maybe sing, he would wish you away.

Your reward, your great king, he'd be your everything.

Forgive me sister.

For word I have said.

You didn't deserve the Hell that came out my head.

Forgive me sister.

My words came out wrong.

I tried to push you away cause you're too strong..

I screwed up.

I made a mistake.

I'm waiting for you.

Your emails late.

I went wrong.

Said a silly little thing.

You'd make the greatest queen,

If only you could find your king.

If only you could find your king.

If only you could find your king.

Story Time

(Note; This song is loosely based on Niccólo (did I spell that right?) and Alastair, so keep on mind credit for some of this goes to them and Aretha. Thank you for reading.)

Well gather round kiddies and sit on my lap

Then after this story you can go have nap

I'll tattle a tale of one now grown broken

This is how the man's life became his token

Well walking in the woods one day

Heading to his house

He kissed his kid

He kissed his dog

And then he kissed his spouse

He took an axe

Went CHOP CHOP CHOP

And timber he did cry

Then in the morning

Fell to his knees

And screamed out why why why

Well gather round kiddies, do stay close

The tale will teach you well

Its the tale of how an innocent man

Was sent to hell

See not hours before this man, he met a demon name

He took it in, pushed it down, thought it was his to claim

But this name didn't sit so well with being second in command

To make his point and claim his place he forced his captures hand

Gather round kiddies, rest your heads

Soon you be sleeping in your beds

As the tale of this man now does slow

Insanity no longer his foe

See those images lay on his lids even when he looks away

And due to this the monster in his head on him did prey

This empty husk of a man now wanders, murders, sings

He'll tell the tale of his life, of the broken king

And when he's done and the story ends

On his listeners he preys

See maiming, torturing, killing kids

Is how he gets through his days.

*insane cackling*

Don't lie about the truth

I won't sing, to you,
About sweet thing whispered that no one heard.
I won't cry, to you,
And beg you for a hand or a hearse.
You'll learn, in time you'll come to see,
This is the real me,
And maybe then it won't bother meeeee.

Cause I'm a B*tch!
There ain't no other way to say it.
I'm a witch!
Ain't no other way to see me.
Cause what I truly am,
Yeah what I cruely am,
Is a B*tch!

Well maybe, it'll be easier,
When you're long gone cause,
I know that, I'm just waiting for you,
Waiting for the horrible truth to dawn.
I ain't nice,
I ain't nothing of the sort,
I'm a cold hearted, stone hearted hitch.
I'm not good,
I'm as thick as wood,
Hell maybe as think as bricks.

Cause I'm a B*tch!
There ain't no other way to say it.
I'm a witch!
Ain't no other way to see me
Cause what I truly am,
Yeah what I cruely am,
Is a B*itch!
And you can say that am lying, you can say that I'm crying wolf.
But I'm a B*tch!

I'm a B*tch!
I'm a B*tch!
I ain't gonna lie now,
I ain't, ain't gonna cry now
I'm a B*tch!
Ain't gonna hide,
Let the rules subside, let the rules subside.
We both know it soooooooo..
I'm a B*tch.

Mini/final version!

Its done. Well, correction, a mini version. I don't think we're allowed to finish it. 

Stupid school.

So here's the outside.

Won't lie, I'm quite proud of it. It wasn't really that hard, except for the type of font and what colour to use..anyway. 

Inside.

The  CD would go over Clara's face. A booklet would have gone in the wallet under Snow's face. Sorry that your hair is too light Snow, I wasn't allowed to use paint and Photoshop confused me. 

The picture is a little blurry. This is the back cover of it with the track list.

And this is the front.

I haven't managed to do a booklet or disk. Sorry.

Lying through grit teeth (Your compliments cause grief)

(I would like to point out, this song does not represent my current emotional state, it is merely something that my head wanted to say.)

Call me your li-ttle, mir-a-cle, wor-ker,

The one you trust with all-of your lies.

Call me your saint raised-by the de-vil,

Who's ev-il hides deep inside.

Tell me it's worth the pain.

That standing tall willl help you.

And if its all the same,

I think I'd rather have have dealt with you.

Well call me your saviour!

Take my hand.

Only when we've fallen,

Will we learn how to stand.

Call me a monster!

Throw me away.

Just dont beg me to say,

At the end of the day,

That everything,

Is A-Okay.

I can watch you grow, watch you a-dapt.
Watch the changed some would say.
I could watch your eyes fill with so-rrow.
Help you then send you on your way.
I've only got one heart for you to break.
Only got two hands for you to take.
I'll be by your side and all will be right.
As we're tearing through the night.

Well call me your saviour!
Take my hand.
Only when we've fallen,
Will we learn how to stand.
Call me a monster!
Throw me away.
Just don't beg me to say,
At the end of the day,
That everything,
Is A-Okay.

Well valleys in my skin.
(Can you hearing the clock ticking?)
And poison in my mind.
(How can't you see it are you blind?)
Looking out for you, I know.
(Let it no let it go.)
Risking mine to save your soul.
(And I'll slowly lose control.)

*spoken*
Well call..call me your, saviour.
And take, take my hand.
So many..many times I have fallen.
But still, I wait, to land!

*singing*
Well call me your saviour.
Take my hand!
Only when we've fallen,
Will we learn how to stand.
Call me a monster!
Throw me away.
Just dont beg me to
Beg me to say,
(Call me your saviour)
At the end of the day,
(Take my hand)
That everything,
(Now I've fallen)
Is A-
(I'll take my stand)
Is A-Okay.
