A musical-documenting of a horrific event in World War 2 contrasting an almost smug American announcement of the bombing of Hiroshima with the more factual and solemn descriptions by a radio announcer later. Set to my original music which is suitably dark in feel and tone. I play all guitars, bass and keyboards plus all drums painstakingly created in BFD3.
Rock based Music
These are Snowdune songs in the rock or alternative category, some are solo projects and some (where specified) are collaborations.
This Time is Ours
A dark, atmospheric electro track with reggae overtones produced and played by Andy & Bri, written by Bri, Andy, Leigh Dawson with lyrics and vocals by Mat Hume.
The track began several years ago as an instrumental tune started by Bri and Lee which I put bass to. Years later Snowdune have created this version which is very different to the original, especially with the addition of trance percussion and dark synths.
Mat came down twice and created vocals by improvising to the track, which at that time sounded very different to how it does now. Mat sang, “stream of consciousness style” and I later chopped the vocal tracks up, swapped them around, used something from every track he sang and even created backing vocals from different takes.
Sharp Instrument (rough demo)
This is a very rough proof of concept demo I’ve done in a few hours created around my bass lines (which may now need changing a bit) and with me playing guitars in one take. I have full lyrics and chorus adapted from one of my poems. I just need someone with the right voice so I can finish it. It’s got almost classic rock lyrics, would suit a Ronnie James Dio, Ozzy Osborne type voice or just someone with a strong voice and good range to be able to give it what it needs. The chorus is quite catchy.
It might seem a bit repetitive without the lyrics, I did put some down myself, and would love to show you how it goes but they are way too awful to leave on in a public place.
Lyrics
He wields it like a broadsword
and with a pompous pride
Assumes he has a moral right
to have it by his side
He worships all it stands for
a simple devotee
And if it hurts, and causes pain
It’s not his fault
It’s not his fault
Truth can hurt sometimes
It never ever alters
In battle it won’t yield
When using it in his defence
it makes an awesome shield
He even stabs his friends with it
which causes them to flee
But when it wounds and hurts them
It’s not his fault
It’s not his fault
Truth can hurt
Truth can hurt sometimes
At times it hurts us all
but it is always right
It doesn’t weep for casualties
It’s righteous in its fight
He trusts that it will never lie
There’s nothing with more dignity
So when it causes suffering
It’s not his fault
It’s not his fault
Truth can hurt
Truth can hurt sometimes
Middle 8 (possible vocals or even short rap)
Truth can hurt
Truth can hurt sometimes
Truth can hurt
Truth can hurt sometimes

Could your voice suit this track?
Remember this is a rough demo, with all parts including drums to be re-recorded to much higher standard once I have the right singer. Contact me if you have a good rock voice and range and would like to collaborate. Check out more Snowdune songs needing vocalist
Give In To Me (rough demo)
This is a rock track with a bluesy feel, which has full lyrics and vocal melody but no singer yet. It features Bri Littlehales on guitars and a great blues riff guitar track from Steve Cosgrove which I’ve cut and rearranged extensively so I’ll need to get him to re-record everything too. It’s also got a synth middle 8 which some say reminds them of Devo.
This song needs parts re-recording but is structurally solid, and just waiting for the right singer. I’m thinking a rock singer with a bluesy feel. Someone with a bit of character in the voice, maybe even a little gravely.
Lyrics
The lyrics can come across as one thing, but on closer listening there’s something sinister and threatening.
Give In To Me
I’ve seen your look
the way that your eyes fall on me
The smile on your face
I know it was just meant for me
I want your love
I’m gonna make you give in to me
There’s no use in fighting
just let it come naturally
Chorus
Can’t you see what I need?
Come on give in to me
Without your love I can’t go on
Give in to me
This time I know it won’t go wrong
Give in to me
This could be the last chance that I have
Don’t..
Don’t push me away
I need your love
You’d better pay attention to me
The voice inside my head
tells me we are meant to be
Chorus
Can’t you see what I need?
Come on give in to me
Without your love I can’t go on
Give in to me
This time I know it won’t go wrong
Give in to me
This could be the last chance that I have
Don’t..
Don’t push me away
(Middle 8)
Can’t you see what I need?
Come on give in to me
Without your love I can’t go on
Give in to me
If I have your love I can’t go wrong
Give in to me
When I get your love I will grow strong
Give in to me
Give in to me
Could your voice suit this track?
