Get Outta My Head
(Re-posted, now that the song is complete.)
You snuck in like a criminal invading my thoughts
My wildest fantasy, I was tied up in knots
Now you’re just an earworm taking space in my brain
Your constant existence brings me nothing but pain
Hey! Let me go, get out of my head
You’re killing me
You’re making me
You’re driving me
Crazy
Hey! Let me go, this obsession is dead
You’re killing me
You’re making me
You’re driving me
Crazy
When did I say you could stay here rent free?
I was out of my mind when I gave you that key
You turned up the charm, I was caught in your snare
Now you just won’t shut up, it’s a bloody nightmare
Those words that you said made me weak in the knees
Now you’re lodged in my heart like some kind of disease
Your grip is tenacious, of that there’s no doubt
Well, time’s up, you demon, I’m casting you out
Hey! Let me go, get out of my head
You’re killing me
You’re making me
You’re driving me
Crazy
Hey! Let me go, this obsession is dead
You’re killing me
You’re making me

This bluesy-rock track inspired me to write the lyrics, then I put them together. Music by an awesome one-man band @artcarcass on bandlab.com
Sorry for the repost but I hope you enjoy!

Awesome! You have a good voice for this I think and the sound is clean and professional. My audios have a lot of background noise and rising and dropping sound levels. Does bandlab.com sell license on music for limited use?

You'd have to look at their terms, but as far as I understand it, if someone puts music out there that's "forkable" (meaning other people can access the studio version and add on to it), it's free to modify & use. I've never paid for anything I've used. But, I also am already connected & have relationships with the people whose music I use (it works much like DUP). You should definitely check it out!
And, thanks for listening. 😎

Ah right on appreciate the heads up, I know a bit about limited free license on the websites I am already using and occasionally I pay a small purchase fee for use on some sites.

Hoi hoi
Good thing you took the trouble to repost.
The first version escaped my attention. And that’s a pity.
This is exactly what I do with my poems/lyrics: put them to music. And that more often than not, gives the words a whole new life.
All my cooperations (collaborations) are done this way, but with lyrics by someone (often DUP’ers) else.
I like this a lot!
Kind regards, Gus

Hi Gus! I checked out some of your songs... great stuff!
I do a lot of singing - mostly covers - but I especially love when I'm able write my own lyrics. I can't force or predict it, though... it just happens when a piece of music hits the right way at the right time. Wish I could compose my own music tracks, but somehow that still eludes me. Someday...
Thanks for stopping by! I have other songs scattered in through my poetry, should you ever wish to look.
Cheers,
❤️k

Thank you for the compliments. And yes, I’ll be browsing your stuff for another earful of happiness!
Kind regards, Gus
Edit:
What you hear when listening to my music, is the process of writing.
I push the record button and play what I think the song needs.
Nomistakes are repaired. Hence the slightly sloppy result.
But I think it’s magic.
At 6pm there’s nothing, at 7.30 the song is finished. Warts and all.
Maybe this procedure it something for you?
