I was mortified to discover, when visiting a friend the other day, that many of the mixes in my music videos sounded terrible on his computer.

GASP!

I am getting better at mixing, but the equipment I'm working with is antiquated, and I currently have no way of listening back on more modern devices. So I've decided to hold off on making any more complicated mixes for now, until I can afford more up to date equipment.

In the meantime, though I can't go back and edit the posts with the offending mixes, I fixed the mixes as best I could and reuploaded them to Youtube, and am posting them here in a group. Some of these sound waaaaay better than those originally posted (on my laptop at least...), so I thought it would be worth sharing them :)

Something Awful

You're always gonna be that thing I want but can never truly have
And any tiny taste I take I know I'm being bad
Any little taste we take only makes us sad
But it's better than nothing
Better than nothing

So turn to me with that hungry hurt look in your eyes
We have gone so far beyond taking comfort in lies
But to feel my fingers on your skin one more time
Is better than nothing
It's better than nothing

And I love the taste of you
So I'll taste you 'til there's nothing left
I'll hold you to my body
Like a smoker with a cigarette
A junkie with a needle
I'll take what I can get
I don't need you
But I want you
Something awful

Something Awful

And if you leave today who knows when you'll be coming back?
It could be never and who wants that?
The drape of your hair, the quirk of your lips, only your eyes laugh
But it's better than nothing
It's better than nothing

'Cause I love the taste of you
So I'll taste you 'til there's nothing left
I'll hold you to my body
Like a smoker with a cigarette
A junkie with a needle
I'll take what I can get
I don't need you
But I want you
Something awful

Something awful

Skeletal Umbrella

Skeletal umbrella just the bare bones
And the rain keeps falling the rain keeps falling
This spiderweb just scatters crystal drops round
And the rain keeps falling the rain keeps falling

So underdeveloped so overexposed
She shines in the limelight
All eyes on her
Stargirl
Do as you're told
And it'll be alright
A priestess must never be

Touched by tears
That Heaven cries
Paper thin
These alibis
Paper money paper dolls
Paper hearts and paper souls
All melt away when the rain comes

Skeletal umbrella just the bare bones
And the rain keeps falling the rain keeps falling
It's casting shadows all around your mind now
And the rain keeps falling the rain keeps falling

And it looked so good on paper when he got
The offer he couldn't kill
What choice did he have
After all?
His life in their pockets
Now he's left standing naked

In these tears
That Heaven cries
Paper thin
His alibis
Paper money paper dolls
Paper hearts and paper souls
All melt away when the rain comes

So never let them say you're too far gone
That they own your soul now
It's just the same old tired Prince of Lies
He speaks with many mouths
All you feelers
healers
Take these tears that Heaven cries
Hold on tight and say goodbye
To paper money paper dolls
Paper hearts and paper souls
All melt away when the rain comes
All melt away when the rain comes

When the rain comes

Tangled

Red threads tangled in every direction
So caught up in your quest for perfection
But any one of these
Could take you where you need

So don't second guess
'Til there's nothing left
'Til there's nothing

Oh! Sweet distraction could she be the one
Pulling at your heartstrings 'til they come undone
You could just let it bleed
And follow where it leads

Or you could second guess
'Til there's nothing left
'Til there's nothing

This is the time this is the place
Don't know her name but you've seen her face
Don't know what she does, but you see who she is
So if you want to talk to her
You know you have no time to waste
If there is such a thing as fate
It comes hand in hand
With actions taken
Don't wait

If you could let these knots unravel
Just think of the distances you might travel
Oh and any one of these
Could take you where you need

So don't second guess
'Til there's nothing left
'Til there's nothing

This is the time this is the place
Don't know her name but you've seen her face
Don't know what she does, but you see what she is
So if you want to talk to her
You know you have no time to waste
If there is such a thing as fate
It comes hand in hand
With actions taken
Don't wait

And the echoes go on and on
When you say what you want
So dream with your eyes
Open wide
'Cause there is no time
There is no time
Like this time

Oh this is the time this is the place
Don't know her name but you've seen her face
Don't know what she does, but you see who she is
So if you want to talk to her
You know you have no time to waste
If there is such a thing as fate
It comes hand in hand
With actions taken
Don't wait

And the echoes go on and on
When you say what you want
So dream with your eyes
Open wide
'Cause there is no time
There is no time
Like this time

On and on and on and on and on

'Til We Meet Again

'Til we meet again said the superheroine
To her arch-nemesis who blew her a kiss
And sped away
To dream up more mischief

'Til we meet again
'Til we meet again
In another life we might have been friends

'Til we meet again
'Til we meet again
To discover whether this is a beginning or an end

They say people never change but we don't care what they say
We hope for the best as we get undressed
And in the morning
Eyes wide open
We walk away

'Til we meet again
'Til we meet again
In another life we might have been friends

'Til we meet again
'Til we meet again
To discover whether this is a beginning or an end

You say you don't believe in ghosts so you don't hear them when they say
We were here tomorrow and we'll be here yesterday
You say you don't believe in ghosts so you don't hear them when they say
We were here tomorrow and we'll be here yesterday
And how many little deaths will it take?
How many laps 'round that fiery lake?
I need you I want you I won't let you go
Oh these are just things we say for show

Until we meet again
'Til we meet again
In another life we might have been friends

'Til we meet again
'Til we meet again
To discover whether this is a beginning or an end

You say you don't believe in ghosts so you don't hear them when they say
We were here tomorrow and we'll be here yesterday
