Protis feat. Jaylee - Skinny Love (Bon Iver live cover)

What If (co-written with Chasing The Last Train) This is an original song that I co-wrote with a ... read moremember of a music collaboration site called SongwriterLink. "Chasing The Last Train" initially contacted me on there in mid-2021 about working on a song together. We started chatting and she sent me some lyrics that she thought I would like. As soon as I read through them, I just knew we were on to a winner! We exchanged email addresses and then got to work on the song. "Chasing" is a fantastic lyricist as it turns out, with only a few tweaks required to what she sent me. We decided that a piano ballad was definitely the way to go with this sombre number. I played the piano part and sang the lead vocal, as well as taking care of the audio production side of things. The backing vocals were provided by a lady from Copenhagen called "Dizzy Lizzy." She did a wonderful job too! "Chasing" also made the lyric video, and this just so happens to be her first ever full song! I look forward to co-writing many more songs with her in future.

Originally recorded in 1998 using Cubase Lite at Kenmore State High School. Amended in 2013 using Cubase VST. This is the song that pretty much started it all for me as an artist. It was written for a high school musical that was in the preliminary stages at the time. The song's title refers to the twelve years of schooling. Unfortunately, this version of the song didn't end up making it into that musical (which would become Teenstars), although another track of the same name did.

Originally recorded in November 2000 using Cubase VST. Amended in July 2013 using the same software. The reason I did this was in order for it to be suitable for release. All of my instrumental works have utilised my trusty Technics SX-KN930 keyboard, which I purchased in September 1999. These days I like to refer to it as my "Synthetic Orchestra".

Originally recorded in 1999 using Cubase VST at Kenmore State High School. Amended in October 2013 using FL Studio. The timing was all over the place in the original version of this one as well. I renamed this song from the old title of SeaChange, which was an Australian TV series. This new version of the song removes the seashore sound effect, hence the change of title.

Originally recorded in August 2000 using Cubase VST. Amended in October 2013 using FL Studio. This is a remixed and stripped-back version when compared to the original track. I felt the one done in 2000 had too much instrumentation in it, and the timing was all over the place.

Written in 1999 in the music block at my high school. I remember I'd spend some lunch times in there working on my music. This was from a time in my life when I was composing "five-minute epics", as I would tend to call them. A few of my uploads from back then are at least five minutes in length. I am able to create shorter songs, but i just had so many ideas that I wanted to include.

Written in May 2004. At the time I really couldn't think of a name for it, so in the end I chose "My Currently Untitled Work". To this day, I still can't think of a proper name for it! I'm sure I'm not the only one who has called a song of theirs "Untitled."

I wrote this song while I was undertaking work experience at the SAE Technology College in 1998. This recording has been digitised from an audio cassette, so the sound quality is noticeably different from that of more modern songs. I used Cubase Lite and a sound module known as Proteus. This is actually two separate ideas combined into one. It sort of sounds like a "demo" track, hence the song title.

Recorded in July 2000 using Cubase VST. This is one of my all-time favourite instrumental recordings that I have done. I just love how the song opens, and it gradually builds throughout.

Recorded in May 2000 using Cubase VST and my Technics SX-KN930 keyboard. This song originally had a different melody, but I chose to change it.

I wrote my first techno song while I was undertaking work experience at the SAE Technology College in 1998. This recording has been digitised from an audio cassette, so the sound quality is noticeably different from that of more modern songs. I used Cubase Lite and a sound module known as Proteus.

I recorded this original in July 2004 using Cubase VST and Sony's ACID software. I wrote the song about one of my workmates at the time. It was going to describe what it would be like if this person were a superhero, but then I decided to see how much I knew about her.

This was written and recorded in November 2004 using FL Studio. In my opinion, it's the best completely original work that I have created. The song is basically about the act of writing songs.

Originally recorded in November 2000 using Cubase VST. This song was extensively amended in July 2013 using the same software. The old recording sounded suspiciously like the Dire Straits song "Sultans Of Swing", so I went about changing the melody and a few other things. This new version is also shorter than the old one, which was a "five-minute epic" that I mentioned previously.

(spoken) This song is about the fear of becoming an artist who has only one really popular song to his name. I am of course talking about the one hit wonder. ONE HIT WONDER - by Protis VERSE 1 I had only written one song And it was one of my best Maybe I should have written more But it can be such a pest I have often been called a slacker Although that is far from the truth You see it's so hard to come up with lyrics That sound good and warrant the proof CHORUS I don't wanna be a one hit wonder Who only makes the very odd gem The Monkees, The Knack and Los Del Rio I must have more hits than them Oh sure I have written a whole heap of stuff But those were just wordless drivel I feel the need to challenge myself And perhaps to stop being so trivial VERSE 2 It can be a fragile existence What with only having one hit song Such criticism from the outside world Why don't you just go smoke some bongs? So that is my main motivation In penning this epic for you To show that I am so much more Than one-dimensional doggie do. CHORUS (spoken) Right, so I guess by the end of this I'll be a two hit wonder then, huh? Or maybe I should just sing the chorus again, maybe that'll help... Not everything can be the quality of SuperJaye, you know! STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Verse 3 Now you must stop being so silly And aiming the blame at yourself You know how hard it is to write a song Just well enough so it sells. Geez man, just lighten up a bit eh Because everyone's lovin' your shit One day you will be on top of the world So you had better put a sock in it! CHORUS 2 There's no way you'll be a one hit wonder As you will have so many gems The Monkees, The Knack and Los Del Rio You will have more hits than them Ok so you have written a whole heap of stuff But those rocked man, they really did You've already challenged yourself so much And you'll never go down on the skids (spoken) Wow, I feel a lot better. Thanks... me!

I start to think aloud as Mum opens the door Don't give me mashed potatoes What can I do, I can't eat no more I don't like mashed potatoes Just get 'em off my plate now, and put 'em down the drain Do it super quick now, they're driving me insane Won't somebody help me, and make 'em go away Carson Kressley eats 'em, and after all he's gay Will it ever end now, it's too much for my brain Anxiety has sunk in, I look on in disdain As Mum makes me eat more Bad bad bad bad bad, bad bad bad bad Don't gimme mashed potatoes Bad bad bad bad bad, bad bad bad bad Please no more mashed potatoes Bad bad bad bad bad, bad bad bad bad Can't stand the mashed potatoes Bad bad bad bad bad, bad bad bad bad Not bloody mashed potatoes
