Deepest Depths Sang

Whilst recording a demo for Deepest Depths Sang, a friendly cockatoo decided to land on my balcony and lend me a hand with the vocals.

The Glacier I Sleep Inside

 

another rough demo for the upcoming album. This one is about the glacier I sleep inside

I'm just a broken piece of fish - Jam with Will Colvin

I started jamming on this riff and suggested we record a video. Colvin busts out some excellent improvised lyrics. “I’m just a broken piece of fish” is my personal favourite.
 

demos from Three Rings and Ten Moons

When I make new songs I usually noodle around on my guitar a bit before eventually finding a riff that I like. Then I write some lyrics to match that riff and try to sing them in a matching vocal melody. After I've written some lyrics I'll often record a video of the newly written riff and vocal melody so that I don't forget it. Kinda like a visual diary of little song ideas.

I've decided to post 2 videos of the early creation of 2 songs from my new, upcoming album Three Rings And Ten Moons.

These videos are very raw and they show what a new song looks like when it's being freshly figured out. The songs have been developed a lot since they were originally created and you'll hear them in full on my upcoming release.

The new album is coming

 

Working on my new album. I have all the songs finished. There are 13 in total. The album will be titled "Three Rings and Ten Moons."

1. Three Rings and Ten Moons

2. Name Blotted Out Forever

3. Darkness Shines

4. Hidden Sun

5. Omen of Short Days and Short Years

6. Deepest Depths Sang

7. Unlaced

8. Descend Beneath The Moon

9. The Glacier I Sleep Inside

10. On Saturday

11. Where Grey Clouds Pass Me By

12. Church of Fish

13. Pisces is Leviathan 

It will be similar to the first half of my previous album Lord of Circles. Mostly acoustic guitar ballads and soundscapes.

Artist Management

My talented friend Will Colvin has started a new record label called Safeword HQ which will nurture creative talent in the Sydney music scene.

Will has enlisted me as Artist Manager, in a role where he will pay me to manage a suite of artists who are attached to the Safeword HQ label. I will also be likely releasing future Paneye music on this label.

Please check out the website and show your support: Safeword HQ

https://safewordhq.com/safeword-hq

Here's some of Will Colvin's music when he was performing as Hedgefund:

(Demo) Where Grey Clouds Pass Me By - Paneye

I don't know why

You continue to creep on my mind

By the full moon's cliffside 

I walk the dark coastline

I climbed the mountain

Then you died

I live in the sky

Where grey clouds pass me by

Mumble - collab with Teunis

Thanks for the support!

Since this blog's humble beginnings in 2009 I have recently experienced a huge spike in views and engagement. I want to thank all of you who have viewed, listened to and purchased my art and music.

According to my stats page (posted below) I am regularly clocking in over 2K individual views every month. My all time views are now up to 122K.

Just phenomenal. Honestly, artists don't like to admit it but we are hugely spurred on by knowing that we have an audience of people that appreciate our work. Thanks all! It encourages me to produce more art and music into the future.

Jay Squire plays guitar with me on Track 14

All recorded on Duxford Street in Paddington, Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains and Ocean Street in Edgecliff, Sydney 2018-2020

I'm happy to write that I've collaborated with my old friend Jesse Donald (Jay Squire) on track 14 of this album. The song is called Emanate From Emanations. We used to play guitar together a lot back at Art School and it was nice to strum together again with my old friend.

I hope you'll enjoy the relaxing, melancholic tunes on Lord of Circles. I found making this album very cathartic. 

Lord of Circles can be listened to for free, or purchased at this link:

I've included a few track previews from the album below:

  

  Wishing Will Not Help

   

  Vestige Of What We Were

  

  Eaten By Birds

   

     Lord of Circles

     

Lyrics

~

Eaten By Birds

Some caterpillars become

Butterflies

Some caterpillars become

Eaten by birds

~

Wishing Will Not Help

Will I

Ever

See you again

And can I

Hold you

Once more 

Before

The end

No

And wishing won't help that

I'd do anything

To go back in time

And be with you

I'm trapped with your ghost

In a photograph

And there's nothing I can do

~

Lord of Circles

I drift in a cold sea

Your hand written notes

Hang on ropes above me

I can not reach them

and I'll never read

About a future

Where you'll be

And I've got to live

With my regret now

And I've got to see

The journey through

And you'll always be

A part of me

And I'll miss you

So I'll move on

Reluctantly

The leaves on our tree

Have turned to brown

And they've fallen

To the ground

I don't want to leave

But I have to break free

Of this sad prison of memories

~

As I Wake

When the wind whistles through the chimes

I long for you

As I walk along the railway lines

I think of you

As I close my eyes 

As I

Lie on the pipes

I dream of you

And then I sigh

As I wake

And have to face a life

That you escaped

~

That Glimpse of Truth

That glimpse of truth

I hate to see

Maybe you needed

To set me free

I was under 

Your dark spell

A beautiful swamp

A comfortable hell

That glimpse of truth

I hate to see

Maybe you needed

To let me be

I was searching inside of you

Hallucinations

Where foolish hope once grew

~

The Hexe I Deserved

You cursed me with

A Hexe that I deserved

I hurt you

Now I'm pecked

By birds of regret

In sad dreams

When I see

What we

Could have been

~

Killing The Most Beautiful Thing I Ever Had

I killed the most beautiful thing

I ever had

We had our own little world

It's now turned to stone and sand

And I'm sad

~

Ketamine To Forget You

Ket

To

Forget

You

~

Vestige Of What We Were

We had a good thing

But I let it dissolve

Before my eyes

I watched you cry

I let you drown

I watched us slowly die

I sat in my chair

And I stared deep down

Into my glass pipe

I watched you cry

And I let you drown

I watched us slowly die

~

Life Is But A Fleeting Vapour

Life is

But a

Fleeting

Vapour

~

Year of Loss

All that I was 

Is no more

A year of loss

Has ended

With a closed door

I became a shade

Of what I was

You took no pity

sitting coldly above

You wanted me 

To destroy myself

And leave me

Forgotten

On an old shelf

One day I will walk to our waterfall

And remember that fine Sunday

When we had it all

Before us

It's now 

Moss

And 

Dust

Mind Forests

Old trails of pain
Through forests in our mind
Become well-worn
And ingrained with time.

To make new trails
Towards hope that's sublime
The trees must be parted
So new paths can wind

Do not tread the old trails
Leave the memories behind
They become overgrown
In the forests of time.

Horizontal Waterfalls

Here's an old collaboration from 2009 called Horizontal Waterfalls

When I walk all night and I sleep all day

Desertism lyrics

Eyelid Temples

Temples in your eyes
Revealing all of our wide, broken time



I Stumbled Upon Her Ruins

I stumbled upon her ruins
tiny cities in the dew on her cheeks

I stumbled upon her ruins
her private towns that she let me see
that she let only me see

I knew her for just a little while
But I knew her for what seemed like eternity



Watched By Every Gloom

Come along to apartment 815
I'm marooned in the sky

Watched by every gloom
Caressed by every sigh




Passports To Overcast Island

Passports to overcast islands
she's roaming, and I know that she'll find him
she's crying, and I know she'll unwind me

Set her memories free on the clifftop's craggy breeze




Visited By Murky Windings

Visited by the murk
my shirt hasn't been washed in days

Visted by the murk
time ticks on in my swampy maze

Winding on
it was labyrinthine all along

Winding on
you were here, now you're gone



Disfigured Fortune

Disfigured fortune comes my way
when I walk all night
and I sleep all day



Empty Boats And The Vortex

Where do you sail?


Fragile Awe

I saw
your fragile awe
in my empty claws

I saw
your fragile awe
on my dusty floor
