Yesterday

A comment on what we know of our history written in a lord of the rings-ish folk style song.

A youngsters cry
Can awaken soul
Eyes open wide
And see truths untold
Unravel lies
And the truth unfolds
Soon realize
What we lost in the times of old

A great fee
Do we pay
For what we forgot
What we lost, yesterday

A mountain climb
To reach the peak
To hear the wise
And the truths they speak
A new sunrise
But the day is bleak
What they hide
Keeps us weak

A great fee
Do we pay
For what we forgot
What we lost, yesterday

Unleash your pride
There is wisdom to seek
The greats have died
And what they teach
Look to the sky
You're incomplete
But we can find
What this all means

A great fee
Do we pay
For what we forgot
What we lost, yesterday

Two Voices

Two Voices is a look into the artist's deteriorating mental state, and what is going on in her mind during this time. The message comes at a time when mental health is a large topic of discussion, and highlights the importance of taking care of yourself.

Finished

By Rupert Webb

This is a very rhythmic song. Probably R&B or EDM of some sort. It's clearly sung by a girl and explains why her man's treachery and lies has led to his being dumped. I could probably extend the chorus part if needed by adding more reprisals. It's very tongue in cheek and would easily support a rap part in the middle too.
