Saints of Spain

I am Patrick the Conqueror. Just me and my acoustic, making music out of poems and whatever happens to be lying around, recording it in a single take through my phone because alcohol and cigarettes are far more important than proper gear. EP in the works (about half done), bandcamp set up, and it'll be available soon (hopefully). Personal blog: Cafe of the Damned

New song, freshly written.

Now it'll age for a week or so as I wait to record it...

Virginia Jones

the sun is shining in my eyes, the stars are twinkling in the sky, i’m still full of all your lies, Virginia.

the birds are barking in the trees, your voice has swept me off my feet, your scent’s around me on the breeze, Virginia.

when are you coming home, i miss you and i’m all alone, you haven’t been picking up your phone, please come home, Miss Virginia Jones.

i can’t take you from my head, the leaves on the trees are turning red, the sun is headed for it’s death, Virginia.

my bones ache from the winter’s cold, i still see your tracks in the snow, i’m still wondering where’d you go, Virginia.

when are you coming home, i miss you and i’m all alone, you haven’t been picking up your phone, please come home, Miss Virginia Jones.

RANDOM UPDATE ATTACK! LIKE A MOTHERFUCKING NINJA!

I hate everything.

But!

But!

I have five different lyrics written and in the process of finalization, two that already have music attached to them, and a few others that I'm working on...

So!

I may be able to record tomorrow and get a new one up.

Also, I should be getting a proper mic soon! Yippee!

Also also, I don't have anything else to say!

New song 3/4ths done.

It's about how much it sucks to be a super hero.

Hell yeah.

Help me, Mr. Johnston

Help me, Mr. Johnston, I need your ladder again. My cat's stuck in a tree And my wife's with another man. Dogs are barking around the trunk, And she's too scared to get down. I'm so glad that I saw her, But she sure don't want to be found.

Help me, Mr. Johnston, Do you have a hose to borrow? I promise you, I really do, I'll give it back tomorrow. I got to spray the dogs around the trunk So they'll go home. And while I'm up the ladder, I might stick it through my window.

Help me, Mr. Johnston, I need a place to stay, My wife won't let me back in After what I did today, I saw them while I was up the tree, Getting into bed, I sprayed them with the hose, Then threw the cat right at her head.

Help me, Mr. Johnston

Postal Service - Such Great Heights (Saints of Spain cover)

Another cover because I don't feel like recording my own shit right now. For some reason I'm having major trouble with it.

The perks of being a lofi solo artist, I guess :P

Fischer's Chirp

I can still remember The day that I first met you on the porch of my grandma’s house. The house was empty, everything’s for sale on the lawn.

I still remember The day that I ran into you strolling down the Sunday Street, Humming along to Parenthetical Girls under your breath.

I told you that I loved you And you just looked away

It has to be a crime that the only way I cry Is sitting up on Fiddler’s Reach, my Fischer’s next to me, Chirping away, all the day, Like nothing bothers me, So I lie down and go to sleep.

I still remember That trip we took to Twin peaks, Staring at the beauty of the sea. You started quoting Wilde, I swear it’s just to tease me, Pulling at my heartstrings.

I told you that I loved you And you just looked away 

It has to be a crime that the only way I cry Is sitting up on Fiddler’s Reach, my Fischer’s next to me, Chirping away, all the day, Like nothing bothers me, So I lie down and go to sleep.

EP in the works.

Like I said on my personal blog, the EP is about halfway finished (3 of 6ish songs done) and hopefully I can get it up on bandcamp in a week or so.

Currently working on cover art as everyone is home and there's nowhere quiet to record.

Boobies.
