PAUL BROWN Wow - what a powerful song. It makes want to cry. Having been ill for a few years I have had plenty of time to think these thoughts. So much talent. Favorite track: MINOR KEY - DEMO.

mondaydrunk I cannot get enough of this track. Not quite two minutes of perfection. This is a "demo", but it'd be the best track on 99% of albums released recently.

gingergroov Du Blonde is the best! I have this song on repeat and I love how the lyrics wrap around from line to line. Every one of the 99 seconds is perfect. (99 seconds? Is that deliberate?) Everyone should buy it.

I guess you got what you wanted You called me a bitch in the street And well I guess I might have deserved it But I'm getting back on my feet and I am Complicated at best I'm a live wire attached to your chest and I'm growing and learning the lay of your land I feel like I'm unimportant When you call up and change the plan Waiting til the very last minute To say I'm in love with someone who is Complicated at best You're a live wire attached to my chest and you're growing and learning the lay of my land I've got something to say And it's been on my mind quite a while I don't know when I last heard you laughing And I can't remember your smile cos we are Complicated at best We are live wires igniting the nest And I just want to lay in the basement alone Yeah we are complicated at best We are live wires igniting the nest And I just want to lay in the basement alone lay in the basement alone lay in the basement alone

G Take it down I’m coming C I want my order even G C If I’m the last bitch in the bar Em I wanna see some sorrows D C Drowning out the screams that I still hear D G They gasp for air but once I’m done I’ll never hear from them again G I’ll tell you bout the worst thing C That ever happened to me G C You’ll feel so sick you’ll wanna cry Em D C At least for you it’s just a story one or two chapters too long D G If I could cut it down then just maybe I wouldn’t wanna die G C Em If I could sleep a little while B7 C G D You know that I would love to try and keep this body the upswing G C Em If I could fake another smile B7 C G D You know that I would love to try and keep this body on the upswing G Turn the pages corner C Each time you feel it coming G C The thunder of another night Em D C Coming so thick it sticks to everything you wish you could have said D but never can now that the mornings come G to bathe you in it’s light G Another smoke and tell me C You’re leaving on the exhale G C And you’ll be gone once that shit clears Em D And out the window see the traffic start to shake C D just like your vision is a wave that peaks before the drugs G take away the fear G C Em If I could sleep a little while B7 C G D You know that I would love to try and keep this body the upswing G C Em If I could fake another smile B7 C G D You know that I would love to try and keep this body on the upswing G Tonight

I’m trying to be Something from nothing Are you proud of me? When it’s late night I’m wiping The diner seat And the bell on the door’s ringing Over and over In a minor key And I’m looking for something In the faces of these Pictures that hang like Abandoned keys To a world that I’ve dreamed of But I’ve never seen With my own eyes I’m tired And I’m starting to lean Best believe that life is only what you make it on your own It’s getting hard and it gets harder You walk it back and think that maybe you should have done something more And then you might have gotten farther You’re such a disease You’re dressing for sunday It’s a hundred degrees There’s a jam on the freeway And the city sleaze Is gonna sell you a new dream For the price of a knee In your back til you’re working At 63 And you try to remember All the dreams you let die Getting drunk on the weekends While life you passes by And all the people that you see Out the window below Are praying hard for a break Before the end of the show Best believe that life is only what you make it on your own It’s getting hard and it gets harder You walk it back and think that maybe you should have done something more And then you might have gotten farther You didn’t make it on tv Or learn how to drive And it takes almost dying To make you feel alive And you’re overdrafts growing Some limbs of it’s own And the workday is endless And you wanna go home To the couch that remembers The shape of your thighs And you watch as your friends Lose the fight in their eyes When the target’s so small You know it’s easy to miss I guess it’s ok to fail when Everyone else is Best believe that life is only what you make it on your own It’s getting hard and it gets harder You walk it back and think that maybe you should have done something more And then you might have gotten farther I’m trying to be Something from nothing Are you proud of me? When it’s late night I’m wiping The diner seat And the bell on the door’s ringing Over and over In a minor key

Sorry I’m barely here I’m not sleeping much and I’m just Feeling so tired all the time Like a moth to a flame I can’t close my eyes and I’m just Feeling so tired all the time So tired Yeah I’m feeling so tired all the time And it’s not a good feeling Yeah it’s not a good feeling Feeling so tired all the time And I’m feeling so tired all the time And it’s not a good feeling No it’s not a good feeling Feeling tired all the time Look at me look at you Wondering what you do to stop Feeling so tired all the time I’m a mess can’t think straight My heads a ten tonne weight I’m feeling so tired all the time So tired Yeah I’m feeling so tired all the time And it’s not a good feeling Yeah it’s not a good feeling Feeling so tired all the time And I’m feeling so tired all the time And it’s not a good feeling No it’s not a good feeling Feeling tired all the time

about

d_e_m_o_s is a new and ongoing project by Du Blonde where, alongside her regular albums, she will drop tracks unintended for professional release. These will include demos, unreleased tracks, instrumentals, experiments and more.

The idea for 'd_e_m_o_s' came about after a period of illness in which Du Blonde found herself becoming too much of a perfectionist to complete projects. In order to get back to the place of fun and spontaneity she had experienced at the beginning of her career, she decided releasing unfinished tracks, recorded, mixed and mastered in a matter of days, would bring her relationship with creating music back to a more grounded and light hearted place.

All tracks are written, recorded, engineered, mixed and mastered by Du Blonde.
