Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Piano, Background Singer.ABOUT
***My cont@ct info is in my first image***
I write and record music. Love a lot of stuff. I like authentic sounding indie rock, pop rock, punk, emo, some country..anything with real instruments. Although i'm really not into heavy music. I love songs that convey feelings and make you feel like the song knows you personally.
In an ideal band I'd love to work with other songwriters. Guitar, keys, drums, bass. Pop-rock/indie-rock stuff, but im also open to other bands. Im not really into just doing covers though. I want to be creative.
Im also interested in finding another songwriter with a great voice who wants to just write and record music together. Doesnt have to be a traditional band. I've also written a couple of country songs that I think would sound good if recorded by another singer, as my voice doesn't work well with the genre.

Michael Jensen - Visiting Hours
Michael Jensen - Visiting HoursIt feels okay to finally be alone. At least that's what they say, when you're aching for your home Your home When everything inside you wants to be outside Your skin is busy crawling off your bones When everything you've needed, starts to recede It threatens any notion of control And the emptiness It creeps inside your soul I tried my best But I am just a wreck Yeah I am just a mess And I don't want to die like this It feels so strange when everybody leaves As if love gets erased, when the chemicals deplete Come back please When everything inside just aches to feel alright And part of you is scared to fall asleep When all that you have left is drawing any breath You triumph at a sigh for some relief But the loneliness Comes back, and you concede I tried my best But I am just a wreck Yeah I am just a mess But I don't want to die like this And I cried, I bled I promise I can change I'm begging you to stay Please don't let me slip away Every time (I, I feel weak, A moment in need) I dig myself out of this hole (I can't be alone for much more) Old disease (Why, Why must you leave? Just sing me to sleep) It comes back only stronger than before (I can't be alone, I can't be) I tried my best But I am just a wreck Yeah I am just a mess But I don't want to die like this And I cried, I bled (The visiting hours over) I promise I can change (The visiting hours over) I'm begging you to stay (The visiting hours over, over, over) Please don't let me slip away ...Please

Awful Things
Awful ThingsYou fell asleep again, with a cigarette in your hand And sent the whole place up in flames And so I shake my head, it's clear you don't understand How to live with your mistakes Or all the promises you know you'll break We've all done awful things, We've all been chastened But asking you to try to change, it's always been a waste of time And so you lost the rent, another whole paycheque Tell me how are we to eat? And then you played the car, the four wheels we lived in Now we're sleeping in the street You blame it all on one unlucky streak We've all done awful things, we've all been chastened Everybody knows your name, but nobody speaks it We've all done awful things, we've all felt beaten But asking you to try to change, it's always been a waste of time I've felt colder, and I'm the older one So I will hold them close, and keep us all away from you I found a quarter, so I will shoulder all the blame I called for order, and they... They took us all away from you
