My Child
My child, where did you go?
From school you never came home
Teacher says she doesn't know
Meanwhile, your supper's gone cold
My child, what did they do?
What cruelty performed upon you?
Teacher says she never knew
Someone tell me the truth
Where's the laughter inside our empty home?
Where are the innocent, joyful smiles?
Please, someone in the light, I need to know
Where the hell did they take my child?
136 schools
Beatings with civilized rules
Culture of kindness turned cruel?
Someone tell me the truth
Where's the laughter inside our empty home?
Where are the innocent, joyful smiles
Please, someone in the light, I need to know
Where the hell did they take my child?
Where's the laughter inside our empty home?
Where are the innocent, joyful smiles
Please, someone in the light, I need to know
Where the hell did they take my child?
My child, where did you go?
From school you never came home
Teacher says she doesn't know
Meanwhile, your grave has gone cold
My child, where did you go?
From school you never came home
Teacher says she doesn't know
Meanwhile, your supper's gone cold
My child, what did they do?
What cruelty performed upon you?
Teacher says she never knew
Someone tell me the truth
Where's the laughter inside our empty home?
Where are the innocent, joyful smiles?
Please, someone in the light, I need to know
Where the hell did they take my child?
136 schools
Beatings with civilized rules
Culture of kindness turned cruel?
Someone tell me the truth
Where's the laughter inside our empty home?
Where are the innocent, joyful smiles
Please, someone in the light, I need to know
Where the hell did they take my child?
Where's the laughter inside our empty home?
Where are the innocent, joyful smiles
Please, someone in the light, I need to know
Where the hell did they take my child?
My child, where did you go?
From school you never came home
Teacher says she doesn't know
Meanwhile, your grave has gone cold
Temporary Panic
I don't know if I’m okay
it doesn't matter anyway
it's temporary panic
my face is calm as dawning day
and yet you'll see my eyes betray
my temporary panic
should I leave or should I stay?
I can't remember what's the way
there's no need to worry, darling
I'm gonna be just fine
it's temporary panic in my mind
trembling fingers, sweaty palms
crack my facade of outer calm
is it temporary panic?
thoughts are swirling through my head
too fast to pass and get ahead
of my temporary panic
heart racing on a hamster wheel
confusion clouding all I feel
you don't need to worry, darling
it's gonna be just fine
it's temporary panic in my mind
there's no need to worry, darling
I'm gonna be just fine
it's temporary panic in my mind
you don't need to worry, darling
it's gonna be just fine
it's temporary panic in my mind
in my mind, it's all in my mind, they say it's in my mind, only in my mind, they tell me it's my mind, only in my mind
I don't know if I’m okay
it doesn't matter anyway
it's temporary panic
my face is calm as dawning day
and yet you'll see my eyes betray
my temporary panic
should I leave or should I stay?
I can't remember what's the way
there's no need to worry, darling
I'm gonna be just fine
it's temporary panic in my mind
trembling fingers, sweaty palms
crack my facade of outer calm
is it temporary panic?
thoughts are swirling through my head
too fast to pass and get ahead
of my temporary panic
heart racing on a hamster wheel
confusion clouding all I feel
you don't need to worry, darling
it's gonna be just fine
it's temporary panic in my mind
there's no need to worry, darling
I'm gonna be just fine
it's temporary panic in my mind
you don't need to worry, darling
it's gonna be just fine
it's temporary panic in my mind
in my mind, it's all in my mind, they say it's in my mind, only in my mind, they tell me it's my mind, only in my mind
Cancel You
I've been watching you online because there's many eyes for me to find
moral guards who've been designed to tirelessly keep you in line
I've been listening many years with several billion active ears
recording for the world to hear your secrets and your deepest fears
I feel offended by nothing offensive
I cover my motives by being defensive
my finger points right at you
I don't like the things you do I'm gonna find a way to cancel you
it don't matter if they're true I'm gonna use your words to cancel you from my world
your memories are kept alive in endless clouds of storage drives
delete pictures all survive for eternity in my archives
every single thing you've done is backed up in a string of zeros and ones
accessible by anyone who decrypts the right partition
I feel offended by nothing offensive
I cover my motives by being defensive
my finger points right at you
I don't like the things you do I'm gonna find a way to cancel you
it don't matter if they're true I'm gonna use your words to cancel you from my world
I don't like the things you do I'm gonna find a way to cancel you
it don't matter if they're true I'm gonna use your words to cancel you from my world

Dream Away
she walks along beneath the stars
singing songs from within her heart
as moonlight shines upon her tears
she longs to find the one who'll hear
he walks alone with lonely eyes
hearing songs within his mind
as moonlight shines he loses fear
and longs to find the one he hears
she's in his dreams, he's in hers too
they've yet to meet, but when they do
the endless bliss of love so fair
with one sweet kiss is theirs to share
dream away...
she walks along beneath the stars
singing songs from within her heart
as moonlight shines upon her tears
she longs to find the one who'll hear
he walks alone with lonely eyes
hearing songs within his mind
as moonlight shines he loses fear
and longs to find the one he hears
she's in his dreams, he's in hers too
they've yet to meet, but when they do
the endless bliss of love so fair
with one sweet kiss is theirs to share
dream away...
About Me
Hi! My name is Andy. I was born in Lethbridge and have lived in Edmonton since about 1985. When I was a boy, a family member gave me an acoustic guitar which started a mesmerizing and endless (although somewhat interrupted) musical journey! My musical influences are many and varied, but I'd say the strongest and most lasting are The Beatles, Kate Bush, Rush and Foo Fighters.
About Axabitte Studios
Axabitte Studios began as a way to capture my own songs in the way I wanted to hear them, miles ahead of the Radio Shack cassette player I used in the late 70s and early 80s! I've recently explored the idea of working with other artists to help realize their musical vision.
Currently, I use the following gear:
- Audio Interface: Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen2
- Digital Audio Workstation: Ableton Live 11 Standard
- Favorite Plugins: Guitar Rig 6, Bias FX 2, Ample Bass P, Addictive Drums 2, Waves Doubler, String Quartet by SpitFire Audio, SynthWave by ModeAudio, Grand Piano, Spectral Textures
- Vocal Recording Microphone: MXL 770 Cardioid Condenser
- Vocal Performance Microphone: Shure PGA48
- Instrument Microphones: Acoustic: Audio-Technica AT2021 Cardioid Condenser, Electric: Shure SM57-LC
- Studio Monitors: PreSonus Eris E3.5-3.5"
- Studio Headphones: AKG K 240 Semi-Open
- Guitars: PRS SE Custom 24, Gibson Les Paul Studio, Fender Telecaster, Fender Acoustic, Rackstar (bass)
- Amps: Positive Grid Spark, BOSS Katana 50 MkII, Roland Cube 10X, Crate BT15 (bass)
- PA: Alto Trouper 200W
Is this a professional quality studio? No. Am I an audio engineer? No. Can I make a decent demo for an artist who can't (or doesn't want to) afford a real studio or doesn't have their own recording environment? Yes! I'm willing to help local Edmonton artists take a small step towards getting their voices and their music heard. Contact me for more details!
