Common Days

I love being smol with my partner/caretaker Cover art by @littleburr.bsky.social - Lyrics - There's something that's missing from my wardrobe right now A something that's crinkly and soft I'm missing the feeling that's there when I'm home The touch of a caretaker's paws I've had enough worries of work and of life I want to let go of it all I just need a couple of colorful tools To go back to when I was small I feel so snug With my padded butt I feel so flop With my plushie fops I feel so safe In my littlespace I feel so soft In my caretaker's paws

I got inspired by Jacadamia's video about connection through art, and creating even in difficult times. https://youtu.be/CtzSHVh0mgw Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Together/

Saying goodbye to 2025 This song was inspired by a street musician in Cork who played bells with his feet while playing guitar and singing. Sheet music/chords: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/My%20Year/ - Lyrics - Finished work for the year And I'm contemplating How I'm doing with life Am I happy where I am It's another new year And I can't help wondering What is waiting for me Could I do it all again Will this finally be my year Filled with endless possibilities Will this finally be the time When I'm right at where I want to be

A parody Christmas song I did as part of the Charity Fur Christmas II album by @bassdogsongs The version on the album is actually mixed by someone who knows their stuff, so go buy it on Bandcamp. All profits go to The Trevor Project. - Lyrics - Have yourself a furry little Christmas Let your paws be light Next year all our haters will be out of sight Have yourself a yiffy little Christmas Make the Yuletide gay Next year all our drama will be miles away Once again, on FA and MUCKs There'll be golden showers or vore Faithful friends who are deer or bucks Will cum into us once more Someday soon, we all will room together If the con allows Until then, we'll have to cuddle through somehow So have yourself a furry little Christmas now

I do tend to worry a good deal Music video: https://youtu.be/9XwEfroCMcE Chords: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Answers Wondering My mind is always wandering I am constantly Worrying Planning Thinking Oh I Clarity I just want a bit more certainty I just wanna know if You and me We can solve Anything Oh I I don't have the answers I ain't got a clue Yet there is no question We will see this through I don't have the answers I ain't got a clue Yet there is no question We will see this through

just because they can't find anything wrong with my body doesn't make the pain go away Chords: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Invisible/ - Lyrics - What doesn't kill me makes me stronger But why do I have to be strong What isn't present cannot hurt me Then why do I still feel the pain The small things They add up Bit by bit They eat through me There's nothing here For you to see For you to see The pain I feel Belongs to me Only for me I spent so long looking for answers But all the leads just turned up blank Why did I put in so much effort My pleas all fell on deafened ears If all this Is normal Then tell me Why does it hurt There's nothing here For you to see For you to see The pain I feel Belongs to me Belongs to me Only for me There is no rhyme there is no reason There is no honor in this fight

still working on my mental health - Lyrics - I hate my brain I hate this body I am in I hate these thoughts I hate the chaos from within If I could control The fears and anxieties If I could make peace And calm the storm in my mind I'm getting up I'm killing all the doubt within I'll give myself The love and care that I deserve It's hard to ignore The fears and anxieties If I could reach out And get the help that I need

for my partner Dreesh - Lyrics - I know you're in love with me With you right here I'm at ease I'm so honored you chose me When there's more fish inside the sea I know I've been hurt before Don't know what I'm looking for I thought I'd just be alone Until you showed up at my door I won't run this time I'll enjoy this time with you I'm not scared this time I want to spend time with you I won't run this time I enjoy this time with you I'm not scared this time I want to spend time with you

My interpretation of what the song Get Bent Jimmy Two-Face, a song written by Trish in the game Goodbye Volcano High, would've sounded like Cover art not under Creative Commons Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Get%20Bent%20Jimmy%20Two-Face - Lyrics - Get bent Jimmy Two-Face Get bent Jimmy Two-Face Get outta my life Get outta my life Smart ass, dumb ass Open a can of whoop ass You dare fuck with me good sir I'm putting you on blast You think you can fool me Tough luck I ain't getting fooled by a fool like you You think you are sexy Well damn You should try having some less self esteem Get bent Jimmy Two-Face Get bent Jimmy Two-Face Get outta my life Get outta my life 1, 2, 3, 4 Why are you still wanting more I know you're just a fuckboy Baby we've been there before You said that you loved me Tough luck You should've thought twice 'fore you tried that line You said that you're sorry Fuck that I've seen better lies in the New York Times Get bent Jimmy Two-Face Get bent Jimmy Two-Face Get outta my life Get outta my life Get outta my life

A gift for a newly engaged couple Cover art not under Creative Commons - Lyrics - Could it be We're standing hand in hand together Could it be You promised that we'll stay together I can't believe We're eye to eye and heart to heart in sync We'll spend the rest of life together The vows we said shall last forever There is no one of us Without both of us Together We'll spend the rest of life together You and me With love and care support each other You and me We'll find the little joys in life I can't believe We're face to face and lips to lips in sync We'll spend the rest of life together The vows we said shall last forever There is no one of us Without both of us Together We'll spend the rest of life together

so yeah stuff's kinda crazy huh. let's stick around for each other Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Hold%20On - Lyrics - It's a scary time And I'm scared out of my mind I'm scared to death on behalf of everyone I love It's an unsure time And I'm not sure how to feel I'm not sure if we'll make it out the other side We just do it, do it, do it, do it anyway We just keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on living Doesn't matter matter matter if it makes sense We just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on It's an angry time And I'm angry at the world I'm angry that we chose to be intolerant It's a painful time And it pains me to no end It pains me that I can't do more to help my friends We just do it, do it, do it, do it anyway We just keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on living Doesn't matter matter matter if it makes sense We just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on It's a hopeful time We have hope here if we we care There's hope if we just stick around and help each other in this time

My friend @osvaldo-64 asked me to collab on a song for his anniversary. This is my original draft before it got produced into its final version. The lyrics contain various references to their relationship. Final song: https://soundcloud.com/osvaldo-64/where-id-be-1-year-anniversary Lyrics Across the ocean Nine thousand as the hawk flies We're just two lovebirds sitting back to back Two different countries It's hard to know how you feel I want to keep you safe within my wings I know the first time can be quite nerve-racking But I will hold you to the end I wonder where I'd be if I've not found your love Would I be wandering, tryin' to find something to cling to I wonder where we'd be now that we've found our love Could we now push through all the problems we'd run into Across through spacetime As gravity defying We're just a cat and hawk in hyperspace Two different species One golden feather binds us I want to fly with you aboard my wings I know the journey is still long and winding But I will be there 'till the end I wonder where I'd be if I've not found your love Would I be wandering, tryin' to find something to cling to I wonder where we'd be now that we've found our love Could we now push through all the problems we'd run into I love, the way, we lift each other up I love, the way, we make each other laugh I love, the way, you're passionate about stuff I love you dear I wonder where I'd be if I've not found your love Would I be wandering, tryin' to find something to cling to I wonder where we'd be now that we've found our love Could we now push through all the problems we'd run into

trying something new - Lyrics - I can't carry on Repressing all these dark thoughts Trapped in my own mind No jury for this sentence What a funny feeling To be denied of my own feelings Hurry up and wait There's plenty time for ruminating I can't synthesize A cure for all the trauma Looping in my mind Just chasing my own shadows What a funny feeling To be denied of my own feelings Hurry up and wait There's plenty time for ruminating

Somewhat inspired by Dabu, definitely ripping off Big Thief. The lyrics are basic but they're the vibe the song needs. Fun fact: the recorder has pitch correction on it - Lyrics - Do I really think I Could be part of your world Should I even think that You'd accept me right now Could I even dream that You are thinking of me If I could decide I Want to be by your side Could I even dream that You are thinking of me If I could decide I Want to be by your side

Just messing around and accidentally made a song that sounds like the title theme of an indie detective game. Unfortunately I am not making an indie detective game.

This is a remake of a song from 6 years ago. Slightly tweaked lyrics, now with melodica. I was on a flight to Scotland. The weather was rainy and miserable, but then the plane poked above the clouds, and in that moment, everything looked magical. The clouds looked like a watercolour painting. I held on to this chord progression for quite a while, but it's this moment that I came up with the melody and lyrics for it. - Lyrics - Soaring over watercolored skies Splash of misty cotton soaked in dyes Pristine azure skies that stretch out into infinity Following the line leading right where I want to be If I chose a moment froze in time Nothing close to this is as divine Share a special thought that shall echo through the endless sea Sing a simple song that will guide me though the times with you

CW as this is about a friend's suicide attempt, as well as my own experiences - Lyrics - You said The world is not like heaven You said You don't like the cards you're given You said There is no thing with feathers You said There is no point no more When you cried to me that other night I couldn't say a word How could I save another one When I couldn't save myself When you scraped the gates of heaven When you heard those trumpets burn When you said you want another life The pain The pain it lasts forever The pain The pain it never stops When I said to you I needed help You just ignored my words How could I rid this awful curse When it's from within myself When I scraped the gates of heaven When I heard those trumpets burn When I said I want another life

This is about a failed long-distance relationship Sheet music & chords: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Not%20Love/ - Lyrics - It started so sweet The talks that we had Where we shared all our feelings so deep I want us to meet I want to see you Cause you swept me right off of my feet We call it love But what is love anyway It's not love You're just another obsession of mine It's not love You're just a figment inside of my mind I don't know you I wish I knew who you are I thought I knew you From all of our chats I feel close and connected to you You're so far away We haven't held hands Yet you're crying and begging to stay There is no trust There is no us anymore There is no love There is no us anymore

In chapter 4, Naomi (as the secret admirer) mentions that if she were to write a song, it would be about how everyone sees colors differently. I took this and made it about Fang and Naomi's love, despite being very different. Art by Vivisextion Sheet music & chords: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Different%20Eyes/ [verse 1, Fang] The blue that you see Isn't the blue that I see Cause baby you never see Your pretty blue eyes I am so far behind you You've got your life made for you What could I possibly do To be by your side [chorus] We're living different lives Seeing from different eyes But in the end we see The same clear blue sky We're skilled at different things We're living different dreams But we are not as far Apart as it seems [verse 2, Naomi] The red that I see Isn't the red that you see Cause darling you never see The fire in my heart You are as free as the wind Catching your wings in the wind How could I ever begin To even take part [chorus] We're living different lives Seeing from different eyes But in the end we see The same clear blue sky We're skilled at different things We're living different dreams But we are not as far Apart as it seems [bridge] We're worlds apart But what links us Is what's inside our hearts We're parallel but not so far apart Together we are complements We raise each other up Together our colors blend to one

This is what started it all Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Song%20for%20a%20Lover%20I%20Haven’t%20Met/ Lyrics Another love song on the radio The sha la la la la and the woah-oo-oh I know them all by heart, I can sing the tune I'm just ain't got someone to sing it to It's a song for a lover that I haven't even met It's a song for another but they don't exist just yet Its a song it's a song it's a song it's for someone Someone really special that I hopefully will get to know Another love song on the radio The cheesy sounding one from long ago The sickly sweet adjectives and loving verbs If only there's someone who'll hear these words It's a song for a lover that I haven't even met It's a song for another but they don't exist just yet Its a song it's a song it's a song it's for someone Someone really special that I hopefully will get to know

It's a cheesy song, so it uses the cheesiest chord progression known to mankind. Chords: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Someday%20I%20Will%20Learn%20To%20Play%20The%20Guitar/ Lyrics I ain't got a lot But you deserve the world I wanna give you all I can I am not the sun I'm not even the moon How can I give you what you truly deserve Someday I will learn to play the guitar Serenade you with love songs all day long Someday I will learn to sing the sweet songs That I heard on the radio If I had a brush I'll paint you endlessly Too bad I got no artist skills How can I express You mean the world to me There's not enough words I could use Someday I will learn to play the guitar Serenade you with love songs all day long Someday I will learn to sing the sweet songs That I heard on the radio

I struggle a lot with intimacy, and I often push people away if they get too close. But sometimes, that doesn't happen. Chords: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Felt%20This%20Way/ Lyrics I've been running from the intimate I've been running the love For I am just too hurt I've avoided all relationships I've avoided being close But with you I can start anew I've not felt this way in so long I thought that it was gone But I found it back in you I've not felt this way in so long I thought I did something wrong But everything is right with you I thought everyone despised me I'm avoidant and I'm cold I've been hurt too many times Now if anyone approached me I would turn around and hide But I want to be by your side Could it be I'm not a broken person Could it be I'm still worthy of love I've not felt this way in so long I thought that it was gone But I found it back in you I've not felt this way in so long I thought I did something wrong But everything is right with you It never felt more right But everything is right with you

This is the first time I'm trying out an orchestral style, somewhat inspired by Sinatra-era songs. Lyrics Do you think about the past All the things that could have been Every fork in the road Every path that I chose And the person I became Did I make a good choice Or was the choice just easy If I had another chance If I had just one more glance Would I do it all the same There’s a puppet master behind the curtains controlling my every move There’s a voice inside my head that always judges what I do Can someone give me a sign cause I don't know what to do I raise a glass to all that made me me

Cover of Don't Call by Dabu, from the Goodbye Volcano High soundtrack https://dabuaudio.bandcamp.com/track/dont-call-ft-brigitte-nagger Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/GVH/Don%27t%20Call%20%28piano%29/

Feeling like my life isn't my own. Kept under one minute for submission to a competition. Lyrics I am living life Through someone else's eyes This story's not my own Never was my own The paths that I can take Have all been preordained The choice was not my own Never was my own I am sick of what the world has thrown at me I am breaking out, there are no rules

I got burnt out last year. Never really recovered from it. Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Left%20Behind/ Lyrics Left behind Oh my god I'm struggling I'm left behind No one here to help me I'm a failure and I am just left to die Left behind I missed my train, I've lost my way I'm left to find My own way to paradise The gates to a good world are hard to find Why can't you just do the work that everyone is doing It's so simple so simple Why can't you just be like all the others they don't need no help You're lazy just lazy Left behind Everybody thinks that I am Doing fine Why won't they believe me that I'm Trying my best not to fall behind Left behind Every day is tiring Stuck in a grind Nine to five I bide my time Exhaustion and breakdowns come every night No one ever asked me if I wanted to live life this way Is there not a choice here Why I got to work all day in order just to feed myself Just ableist nonsense Hanging by a single thread the future is just full of dread I'm holding on barely I just have to find a way to have my mind not go insane It's just my normal life

These are my feelings on recently coming out as non-binary. Also this is my first time using Ableton Live instead of GarageBand Lyrics When you look at the world through a mirror Do you look the same You're too big, you're too square, you're too manly It drives me insane I've been finding A new word, a new phrase, to describe who I am I am something Not a sir, not a ma'am, but the middle When you show a new you to the world Are you still the same Some new clothes different hair and new pronouns With the same old name I've been trying To escape leave behind these old roles I've been given I've been trying To escape somewhere safe in the middle

I was inspired by a conversation with Reed in the game Goodbye Volcano High, about what the point of everything is if the world is gonna end. Why do we still care when we know life is temporary, a flash in a pan? Well, I don't know, but I have a song. Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/We%20Are%20Here/ Lyrics And so what if it's all just a dream We still did the best we could And so what if it's all temporary We still lived the life we lived And so what and so what and so what and so what if it's a dream we still had fun And so what if it all ends right now We still had the best of times And so what if it all has no meaning We were there and we had us And so what and so what and so what and so what if it ends now we are right here And so what if we don't leave a mark We still live the here and now And so what if no one knows our faces We still have us in our hearts And so what and so what and so what and so what if it ends now we are right here

Some call and response

The original version of the main melody

This is a song from early transition. I wasn't very sure of myself, and I felt very insecure confronting my gender. Written 2018, only completed in 2023. - Lyrics - [Verse] Another day, another morning The same old hat and same old coat Deep down, I still get the feeling I’m missing something I can’t find By the sink, up at the mirror I see a shadow of myself From my face, down to my body There's something wrong I can't define [Pre-chorus] Is the real me the me people see Or the one that wants so desperate to be free [Chorus] Do you look into the mirror and you see someone you never want to be Do you hear yourself cry 'cause the world around you misidentifies In the looking glass Am I looking at myself or just an image of myself inside the glass And I wonder Are you ready to make the leap into the great unknown wonderland [Bridge] I'm not ready but it's too late I'm already here in this brand new fate I'm not ready but it's too late I'm already here in this strange new fate All the hate and fears All the worried tears What if someone knows What if someone hears Everywhere I go Everyone I know Should I be myself Should I let them know [Pre-chorus] It's a long way home [Chorus 2] Do you look into the mirror and you see the one you've always wanted to be Do you hear yourself cry 'cause the world around you finally realised In the looking glass I can see my former self admire the image of myself inside the glass What a wonder I'm awake and all I wanted is right here in reality

Yes it's about Blåhaj in case you're wondering - Lyrics - It's a cozy night and I'm snuggling my thoughts away Twas a stressful day and I need a way to drift away Suddenly, I'm struggling to keep my fears at bay After all, you cannot talk, you're just a children's toy You've got blue skin body of polymer and sewn on eyes Brings me back to the innocence of simpler times Hold you softly in my arms, you’re never judging me You're my only company, I'm desperately alone [ instrumental ] Hold you softly in my arms, you’re never judging me You're my only company, I can’t do it alone

All together now!

I took Kip's lyrics from the webcomic Duncan and Eddie and put them into song, adding my own to fill the blanks. Recorded in Audacity for authenticity - Lyrics - Quiet with you is warmer than a bonfire Monochrome fur made my heart rate run high[1] I am blushing now Your calm presence is what I prefer I can't stop thinking bout your black and white fur[2] and your ponytail Every day I look at you in awe I’m to shy to tell you how I feel Cause truth be told I'm in love with you[3] [1] https://doginacafe.tumblr.com/post/721954032827105281 [2] https://www.patreon.com/posts/love-songs-bonus-72852428 [3] https://doginacafe.tumblr.com/post/729496196572479488

I was quite lonely and depressed, but then this melody came into my head and I felt calmer. Same melody as Blue, but piano only. Sheet music: https://robinsyl.dev/sheets/originals/Snow/

I've always wanted to make a bossa-nova sounding song

this isn't about a person, but a place - Lyrics - So long, the sun is falling, down Slow down, and watch the fire, drown In a little bit Watch the sky go burning, burning Cast a yellow glow As the waves they churning churning Sneak a little kiss As our hands they holding holding Sunlight in your eyes [Instrumental] Drive down, the winding coastal, road Hair flying as the cool breeze, blows Snap a couple pics Feel the wheels they turning turning See the sailing ships On the sea they floating floating Feel your cherry lips As my heart it thumping thumping Sparkles in your eyes [Instrumental] Feel the warm glow Out the window Feel the warm glow Out the window Feel the warm glow Out the window Sunlight in your eyes [Instrumental]

A personal song about wanting to grow up again - Lyrics - If I could be small again Be in mama's arms again Nothing to do but play If I could be a kid again Make new friends again Every day's a brand new day Learning to live Learning to laugh Learning to be myself If I could grow up again Make new memories again Replacing all the thorns If I could be born again Be born a little girl Like I should have been born Learning to live Learning to laugh Learning to be myself Again

A Christmas song from someone who doesn't celebrate Christmas - Lyrics - On this foggy winter morning I was riding on my bike I don't believe in magic But the world's a pretty sight I hear cheerful people singing I hear rustling in the trees I see ferries on the water Hiding in the gentle mist Though I ain't got turkey dinners Ain't got presents nor a tree I still wish you a merry Christmas Eve [ukulele bridge] Though I ain't got turkey dinners Ain't got presents nor a tree I still wish you a merry Christmas Eve

I am so tired of being an adult... Basically this picture as a song: https://twitter.com/PandorasArtbox/status/1249357515457990656 - Lyrics - When I was a young girl I wished on magic Nothing in the world is Too far for me The growing stack Of school and work and obligations Am I ever good enough I looked into the night sky I saw the constellations The hunter, vase, and fishes Told me their stories I looked into the night sky I saw a shooting star I closed my eyes and wished for Magic and wonder What has my life become Go back Can I be a child again Go back I looked into the night sky I saw the constellations The hunter, vase, and fishes Told me their stories I looked into the night sky I saw a shooting star I closed my eyes and wished for Magic and wonder

- Lyrics - 7 am the sun is shining through my bedroom window Beckoning me to take a look Why is it suddenly that there's a song inside my heart The little bird singing 'bout hope It's a good day And I feel like I'm myself again It's a new day I can start over again

My friend Alpha send me a recording of him playing the keyboard. I had to make it into a full song - Lyrics - Sulphur rain Pouring down Without grace Meteors Broken land What a shame

As a trans girl, the road to become my true self is long and winding, and without much help from family. - Lyrics - In a forest, lost alone Wandering through nowhere alone Give a little light guide me Another lonesome night cried me All these social norms tied me To my older self hide me To my mom and dad lied me For a better time bide me Showing who I am pride me The boy inside of me died here

This song is a short interlude for a larger song that I’m working on. The song is about my experience being trans, hence the colours. I’m waiting. Waiting for the waiting list for a psychologist, waiting for bureaucracy, waiting to get a diagnosis, waiting to get on hormones, etc. But also, waiting for people to accept me.
