This is the first song I've been working on for an album I plan on compiling later this year. I've got about 15 tracks planned with some already being recorded, so it should be fun ^^
I really hope you enjoy this one, I've been working on it for a while!

Lyrics:
I’ve been sipping on a bottle of disaronno, drop the rocks
And add a double rum, spiced or not
Sitting in the kitchen, laid back in my slacks
Mixing in half a pint of peach schnapps
Ran out of room in the cocktail shaker
Took a sip and used the whiskey as a chaser
And it burns my throat like nothing else
While the memory melts
Oh I might look like a mess
Singing, 酒は大好きです
No I don’t do it for the flavour but I oughtta
If you see me passing out don’t call a doctor
And, strictly speaking, I’m not an alcoholic
But you got me drinking so much it’s turning symbolic
Like a bad habit, or a brain maggot
But to me a bottles better than a fag packet
[Chorus] x2
Oh I’m mixing a concoction
Might be alcohol or toxins
If I don’t drink enough I’ll regret
And remember you by the weekend
There’s a vinyl player in the back
Might as well be playing the same damn track
My mind’s on repeat, flashback
To a time before it all went black
And I was kicked out of every bar
Apparently when drunk I like to drive cars
So now I stay home and drink no mixers
And get buzzed on my own elixirs
One shot, two shot, three shots, four
I don’t even know if my body can take more
Somewhere between like dead and dying
If I said I felt fine you know I’m lying
(I’m lying, oh, I’m lying)
[Chorus]
Oh I’m mixing a concoction
Might be alcohol or toxins
If I don’t drink enough I’ll regret
And remember you by the weekend
Oh I can’t remember why
That sad look in your eyes
Oh ooh I’m mixing up a little something special of mine
Oh ooh I might not wake up this time
I really hope you enjoy this one, I've been working on it for a while!

Hey! Sorry I took a while to listen to this! But I did make a note here that I would! How awkward would it be if I just left after appreciating and showing my love for your music? :P
I'll admit, I don't listen to much folk. In fact, I don't really listen to folk at all. However, I can appreciate it so I promise this comment will still be valid xD!
I like the story you portrayed through the song in the different structures. If I pieced the music together, our main character here is trying to drink away the memories, and he basically wants to do it for good. Enough that he won't regret it or remember someone? I hope I got that right! If not, clarify for me cause I'd love to know :)
The sound of it is what I would call "chill." I can picture myself listening to this when calm, or just hanging out, nothing too rowdy, which is nice! I always liked this cause it lets the listener be swayed by the message and the theme of it is easy to take in!
I also want to add that the guitar playing was great! It matches/suits the vocal part well. I also LOVE Harmonies. I don't know why, but Harmonies are my jam, so I really liked the different vocal tracks of humming behind the main vocal track!
All in all, excellent job! I really don't have any criticisms about this song because I really enjoyed it! Good work on the planning for an album! You inspire me to sing! As said before, keep writing, keep singing, and I look forward to more!

Wow, thanks a bunch dude! :D
I really appreciate you thinking about it in such detail haha
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was going for in terms of narrative and theme, and I'm glad you like the harmonies! They're like my favourite thing to do. Speaking of which, have you checked out this acapella song I made a little while ago? https://soundcloud.com/mrknchls/whe.....ou-coming-back
It's pretty much just fun with harmonies: the song :p

Listened to it on my way home from work!
You hit me in my weak spot! I have the biggest "toner" for Acapella! (Pitch Perfect Joke :D)
Harmonies are so on point with it, and without instruments really lets the listener hear out your voice! I started humming the song after I heard it. You have such a talent for writing and producing music! Seriously, Pursue Music and continue to make it from the heart :)
