So, I’m trying to decide if I should continue to publish everything I record, or if I should start being more picky and only publish the things that I still like when I’m done recording them. I recorded something today that I have doubts about sharing..
it’s also pretty clear that if I keep going, I’m going to end up with like fifty songs from 2010. I think the practice is good for me, though.
Stand, stand togeather
Walking hand in hand in hand by the sea
Stand, stand forever
travelling onward farther than I can see
I never knew something was missing
I never saw what I was or could be
Then one day my heart flew far away from there
Far away from the pain and the misery
You are something amazing (amazing you)
Something real inside you calls out to me
You are there forever (and always)
Friends on the path to unravel life’s mystery
Stand, stand togeather (forevermore)
Walking hand in hand in hand by the sea
Stand, stand forever (and always shall be)
travelling onward farther than I can see
I love the smell of you I breathe you
The sweet spicy scent of you
I love the feel of you all of you
As you touch your lips to mine
I love the warmth of you I hold you
The feeling I get when I hold you
Love the summer sunshine of you all of you
washing through my mind
I love the taste of you I taste you
The salt and the spice so nice of you
I love to dive into you all of you
And bury myself deep inside
I love the thought of you I love you
Enfolding me with all you do
I love the feel of your body all of you
moving in rhythm with mine
I love the sound of you I hear you
The sound of your voice ring so true
I love when you moan so sweetly all of you
Feeling pleasure divine
I love the things you say I want you
You are so beautiful in every way
I love the things you do all of you
Like poetry without the rhyme
I love the look of you I watch you
All softness and curves and eyes so blue
I love the feel of you all of you
Feeling so right all the time
I love how safe I feel with you I trust you
How I can say anything to you
There’s nothing I have to hide from you all of you
Hiding from you would be a crime
With all we say and all we do I love you
Can there be any doubt that I love you
My heart and mind lie open to you All of you
I would share with you my last dime
I thought both of the last two tracks deserved a little more explanation. Homeless was written by Megan Devoy – she asked me to take a poem she had written and put music to it. Because the free-form nature didn’t really lend itself to a conventional piece, I pulled out one of my favorite tricks, Spoken Word. Yay. I love those.
Dream Delayed started out as a very different song – in fact, two very different songs. But it just wouldn’t be anything than what it is – apparently this was the time for this song, and it didn’t want to be kept down. So I let it out. I haven’t decided how I feel about it.
It has one line in it that I really love… ‘Our dream that got delayed’. Those of you who know my life history know exactly what events, and who, this is about. The rest of you will just have to wonder until I write my autobiography. (Heh. Like that will happen.)
Fiber stretches
Across the miles
Carrying words between me and you
Words bring hope
Hope for a future
Closer together, a dream come true
walking along in disillusion
And my world turned over one day
saw what I was missing
when love comes
don’t turn the other way
I was sick
Lost within me
I was walking blind
I was dead
Dark within me
Now there’s a light that shines
I fight fear
Every day closer
To walking unafraid
In your eyes
I hope to find it
Our dream that got delayed
Okay. I finally checked out the south park episode about facebook. Yes. Much laughing. Very much laughing.
Those of you who have listened to WSHR know that I often sign off with Brahm’s Lullabye. I wrote some quick words to it, and recorded this acapella number just for you all. 😉
So goodbye and goodnight
May your journey go onward
May your dreams all take flight
Thank you for your time this night
So Goodbye and goodnight
Though we wish you could stay
So Goodbye and goodnight
May you sleep in peace tonight
So goodbye and goodnight
May your love light your way
May you find all you need
Every single day
With good friends and good cheer
May your loves all stay near
With good times and good memes
May you sleep with pleasent dreams
So goodbye and goodnight
We always hate to leave you
It’s so good to see you there
So good to receive you
So goodbye and good night
Hope you had a good time
So goodbye and goodnight
See you all again sometime
Here’s a couple of mellow tracks that I thought I’d mention here. No lyrics on either one, but they’re both extremely chill-out music
Sunset reminds me of the guitar in Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure.. I think it’s gorgeous, and I may experiment with that voice combination some more.
I redid sex, because it had a high suck factor.. not at all worthy of such a great topic
Your skin so soft, your hands caressing
I watch in shadows as you’re undressing
So much beauty to uncover
You know I love this time with you, my lover
Our bodies moving togeather
We climb up the hill of forever
Your touch makes me sane
Pleasure washes away the pain
(chorus)
You don’t need to ask me
The answer is always yes
I love you, I want you, I need you
I await your caress
I taste your salt, sweatness and flow
I let this hunger inside me grow
I feel your body flexing in time
Feel the warmth of your sweet, sweet wine
I feel your hunger matching mine
Your body pulses and your eyes shine
Every moment feels so sublime
You’re so warm, like sweet sunshine
(chorus)
You don’t need to ask me
The answer is always yes
I love you, I want you, I need you
Always a good time to undress
My hands on you, I feel your nipples rise
in the dark I see your glowing blue eyes
I hear your heartbeat and your song of pleasure
It’s the joy we bring each other I treasure
Come dance with me in the darkness tonight
So gorgeous in candlelight
Our bodies joined, one and the same
Bodies dancing like a flame
(solo)
Now we’ve found our moment together
Over quickly yet it feels like forever
I cuddle close in the afterglow
Caress you and wait for the hunger to grow
Another dance, and another, and another
There’s no one else like you, my lover
days and nights in exstacy
The best things in life were always free
