Album Idea.

Hello to the internet. I have this idea that sort of plopped into my head. We shall see where it takes us.

I've always wanted to write with themes and I finally have an idea. Colors. Blue. Red. Yellow. Etc. Yes, Colors. And there will be fictional stories/songs about these colors. I will include an example of Blue. It is just free writing right now of ideas, no specific lyrics quite yet, just randomness.

BLUE:

She was a single mother now. Her eyes were as bright as the sky. The soothing voice she carried on traveled by the ocean. Her past was so alone, her calm voice covered her bruises. But she knows that her baby boy needs a better life than this. She believes that the waterfall is the only way to go home. Though death was not just a fall, but a way to the end. The breath of the man who hit her was long gone. A drop of liquor made the rain from her eyes start. Don't worry now, she never worries, she is calmed by the sand beneath her toes and the crushing of waves. The waterfall made her calm once more.

That is her story of Blue.

Thank you.

Footsteps Echo.

Through the darkness we travel over a thousand miles
Our legs are getting weak with every step into this cave
One more step makes the pain feel like a phantom leg
It is just there making each step with no thought of why
You try to stop, but you carry on through
No Going back
We can't go back
We will walk on



-Found this yesterday while searching through some piano repertoire. I think I must have written this back in January. I don't remember writing it though. I also wrote some chord progressions for it back then. We will see what it sounds like. Interesting.

Patterns That Form

Through the grass
Through the trees
Through the valley
Through the stream
I ran away

Through the grass
Through the trees
Through the valley
Through the stream
I cried

And the grass
was supposed to be green that day
The day you said you would come by
But I stand here waiting, wishing, hoping
For you

And this tree lay here as it did last year
It swayed in the air to the beat of the wind
And I felt like you were here

This valley lay deep and still
And I remember we ran through
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
In love for the first time

the stream we always crossed by your house
We held hands while running away
The two of us were so in love
The two of us were so in love
Yes, the two of us were so in love
The two of us were so in love
We Sang
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Through the grass
Through the trees
Through the valley
Through the stream
I ran away

Through the grass
Through the trees
Through the valley
Through the stream
I cried

This life was our start
Till death we did part
And I
I'll always love you


(It has the feeling of the music from Juno along with a touch from Iron & Wine. If I have time, I might record it soon)

Sleep.

A melody of silence is all I can offer
A song that speaks of peace
Once night time comes, it is ready to see
The silence with our own ears

We yearn
To sing

The darkness floats among a reverie
Dreaming is time to feel the sound
While we gently sleep in silence
Keep us still

We yearn
To sing

Slip away into this orchestration we have created
Every tone is the exact way it should be
This masterpiece is all in our heads
Let us continue to sleep in silence

We need
To sing

(to be free)

I Can See, But Would Rather Not.

It's this mirrored image that comes faster
Further away is not enough to tell
The difference between thoughts of old
To the thoughts of new
Even through your eyes

When these eyes meet
It as if it was a flight towards distant shores
But now, the only thing holding us back
Is the time it takes to tell what is right and what is wrong

Come back next August
So I remember what it felt like
Cold memories will slip away
It is better this time
Let it be the last time
That these eyes say
"Goodbye"

It's this mirrored image that traces the steps of another
Spiral downwards towards a stream that longs to be dry
Downwards through a desert that is scarred with heat
The glassy ocean will meet us where we lay at the bottom
Reaching up

Don't hold your breath
There is no more life
No more hope
No more truth
To anything
Anymore

It's the eyes that are the only lies I see

Nothing Is Bright (Anymore)

Just wait
It is just another minute away
But it can't just go on
Anymore

This red light is the only thing to see
Turn now, away from time
Still in the silence
Wrestles the peace
Just wait
It's your turn to go

Forward through the haze
Can't see anything
Or anyone
Anymore

Faster is the heart that beats
Slower is nowhere near
Come once and for all
Come
But don't turn back

Hammer through the left
Just one more breath
Then it fades away
Slowly

Just tell me one thing
Why did you do it?

Pass Until Dark

Light the places that are far gone
Ships sail, but are quick to sink
It's the ocean that breaks time
Time away from land
Light away from dry

Pictures are painted on sheets of wood
Rigid and rough thoughts might be
It is the sun that gives another day
Another painting to store
In the ocean

Colors through a wreck
Storms are quiet
but they cease to exist
they cease to become
one

Hands are no longer on deck
Overboard is the only safety
For now
Ocean is home
Home is quick to sink

Where is light now

To All Who Listen

Look forward to where you are going, not have gone
It is the strong that should be afraid
The weak has won
Shadows disperse
Light will come
We have won

It is these questions of future, not of a past
The rich are growing weary
It is the poor that will rise
Turn away the old
Joy will come
We have won

New thoughts are longed for, burn away the old
Aren't we all the same?
Whisper in ears of your brother and sister
"Together, we have won."

Now Rest

Bring the torches
Ring the bell
Silhouettes of a shadow creeps over shoulders on that distant wall
Heavy it may fall, but falls to the side as if it were true
Run and hide
Run and hide
Faster
Faster
Trip if you will, together we fall
Just don't fall to that distant wall

Light the torch
To unknown
Let's hurry
Let's hurry
Time will stop
Only for you

No going back
Please, don't go back
Forward now
Together now
Forever now

Fall through leaves

Letters upon Letters bring a brisk stillness
Ink is all that is true
Let the paper ring forth
Let the ideas go free
All is calm
For now
Return to sender
Then sign a name
In ink
Don't wait too long
Don't fade away
Come back
Next August
I wait

Walk is to Run, While Jump is to Fall.

I close my eyes tonight
But my dreams seems so far away

I want to fly away
But I am not ready to leave
the ground
I have known
for so long

And I will sleep till sunlight falls on my face
But waking up is the hardest part of dreaming

Don't.
Don't wake me up.

Kite

High, in the sky
I, I flew a kite
I smiled, once

High, in the sky
Was my dream on a string
Then it slipped away
I smiled, once
Then I ran away

High, in the sky
Was a dream I have waited for
to fly in the sky
I smiled, once
But I was shy

Let me smile once
Let me smile once

High, in the sky
My dream flew away
Never to be seen again
I smiled...once

High, in the sky
Was a choice that I made
To find who I am
I smiled, once
So I let go again

High, in the sky
I won't forget my dream
It was not meant to be
I smiled, once
Let me not forget

Let me smile once
Let me smile just this once
For this string gets away
And I want to feel happy
For the new that will come
So let me smile once
For the dream that was lost
And for the new one that has begun

High, in the sky
I, I flew a kite

It is the thoughts inside that I feel most

The scent of the night
Make things seems alright
So I will wait till the moon sets
Or the sun rise

On the front yard in your town
I will wait for you
The moonlight reflects your eyes
I remembered it clearly
The last time

When will you come home
So I can see your eyes
I remember the look
That made me feel
Life

My friend why did you leave me here
Standing in your front yard
For you are loved
For you are gone
I watched your soul
take flight

So I will wait till the moon sets
or the sun rise

For you.

The Scent of Dust Rises Inside.

Leaves Fall to the ground
As they Fade from the earth
The Leaves fall with a mind of their own
Two, Three, Four, Five, One by One they Fall
They reach the ground where hope is lost
For them, a new life has begun.

Falling, Floating, Flying downwards between heavens
After thoughtless Feelings become worthless.
Thousands upon thousands upon thousands upon thousands
Fading away before sunrise occurs.
Breaking apart Forever.

Repeating Forever
November Forever
Tomorrow diminished Forever.

Closed or Darkened

Open eyes.
For tomorrow is to come
Tomorrow already feels like today

Empty vessels
Been away for awhile
Find them and fill them new

Where to begin.

Where is the rain cloud upon this day?
For there is no single cloud
But rain falls unexpectedly

For rain fills the hearts of many
Flooding a thought
Drowning a soul
