Wrote and produced in the last 24 hours.  Inspired by my subconscious desire to be conspicuous.

Your Name is the Sound of A Door Creaking Open

LYRICS

Acting my age is just a phase
the assumptions that set the stage
to never ever earning a thriving wage
'cause I've learned to love my cage
...but change after change will expand my range, will expand my range
I'm amazed that I'm still hanging 'round here for days

Late bloomer, you could have blossomed sooner
Oh it's so good, so good to have a sense of humor
Don't believe your own words
That's just what you heard
Just fly like a little bird in some kind of rapture
The future has occurred
It's honest and pure

Someday

A bellow in my lungs will croon you a tune
About falling in love for a woman on the moon
I will tie myself to a thousand balloons
Without a parachute, into a howling monsoon.

LYRICS:
I belong, I sing our longing song, of shadows trying to see the sun who appear to be gone.  If I'd learn who I was I'd learn who I'm among!

I'm insane.  So insane, always the same.  Until I called it by a different name.
I'll entertain.  I'll take the blame, when I feel ashamed you can call me by a different name.  You play your game, when you feel the same on some bandwagon train under a different name.

My identification changes!  I'm both particle and wave!

I wave, wave a magic wand.  I cast out the spells that break the stillness of the pond.  All these ripples reach you like the ticking of a bomb.  On and on, until the early dawn, try to understand it all 'cause I think my life is long.  Might be the only thing I learn is I was wrong.

Different Name

Snooze/Light

A new song written on and off over the last few months.  Written, performed and produced by Ariel Touhey.  Allen Andrews on most of the guitar and some of the synth.  Joslyn Brown as the angelic siren on the rocks heard at the end.   Much love everyone.  Stay safe out there, wherever you may be.
