"Hope" is a song I wrote back in 2010. It happened to be used for a local charity CD project for the crisis in Haiti. I never knew what became of that old recording, and I never got a copy, so after nearly twelve years, I've unearthed this song from the vault, brushed off the dust, and made a brand new recording. Here's to 2022, and here's hoping we can all celebrate what love there still is in the world.

LYRICS:

A heart that's never seen love in something other
Than the color red
A mouth that's never closed when everybody knows
They're only words it says
We're holding onto something
And it's killing us today
'Cause hope is just a word
We're not allowed to say

You don't have to wait for the waves now
'Cause the sun is coming out
And all our hate is just a waste now
Something we can't figure out
And if you know God, why don't you tell Him
We're not ready to go now

A child without wings when she wants to fly
With the other birds down the street
A dream without a cause will only be lost
Until the world sees
That we're holding onto something
And it's killing us today
'Cause hope is just a word
We're not allowed to say

Hope

Inspired by the season, I wrote a "Halloween" song, though I suppose it could fit any time of year. I hope everyone is staying safe and enjoying the harvest season! <3 Adrienne

Lyrics
Have you heard the story told
By the old man drinking at the still?
There is something frightful to behold
Hiding in the shadows on the hill
They say there's a beast ever-hungry
He lurks in the dark, lying low
No one returns from the mountain
I just thought you ought to know, so

Take heed, take heed
When you're heading to the east
If you're climbing up Mount Pine
His eyes, his eyes
They can find you in the night
It's too late to look behind
High up on Mount Pine

So, don't let your lantern wane
Keep your voice down low that you might hear
What could cause that chill in your veins?
Is that something near or just your fear?
They say there's no moon by the mountain
That even the stars hide away
You may be a hunter in daylight
But by the nighttime you'll be prey

Take heed, take heed
When you're heading to the east
If you're climbing up Mount Pine
His eyes, his eyes
They can find you in the night
It's too late to look behind
High up on Mount Pine
High up on Mount Pine
High up on Mount Pine
La, la, la, la
Oh, oh
I just thought you ought to know

LYRICS
I was a stranger heart
I was, right from the start
I feel a hurricane 
Build up and break my brain
After all this time a spade is just a spade
I will be long gone away before you know
This town is only full of mistakes I have made
And I don't have all that it takes to let things go
I don't wanna stay hollow, hollow
I don't wanna stay hollow, hollow

I wasn't made for this 
They were all like a first kiss
They thought they knew me
From the outside they could see
After all this time my heart is just as hard
I will be long gone away before you know
This town is only full of the things I have scarred
And I don't have all that it takes to let things go
I don't wanna stay hollow, hollow
I don't wanna stay hollow, hollow

I'm hollow, I
Don't know why
I'm hollow, I
Don't know why
I'm hollow, I
Don't know why

After all this time a spade is just a spade
I will be long gone away before you know
This town is only full of mistakes I have made
And I don't have all that it takes to let things go
I don't wanna stay hollow, hollow
I don't wanna stay hollow, hollow
(I don't wanna stay, yeah... I don't wanna stay, yeah)
I don't wanna stay hollow
I don't wanna stay
I don't wanna stay hollow, hollow

Solace In The Garden

Song: "Walk With You"
Words and music © 2024 Adrienne Frailey. All rights reserved.

Lyrics:

Bones are broken, eyes are blind
But I will walk with you
Something severed the ties that bind
But I will walk with you

You've been wearied by the rain
And now you've laid it down
No more reasons to remain
And now you've laid it down
And you lay
Lay it down
And now you've laid it down

Mothers, daughters, fathers, son
They all become the earth
Waiting for the war to be won
They all become the earth
All become
Become the earth
They all become the earth

Bones are broken, eyes are blind
But I will walk with you
Something severed the ties that bind
But I will walk with you

Walk With You

Song: "Someday You'll Understand" 
Words and music © 2020 Adrienne Frailey. 
All vocals, instruments, sound production: Adrienne Frailey 

LYRICS:
Someday
When your livin' time is through
You'll understand
What I had to do
And you'll be so glad
I didn't listen to you

You think you know it all
You haven't learned a thing
All you care to be
Is looked upon as a king
And you'd be so glad
To ride my tattered strings

You talk of me with shame
If I dare to disagree
But I won't sell my soul
To buy your pride in me
And you should be glad
For what you don't have to see

We all have a choice
You'll stand there on your own
Did you live dead or die alive?
What do you have to show?
So rejoice and be glad
That I still know
Someday
I think you'll understand
Someday
I hope... you'll understand

Someday You'll Understand

New song for a new season. Hope you like it!

LYRICS

I used to turn where the wind blows
Trying hard, but my feet just wouldn't go
And when I took my first step
I stumbled, and I crumbled you know

Life in the fast lane
The sea in a hurricane
Losing ground
There ain't no up or down, so
I'm sailing my own way
Festina lente
Taking life day by day

I wanted the world to devour me
It chewed me up and left me wandering
Thought if I gave I wouldn't have to feel
They took a lot but not everything

(Chorus)

I used to turn where the wind blows
Now I calm the storms I conjure on my own
And when these words are all that's left of me
I will leave the sea and build a better home

Festina Lente

I have always loved this melody! I hope you enjoy the arrangement. I created it with parts of both the original lyrics by Sir Harold Boulton and  the poem by Robert Louis Stevenson. I think we all have a little Jacobite in our hearts, and that spirit shall never truly die.

The Skye Boat Song - Adrienne Frailey

This is an original song I wrote when I was 17. I had a lot of dreams then. It has taken me many years to realize the dream doesn't exist in the future. It's in every day you're alive.
