Grape Juice by alynford & @not_boat

It's not the end of the world
Anyway wouldn’t we
Shake it off with a handshake
Seek to set right
What’s been upset
Take back the dumb things we wish so badly we hadn’t said
Maybe we misinterpreted
Easily turned to hurting them
Got me wondering…

Have I ever been right?
No no no
To be wrong
Or to be alone your whole life?
Just wait, I’m ok
I’ll be fine, hush
Let it go
Til you’re not bleeding anymore
Have I ever been right?
No no no
I guess that I held on a little too tight
Rush, tug fate delicate
Timelines touching
Heaven’s gold
You’re gonna leave here on your own
Stay loving

Have I ever been right?
No no no
Fault’s location won’t
Keep me up at night
No way, saying stay
Don’t leave, don’t go
If you squeeze your grape juice box
It stains your clothes
Have I ever been right?
No no no
Now that you’re gone
Wish I’d been wrong the whole time
So pray but they may still have to go
Everything ends
Especially what matters most

What will they say when they see?
I’ve already ruined my brand new t-shirt
What will they say on Monday?

Not much juice
will find your mouth
Lately I’ve been finding out
Death grip sends it flying out
Seems like I’m still finding
I’ll take my lifetime learning how
When will I?

Oh when will I learn?
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I try
Raining grape juice
stains my clothes
Heaven knows I try
Stains my clothes

Have I ever been right?
To be wrong
Or to be alone your whole life?
Just wait
Have I ever been right?
Hush, let it go
Have I ever been right?
I guess that I held on a little too tight
Squeezing
I’ll be fine
Leaving

Grape Juice feat. string cheese

Lyrics are provided for all songs and reading them while listening is a great way to enjoy my music. I float around genres and love hard hitting, edgy music if it’s also emotional and beautifully melodic. Like some of these favourites of mine: brakence, Panic At The Disco, Ellie Goulding, Cosette, Emily Millard.
Original drummer of Canadian metal band "The Afterimage".

I play piano and guitar and love collaborating; pretty much all of my songs were created collaboratively in some way and I am exceedingly grateful for the many talented and kind friends God has given to me through music. As any of them would tell you about me, I value originality and strive to extract, embrace and enhance all that makes me and my music unique while trying to grow my skill in any and all areas of music always. My collaborators have encouraged me and pushed me to be far better than I ever thought I could be and I’m ecstatic over the quality of music I make now which never would have been possible by myself. Thank you so much everyone who has made music with me; I can’t tell you how much your efforts and fellowship do for me.

If you haven’t heard my music before I tend to write passionate songs with deep, poetic lyrics heavily riddled with alliteration and coloured with careful word choice. It’s not so much a place I seek to paint and then immerse the listener in with my music but more like the emotional imprint of your own memories. I feel deeply both pleasant and painful feelings and more so again as they are fed by their contrast with the other. The goal of Alyn Ford music has always been to sting a bit unexpectedly but in the hopes that good may come of it somehow. Much of my music is written about one individual in my life who embodies what I wanted to my music to be long before we ever met. Someone who can’t bear to look but too brave to look away. These songs tell of her story and of mine while some tell stories of my collaborators; these are special to me. Whichever song you listen to I hope above all that it is your own story that you hear. My songs carry a message but I would rather you interpret them yourself and form your own and the one you need to hear. Thanks for listening.
