For anyone who's trying to find their way home

⁓

Words
Are not enough
When I try to find a way
To speak of love
You’re the mountain
Crowning space
You’re the tiger
Full of grace

And I
I wanna come home to you
Wherever you are
Is where I’m running to
I wanna come home to you
My heart is my home
And I know that my heart
Is always with you

I feel a darkness
Coming on
The days are lonely
And the nights are long
You are on the other side 
Of the lake
Sleeping softly
While I wake

And I
I wanna come home to you
Wherever you are
Is where I’m running to
I wanna come home to you
My heart is my home
And I know that my heart
Is always with you

Don’t 
Don’t wait too long
For the Winter takes its hold
When love comes along
It is rare
And it’s bold
To be there
Dancing blindly
Through the air
You could be mine 
I could be yours
Although we are bound
For different shores

I
I wanna come home to you
Your arrow so sharp
It shot me right through
I wanna come home to you
My heart is my home
And my heart is with you
I wanna come home to you
I know that it’s hard
You travelled so far
To be what is true

How can you speak of love now?
It’s too late to start
You broke my heart

How come you smell so good now?
How come I want you more?
You let me down
What for?

Was it worth the pain you caused me?
Was she all that I lack?
All the time you were loving her
I was waiting for you to come back

How come the sun’s still shining?
You left me in the dark
You told me lies
And broke my heart

But this desire is all new
And my nerves are raw
You call my name
Louder than before
Oh it’s such a shame
That I’m not yours no more

Was it worth the pain you caused me?
Was she so special?
All the time you were loving her
I was feeling myself fall

And yet you speak of love now
How can you be sure?
You broke my heart
And how can I give you more?

You Broke My Heart

A solo acoustic cover of Joni Mitchell's 'Both Sides Now,' live at the Mile Stone Jazz Club in krakow, Poland. Recorded on the Northern Lights Tour in 2014 by Magdalena Plewa.

Both Sides Now - Live @ The Mile Stone Jazz Club, Krakow

I wanted to write a song about what love is really like when you commit to another person and you realise that you have to learn to love their flaws in order to be happy. 

Our culture is very keen on airbrushing out the uglier aspects of life, and so we grow up feeling dissatisfied with our own imperfect bodies, homes, jobs, lives. I feel like we could have a lot more fun if we could relax a bit with the disappointment of how things actually are. 

The song was recorded using one complete vocal take and one complete instrumental take with no edits. I wanted it to reach the listener as one complete, genuine expression that came from the heart.

Perfect Love

A song about dealing with the darker states of mind. Much love and gratitude to all who have helped me with mine. 

Lyrics:
Shedding my skin
For the first time
I feel ready to begin 
Unravelling
I paint it all black
Ought to know by now that the hardest attack
Is the one from within

But this is just how it is now
There's a cloud
You're allowed sometimes to feel it
But don't fight it out
Let if flow
So
Like some kind of rollercoaster ride
You don't have to keep it all inside

Give up all hope 
It's always been 
The tightest rope
That reels you in
You set yourself up
Nothing's right
And nothing's ever enough
So you keep digging

But this is just how it is now
There's a cloud
You're allowed sometimes to feel it
But don't fight it out
Let if flow
So
Like some kind of rollercoaster ride
You don't have to keep it all inside

Get it all out
You can dance
And you can sing and shout
But don't stop giving
It's so easy to crawl
Under the bottomless sea
While the world goes on living

But this is just how it is now
There's a cloud
You're allowed sometimes to breathe in
But don't fight it out
Let if flow
So
Like some kind of rollercoaster ride
You don't have to keep it all inside
