Excellent songwriting, perfectly performed, Annie.

Very sweet. I enjoy it so much, restrained but exuberant if that's possible. Big smile on my face while listening.  Keep it up AnnieRay!

Gorgeous Annie, the Uke accompaniment suits this so well 👌😁

Everything that lives in this world
Make your own flowers bloom to disperse
Spring when the storm blows
Summer when the sun shines

The earth turns
do re mi fa so la ti do
Put us on and keep spinning

We earthlings who have forgotten even the name of God
Autumn when light rain soaks into your body
Snowstorm hits the body
Freezing winter

The earth turns
do re mi fa so la ti do
Put us on and keep spinning

The earth turns
do re mi fa so la ti do
Still turns
Keep spinning

This is your arm Steve

When goodbye seems forever and forever lasts a day. Until goodbye is forever and those days just fade away.

One Last Goodbye

I grew up listening non-stop to Ray Conniff, Bert Kaempfert, Henry Mancini and other easy listening orchestras. My parents had no mercy.

Here We Are Once Again (Musac Elevator Version)

Sakkara

In My Veins

I danced beside blue oceans 
dangling feet in its calmest tides
but then the wind marched in
a menace
so I crossed the line
yea I’m off maritime 
and I’m prone to drift on salty breezes 
gently waving like I’m with the sea
so far away from me 
and 

Some things aren’t meant to be 
and the oceans are getting bluer 
getting rough and tasting bitter
and that reminds me 
that the sea is a part of me 
maybe I could part the sea 
like its been parting me
yea
I crossed the line 
yea
and I’m off maritime 
well 

I’m no sailor 
could be mermaid could be reef
cause that’s the sea in me
and I’m no killer I’m no thief
still getting all that grief
just a salty sea
bathe us in its blue 
yea
I crossed that line

Off Maritime

Inspired by a micropoem written by Warren on Twitter. The verse was: What is a soul / but a whole / who needs filling

The rest of the song wrote itself. :)

WHAT IS A SOUL

here's a story of the soul
one that lives deep in our core
oft mistaken as the heart or the gut
some are older than the rest 
but they bring out all our best
if we listen with our mouth shut tight

if we didn't have this flesh and bone
it's what we would have left to show

what is a soul but a whole that needs filling?
what is a soul but a wall that needs painting? 
it's in you, and it's in me, it tells us who we should be
if we know, we should go where it goes
what is a soul?

if you ask me about the shape
or the colors or how it's made
I don't have the answer, I don't know what to say
all I know's we have it 
some of us ignore it
'cause we're told it's in the mind, all the time

if we didn't have this flesh and bone
it's what we would have left to show

what is a soul but a whole that needs filling?
what is a soul but a wall that needs painting? 
it's in you, and it's in me, it tells us who we should be
if we know, we should go where it goes
what is a soul?
what is a soul?
what is a soul?
what is a soul?

Entends, ma chère, entends la douce Nuit qui marche.
