Fragments of a dream

Forgotten: 
Well it seems we've been forgotten
In this distant place
Floating on a dead drift
Nowhere to keep us safe
Somebody's got to call the captain
Tell him we're in trouble and we need to call home
and we can tell them where the soul lives
but only for a price
Sometimes tucked behind the shadows 
Hiding from the light
But if we pierce it with the purest sound
We can share the stories on the way down

The wind was barely blowing, but I couldn't hear the voice
Like silent film with color at the fringe
We were so close to touching bottom 
They waved with crooked smiles
They threw the rope too short to pull us in

Forgotten

The White Coast

Im Coming Home

Its been 2 long years with no contact
I sleep with one eye closed
The other one's half open 
To catch em coming if they get too close
The mushroom man said to hold your ground and listen to the hills
You cant talk to the spirits friend if your body's not still
and when the Kestrel flys the final run and nods his last farewell
I'll leave them only the beautiful, oh the stories they will tell
Scatter me in the fields of green and edge of river's flow
I have no fear for whats to come when it's time to go
and I won't worry
No, I wont worry
I wont worry
No I won't worry
I'm coming home.......

I Won't Worry

2000 Miles

This might be one of my favorite songs of all time. 

Jolene (Ray LaMontagne cover)

Its Been Dying to Rain

LYRICS

Woke up to an unnerving sound
The children outside where all gone 
and the ground was neglected and I was ashamed to have been at the scene
I'm watching these people just wander around
Their eyes in a glaze, their heads to the ground
Avoiding the contact that we as the human might need

But I'm awake, I'm in love, I've got silver in my blood
I can't live forever but I'm sure as hell gonna try
and when this sun sets over my head, thats as real as it can get
I'm not dragging a life of regret to my grave

Void of the truth and some old world style
We've lost all our swagger and never get high
and wait for the moment that last breath caresses our lips

Singularity will come one day
Won't think for ourselves and the records won't play
I'll be screaming in silence just look up and look around

Cause I'm awake, I'm in love
I've got silver in my blood
I can't live forever, but I'm sure as hell gonna try
and this sun sets over my head
That's as real as it can get 
not dragging a life of regret to my grave
I'm awake, I'm in love
I've got music in my blood
I can't live forever but I'm sure as hell gonna try
and the sun sets over my head
that's as real as it can get
I'm not dragging a life of regret to my grave

I'm awake, I'm in love, I've got silver in my blood


I'm Awake

A mellow, folky track.  

Hope you enjoy......

Same Old Story

So this is my interpretation of a classic Jane's Addiction song. I tried to keep the core of the tune in terms of melody and structure but still added quite a bit to make it my own. 

Three Days ( Jane's Addiction Cover)

didn't know what to call this genre so thanks to @soundwanderer it is now Nomad Country Garage

The High and Mighty

Many thanks to these fellas for working on this one with me.   Amazing lyrics and phrasing to finish this thing off in style.

The Mirage (Featuring The Little People)

There was a ray of light burning through the silver window
Bent into a color that you and I both know
Illuminating skin scars in broad daylight
Shot across the room in the blink of an eye
I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in
I'll take these broken words stitch them together again
It's like playing god on a smaller scale
My medicine, my weapon, my solitude and fear
and I watched you
and I watched you
Silver from lead in the veins
Seems we are all one in the same
Falling through glass shards like snow

Silver window
Silver window


Silver Window

Back to the basics of songwriting.. This one is one take, one mic, aside from the backing harmony of course:  Two minutes and fifteen seconds longer than the average Soundclouder's attention span.

Lyrics:

Riding this train again
But I don't where it's going and I don't know where it ends
Running away again
Far from the trouble, the rotten and the rain
I was once a wise man
The seashore told me the way
and I had my plans all figured out to the end
and it made so much sense
now I wonder
Coming back to the world
I've been hiding in the hollows and the shadows of the fringe
Gone 30 days without words
On my own little island with the whistle of the wind
I was once a wise man
The seashore told me the way
and I had my plans all figured out to the end
and it made so much sense
now I wonder
now I wonder

Better Days Are Coming

Call it what you want

243 Days

Lyrics:

Flying up high I think you're gonna be alright
You're gonna double your luck I think you're gonna live a long life
I never wanna see you suffer
Never wanna see you let down
I'll be hanging around the corner gonna catch you when you fall down

Cuz your Fly
Simply quality
and my rock on my dark days
I'll be loving you- always
Things don't end when this is all over, we just turn the page and start this up again

Flying up high I think you're shining like a diamond
Your spirit is love and your love is like a warm wind
You keep me standing up straight when the weight is coming down on me
Your eyes light up and your taking me higher
We're just grains of sand falling through the sea

Cuz your Fly
Simply quality
and my rock on my dark days
I'll be loving you- always
Things don't end when this is all over, we just turn the page and start this up again

Flying up high I think you're shining like a diamond.....

Flying Up High

It will be a fine day when everyone can figure out how to love one another.....

It Will Be

Stars and stripes, you've lost me forever?
We've gone too far, can't find our way home
Open your eyes and fight for their future
Don't give up, our love must survive

America, you've got us running through the streets into the night
America, you're light is dimming
We're all fighting for our lives
People sick and dying
Broke, can't pay the rent
They hide their hate behind false religion
They're burning down the house we built

Hands up
Rise up
All love
Can't stop
Dont let this moment fade away

All Love- Can't Stop

When are we going
