Simon Joyner - Live In The Moment

Liquor

Elsewhere's my love letter to the virtual world!

Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNwa00vJng

Lyrics:
Aching to find myself elsewhere
Elsewhere that no one's found
Searching the stars and the great blue sky
Searching for somewhere to fly.

Aching for someone to love me
Someone that I can hold
If you want to dance and to sing by my side
Then I won't be so alone

Somewhere that I'm supposed to be
Somewhere that we can be free
Finding a river of gold
Somewhere that we can be hold

I'm feeling lost in a day dream
Dreams that are rarely warm
I once new a place with a brighter sun
But I wake up and I know that it's gone

Somewhere that I'm supposed to be
Somewhere that we can be free
Finding a river of gold
Somewhere that we can be hold

Aching to find heart elsewhere
Elsewhere that no one's found
We'll get to walk through the great unknown
This new place we'll call home

This new place we'll call home.

Elsewhere (feat. Starheart)

River cutting stone
River running home 
As my ashes turn to dust
I'll know where to turn
And what to trust

River running home 
I just feel it in my bones
Don't know why I know I must
I'll just keep going until I'm lost

Murandu - River Running Home

This is the story of the rise and the fall.

(revised version) Here's a nice cover of Paul Simon's "Overs" written in 1968. Because the internet lets us create music with friends from anywhere in the world. My old music partner from the late 70's Leigh Stanley who lives in Michigan, sent me his guitar track and I added my vocal part. I always loved this song. Just guitar and vocals.

Whispers Of Remembrance - Improvised Piano Piece

Learning How To Love Me
(May 7/Week 44)
CAPO 5 F, C, Am, G
5.13.23

VERSE
every day i get to decide
the clothes on my body
and the words inside my mind 

when did i start telling myself lies 
of all the things to think 
why am i unkind 

PRE
push and fight
strike a match to burn out every time 
i know i’m not far behind
but my mind tells me otherwise 

CHORUS 
yeah i’m learning to love me
learning how to talk 
like i’m my best friend
calling when she’s lost 

i’m learning how to listen (soften)
when shes being hard 
saying all the things
that i knows shes not 

yeah i’m learning how to 
love love me
learning how to
love love me

VERSE
i’m standing tall 
i’m standing up high 
watching my thoughts like clouds in the sky 
and i know that it gets cold when the suns gone 
but i can always dance and let the storm rage on 

CHORUS 
yeah i’m learning to love me
learning how to talk 
like i’m my best friend
calling when she’s lost 

i’m learning how to listen (soften)
when shes being hard 
saying all the things
that i knows shes not

and i’m learning all her triggers
all the ways she copes
when she’s in the dark 
picking up her phone 

and when it gets hard
to like what i see
i remind myself 
i’m just learning
yeah learning how to 

yeah i’m learning how to 
love love me
learning how to
love love me



to face herself 

 but my mind likes to tell me otherwise
