Love Don't Have A Brain (3) (1) Epic Dreamery/ Carroll Kiphen

FRIEND WHO NEVER DIED 

I remember all your stories
Like they were told just yesterday
The mountains and the valleys
That just got in your way

Shake it like you mean it
That’s what you used to say
 And I know you wouldn’t have it . . . any other way

You remain my inspiration
On this winding road I’m on
I’ll have to take the load from here . . . now that you’re gone

Shake it like you mean it
That’s what you used to say 
And I know you wouldn’t want it . . . any other way

= INSTRUMENTAL =

Now my consolation prize
Is that you stay here deep inside
Stronger that I knew you
Like a friend who never died
Now I shake it like I mean it
Just like you used to say
Play it how I feel it . . . there is no other way

Shake it like you mean it
That’s what you used to say
And I know you wouldn’t want it . . . any other way

FRIEND WHO NEVER DIED

WHEN YOU FLY AWAY

Honey, I’m right here just a heartbeat away
And you got an endless ticket to everywhere but here
Every time we have to turn this page
I understand the bird who has to fly the cage
But oh no  . . . it’s never easy on me 

Just a little bit of magic when you look my way
And a little bit of tragic when you fly away
Long as we know, however this may go . . . I’m here tomorrow, I’m right here
 	

My feet are planted on this ground
Favourite neighbourhood is all around
So here I remain, I’ll drive you to this plane
Just remember who loves you back in this town
One more kiss before you roll into the unknown . . . 

Just a little bit of magic when you look my way
And a little bit of tragic when you fly away
Long as we know, however this may go . . . I’m here tomorrow, I’m right here

= Instrumental =

Transportation to far off places, you need to find the unfamiliar spaces 
I am more the inner traveler 
This tapestry takes time . . . mountains I still gotta’ climb


You got the stories and the pictures, from what you discover
Excitement in your eyes, just shines right through
When you get back and remind me you’re still my lover
I remember why I love you like I do
But Oh no  . . . it’s never easy on me

Just a little bit of magic when you look my way
And a little bit of tragic when you fly away
Long as we’re sure, this love can endure . . . until tomorrow, I’m right here 
Little bit of magic when you look my way
And a little bit of tragic when you fly away
Long as we’re sure, this love can endure . . . until tomorrow, I’m right here

Destination Unknown

Collab with Carroll Kiphen, early stage. One take on my little campfire guitar during FAWM Jul 2023

Lyrics by Carroll Kiphen
Music by Jase

If I had a rocket ship
Verse
If I had a rocket ship
I'd blast free of this earth.
I'd escape this madness
before it gets much worse.
If I had a rocket ship
I'd sail right past the moon.
I'd take along my guitar
So, I could play for you.
Chorus
I'd sing you a lullaby.
I'd write an ode to earth.
I'd sleep among the stars
And explore the universe.
I'd write my own epitaph
to carve upon my grave.
If I had a rocket ship
I'd make my great escape.
Verse
If I had a rocket ship
I'd find the perfect place.
A new world with an Eden
far, far away in space.
If I had a rocket ship
I'd escape this cell.
I'd find a way to escape
From this sedated hell.
Bridge
The stars are in the ceiling paint,
the rockets in my mind.
The doctors draw the curtains
And open up the blinds.
The straps are there for safety
At least that's what they say.
I think there're there to hold me
So, I don't float away.

If I Had A Rocketship

Another Open Door

Some questions don’t have answers
Waiting to respond.
Sometimes your journey takes you
To places far beyond.
Past faces in strange places
Down a rabbit hole.
Where what seemed so familiar
Is now an unknown road.

Each turn is an adventure
A new place to explore
A window in your mind
Another open door.
Another open door.

Some problems have solutions
Easy to explore.
Sometimes it’s not that simple.
There is no nearby shore.
You have to sail an ocean
Where nobody has gone
Far past known horizons
Toward an unknown dawn.

Each turn is an adventure
A new place to explore
A window in your mind
Another open door.
Another open...

In the darkness it flickers
Like a faraway star.
Where hope has been awakened
Where you are what you are.

Each turn is an adventure
A new place to explore
A window in your mind
Another open door.
Another open door.

Another Open Door

It's True Mix01(1)

I've had this little piece hanging around for a while so I decided it was high time I got it recorded before I forget about it!

Written, recorded, played, engineered and produced by me at IronJay Studios between January and May 2024.

No AI was used in production of the music, but the image was created by me using leonardo.ai
