Another set of really strong lyrics on this ballad. The timing is off leading into the Oh's is awesome. A good one Cristhopper.

This is beautiful, Christopher!! Thank you. Do you ever write with others?

A delicate and touching song, with rich conversational elements to the lyrics. Lovely sound on the keys.

such a stirring chord progression, reminds me of a mix of "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen) and then "Mad World" in the other part (in a cool, non-stealing, inspired sort of way).  Lovely song, your touch on keyboard always feels just right in your songs paired with your voice.  Bien hecho compa!

Those chord changes in the lead in to the chorus are wonderfully different!

Beautiful chords and melody, cristopper, and an unexpected harmonic twist around the "in his mind" section. Excellent!

Love the keychange(s) and all the playful elements. I like your voice a lot! Well done!

I feel so lucky to have heard this first on a live stream, it's captivating in both settings but that was especially powerful. Your lyrics and delivery are superb, so crisp and evocative.

The ninth tale of Snow and Cherry

When souls collide

love is the answer
to the pain in your soul, she said
what you're looking for
you won't find it in here

well, I don't believe it, he said
what if you're wrong, you know,
you've been wrong before
you don't know me at all

in his mind
her words
sting like a paper cut
if she's right
all he's known comes tumbling down

love is a journey, she points
and I'm getting off, he scorns
what makes you so sure?
well, I don't care anymore

In her heart
she knows
this is a story of when
the person's right
but the timing is off

oh oh the timing is off oh oh

love isn't easy
but it's worth the fall, I heard
the pain is assured
but the heartbreak is a choice

I know now
this is a story of 
when souls collide
but the timing is off

they might not meet again, that's right
but will never forget

on oh oh life goes on
