So nicely done - great sound and message!

I like this songwriting - Good lyrics and good flow. Pleasant listening here.

This tune was popularised by Whitney Houston in 1985. Performed by me on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard. 

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: https://www.harveytwyman.com

=================
Immortality isn't really about defeating death, it's a way of living with no regard for the reality of death. Just like youth is wasted on the young it seems to me that only the young really get to experience immortality. For a while.

I used to be immortal
I remember it very well
I had no fear of dying
Not as far as I could tell
I had no doubt that I would live forever
Knew the day I'd die cuz that would be never
I had endless time for any endeavor
I knew everything cus I was so clever

Verse 2:
Way back in the day
I thought I knew an awful lot
I guess I got away with it
At least I didn't get caught
I was lucky, hanging by a thread
I lived to tell the tale, I didn’t end up dead
Somehow I became a man you see
By surviving, my immortality  

Chorus:
I lived through the never dying
Not for the lack of trying
But I got older and the time got short
Life got a hold on me
Years went by I wasn’t looking 
They got away from me, then   
One day like it or not I lost    
My immortality

Verse 3:
It’s not 'bout what you remember
About me when I’m gone
It’s not about hanging on
On and on and on and on
It’s the way I found myself living
It seemed there wasn't any other way to be
If life was only going to be temporary
Why should I give up..... my immortality

Chorus:
I lived through the never dying
Not for the lack of trying
But I got older and the time got short
Life got a hold on me
Years went by I wasn’t looking 
They got away from me, then   
One day like it or not I lost    
My immortality

Verse 4:
Looking back I sometimes miss
How danger used to be my very best friend
I guess it made me feel more alive
Feeling life was never ever going to end
These days I watch all the new immortals
Trying out all the different ways to be
And I really hope they survive
                   Their immortality   
And I really hope they survive
                   Their immortality

Saline is Dead Hazards' debut LP featuring 13 songs that play with themes like disillusionment and detachment and hold sounds ranging from raw sludge to rock-operatic passages. Saline brings a mixture of fuzz, colliding melodies, and low strings wrapped in melancholy, with a nod to 80s-90s heavy metal and alternative.

"Paper Prayers" is a gentle acoustic pop track about the vulnerability of hope. It captures the feeling of sending your deepest wishes out into the universe, unsure if anyone is listening, but doing it anyway.

(Verse 1)
I’ve got a notebook full of scribbles under my bed
Things I couldn't say, so I wrote them down instead
Ink stains on my fingers, tears on the page
Trying to break out of this silent cage
I fold them up into tiny little planes
And fly them out the window into the rain

(Chorus)
These are my paper prayers
Caught on the wind, going nowhere
But maybe they’ll land in the palm of a hand
That can finally understand
I’m sending them up, I’m letting them go
To the sky above from the world below
Just paper prayers, fragile and thin
But that’s how the healing begins

(Verse 2)
I wrote one for forgiveness, I wrote one for the past
I wrote one for the moments that went by too fast
"Dear God, if you're reading, I’m sorry for the mess"
Is usually how I start every single address
It’s cheaper than therapy, safer than speech
Putting the secrets just out of my reach

(Chorus)
These are my paper prayers
Caught on the wind, going nowhere
But maybe they’ll land in the palm of a hand
That can finally understand
I’m sending them up, I’m letting them go
To the sky above from the world below
Just paper prayers, fragile and thin
But that’s how the healing begins

(Bridge)
Maybe the rain will wash the words away
And turn them into something new today
Maybe the ink will bleed into the ground
And grow a flower where no hope was found

(Chorus)
These are my paper prayers
Caught on the wind, going nowhere
But maybe they’ll land in the palm of a hand
That can finally understand
I’m sending them up, I’m letting them go
To the sky above from the world below
Just paper prayers, fragile and thin
But that’s how the healing begins

(Outro)
Fly away, fly away
Paper prayers on a rainy day
Fly away...
(Fade out with acoustic guitar picking)

Paper Prayers

This is a soft piano flavored track but with HARD drums to harden up the softness.

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
