Ballads, Songwriter, Hip Hop - Dave Heffner

Who I've Become

Arianna Rader sings this ballad about the need for meditation in our lives. Written and produced by Dave Heffner.
LYRICS
VERSE1
In the stillness
Of the moment,
The sun peeks through the trees.
The day awakens.
I think of the times
I looked, but did not see.
CHORUS1
With Love,
In Peace,
With Kindness,
And Humility.
VERSE2
As the morning
Fades behind me,
I struggle through the day.
Distractions surround me.
Temptations confound me.
I can easily lose my way.
CHORUS2
With Love,
In Peace,
With Kindness,
And Humility.

Meditation (ft. Arianna Rader)

Arianna Rader sings this song about the power of nature to reset our place in the world and to appreciate the things around us.
LYRICS
Verse1
Thunder sounds. I look to the sky.
It stirs my soul. It makes me cry.
Verse2
Wind in my face. Trees bending down.
Power around me is so profound.
Pre-Chorus
I walk to the river. My spirits high.
I feel renewed. I feel alive.
Chorus
Living. Living
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Bridge (see below)
Verse3
Day by day, not much control.
Breathe in breathe out: It calms my soul.
Verse4
Gray clouds part. The sky turns blue.
Touches my heart. I think of you.
(Pre-Chorus2)
(Chorus2)
Bridge: Part1
In the still of the night, like a sky at war,
A distant rumble, like a lion’s roar.
Clouds are gathering. Air thick and tense.
The storm begins. Let the show commence.
Part2
Raindrops fall. Rhythm on the ground.
Each clap of thunder, a primal sound.
It shakes the core. It stirs within.
The elements dance. The storm begins.
Part3
The storm moves on. Thunder fades away,
Leaving calm at the break of day.

LYRICS...  SHATTER THE IMAGE
VERSE 1
Now you’ve been told what you should be.
Get on your mark, now, we’re countin’ to three.
But in your head, you say, “Is this really me?”
And in your head, you say, “Am I really free?”
VERSE 2
An old man sits in a darkened room,
Staring out at the evening gloom.
Humming a tune, while he drinks his gin,
And heaving a sigh, as he rubs his chin.
VERSE 3
And he thinks back to his younger days,
When there was little, if any haze.
So many dreams, but where did they go?
Off to another world, that he’ll never know.
CHORUS
Shatter the image in the other man’s eye.
You’ll find out that you won’t really die.
What you’ll find are the things, you need to know.
What you’ll find are the things, you need to grow.

What could be more inspiring for a song than a beautiful fall day with a warm breeze blowing in an open window? Of course, the song should be composed at a relaxed tempo. Japanese instruments, a pan pipe, and bongo drums were added to create the right atmosphere. This song is the debut, for experienced singer and songwriter Alice Weiler, for vocals and assisting with lyrics on my compositions. Throughout this song, Alice sings harmony and multiple layers with her main vocal track. Len Cagle returns to the studio with his tenor saxophone, performing an improvisation at the bridge and playing “over” the vocal track in the second verse. This is the first time that I used an iPad for the initial creative phase of a composition. It was refreshing to have the freedom to compose away from the studio.
