Words of Light (demo)

Sundried queen,
Eyes above,
Song of tongue,
Spoken light.

Change of heart,
Glimpse of you,
Eastern Star,
Gleam of truth.

Rainbow bridge,
Wisp of life,
Builders grave,
Daylight hides.
Silver spade,
Darkened nights.

Crown of salt,
Maidens tool,
King of Wands,
Phoenix plume.

Foolish sea,
Masters bell,
Lonely hymn,
Stone of youth.

Natures wings,
Golden veil,
Diggers tune,
Wooden nail.
Emerald charm,
Gods Affair.

Newfound Light (Demo)

Black Bean Blues Jam (Demo)

Blazing star, I call for you
I turn my flesh unto your warmth 
Yet, I am taken by surprise 
Left to question my life

Lonely nights, I'd call for you
I give my heart unto your light 
Here I stand once again, looking
Through the clouds up in the sky 

As I face the east,
I reach for you.
Wherever you may be,
I love you.

Blazing Star (Demo)

long story short I recorded this and lost half of it (which was originally the whole song)i magically got it back after already trying to attemt to record it a second take so i fused them and it came out well 

From Out the Outer

(made the song and lyrics basically about myself in a vision of a brighter life without drugs and is basically an inspirational/motivational  song to myself something to remind me that i'm in control. i was sober when i wrote this whole thing and remember feeling that the lyrics felt so right even tho i believe them to be a bit cheesy they just belonged..."youre loves alot like mine" refers to me comparing that the worlds gentle peace is alot like mine) 

Today's my day
im gonna find a way
to kick back by the river 
and waste my time away,
oh your loves a lot like mine

dont worry bout' the past
everything comes inside,
the more that you think 
that the good times wont last
oh, the more you will cry

if only, 
you knew...
how it feels so true
not to mention the greatest part
is that i'm apart of you

oh how it feels so true

fell opened onward mine
captured the moments through wayward flight
faltered between the lines
made my choices along the ride
i caught a glimpse with my eyes
over and over
a forewarned goodbye

I'm Sold/No Translation

the last beautiful farewell track to this album. it was fun while it lasted. i truthfully feel like iv done it all to wrap around the concept and sound im going for in this. iv used every kitchen tool i can think of for the percussion which to me, is the most important part of the album that makes it what it is.  i kept this one simple to give it a personality of its own on the album along with its predecessor "language exchange" the song.  Though its short, i still feel like it packs a pretty good punch for the last track. Track 5\




For The Record

Dlspinnyardjazz

sleight of light  demo album track 3. 

swirls of lesser intimate 
thoughts appearing thick or thin, 
gets you through the night again somehow

the moments arrived 
closer to you, closer to i

who do i turn to?
where can i look where can i find

I give my life to you girl
to only be taken as a fool
and i wonder where youll be
i wonder where youll go
through your sorrow
today or tomorrow

endless cycles cross your mind
questions circle, open rhyme   
gets you through the night again, somehow

the moments arrived
closer to you, closer to i

how can I trust you?
Where can i look where can i find.

Through The Night

It's been a long year.  Moments i'll never forget. My intention for this classic christmas tune arrangement was a slow, sad - yet, eventful jingle with mysterious tonal wonder and beauty with a joyful twist between expressions. it truly speaks for itself. Happy holidays everyone.
This is the first piece i've ever reharmonized before. I tried my best thank you so much.
