I Was Always There feat. Heather Hsieh

Bring Me Life - David Wurden (music),  Gary Hayward (lyrics and Vocals)

I start a new project from scratch. I try to mix my progressive rock influences with electronic sound to create a kind of original mix. It is quite difficult to select a specific genre for me but I hope to create a good feeling to my listener.

Initiation

Discovery

I wrote this music at a time when I was going through a difficult time. I had never lost hope. I had never been weak in faith. I knew that I would find my way and I would find it.

Lyrics:
Weather’s been dreary, body is weary,
Now the heavy days are draggin’ on,
Feeling alone ‘cause your lover has gone off without you.
Wonderin’ will you feel an end to the chill and,
Now the doctor thinks that somethin’s wrong,
Lookin’ ahead makes you linger in bed with a dark view.

Just gimme a call before your pillow gets damper,
Abandon it all like a happy camper,
Share our song, you know we’ll never go wrong.
Here are tickets to the sunniest weather,
Pour a drink and we’ll wing it together,
We’ll be fine, ‘cause friends are for all time.

You know you feel off, you think you’re gettin’ a cough,
And your mood is sinkin’ lower by the day.
You’re bein’ dramatic, it’s psychosomatic, I’m quite sure.
The evening news is addin’ to your blues,			
‘Cause it tells you that the gloom is gonna stay,
Startin’ to cry and you’re wonderin’ why you see no cure.

Just gimme a call before your pillow gets damper,
Abandon it all like a happy camper,
Share our song, you know we’ll never go wrong.
Tickets to, the sunniest weather,
Pour a drink and we’ll wing it together,
Life is fine, ‘cause friends are for all time.

Oooh, oooh, now the sun is fillin’ up our days,
Oooh, oooh, driftin’ together in a multi-coloured haze.  Woh-ho-hoooo  
             
Instrumental with ba-ba-ba’s…

Oooh, oooh, now the sun is filling' up our days,
Oooh, oooh, floatin’ together in a multi-coloured haze.  Oh-ho-hoooo  

Just gimme a call before your pillow gets damper,
Abandon it all like a happy camper, 
Share our song, you know we’ll never go wrong.
Tickets to, the sunniest weather,
Pour a drink and we’ll wing it together,
Love is fine, but friends are for all time.
Love is fine, but friends are for all time.

Words:

Fire serpents and dragons are stirring 
Deep down in the hard, cold iron of Earth. 

Slithering land wights are waking, 
And wriggling and stretching, 
Woken from their sleep by the return 
Of the song of the Sun, 
Its melody singing all dreamers awake,
To light the cauldrons and fasts to break. 

Lady Slipper yawns and opens her petals 
To a bold west wind ruffling her labellum.
Thunderclouds above ominously threaten. 

An ash in full livery, its leaves right on time,  
Stands next to the winter-nude of an oak. 
So the old wives mutter in iambic rhyme,
“Ash before oak, we’re in for a soak.” 

Great Spotted Woodpecker drills Mars’s drum 
In a military tattoo, to marshall the bugs,
The soldier beetles and bark-gnawing weevils, 

Now Luna turns russet red in Earth’s umbra, 
A covenant of balmier days without number. 

Wyrm moon, Cold moon, Sap Moon
Pulling on the tides, rising 
And not just in the flooded rhynes, but 
Coursing up the loins of men too, 
Their reveries of love fine-tuned 
To Jack in the Green’s reciting 
To the tremolo thrill of Pan’s piping

Labyrinth Spider stands guard on the dell, 
While Salamanders ring the bluebells 
To peal out harsh winter’s fare-thee-well. 

Pixie-cup lichen arrives in the Vale, 
And elves riding turkeys with blue ruffled tails
Then ... Amanita Muscaria sings her aria, 
And Cuckoo tells us Spring is finally here.

Lyrics by Brin:

Tasting the blade of all his mistakes
And I know I should not go
I am following in the path of his sin
And I know I should not follow

Bitter berries on the vine
Bring me back there every time.
Turning words into a road.

Blade is cutting my tongue
Leaving bitter hurt for everyone.
I don’t want this life anymore.
Blade is cutting my tongue
Leaving bitter hurt for everyone.
I don’t want this life anymore.

Learning how to harbor hate
I don’t know what else to say
All my words into arrows.
Blade is cutting my tongue
Leaving bitter hurt for everyone.
I don’t want this life anymore.

Sanctuary

Left here brokenhearted
Beneath the falling rain
Can someone save me?

Across the great divide
The chasm opens wide
All seems lost

Thrown against the wall
Who will break my fall
I’m on my knees

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal
Home

Now I stand alone
Holding up my hands
The sky is falling

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal
Home

Sanctuary!
Sanctuary!
Your kingdom’s not
Of this world

Sanctuary!
Sanctuary!
Through grace death
holds no mastery

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal
Home
