Song-A-Week 2024 #12: Equinox

Lyrics:
[verse #1]
I feel a shifting in the tides
Change is blooming deep inside
Winter's running for the hills
The equinox a courier
Heralding a warrior
Will come and wake the daffodils

[chorus]
Melt away the permafrost
Unveil  truths that once were lost
Accepting both the sun and snow
Finding peace with letting go

[verse #2]
The sunlight gleaming on my face
The tenderness of your embrace
I’d say that sometimes life’s ok
I know that weeds do grow within
My inner garden’s bad imprint
They make a beautiful bouquet

To Athena

Lyrics:
Trying to win your approval
Always ends in my bemusement
Say you just have to be truthful
While maintaining a connection

Think before you speak
It’s that easy
And if it sounds better in my head 
Well then it must mean

I’ve got a bad case
Of foot in mouth disease
The town crier came and
Read out the decree
This dumb bitch
Will be quarantined
I’ve got a bad bad bad bad case
Of foot in mouth disease

If I try to ask forgiveness
It only draws more attention
To the way I really biffed it
They’re already on the next thing

What you don’t kill
Makes it stronger
And if that statement’s true
Well I’m a goner

I’ve got a bad case
Of foot in mouth disease
The town crier came and
Read out the decree
This dumb bitch
Will be quarantined
I’ve got a bad bad bad bad case
Of foot in mouth disease

The healer’s not taking new
Patients/patience is key to this
It might resolve on its own
Practice is treatment
I wanna run away to
Somewhere that I am unknown
But they’d still see sickly green
And they’d start throwing oh

I’ve got a bad case
Of foot in mouth disease
The town crier came and
Read out the decree
This dumb bitch
Will be quarantined
I’ve got a bad bad bad bad case
Of foot in mouth disease

Foot in Mouth Disease

I cut my finger. So I practiced automation instead of guitar.

Song-a-week #22 - 

Prompts: "Breakers" and "Little Wins"

This is a story about little wins in the breakers. 

The chorus is vaguely reminiscent of the word for "beautiful" in Spanish, but it's more playing with the sound than a real meaning, and it's not really grammatically correct enough to call it Spanish. 

It felt good to just do a simple happy song, for once!
