Instrumental I made for FAWM this morning

Collab for FAWM2024
I created the music and Doug Haberman wrote the lyrics.

Abby, come home
The baby’s crying
Crying all the time
Your absence is too crushing
He wants your tender loving
He’s yours
Just as much as mine
Abby, come home

Abby, come home
We’re eating baked beans
Cold out of the can
Mia’s dying to see you
She says she really needs you
This hurts
Can’t you understand?
Abby, come home

The words you wrote still echo in my mind
You said you weren’t wishing on a star
You had to seek, seek so you could find
Find out at last who you really are

Abby, come home
Stop being selfish
Leaving was plain wrong
Life isn’t just about you
We’re incomplete without you
This house
Is where you belong
Abby, come home

abby come home (w/Doug Haberman)

Music and Lyrics ©2024 Ed Smaron Music

You're only three feet away
On this semi-vacant CTA
You gaze into my eyes
As I externalize
My thoughts as best I can
Before you get away
Might as well be shouting from California
I said "hello" and you said "huh?"

We're barely three feet apart
I try to pour out my heart
I'm staring right at you
But nothing's getting through
Your barrier of sound
As I waste another Cupid dart
They can probably hear me in California
I said you were beautiful, and you said "huh?"

I think you're a little bit of heaven
But I think I'm gonna have to take the volume
up to eleven

We're practically nose to nose
I continue spewing my most creative prose
But your continued reaction
Is not one of attraction
or "Darling, you're so sweet,"
It's "Can you please repeat?"
She got off the train at California
I yelled "I love you," and she said "huh?"
I said "I love you," and she said "huh?"

I Said 'I Love You," and You Said "Huh?"

Bleeding
© Morten Maehre, 2024

Too many regrets
And a drunken tattoo
Framed pictures of her
From when dreams were true

Kicked like a can at the side of the road
I’m down and I’m mostly out
I’ll take some blows and carry a load
But sometimes I just want to shout

Chorus:
I close my eyes and all I see
Is an image of me dangling from a tree
Enough is enough if you ask me
I’m bleeding
I’m bleeding
I’m bleeding

I don’t need religion
To be sweet and kind
And no damn priest
Can change this ol’ mind

Somebody loves you, I hear people say
That’s part of the problem for me
If nobody did I would just fly away
If nobody did I’d be free

Chorus

bleeding - collab w/Morten Maehre

1.8 million dollars

Something makes me feel this investigation is about to change

one drop of blood

What do you feel when I look into your eyes

willow dance

dreaded news

A heartfelt new piano-based song I hope to sync somewhere.

Stay

V1
looks like time has stopped/like the bomb has dropped
in the silence i whisper your name
here i hide my face/here i run in place
thru a haze of confusion and blame

pre CH 
you and i gonna play it smart
hearts together hands apart

CH 
times are uncertain but i’ll never stray
i’ll make sure you're near me from miles away
we’ll hold on tight to the hope of an upcoming day
till then we’ll just stay

V2 
keep your distance child/panic’s running wild
a society trembles with fear
thru uncertainty/turn to look for me
and know that i’ll always be here

CH

V3 
stand up tall and fight/we’ll get through the night
from a distance i’m right by your side
once we see it through/it’s just me and you
with our hearts and our hands open wide

CH

Stay
