One Lonely Summer (2013)

You sing softly
While I drift to sleep
You al-ways knew 
How to get to me...
I cry softly
When we say good bye
You al-ways knew
How to lie....
Your green eyes will be (my demise)
All this time I can't seem to find
(You)
[And so tell me something
I don't already know
Your-so -guilty, trembling
Wondering where you'll go..
Just don't tell me, something
That I already know 
I'm so EMPTY, shaking
I don't want you to go....]
We dance slowly
In between the lines
You can't hold me
With your alibis 
I feel nothing
Underneath this smile
Could you say something ?
I'm in denial 
Your green eyes will be (my demise)
All this time I can't seem (to find)
(You)
[And so tell me something
I don't already know
Your-so -guilty, trembling
Wondering where you'll go..
Just don't tell me, something
That I already know 
I'm so EMPTY, shaking
I don't want you to go....]

Demise (Green Eyes) **Extra Message @ End**

My latest project for film scoring class at UL. This is an atmospheric track depicting apathy. It's called "Apathy 3" simply because it was the third version of the mix and I liked it best. Please let me know what you think, and tell me what feelings (if any) this track provokes. 

APATHY 3

This is an original song that I wrote, recorded, and mixed at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for my Music Media senior recital. It was inspired by all of the unexpected hardships that I've encountered thus far, in my pursuit of becoming a musician. Thank you for listening.

*LYRICS*
"Six Eight"
I still remember the days
I would lie there with you and watch the play fade
For the rest of my life
I would stand there alone
And wonder why....

Common sense says I'm fine 
I fell before at-least-I'm-trying
We held it out on the line
To hell with you! I'm just not buying...
Into what you're selling me
Into what you make believe 
Into what you're telling me

How could you look in my eyes?
Pull me close to you, then tell all your lies...
If love's the drug, I'm the pill
I never claimed to be your angel...
I hate what you're selling me
I hate what you make believe
I hate what you're telling me...

Wait!!!!! Why can't I breathe?
Plz don't leave!! Wait for me! X2

With all the ways that you are
I'm falling far from you and leaving a scar
If all the world was asleep 
Then why are you the one haunting my dreams????
I need what you're selling me
I need what you make believe
I need what you're telling me

Six Eight (Acoustic)

An original song that serves as everything I needed to say when I didn't say anything at all :(
Farewell.....

Belief (Unplugged)

"Drag Me Down"
She's on fire!
And I am burning out
I grasp the cold white sheets on the bed
Where she was bound...
Kiss me slow
With your poison lips
You grab the heart right out of my chest
With shaking fingertips..

Bridge:
A pretty girl, a pretty face
Wound up in this ugly place
All of their lies..

Chorus:
She won't stay through the night
Well That's alright!
I will live through this fight
Drag me down...
And all of the stars will align
And wishing wells are
All filled with nickels and dimes
You Drag me down ...

Fragile eyes
Crawl across my skin
Every time you draw near me
I breathe you in..

Bridge:
A pretty girl, a pretty face
Wound up in this ugly place
All of their lies...

She won't stay through the night
Well That's alright!
I will live through this fight
You Drag me down...
All of the stars will align
And wishing wells are
All filled with nickels and dimes
Drag me down .
[instrumental]
[She won't stay through the night
That's alright...
I will live through this fight
You Drag me down...]

Drag Me Down (Remix)

Your eyes are so perfect
Your heart beats along my chest
Your secrets are mine-to-keep
Couldn't imagine ever lettin you..... leave me

You whisper so softly
Everything you do is so sweetly
Come swinging around my heart
Don't ever let me go too far

I feel you on my skin
Even when you're half a day away
Your thoughts are so beautiful 
Couldn't imagine ever lettin you go at all

You and I sway so gently
Maybe fate has it's guarantees    
We're swimming, anywhere from here!
Barely ever gonna come back up for air...

We're swimming, anywhere from here!
Barely ever gonna come back up for air...

August rain
Erase my pain inside
And all the things she wore were burned into the night ....
Would you suggest that I'm the only one you love?
Should I pretend that I'm the one you're dreaming of??

(Bridge:)
But You! Will never let me down
And I -Ah Ah would follow you til I drown...

(Chorus)
Should I stand and watch the rain fall down?
Can I pretend that I'm the one you will lay down?

Summer rain
Tapped the window pane all night
And all the ways I looked in your eyes
I was lost....
Could I suggest that you're the only one I love??
Would you believe that you're the one I'm dreaming of??

(Bridge:)
But You! Will never let me down
And I -Ah Ah would follow you til I drown...

(Chorus)
Should I stand and watch the rain fall down?
Can I pretend that I'm the one you will lay down?
