This track is in a draft state. It still requires a chorus that is worthy of its powerful opening. Though it works as an instrumental, I'd also prefer it to have lyrics and vocals. Get in touch if you'd like to work with me on this.

[Verse 1]
There is a beat that moves my heart
That makes me jump for joy, and start
The most wonderful things,
Played on beautiful strings -
A magic art

[Verse 2]
There is a hymn that opens doors
That makes me step out to explore
Places I’d never dared,
Sounds that I’d never heard,

[Pre-Chorus]
An enchanting spell
That I know so well

[Chorus]
And you will always be that special song
The one that makes me pause and listen
The song I’m turning up to sing along
That makes my world ring, shine, and glisten

[Verse 3]
There is a chant that warms my soul
That makes me dream, and sway, and fall
In the gent(e)lest breeze
Played on mellowest keys
A magic call

[Chorus]
And you will always be that special song
The one that makes me pause and listen
The song I’m turning up to sing along
That makes my world ring, shine, and glisten

[Bridge]
You are that song that rings my spheres
That leaves me speechless, moved to tears
You’ll be that song that fills my ears
In all these years

[Chorus]
And you will always be that special song
The one that makes me pause and listen
The song I’m turning up to sing along
That makes my world ring, shine, and glisten

That very special song

That Special Song

Lying in bed
Thinking of you
Wondering when
I'll get through
Into your heart
When I close my eyes
In the distance I see
Open skies

I dream about you
I dream about me
I dream about all
We can be
I dream, I dream
A thousand dreams
With you in
My thought streams

Traveling to
Places unknown
Wishing you're here
In this zone
Where we explore
This magical realm
With just the two of us
At the helm

I dream about you
I dream about me
I dream about all
We can be
I dream, I dream
A thousand dreams
With you in
My thought streams

Empty nights
Without you
Except when I sleep
Do you come to

I dream about you
I dream about me
I dream about all
We can be
I dream, I dream
A thousand dreams
With you in
My thought streams

I Dream

Another Open Door

Some questions don’t have answers
Waiting to respond.
Sometimes your journey takes you
To places far beyond.
Past faces in strange places
Down a rabbit hole.
Where what seemed so familiar
Is now an unknown road.

Each turn is an adventure
A new place to explore
A window in your mind
Another open door.
Another open door.

Some problems have solutions
Easy to explore.
Sometimes it’s not that simple.
There is no nearby shore.
You have to sail an ocean
Where nobody has gone
Far past known horizons
Toward an unknown dawn.

Each turn is an adventure
A new place to explore
A window in your mind
Another open door.
Another open...

In the darkness it flickers
Like a faraway star.
Where hope has been awakened
Where you are what you are.

Each turn is an adventure
A new place to explore
A window in your mind
Another open door.
Another open door.

Another Open Door

One Thing to Nothing

V1
toxic tragedies
infected innocence
bizarre behaviors
there is
no safety
there is
no savior

V2
lethal liaisons
affected ambitions
deadly delusions
there is no
no refuge
there is
no reunion

C1
one thing
can lead to
another

one thing
can change
everything….

V3
fatal finishes
viscous violence
evil explosions
there is no
no exit
there is no
no escaping

C2
one thing
can lead to
another

one thing
until there
is nothing

One Thing to Nothing

Unearthed

Lyrics: Jeffrey Walker, Copyright (c) 2022
Music: Florian Hoffmann, Copyright (c) 2022

In the water, silent, starlight gleams
Whisper softly, I walk the shore
Another midnight connection -
But this time not for sweet amour

Then hours later, a rendezvous
Perfect stranger, so unaware
No more sharing lovers' secrets
Final breath - my poisoned air

"Everybody dies," you told me so
Live for something more than hearts and flowers
"Everybody dies," you sang to me when I was young
Every day I do, I die for you

Never cared to bear a child
I never knew maternal love
The Motherland gave me affection
I pay it back in cold blood

"Everybody dies," you told me so
Live for something more than jewels and glitter
"Everybody dies," you sang to me when I was young
Every day I do, I die for you

"Everybody dies," you told me so
Live for something more than only for me
"Everybody dies," you sang to me when I was young
Every day I do - every day I do -
I die for ...

Everybody Dies
