Foreign Fields- What I Kept In Hiding

Hit the Ground Runnin (ft. Coury Palermo)

S. Carey - Crown The Pines

When my family moved from a townhouse to a farm way back in 2000, we got a beautiful, scruffy border terrier puppy and named her Winnie Peggle. For years, she would lie quietly by the window whilst I worked on songs and ideas on the piano. If she didn't like what I was working on, she'd let out a yawn, stretch her legs, and waddle off back to her bed. She was the sweetest music critic I've ever encountered.

Last week, after numerous health problems, she passed away peacefully at the grand old age of 13 and has left a huge hole in our family home. I started working on this piece a couple of weeks ago and finished it on the night she died so it seemed only appropriate to dedicate it to our much missed tiny bear. 

Hope y'all like it x

All the World's Asleep

Song drifts between poetry and melody — a reflective folk ballad where fragile vocals and acoustic warmth meet soft strings and introspection.
Like embers fading in the dawn, it meditates on mortality and beauty — on the way our lives flare and vanish like fireworks in the night.
Gentle, haunting, and deeply human.

Butterflies of the night

A quiet song about the ones who get away — and the memories that never do.
Perdita tells the story of a man who once loved a girl named Sarah. She disappeared from his life years ago, and he kept her alive in his mind as “Perdita,” the lost one. When he meets her again, he realizes she was never truly lost — just living, as we all do, in another chapter.

LYRICS
(c)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[Verse 1]
We were young and wide-eyed then,
Dreams came easy, nights had no end.
She left one fall, reality unkind,
Just her laughter in my mind.

[Chorus 1]
Perdita… where did you go?
Lost to the years, the ebb and flow.
Some hearts return, some drift away,
Perdita… you still know the way.

[Verse 2]
Time rolled on, I learned to stand,
Held new love with steadier hands.
But in the dark I’d hear her song,
A name that still could pull me strong.

[Chorus 2]
Perdita, my only song,
I hum your name when nights get long.
The world moved on, but I still stay,
Perdita… my heart’s delay.

[Bridge]
Another town, another start,
Coffee break, a beating heart.
And there she was — not lost, not flame,
Just living life beneath her name.

[Verse 3]
It was Sarah, that’s her real name,
Talked of kids, her voice the same.
As she turned, I felt it fade —
Perdita never walked away.

[Final Chorus]
Perdita, I set you free,
You were never lost, just memory.
We both grew up, we found our way,
Perdita… I’m okay.

Perdita

~ Lyrics

They sing, they whisper
In every corner of my brain
They lie, speaking truth
What is what is hard to tell

But I let them play for a while, for a while
When silence falls I hear them call, hear them call

They're loud, distracting
Filling up the emptiness
For now they're what I need
They're better than the loneliness

So I let them play for a while, for a while
As silence falls I hear them call, hear them call

Voices in my head

In Hiding
