ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 263

A short solo piano piece I wrote in memory of my late Great-Grandmother (Nanny) Lilian. I took some time to sit at the piano this morning and reflect on the wonderful memories I have with her and this piece came out as a result. She always encouraged me musically and some of my earliest musical memories were visiting her as a toddler and playing on the piano.

Lyrics

I don't want to see you on Friday
I want to see you now
I don't want to see you on Friday
I want to see you now

I want to see you oooh ooh oooh Now Now Now 

I don't want to see you on Thursday
I want to see you now
Thursday is such a long long time away. 
I want to see you now

I wanna see you oooh ooh oooh Now now now!

Maybe you will 
throw your arms around me
On a Friday night
Maybe you will throw your arms around me
That would be nice
But I can't wait for Friday night.

I can't sit still 
I can't concentrate
I've got to see you now
I'm sweating like a man on a 40 degree day
I've gotta see you now

I've got to have you ooh oooh ooh Now Now Now

Maybe you will 
throw your arms around me
On a Friday night
Maybe you will throw your arms around me
That would be nice
But I can't wait for Friday night.

Wait Your Turn - Single

Wait Your Turn (Single)

Sharp, precise, intense and rhythmic composition with a tender expression, Cloud Memories is more than just a simple song, it holds complex ideas in simple lines. The dreams, memories, happiness, sadness, hopes and love of the writer towards his lost love combining with the balance of tone and phrasing gives a unique and vibrant emotion.
The song speaks for itself; sparkling inspiration from the past than drowning in memories. The rich and resonant chord progression dominate the scene as the main theme is somewhat developed. The complexity of ideas are accompanied by the melody, making it enjoyable for the listener. The idea of merging different aspects of relationship throughout the song represents the band, whose members are rooted all across the world like the roots of a plant, gathering resources and combining them into a beautiful flower that spreads the colours of music.

Looking forward to a Christmas with You
Now the kids have all grown up and they've no time for toys
It only seems like yesterday they were little girls and boys
But now our pretty birds have flown, there's only you and me
So we'll go rockin' and rollin' around that Christmas Tree

I'm looking forward to a Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas
Looking forward to a Christmas with You
I'm looking forward to a Christmas Christmas Christmas Oh Christmas
Looking forward to a Christmas with You

Now Santa Claus is on his way i see those Christmas lights
And all the little children waiting, their eyes are shining bright
Now hand in hand together we'll walk through the Winter snow
And we'll steal a kiss beneath the mistletoe

I'm looking forward to a Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas
Looking forward to a Christmas with You
I'm looking forward to a Christmas Christmas Christmas Oh Christmas
Looking forward to a Christmas with You
Play that Guitar Boy!
And all i want for Christmas is to laugh and dance and sing
and The gift of your presence and the joy that you bring

I'm looking forward to a Christmas Christmas Christmas Oh Christmas
Looking forward to a Christmas with You
I'm looking forward to a Christmas with You
Merry Christmas

One of my oldest songs, finally finished ! Enjoy ;)

Verse 1

Wanting you here
But you're oh so far
I forgot how to live when you are not around

Those people I meet
All act the same
While I'm just longing for your smile, to keep me sane ...

Chorus

So can you hear me now ?
Cause I need everything you are
But all I've got left tonight
Are the city lights to warm my sickly heart

Verse 2

I'm a lost soul at sea, 
Tired and sinking down
Deathly wishing for land
So you can fix me up

So let me know
If you are
Just as broken as me
While we're apart

Chorus

Bridge

Make me believe once again
Or make me sick with love
And leave for dead ...

Outro

All I want is
Your whispered voice through the night
To steal my tears away
And heal my mind

Apart

Down There
