That Funny Feeling - KK Slider Version

Finally, new song! I've been gone for way too long, I know.
This one was commissioned by terezi-shmerezi for her story. It takes place in a futuristic but steampunk world and centers around a young woman named Rosa who can communicate with ghosts and see the inevitable death of anyone she touches. 
•••
She walks like no woman that I’ve ever seen before
like dancing on the air instead of dancing on the floor
and each step she takes just fills you with such grace
that you’re always left wanting more.

I’ve heard but some whispers that I cannot quite believe
I’ve heard that she keeps men and women hanging to her sleeve
and begging for some scraps of her voice of golden silk
which they will, gratefully, receive.

But they say, oh they say, that her skin is a spell
and they see, oh they see, the sadness in her eyes when she wishes them farewell

Oh dancing girl, let’s see you twirl, we will watch you through the night
and when you feel us, you will know us, you will see a horrid sight
they tell me you can foretell the doom of every hand within your clutch
and all the mortals will cower before your touch.

She seems to reach the sky with her gloves of woven milk
and every star she touches falls into her palm of silk
and every time she pulls off them off and leaves her fingers cold
her smile turns sad and wise and so old.

But they tell of some darkness that haunts behind her eyes
They say that she hears whispers, they say that she is wise
they say that they have heard her saying in her sleep
that everyone eventually dies.

And she cries, oh she cries, and never answers why
but there are whispers that she knows endings and she knows how we will die.

Oh cursed child, let’s see you smile, at the people you have doomed
and paint the patterns on the floor when you dance across the room
oh young companion, let’s see your gold skin, it is nearly too much
and you will grow up learning to fear your touch.

Touch

Find another me

Finally, as promised long ago, a Night Vale song! This one is for Carlos the Scientist, back when he was still stuck in that desert otherworld.

Stay tuned for the upcoming Home Pt. 2...
•••
As I wander through this strange world
with these bright skies and these red lights
I just wonder how you all are
all the way back home.
 
Is it sunny? Is your cold gone?
Did I leave the kitchen stove on?
Are you happy? Do you miss me?
How are you getting by alone?
 
Well I’m alright, I’m fine.
I guess I’m meant to roam.
To never settle down somewhere,
to never have a home.
 
And I don’t know where your town is
and I don’t know how I came
I just know that once I got there
my entire life had changed.
 
It’s not what I was expecting
it’s not what I thought I wanted
but these moments I’ve collected
are the times I’d never trade.
 
And they’re all in my mind
These memories you’ve sown
like when I asked and you agreed
that we could start a home
 
I guess I was delusional or otherwise just juvenile
to think that just by wishing I could change the facts
but I’m a scientist and none of this can alter the hypothesis
that I don’t belong anywhere, in fact
 
I’ve been thinking for some time now
maybe this was meant to be
maybe I’m meant to get stuck here
and you’re meant to be here with me
 
But sometimes I close my eyes and
I see nothing but the strange land
where I found friends, love, and purpose
and for once I was not alone.
 
When those doors shut, then I realized
that no matter how hard I tried
I could never be a part of
that place that I called home.
 
But that’s alright, it’s fine
‘cause thanks to you I’ve known
what it feels like to live somewhere
what it feels like to love someone
to truly have a home.

Home Pt. 1

For those of you who've been around for a while, you might recognize this as the very first song I ever uploaded to SoundCloud. That version of the song now lives only on my hard drive. I deleted it due to poor recording quality. 

I've got a few songs like that, where the quality was poor so I took it down, or it's only ever been uploaded to Tumblr because it was my pre - SoundCloud days. I've decided that I want to go back and "remaster" some of those older songs because some of them, like this one, are still very special to me. 

Now about this song. This too shall pass. It's really such a weighted sentence. It's typically used as a calming phrase. 4 words that attempt to relieve your anxieties and remind you that the thing making you upset will soon pass. 

But I like to remember that it's also a warning. A reminder that the good things in life, the things you want, the things you desire, will just as quickly pass if you don't reach out and grab them when you get the chance. So carpe diem. Seize the day. Seize the moment. Live in the now. 

And don't forget that there are so many good things in life. We don't have to always live in the negative. 

Lyrics:
When life gives you heartache,
And struggle, and strife,
And knocks you to the ground,
With a twist of the knife, 
When you're feeling mighty lonely,
And troubled, and blue,
Just listen to these words,
That I'm singing to you,

Every day’s a new one,
With yellow sun, blue skies,
Happy birds singing songs,
And laughing ’til you cry. 
It's a melody unspoken,
A summer field of grass, 
Just remember this, my dear,
This too shall pass. 

Sometimes when you're down,
And out of the race,
Life can be a real big jerk,
And kick dirt in your face,
But whenever you have given up,
That's when you've let life win,
So get up off the ground my friend,
And just lift up that chin,

Because every day’s a new one,
With yellow stars, deep skies,
Singing under moonlight,
And laughing ’til you cry. 
It's a foaming ocean tide,
A piece of pink sea glass,
Don't forget these words my love,
This too shall pass. 

And who knows how much time we have?
Will life be short or long? 
Will I ever quit stalling,
Or finish this silly song? 
We don't know where we're going,
As we move through the atmosphere
Any day could be the last.  
But we shouldn't fear. 

Since every day's a new one,
Filled with so much joy inside,
Nothing lasts forever,
But we certainly can try. 
We should live and love each day,
As if it were our last,
Since one thing is for certain, Love, 
This too shall pass.

This Too Shall Pass
