Captivatingly beautiful, Hilary. Reposting!!!

I heard a version of this tune I liked here. see:   https://soundcloud.com/william-allen-23/princess-royal
My play is nothing like, but the example gave me the idea to make  a minor key version.

The wonderful Luciole Langevine https://soundcloud.com/luciole-langevine interprets one of my songs. 
A song of optimism.

SECOND WIND (lyrics B. Snaith)

When 'Home Sweet Home' is wearing thin.
When you feel the bones
Through the thickest skin.
When all your hope is full of holes.
When your bag of dreams has got punctures in...

How can you believe?
When there's no room to breathe
And all you swallow is vacuum.

You must hold it all in
Till you get your second wind
Then you blow it to your friends
In a kiss of life.
To break the spell.

Tell me, how is it you stay awake while the rest suffocate?

Second WInd

Vincent van Gogh passed away July 29th, 1890,
“Vincent’s Letter” was released July 29th, 2020

I figured there’s no better time than 130 years later…

When I was very young, I had dreams about his paintings. 
 His paintings inspired a deep love in me for art at an early age, and I wanted to be a painter like him

 Music won me over, but I remember being about 10 or so - when I first started playing music a lot - and I promised this self-portrait painting of Van Gogh that I’d write a song (or several) for him that a lot of people would hear.  Yea I made a verbal promise to a painting.  
It wasn’t the first or last time...  I was a weird kid.

The funny thing is?  This isn't even Van Gogh, as I much later found out.  It's "Dr. Gatchet", who was a physician who was treating Van Gogh.  Vincent painted him, and they actually look a lot alike!  But I made the promise to this painting, so here it is
   I hope you enjoy it

Vincent’s Letter
____________________
home, it’s a little loud
a love breaks me down every day
a little more, she comes & slips away
my love hurts me now
a little more every day
love simply breaks me down, 
a little more every day
I’m hearing you crying inside,
 why don’t you look outside and find yourself?
I’m trying every day, a little more in every way

my heart, my hands are sleepy
my foot is stomping on the paint
a little love, colors break my heart
a little more every day, 
a little love, comes in breaks my heart
a little more every day
a little love, cousin, breaks my heart
a little more every day

my home, will you break me down?
a little more every day
our love, cousin, breaks me too
a little more every day…
a little home, my!…
crazies out of the sky!
it’s a yellow one!
I’m wondering why?
I got my heart beating still
mixed together with the colors that spill
I got my heart cousin
a little more every day
heavens harps, cousin, come to break me down
a little more every day
