The Universe Within You (w/ Zyphyr)

Louisiana - Sarah Buckley

This song is for anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissistic or toxic person. As anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissist knows, it is incredibly painful. Years can be wasted staying stuck in the relationship triangle of frustration, self-pity or believing you can fix them. When you finally realize that the only way to move forward is to completely cut them out of your life forever you are on the first steps to freedom. Expressing the anger you feel from all the abuse and time wasted is the first step to healing. Hope this song can help you to feel it’s okay to be angry.

This is a variation on my other improvised sets, in that at least 95% or all of the music is created using generative techniques.

Generative Improvisations #1 (17-01-2023)

I know I let you in, I just swung the door out wide
Then I gave you your very own tour of the places that I’d hide
I told the truth to you
The grit and the dirt
But you dragged that mud around and you know how that hurt

And I’ve turned it over now
You know that I’ve climbed every branch
But I can’t find a way through where I ever stood a chance, against you

You had your puppet show and I’d admire each display
I thought the way we’d pull and push was just the way that we’d play
I let your words be my drug
I let them heat my veins
Now it’s hard to understand
Why I’d tend to those flames

And I’ve turned it over now
You know that I’ve climbed every branch
But I can’t find a way through where I ever stood a chance 

And your voice was quicksand
And I was in waist deep
We had all these moments that I wanted to frame up and keep
Your way seemed timeless
Gentle and unique
It just disarmed me though
Left me feeling weak

And I’ve turned it over now
You know that I’ve climbed every branch
But I can’t find a way through where I ever stood a chance

And I’ve turned it over now
You know that I’ve climbed every branch
But I can’t find a way through where I ever stood a chance

And I’ve turned it over now
You know that I’ve climbed every branch
But I can’t find a way through where I ever stood a chance

And I’ve turned it over now
You know that I’ve climbed every branch
But I can’t find a way through where I ever stood a chance, against you.

Puppet Show

Soon The Warmth Will Come

Lost In Space

In the enchanting scene of a moonlit night, a young girl immerses herself in the pages of a mystical book, weaving her vivid imagination into a whimsical tale that conjures up playful, skeletal apparitions.

Set to a lighthearted triple-time signature, the piano guides the melody, lending a delightful charm to the composition. Complementing this whimsical journey, the glockenspiel and synthesizer mallet harmoniously dance together, evoking the amusing and endearing image of comical skeletons.

"I Hid in Your Light"  Lyrics

How could I ever let this happen
How tired of me
Perfectionism stifled my unfolding
Took away from my identity

And I am searching
To stop self sabotage
Denial is a potent drug
It saves me from seeing the ugliness
But in the end, it eats me and those around me alive

I hid in your light
Believed in your lies
Closed my own eyes
Hidden in plain sight
 
Embraced delusions keep on coming
Outrun the lies
When we believe in our own phantoms
Something within us dies

And I am searching
To stop self sabotage
Denial is a potent drug
It saves me from seeing the ugliness
But in the end, it eats me and those around me alive

I hid in your light
Believed in your lies
Closed my own eyes
Hidden in plain sight

I’m not afraid of your darkness—don’t be afraid of my artist  

Through the cracks
The light emerges
And I begin to see
I knew deep inside if I was successful
That you would leave

And I was searching
To stop self sabotage
Acceptance is a potent drug
It saved me by facing what I’d repressed
And in the end I am stronger without you; I am alive
