The Name I Long To Hear (A. and D. Smith)

나에게

I wrote this in January 2005, and have performed it solo many times but it took a while to get it recorded.

Each verse (and the bridge) is a scene from the Ithaca, NY area.

Lyrics:

a flash of gold
a flash of green
a flash of something old you
thought you never should've seen
a flash of alabaster
a flash of white, and after that
a flash of insight into
something gray you'd thought was unclean

rolling down the hillside,
tired and in no gear
the city lights below you,
up ahead a deer just crossed the road
 
you missed the sign,
but it occurs to you that
you are here.
 
you bought your ticket,
you paid the price:
you made your way here
slogging through the snow and ice
the sound and motion
wake you from sleep, mm
but it's the silence
that pulls you in deep.
 
come and dance with me,
i'm sitting very still
come sing your passion to the rooftops
and in the mumbled echo you might hear your name
 
there's only one way
to find out whether
you are here.
 
circling to land
the end of the line
no connecting flights
there's only one way to travel,
and that's forward in time.
 
i had a vision,
it went like this:
a quiet sunbeam
and a forest kiss
it led me forward, but
now it's so far away
and when I glimpse it, it
only leads to yesterday
 
how can i run in darkness, flying into fear?
but if i listen close and stay standing here,
will it come to me?
 
it all comes to this,
and this is you,
and you are here.

002 - 不要躲避我的眼睛

Free:Into The Mystic

Ghost Notes is a soundtrack for the unspoken; the quiet echoes of love, loss, and everything in between. Through each track, it unravels the pieces left behind: the moments of clarity, the weight of old scars, the rush of falling too fast, and the ache of wanting someone who isn’t truly yours. At its heart, this album is about rediscovery; learning to love yourself again, owning your flaws, and finding beauty in the truths we usually leave unsaid. With music crafted to give voice to the feelings we all know but rarely express, Ghost Notes speaks in the language of the heart. S/o to my boy Brandon for helping in the creative process on this. Love y'all❤️

Memory Garden

opium (also known as poppy tears, or Lachryma papaveris) is the dried latex obtained from the seed capsules of the opium poppy Papaver somniferum. Approximately 12 percent of opium is made up of the analgesic alkaloid morphine, which is processed chemically to produce heroin and other synthetic opioids for medicinal use and for the illegal drug trade. Opium's main psychoactive alkaloids, primarily morphine, act on μ-opioid receptors, causing analgesia and addiction with long-term use leading to tolerance, dependence, and increased cancer risk. The latex also contains the closely related opiates codeine and thebaine, and non-analgesic alkaloids such as papaverine and noscapine. The traditional, labor-intensive method of obtaining the latex is to scratch ("score") the immature seed pods (fruits) by hand; the latex leaks out and dries to a sticky yellowish residue that is later scraped off and dehydrated.
