LYRICS

// Part 1
Strokes of wind, silence
Crack my trust in you

Slam the door and go
No home here without you though

What is there to say when thoughts go silent
A new wind within is here to sway
Free to be heard again


// Part 2
We spoke of growth fondly
Scouted what seeds to grow

Castles built on shore (sure)
No longer responsible

What is there to say when thoughts go certain
Hope we win scouting clearer ways
Growing day-to-day (day today)

When thoughts go — (voice memo)

RIGHTS: I do not claim rights to the melodies and chords of this song. It is very much based on the tune "Dancing on my own" by Robyn. I've altered the lyrics to fit my album better, but many lines rhyme with the original song's lines as I didn't want to modify the song too much. The breakup/heartache topic is also still there. I really admire Robyn's work and hope nobody will be offended by this, please reach out in that case and I'll make adjustments! I might also make a version of this musical arrangement of the song, but with the original lyrics, so you don't have to listen to my altered lyrics if you prefer the original. Also, the interlude sounds a little like the theme melody for Alfons Åberg/Alfie Atkins, just for fun.

Progress status:
Some things to improve:
- Sang when I was sick, so need to rerecord that. Better dynamics, perhaps some updates to lyrics and just better performance.
- Better dynamics with piano in the beginning especially.
- Maybe more clear distinction of piano dynamics/rythm in second refrain?
- Better mixed and mastered
- etc



LYRICS:


// Verse 1

Sullenly said you need a new end 
Does he aid you better than I can?
Tried to map out the why, beyond lockdown, mmmm
No tit-for-two-tats, we’re no longer bound

Yeah I know it’s not lucid
Still got to see to it, to know myself


// Refrain 1
I’m getting warmer, the more that I garner, gaining poise 
I am scouting clearer, wish you would see me, through the noise  oh-oh-ooh-oh
I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the why you’d build a home, ooh-oh-oooh-ooh
I keep enhancing on my own
(I keep) enhancing what I’ve sown


// Verse 2
I’ll try to advance, be a dark knight
I’m stepping up, to scout my doubts right

Still echoes unspoken models
Fine to fall the first hurdles


// Refrain 2
I’m getting warmer, the more that I garner, gaining poise
I am scouting clearer, wish you would see me, through the noise oh-oh-ooh-oh
I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the why you’d build a home, ooh-oh-oooh-ooh
I keep enhancing on my own
(I keep) enhancing what I’ve grown


// Stick
It’s hard to say, a fear unclear
Insights dawn, the muse disguise
Wish you had seen me and adhered
Now I hope for a gray goodbye

Still, in the mourning, dreamt that you miss me, mmm I know

// Refrains
I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the why you’d build a home, ooh-oh-oooh-ooh
I keep enhancing on my own
I expand my comfort zone


I’m getting warmer, the more that I garner, gaining poise
I am scouting clearer, wish you would see me, through the noise oh-oh-ooh-oh
I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the why you’d build a home, ooh-oh-oooh-ooh
I keep enhancing on my own
I Keep exploring my unknowns

Lyrics (work in progress)

# verse 1
when you're awake
(from) headaches
even if too warm
holding you so close

it's okay
we dare say
even if it could feel small
when our morning comes


# bridge
Todo


# refrain
goodnight love
good night


# interlude (verse plucking)
(solo, because now she fell asleep and you're awake alone reflecting)


# verse 2
grateful
you trust me
late but what is time for
if not for seeing you score

if you stay 
(then) I'll stay
I've been longing for
feeling this secure


# Bridge
Todo


# Refrain
good night, love
good night

my lullaby,
good night


#interlude
(Now I fell asleep)


# Outro
when I wake
you wake
dream worth looking for
come here, tell me more

When our morning comes - v 0.1

Youtube recommended me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTB4bgna6AA
and I got inspired by her vulnerability to make some music to accompany.

Since she was singing acapella (which is hard to do and keep consistent tuning) I tried to adapt the music to it, not 100% perfectly. But fun challenge! :)

The song is from the movie Once.

If You Want Me - Akasha Taylor

Read The Way of Kings, watched Game of Thrones, and been thinking about honor and virtue lately.

The heartbeat when you step up to the challenge with honor.

Todo:
- Make heartbeat drum clearer in refrain
- more dynamics
- Better timing in flute in some parts, eg last part of melody in refrains. More clear melody.
- Better ending
- Maybe Lyrics/singing?
- Make the refrain more full, sometimes feels a bit empty in the full sound.
- more variations
- maybe vary the melody a bit more
- Mix so bass sounds better one smaller headphones
-

Honor - v 0.2

LYRICS

Step outside a moment
Sip of Hair, I’ll be there too
Feel my feet tingling
In the truth, here for you
If we dare to face off
We’ll be strong, we’ll belong
Here in this moment
Our needs can be seen

Clear the air to make it fair to all of the selves inside this atmosphere
Let the fear remind us what is here and prepare
Cozy winds in under your warming wing
Seeking sense so hearts can wake to sing
We crack up in curiosity until we soar (we’re sore)
