when I hear these lyrics I get the feeling you have been somewhere special  and you are telling us about it

Again creating that depth with the acoustic mix, centering the vox. Very America or Alan Parsons-like.  Nice!

gorgeous tune. Great work. Awesome sound. Perfect lyrics.

In Vain

Mademoiselle

Come sunrise I'll see this through.
It's the morning light that helps you move.

And little by little if it'll make you feel fine
I will, I will do this until all is right.
Little by little if it'll make you feel fine
I will, I will do this with you all the time.

Warm sunshine. Such a nice surprise.
One of a kind that helps you move.

And little by little if it'll make you feel fine
I will, I will do this until all is right.
Little by little if it'll make you feel fine
I will, I will do this with you all the time.

Never mind all the woes.
It's a crime. You said it so.
Better times come and go.
To remind you why you'll never ever know.

And little by little if it'll make you feel fine
I will, I will do this until all is right.
Little by little if it'll make you feel fine
I will, I will do this with you all the time.

Little By Little

Take your time. It's all right 
to take it slow sometimes.

Take your mind off your weary life and those
that remind you it's not okay to smile.

I just don't got in me.
I just don't got in me
to take this seriously

It tastes just fine.
Savor every bite. 
The finite and sublime.

Ooo It ain't right. 
No, no, no I don't think so.

Take your eyes off the devil's prize and go back.
It's okay to laugh.

I just don't got in me.
I just don't got in me
to take this seriously

Seriously

TrackAfterTrack

Stuck on souls
slowly we move
hopeless and brave
when nothing's good
when nothing's good

So we hold hands
milk bottle blue
what do you like?
who do you do?
who do you do?

Still we hold on
for something to do
wondering how
we can move

Still we hold on
for something good

Milk bottle blue
Milk bottle blue
Milk bottle blue
Milk bottle blue

Good as gold
better than used
walking asleep
the world see through
the world see through

Still we shuffle along
with the nothing to lose
How do you dream
in these shoes?

Holding on
milk bottle blue
Falling asleep
I dream of you
I dream of you

Let Me Go

“Electric Candles”

I’m living fire
Bodily combustion
Burning blue under snow

Tendered words don’t warm me
I receive them—cold, cold, cold

I’m flesh and wonder
Presence ecstatic
But I feel alone

Emoticons don’t embrace me
I can’t feel what’s not here to hold

With an analog urge
I try to form myself into a sentence
To convey myself
On the digital surge
With only image to fill the lack of presence
I misspell myself

Electric candles
Burning not burning
In an alien, blue glow

You are without me
I only feel you—cold, cold, cold

Custom commons
Vicarious persons
Who the hell wants to know?

Be here with me
Let’s learn how to know and be known

Electric candles
Hissing with their flicker
Without human warmth
We freeze
A space so vacant
An air like static

Electric candles
A current from an outlet
Two simple pins that never truly connect
For real

Electric candles
Burning imagination
Visions as real as psychic hallucinations
That burn out when touched

Electric candles
Bluer than a held breath
The hope is lit
But shorter than a glim’s breadth
With no warmth to feel

In regards to 'The bodies in the wishing well'

Why do humanbeings insist on reaching for perfection, especially these days in regards to music production. I can't do it, especially on my budget, so this is my rebellion against all that. I understand I am not the first person to do this.
So all these songs are pretty rough, did em on my zoom 8 track...and an old AKG mic, mostly. Nothing more than 2-3 takes, very little use of lyrics, just stating the basic nature of the imperfection that is our perception of existence (first time I am going to add the lyrics).
Not many will care or listen, but i am happy with thse songs and how they came out, as the world under goes a collective death anxiety I think a countless number are feeling left out and forgotten.....I know i do...... lucky for me and my fear of missing out (within the world ofsound and vision), I understand that in reality ,I am not missing out on much.

Take it easy.....and put your phone away
