Michael Lane - Someone New

"Better to You" started with the line "I am the salt in your wound" and is about how you stay with somebody even when there is pain.

Self produced and mixed in my little studio in Berlin. Many thanks to Lil Ulmann for performing violin and her great patience with my poorly written Notation skills!
And as always thank you to Darbymusic for knocking it out of the park with her backing vocals.

Better to You

Itunes

Lyrics:

If only people knew what you'd been through
They'd ask you
How you could still smile at all?
You'd grimace back, and say
After all that, smiling's no walk in the park
You'd say I spent many nights crying alone in the dark
In the dark

Did it all for you,
I give you my life
Did it all for you,
Child of mine

Started asking the right questions
Broke my heart in two
'Cause all of a sudden, I could see right through
You became a superhero
Because you had to
You'd say I'd do it all again, so I'd have you

Did it all for you,
I give you my life
Did it all for you,
Child of mine

She said I knew in the seventh grade
A good mother I would make
But life went wrong, and I was afraid
Didn't know how much it would take
How much it would take
This life of mine
Give it all to you, child of mine
I give you my life, did it all for you
No matter how much it takes
And I'd do it again, too

"Superhero" by Jules Renner

Verse 1
On Fort Hill Terrace, just after nine
Blue lights cut through a winter line
Sirens climbing the quiet street
Fire and smoke where neighbors meet
A house once filled with lamps and books
Now held its breath as the flames took hold
One life ended in the heat and dark
A scholar's voice, a lasting mark

Verse 2
Fifty six years in the classroom light
Teaching ancient words to live and fight
Greek and Latin, stories told
Worlds made new from texts so old
She taught how language carries pain
How myth and loss still speak our name
Students learned to read with care
To see the truth buried there

Chorus
Smith College's loss, Northampton's grief
A life of meaning, a life of belief
From every page, her lessons stay
Though the fire took her breath away
Candles glow where questions were
A mind that shaped a future here
Smith College's loss, a quiet bell
For a life that taught us well

Verse 3
Firefighters worked an hour or more
Holding the line at the burning door
One soul gone, another safe
Fragile margins that fate can make
The cause still hidden, answers slow
Only ashes left to show
How fast the ordinary breaks
How little time a fire takes

Verse 4
In lecture halls and shaded paths
Her work still walks where students pass
Translation bridges time and voice
Giving lost words a living choice
She asked us why old stories last
Why love and loss outlive the past
Those questions echo even now
In every vow, in every vow

Chorus
Smith College's loss, Northampton's grief
A life of meaning, a life of belief
From every page, her lessons stay
Though the fire took her breath away
Candles glow where questions were
A mind that shaped a future here
Smith College's loss, a quiet bell
For a life that taught us well

Outro
Tonight the hill is dark and still
Smoke has faded, the cold air fills
But what she gave cannot be burned
It lives in every mind she turned
Smith College's loss, we say her name
In learning, memory, and flame

Smith College's Loss

Ghost - Acoustic Versions

LYRICS:

(A ghost)
(A ghost)
(A ghost)

Lonely ghost that holds me close
Lied to me, needed truth the most
Came to visit, stayed to host 
Raised my glass up to your toast 
No one’s there though, just a ghost

You’ll never know 
It’s just how it goes 
All the parties and shows 
Everybody else knows 
You’re a ghost 
(A ghost)
(A ghost)
(A ghost)

My ghost

Said you cared 
Left me there 
Cold and bare
Gasping for air
Reached for your hand
No one was there
True what they say
Life is unfair

Haunting every day of mine 
Hoping that you’ll fade with time 
What we had was once divine
Blind now though, can’t see
Just time

Time that’s lost
Can’t rewind
Can’t see, I’m blind
Can’t clear my mind

Another sad song
Feelings that rhyme
Ghost in my mirror
Ghost in my mind 
Blurred up the truth
Dead, buried, I died

I’m a ghost 
(A ghost)
(A ghost)
(A ghost)

Your ghost

Said you cared 
Left me there 
Cold and bare
Gasping for air
Reached for your hand
No one was there
True what they say
Life is unfair

You lied
I tried
You lied
I died

Dead and buried
I died inside
I’m a ghost

Lyrics:

I donʼt know which way youʼre going, and I don’t know the things youʼve seen, all I know is Iʼm still holding on to every word you said to me

As I land on the sand of your shores I know there’s so much more

oooooooo thereʼs a better life yeah oooooooo there’s a better life yeah, on our way to better days, can you leave it all behind can you see it in my eyes, thereʼs a better life, there’s a better life

I feel the rhythm of your heartbeat running through me like a drum, someday weʼll go back like car seats, began as strangers but I know what weʼll become

And even though I’m from so far away it’s here I wanna stay

oooooooo thereʼs a better life yeah oooooooo there’s a better life yeah, on our to better days, can you leave it all behind can you see it in my eyes, thereʼs a better life, there’s a better life

And if you promise that youʼll open your door, I trust that you wonʼt lie to me, just show me something more, so i can see

oooooooo thereʼs a better life yeah oooooooo there’s a better life yeah, on our to better days, can you leave it all behind can you see it in my eyes, thereʼs a better life, there’s a better life

📝 Lyrics:

Help me out my long lost friend
Tell me all that could’ve been
And if I start to lose myself 
A secret I could never tell

Oh, oh
Meet me down by the Coast
I’ll be waiting there for you 
Until the ocean tides rise 
And swallow the sky 
I’ll be waiting there for you 

If I get lost among the trees, 
Could they keep me company?
When the morning light grows dim 
Come the night I’ll find you then

Oh, oh 
meet me down by the Coast 
I’ll be waiting there for you 
Until the ocean tides rise
And swallow the sky
I’ll be waiting there for you 

On the beach you lay
And watch the stars dance upon the bay
And ask the lovely night if she could stay

Oh, oh 
meet me down by the Coast 
I’ll be waiting there for you 
Until the ocean tides rise
And swallow the sky
I’ll be waiting there for you 

Until the ocean tides rise,
And swallow the sky
I’ll be waiting there for you
