[original guitar score by @john-byrne-117035719]

When I watched you from a paper cloud,
my paper cloud
was overflown with all the
beauty there could be.

And then it was time
to tumble down, can't turn around,
but every choice I made
made a smaller me.

And when I looked around
my world so small, no world at all
I remembered all the colors
I'd seen from above.

And I decided to enjoy the fall
dive into the rotten dirt
and dig me up some love.

This plane is going down,
but it's the screaming
of the air that awoke us

Good time to take a look around
and find the way to plummet
with an unrelenting focus

Yeah, this plane is going down, down, down
but it's still holding up,
and it ain't down yet.

Great time to use up all that focus
I need to burn my way
down to zero in regret.

[ zero in regre-e-et, e-et ]

So when I take you
by the neck and waist
then spin around,
it's like I'm dancing
with a much braver me.

Let's never plan
to settle down, nor settle for
anything less than everything
there is to do and be.

This plane may be going down
but nothing short of
a mountainside can block us.
It's time to move those feet around
we can dance circles 'round the world
when all we've got is focus.

[ Swing with me.
Take a swing with me.
We'll take a swing at everything there is
to do, and to be.
There's so much to do
and to be... ]

You're invited to my paper cloud—
my paper cloud
makes all possible beauty plain to see.

This plane's still going down,
it's going down, it's going down,
but it ain't down yet.
There's always time to
work our way down to
zero in regret.

We will watch the world
grow bigger in our eyes.
We will burn every last drop of fuel
on nothing will suffice.

Zero In Regret (with John Byrne)

This dreamy and ethereal track that features a beautiful piano melody, with layers of percussion and synths adding to the sound. As the track progresses, the sound becomes increasingly complex, with different instruments weaving in and out of the mix. The track's melancholic yet uplifting mood is invigorating, and the interplay between the various instruments create a dynamic and evolving sound that is both soothing and engaging.

In Real Life I for soprano and chamber ensemble and soprano and piano also available. (In Real Life I consists of different songs than In Real Life II.)

PROGRAM NOTE
As a follow-up to our song cycle for soprano and chamber ensemble (or piano), Robert and I  agreed the concept of five characters looking for love online should have a male counterpart. Written for baritone and chamber ensemble, In Real Life II looks at five contemporary men clicking their way to second chances and romance. In “No Frog” we meet a prototypical player, a guy who fluffs his profile, but the truth keeps slipping out. The tone shifts with “Sola Fide,” in which a U.S. veteran of the war in Afghanistan explains the tattoo on his chest and the wounds inside. An older gentleman envisions one last fling in the irreverent “Die with Me.” In “Still Vamping,” a gay man muses on his start-and-stop romantic history. Finally, in “Nice-Plus,” an everyday guy reveals a hidden passion. In Real Life II was commissioned by American Modern Ensemble with funding from the Doctorow Family Foundation.

Seq00l  WWW  Love Is That Condition In Which The Happiness Of Another Is  Essential To Your Own.

Lyrics

Verse:
Smoky abyss, secret cave drawing me in
It’s the salt on my glass, glistening on the rim
There’s a darkness so sweet, caught in scent, caught in blue
When I take your pale hand you know that’s hardly a sin

Chorus: 
You can give it to me in feverish dreams
Tease the fiends in me, the devils and queens
I’m not pursuing you boy, you know that’s not what I mean
But the night is inviting and reveals the dark side in me

Verse:
It’s a slippery slope, and I’m not going down
Hurt pride makes me cruel - I tantalise you, make you frown
I would take all of you before the madness subsides 
But I’m not going to be the one to take you back downtown 

Chorus 2 x

Dark Side

Seq17 I The First Kiss Is Not Given With The Mouth, But With The Eyes.

Neither a comformist nor a rebel
In love with entrepreneurship, writing, photography & music.
