Green Fields of Home

A full suitcase
An unfamiliar place
So much to say
But when a chance was near
I'd disappear
Now you're a thousand miles from here
And I can't let go.
But I don't think you know
And I don't think you'll ever know...

When I never say the things I mean
And rarely act on dreams I've dreamed
The motel clock reads 11:13.
(Nothing you could say matters anyway)

Drifting asleep, they dare to dream
Always without fear. Forever, it seems.
The heavens stretch before them eternally
Glory, glory
Hallelujah, the angels sing
Hope is born again beneath broken wings.
The heavens stretch before them eternally
Glory, glory

A time to tear,
And a time to mend.
A time to be silent,
And a time to speak.
This time, I think
I'll shake this feeling I'm a fraud
And nothing's gonna change me and set me free,
And that you're better off without me.
I know that life's too short to live in fear.

But I never say the things I mean
And rarely act on dreams I've dreamed
The kitchen clock reads 11:13.
(Nothing you could say matters anyway)

Living in a daze, through the haze.
Solve the maze. Oh, the ways!
How is it you feel? Nothing's real.
Take the deal as you kneel.
Life is like a dance, sweet romance. 
Take a chance and change this land.

I never say the things I mean
And rarely act on dreams I've dreamed
The bedroom clock reads 11:13.

We all long to say the things we mean
And follow through on dreams we've dreamed
The clock has stopped at 11:13.
(Nothing you could say matters anyway)


11:13

Pt. I: The Expendable

Darkness, like the sun is burning out
Standing in the shadows, screaming loud
And the wheels of industry turn
While our hungry die your towers stretch for the sky

It's not as if we didn't recognize
Your bleeding wounds, your tired eyes
It's not as if you tried to hide
Your rampant need, your lack of pride
It's not as if we started war here
You signed a contract, plain and clear
It never really was our problem anyway
You're so far away. It's just business.

Pt. II: The Revolving Door

(Instrumental)

Pt. III: The Big Machine

What's the market price?
Buy or sell?
What's the newest craze?
I've seen their ads.
How is it you sleep at night
Without high def TV
Or silk sheets?

I've walked this earth two hundred thousand years
And I have seen your smiles and I have seen your tears
I witnessed David, Jesus, Socrates, and King
And I have never bowed down before anything
Born part and parcel God, not part of this machine
I've seen the glaciers melt, I've seen the oceans rise
And with my eyes wide open, looked up to the skies.

I can't believe I didn't recognize
Their bleeding wounds, their tired eyes
I can't believe I ever cried 
Over selfish wants, these petty lies
It all just seemed so far away
When I could sleep at night, believing I was safe
So caught up in a world of things
So easy to forget, it seems, that we're all human.

(No one really noticed, no one seemed to care.
The silent empire thrives on a third world in despair.)

This track was from a project at Berklee. The focus was on implementation of music from other cultures and times into a traditional film score ensemble. Mine was on Moroccan music. It was a lot of fun researching the traditional music of the area and trying to recreate the feel of it.
