Composed and mixed  by Megan Jennifer Lewis

Just as I was about to rush out for an appointment a few weeks ago I stopped by the piano and composed just a few bars.  I didn't really have the time but I can rarely resist the pull of my piano and thought "oh well...maybe just a few minutes!"  I knew that when I returned home and over the  weeks to follow, these few bars would grow into my next piece of music.  While I was at my appointment I thought to myself that these little musical "doodles" are like seeds.  Every time I sit at the piano a seed is sown (which is why I hit "record" every time)!  Some seeds (or "kernels") grow and develop, others do not even germinate.  

All seeds benefit from being cared for and nurtured and I am lucky enough to have someone special in my life who is rather an expert in all things musical.  Thank you Chris Adams for mentoring me and challenging me to come out of my comfort zone and try new things.

Retro Active Vibrations

The world just turns upon its wheel
You walk a path you cannot feel
A silent wind begins to blow
Erasing tracks left in the snow
The door clicks shut, a fading sound
My breath is lost and can't be found
But fear gives way to what is true:
A part of me is part of you

I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting for you
In the silence, it's all I can do
And your promise is the air I breathe
In this sacred space you had to leave
I am waiting, I am waiting for you
I am waiting, my promise is true

The days like clouds begin to drift
I hold them close, a precious gift
I am the garden, green and deep
Where all your secrets I will keep

I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting for you
In the silence, it's all I can do
And your promise is the air I breathe
In this sacred space you had to leave
I am waiting, I am waiting for you
I am waiting, my promise is true

An angel spins a silver thread
From my own soul to where you're led
He holds the moments in his hand
Our sacred and unbroken strand

I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting for you
In the silence, it's all I can do
And your promise is the air I breathe
In this sacred space you had to leave
I am waiting, I am waiting for you
I am waiting... 
Take care... care…
Waiting for you...

I'll Be Waiting

Over 100 years ago, Anna Sutter was a famous opera singer. Her signature role was Carmen. And over the years, she also became Carmen in real life. And, consequently, she died like her favorite role, murdered by one of her abandoned lovers.

I’m Anna, Anna Sutter
My life became the role
A whispered, fatal mutter
That came to claim my soul
I’m Anna, Anna Sutter
The final curtain call
Just a fatal, final mutter
Before the final fall.

The lights went up, a thousand hungry eyes
I gave them passion, told them beautiful lies
I was their Carmen, wild and full of fire
Lost in the role, my one and sole desire
A painted smile, a voice that soared and flew
I never thought the part would see me through.

I’m Anna, Anna Sutter
My life became the role
A whispered, fatal mutter
That came to claim my soul
I’m Anna, Anna Sutter
The final curtain call
Just a fatal, final mutter
Before the final fall.

I breathed a wish into the summer air
A lovelier death, a fate beyond compare
To fall like her, a tragedy in red
I never knew the careless words I said
Weaving threads around my own heart's beat
A bitter end for something once so sweet.

I’m Anna, Anna Sutter
My life became the role
A whispered, fatal mutter
That came to claim my soul
I’m Anna, Anna Sutter
The final curtain call
Just a fatal, final mutter
Before the final fall.

He raised his hand, not lover, but the cost
Of a part I played, a life forever lost
The final note, a sharp and sudden sting
And from the wings, I hear the echo ring… it rings… 

I’m Anna, Anna Sutter!
My life became the role!
A whispered, fatal mutter
That came to claim my soul!
I’m Anna, Anna Sutter!
The final curtain call!
Just a fatal, final mutter
And now I've lost it all!

The applause... is fading now...
My name... whispered in the rain...
I’m Anna, Anna Sutter...
And lost it all!

I'm Anna Sutter

The world outside, a noisy stream,
Lost inside a hurried dream.
But like a tree, I stand my ground,
My roots reach deep without a sound.

Serenity, a silent sound,
Serenity, on holy ground.
Serenity, you hold me now,
The quiet light upon my brow.

A hidden wellspring, cool and clear,
Washes all the doubt and fear.
The rushing tide is turned to sleep,
While secrets in my soul I keep.

Serenity, a silent sound,
Serenity, on holy ground.
Serenity, you hold me now,
The quiet light upon my brow.

Is this an angel's breath I feel?
A whispered truth that makes me real?
A timeless rhythm, soft and slow,
A quiet space for seeds to grow.

Serenity, a silent sound,
Serenity, on holy ground.
Serenity, you hold me now,
The quiet light upon my brow.

Serenity, a final sound!
Serenity, on holy ground!
Serenity, you hold my soul!
Your quiet light now makes me whole.
