Grasslands ft. Wildsilences

whisper of faded memory

Samsara

Produced for BB95; @random_landscaping's theme: The Planets.

Inspired by the planet Venus.

The song title comes from the very last line in Greek lyric poet Sappho's "Hymn to Aphrodite," in which the lovelorn narrator invokes and asks the goddess of love for her help in the narrator's romantic stumblings.

Here are lines 25-28 from Julia Dubnoff's translation of the hymn:

"Come to me now once again and release me
from grueling anxiety.
All that my heart longs for,
fulfill. And be yourself my ally in love’s battle."

Lunar

Moongirl
I see you shine
Out there 
Where the rainbows dance
Moongirl 
Starlit skies
I can hear you

Don’t you know
For so long
Feel you close to me
Floating
In the dark
In the dark you shine

Shine for me
As we shimmer it seems like
I am lost

"butterflies are blue around me
your eyes yellow like the dawn
my heart is broken
but nothing can make it whole
between us, unspoken 
songs without words
no one left to haunt
don't let it get away, get away
between the moon and 
dreams that keep me 
like a ghost
there is no one left to haunt
all alone"

No One Left to Haunt

a re-edit of an old song. inspired by the music of Counting Crows. i love their way of storytelling. 

"I am the broken heart I am the lonely soul 
I am the blue and I am the breeze and
Portal of dreams
Mine to hold to be the one that seems like I am 
Sane
They've close the door again Built the walls around 
No more glass to see the outside
Inside now I must dream Inside now I must bleed 
Don't leave me here. 'Cause I will find you"
