Dream Awake

Crazy and a Little Distorted
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 10–21-2025 All Rights Reserved ©

[Verse 1]
The room is spinning in slow motion,
Candlelight dancing on the wall,
You smile like you’ve got some secret potion,
And I’m just trying not to fall.
The vinyl crackles, the trumpet sighs,
Something blue beneath your eyes,
You whisper, “baby, let’s get lost tonight,”
And I can’t tell wrong from right.

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m crazy, and a little distorted,
Drunk on the way you move, so slow.
Reality’s been slightly contorted,
Since you played your sweet solo.
We’re off-beat, off-key, but I adore it,
A love that’s wild and unreported.
Yeah, I’m crazy… and a little distorted.

[Verse 2]
You pour another round of trouble,
Say the truth’s just smoke and wine,
Your laugh hits me in double,
Like a sax note out of time.
I’m floating somewhere between sin and grace,
In the halo of your face,
I’m lost inside your melody,
And there’s no escape for me.

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m crazy, and a little distorted,
Tangled in your late-night blues.
Every line of yours sounds imported
From a dream I didn’t choose.
You’ve got me bent, but I can’t ignore it,
Sweet madness — I can’t afford it.
Yeah, I’m crazy… and a little distorted.

[Bridge]
(Soft piano + brushed drums interlude)
You say love’s just jazz — no rules, no bars,
Just improv hearts beneath the stars.
So play me wrong, but play me true,
I’ll lose my mind in the key of you.

[Final Chorus]
‘Cause I’m crazy, and a little distorted,
Your rhythm’s got me hypnotized.
My sanity’s been slightly thwarted,
By the smoke behind your eyes.
So pour that moonlight, don’t you hoard it,
Let’s get lost and never sort it…
Yeah, I’m crazy —
Crazy and a little distorted.

Sichangi X TAIO - New Love

Track 4 in my debut album: #thechangeexperience - 'Mr. Music Man' with Lisa Oduor-Noah and Owuor Arunga.
 Lisa is my favorite Kenyan vocalist. Just listen and you will know why!
I am continuously inspired by Owuor Arunga, one of the hardest working musicians I have met. With 4 Grammys! It was an absolute honor having him feature on the album.

The Change Experience

Mr. Music Man (With Lisa Oduor-Noah & Owuor Arunga)

Meet Me Outside is a new Arts new Audiences (nAnA) grantee under the British Council's East Africa Arts programme.

Distortion

This time I'm sharing something quite different from what my fans are used to. This is a light hearted and catchy afro pop song about resilience and celebration. I wanted to create something distinctly Kenyan while borrowing from elements of dancehall and Ed Sheeran's Shape of You.

Tetu Shani x MTM- Drinks on Me

My world was thrown in limbo after I lost someone dear to me recently. I was staunchly reminded that time, however long or short, is temporary and you never get any moments back, neither do moments repeat. 
But you can hold onto the good things they did, said or were to you.
So I'm still holding on.

Original song by Simply Red; covered by Gretchen Parlato

Holding Back The Years

This is a first in a series of songs for the once a month challenge featuring Chemutai Sage and four other Kenyan artists.  The artists have commited to dropping one song every month until December 2019.

"Where Did You Go? " is a song that encompasses the withdrawal symptoms of lost love.  Written in 2008 by Sage,  the lyricism is simple and you can feel the push and pull between acceptance and denial of this ultimate betrayal. Produced by Dillie,  the song takes you back to old school NeoSoul with its vibey bassline. This marks Chemutai Sage's return to music after a year of hiatus.

So much more music coming this year.

No Way Feat. Michael Decena

This song is written for my grandfather, a man I never got to meet but who I feel so close to. It is written from the stories I have heard told of him by my mother, my grandmother and my aunties.

Today
28th anniversary of his death

I hope your heart resonates with it, and more than anything, I hope this song, even mildly, soothes the ache of losing a loved one.

Lyrics:

Mama Says,
Mama says,
You were a different man,
Mama says,
Mama says,
Gold dust was in your hands.

Mama says,
Mama says,
You had a different heart, 
When you smiled,
Oh how she saw the stars.


Mama says,
Mama says,
You had a different mind,
Twice as wise,
Just as kind,
Oh how I need you now.


Mama says,
Mama says, 
It was a different day,
The day you died,
When you died,
The wind took her star away.

Mama says,
Mama says,
There’s a certain kind of pain, 
When they don’t come back, 
So,
Please come back,
And make her whole again.

Won’t you come back? 
Won’t you come back?
Please come back.
Please come back.

Mama says, 
Mama says,
There’s a certain kind of pain, 
When they don’t come back, 
So,
Please come back,
And make our home again.
