My wife wanted to be my first paying customer as to make me a professional musician. She asked for a heroic sounding theme to represent when her friend Blaze comes to rescue her when she is dead in the hardcore mode of the game Icarus and needs to be rez'd. I've never really written an orchestral piece before or a heroic sounding piece before, so I hacked the matrix as usual. Enjoy

The Rescue

I was comissioned by a fan of CODE: Lyoko to make this track. The story in this song is an alternate ending where XANA has survived to upload himself into an army of protogen bio-mechs (see picture). In this picture he is a DJ in addition to an evil A.I. and he's playing out this song, his song to you.

XANA In Control

What an honor to have my song included on this compilation. I love all the songs on this album!

Song #1 written for February Album Writer's Month (FAWM)2020.

Lyrics:
This room smells like a Martin guitar,
Like spruce and glue and veneer
A little rough around the ledges, a little rough around the edges,
And a window with a view of the hall.

We were lured from the mountains by the smell of the sea,
And the promise of a quiet place to rest,
This shower runs cold, but we’re warming our souls
With the salt and the sand and the beer.

Chorus:
As the sun sets in Puntarenas,
The heat rises and twinkles the stars,
And just like the light in that Costa Rican sky,
You’ll always be right where you are.

A band is playing what sounds like a march,
With bugles and tubas and drums,
There are old couples dancing, and the waves and the sand sing
Along, spin out into the dark.

Then we both snuck away from the noise and the crowds,
Though no one would know we were gone,
We cracked open our cans, and toasted this land,
And sat in the here and the now.

(Chorus)

A man wheels a cart selling fruit-flavored ice,
His arms strong and brown from the sun,
Another man slumps in the surf, trying to wash away his hurt,
And yells at stray passers-by.

Maybe the sun had dried up all his hope,
Maybe someone he loved hurt him bad,
Well, a town on the beach felt like freedom to me,
But maybe it’s a jail cell for different folks.

(Chorus)

The Weary Traveler is Welcome Here

Song #3 written for February Album Writers' Month (FAWM) 2020

Lyrics:

The past few weeks have been kinda hard,
With cold and clouds to hide the stars every night.
My sorrows freeze this time of year,
My worries: stones, my heavy tears just like ice.

We sought the sun, that brought us here,
Like snowbirds climbing warmer air, moving south
To sweat out all my sullen sighs, try to dry my eyes with all the

Chorus:
Laundry hanging on the line,
Warmer than a Carolina winter.
Airing out my winter clothes,
From the mountains to the coast I travel,
And I unravel.

And being here, it’s hard to sleep,
My frozen fears still in my dreams every night.
Put a pin in my responsibilities,
They hopped a plane and followed me like I thought they might.

Just try to let it go again,
Welcoming the wind with all the…

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Reentry’s always rough, land in snow or hail,
Sunday scaries, chasing tails,
Piles and piles of new emails,
I go out in the gale, still find my…

(Chorus)
