A Peace of Love

Needless (Acoustic Instrumental) (2008) – Dealing with self-pity and doubts
Driven by an electric piano, Needless is an indie pop ballad that explores a silent heartbreak. Self-doubt can destroy the best relationship, especially when you feel inferior to your partner. Dreamy synthesizers meet picked acoustic guitars, an anthem for anyone who ever felt too small to be loved and chose to disappear.
This is the instrumental version of the acoustic version.

Needless (Acoustic Instrumental) [feat. Robot Recordings]

This is just a song of personal circumstances written in the same phase as “Jigs & Fixtures”.   
Looking back after so many years, I really should not have any regrets.  The song picture is also arbitrary.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
It's been four years now					
I am still around in these castle walls					
Not yet ready for society bound					
Waiting for chances to call					
But the curtain's falling before the play begins					
Sometimes you make it					
Sometimes you have to give in					
					
In this castle					
For too long I've been here					
See the castle					
Many long to be there									
That's the castle……that's the castle

Card games in the library					
Play truant repeatedly					
Keep on fooling around					
Examination's in a daze					
All the years are gonna waste					
Feeling like a clown					
Empty stages, regret is the only thing					
Run through the pages					
Can't find the right song to sing

In this castle					
For too long I've been here					
See the castle					
Many long to be, long to be there

Requirements must be satisfied					
If you wanna get inside					
Fill the forms and stand in line					
The status that you're aiming					
Dreams you're pursuing					
Future sure looks fine					
Games hall and canteen					
Swimming pool in between					
Are just too fascinating for school-leavers at seventeen				
					
(CHORUS 2)					
Come and join the castle					
We're getting better every year				
Join the castle					
It's nice to have you here
Join the castle					
We're getting better every year				
Join the castle					
It's nice to have you, nice to have you here

The Castle

Griffins in Love is a song about a couple evolving through love into a mythical griffin.

Lyrics
Verse 1
What kind of creature are we?
A mythical kind though normal we seem
When you are weak I am strong
When I get mad, sing me a song
You're keener than I and you soar through the sky
You lift me high before I die

Chorus 1
We're the griffins my love, blessed from above
Lion and eagle are one

Verse 2
What kind of union can we have?
I love you from the top, though they laugh
In my mind we are one
It started before it's begun
You're strength keep me from flying too close to the sun
When I'm with you, the struggle's undone

Chorus 2
We're the griffins my love, blessed from above
Lion and eagle are one

Verse 3
Do you still question what we are?
I was so sad when you were far
I learned from many mistakes
I lost my faith from many snakes
You appeared and claimed me with your eye
My eagle, before I fell

Chorus 3
We're the griffins my love, blessed from above
Lion and eagle are one
Lion and eagle are one

Lyrics by Wayland Stephens and Mary Pothanikat

Forever In The Wind (Demo)

Invisible Space

I was somewhere in Virginia
With the Catskills on my mind
All the mountains are connected
Like the days we left behind

I was walking in Savannah
Where the river meets the pines
You were painting by the window
Sketching out the crossing lines

I’ll be with you in the morning sometime
When the birds all wake too soon
But tonight I asked the stars to draw a line
And let the night lean into you

I was drifting down to Asheville
With the blue hills bending low
You were dancing through my memory
Like a firefly in early snow

Now I'm waking up in Berkley
With the jasmine in the air
Every coast just keeps on curving
But I still find you everywhere

I’ll be with you in the morning sometime
When the birds all wake too soon
But tonight I asked the stars to draw a line
And let the night lean into you

I’ll be with you in the morning sometime
When the birds all wake too soon
But tonight I asked the stars to draw a line
And let the night lean into you

Night Lines (with Joliz)

FALLING (interlude of betrayal)
