Memoirs

Standing still in the cold and rain
For a glimpse of you again
I would stand here for a day and a night
Even if it was in vain
I would do so with excitement and no shame

CHORUS1
We can be everything that glitters in the stars
You are the name I want recorded in memoirs
Standing together every time we get a chance
Spending the days in a trance

Never noticed how time flies
Until I spent it with you
Every moment has a hint of surprise
And so much more to do
An excitement that is clear in my eyes for you

CHORUS2
We can be anything and no-one could compare
The end of the world and I wouldn't even care
As long as we're hand in hand whilst escaping out of there
To any place, anywhere

CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2

Any Place, Anywhere

When you're wanting to tell someone something but they already know
It could be trivial, it could be life changing or so so
Did you look into some mystic water or use a crystal ball?
It doesn't matter you already know I'm enthralled

CHORUS 
We don't need to talk anymore
We communicate by mind
Be it humour, be it rumour, be it some kind of romance - one of a kind
Be it childish, be a wild wish we dreamt up in our minds
Be it flirty, even dirty, be it something only we would understand
Be it clever, oh whatever I want it on demand

When two minds have the same motivation I guess its fair to say
They will probably duplicate at least once a day
I found myself chuckling at something funny you muttered when we awoke
You can sense the strong feelings such actions evoke

CHORUS

On Demand

Emotive instrumental piece from the Memoirs song collection

There's pages and pages
All words so sincere
When I knocked on the door there was nobody there
This is a love letter
Like those long ago
A secret admirer that you barely know

CHORUS
I shout from the rooftops
I shout to the clouds
I shout to whoever whenever allowed
I sing with a beauty
That tells how I feel
And I sing with excitement now its all so real

I'd never have gathered
Because I'm so slow
I found myself falling for someone I know
And friendships can shatter
If you take such a path
You end up just ruining everything that you have

CHORUS

Its a guilty secret
But it makes me smile
And I hadn't laughed for such a long while
This is a love letter
Like those long ago
A secret admirer that you barely know

CHORUS

This Is A Love Letter

Swaying gently in my old rocking chair
With my age lines and my still greying hair
I can only hope that you are still there
We would reminisce - all of our good times
Naughty vignettes of all of our crimes
Every one of which were all so sublime

CHORUS
To feel your lips
To touch your face
To lose the sprint but won the race
Together in our special place that we desire
To hold your hand
To skip through time
To always know that you are mine
You are a light that always shines so bright with fire 

How I counted as the minutes went fast
Guess that happens when you're having a blast
Its far better than my more recent past
Well I never really asked to grow old
But I always did what I was told
It excites me when your touch is so cold

CHORUS

Always Shines

I'm hopeless at most everything
My whole life is a fractured lie
I want a chance to grasp afar
Before I crumple up and die

More painful than the written word
Are the scars that sit upon your spine
All fractured and a broken mess
I tiptoed down a wavering line

CHORUS
But I made my bed
I dreamt a fresh start
And I let you in
Into my heart

I'm looking up into the clouds
Decline to say it is my time
Oh so much to look forward to
I cough but I am feeling fine

The sins of past have washed away
But stains I have upon my shroud
I hope you haven't noticed the angry mob
The maddened crowd

CHORUS

Into My Heart

May the planet of love bestow a relaxing meditative state for you to rise.

Lots of synths - bass arp, pianos, reverb and acoustic guitars, orchestral basses, cello, and French horn set to hip hop and Latin beats at 75 bpm.

I played French horn as a child from age 10-18 in a public school concert band and later marching band. So I added a brief French horn passage with cello in a short classical treatment to herald the arrival of Venus and a nod to the Renaissance painting of the Goddess of Love.

Times have been hard on you and I.
Our blinds have been drawn blocking out the sunshine.
Let's pull them up and let's see what we may find.
For I need your love, you'll always have mine.
My love. You're my love. 

I'm mesmerized by your beauty and your mind.
Still, after these years, I'm amazed that you're mine.
Especially after my mistakes and selfish times.
I must hold on to you for you are divine.

my love

Along my way -
I´ve been hurt.
Too many times.
Enough is enough.

You bring out – the devil in me!

Thank you for listening :)

Lyrics:

You looked at yourself in the mirror
A tear fell down your cheek..
Your skin is covered with scars
from when you hurt yourself
And thought you were worthless and weak...

But you are so beautiful
Even with you're scars
that you don't want anyone to see..
Your eyes tell the truth
They show who you are
You don't have to hide your scars from me...

You felt so much emptiness and pain
Didn't know how to feel good..
Your solution was to hurt yourself
When you felt like no one understood...

But you are so beautiful
Even with your scars
that you don't want anyone to see...
Your eyes tell the truth
They show who you are
You don't have to hide your scars from me..

Let your scars remind you of your strength
Dont hide them, they're apart of who you are..

Cause you are so beautiful
Even with your scars
that you don't want anyone to see..
Your eyes tell the truth
They show who you are
You don't have to hide your scars from me...

I met Dave Bayes on soundcloud, with his beautiful compositions and excellent guitarplay. We had already worked together. I needed a beautiful instrumental and he needed a voice,...look what happened. Hope you like it!

Zen warrior lyrics

I’m not the kind of girl
That you see in me
I not even come close to who you want me to be
You see in me some kind of fighter in your fantasy
You call me zen warrior
Well it isn’t me, it isn’t me it isn’ t me , no  no

I’m mostly calm and at ease, my breath is deep as a soft slow breeze
Live and let live, avoid the negative
I am I am I am totally zen
(4x)

You never see me start a fight
but don’t attack me
Don’t touch my basic right 
Wanna stay out of trouble
Don’t wanne make it double
Zen warrior zen warrior
