Kantation seeks the "Hottest Girl You Know"

a song I co-wrote with Nano Lugo... in honor of my little brother, Jason, who passed some years ago in a car accident. RIP
---lyrics---
I know that I will never see
your smile back at me
There one day then you're gone
Life taken suddenly

Took me time to realize
just what it meant to me
A parting gift left behind
for what I'm meant to be

Light it up
You wont live forever
Light it up
Light it up
You wont live forever
Light it up
Dying to live again
Living it to the end
Dying to live again

Play the card you have been dealt
you must confront the grief
But turn around and you will find
a power is unleashed

We all share a common thread
surviving any storm
So take a hold and carry on
Take flight and you will soar

A cover of a well known tune. I was commissioned by a game developer to record a "creepy version" of this song for use in a soon-to-be-released game on the Nintendo Wii. I enlisted the help of Jeremy Jimison & Bryant Crawford - and we had ourselves a spooky cover ;-)

LYRICS:



that is all I need from you for now
kiss goodnight and you will show me how
you stole my taste as I picked at the plate

maybe you can shift
maybe I will steer
poetry is waxed
but this is not the near

I can see the light ahead of you
moving even slower than the view
I am done, but you had all the fun

you dial now of all times, wait
did you just ask to hesitate
recline my seat, but gears are blocked
Begin to dine make sure it's locked

the light
so bright
turn right
turn right

maybe you can shift
maybe I will steer
poetry is waxed
but this is not the near

I can see the light ahead of you
moving even closer than the view
I am done, but you had all the fun

Thirty One and Zero Two
at the fifth month
before the two
the five will meet after the twelve
the dancing frogs
the Rite Aid's closed
