Flying Kites

Kite Flying

In Heaven

Lyrics written and performed by Peter Swarr.

City

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sprouted scent of growth
peeking through the snow
dancing languid sun
celebrate what's to come

Sanded trickled sky
flowers in your sigh
lated easy moon

Sayonara, still winter's cold
melted gray cold
bloom
Sayonara, tense bitter winds
no longer dim
bloom

Shining more brightly
and lightly the days last longer and mellow
forgiving at pace
listen for chirping 
observing that life starts waking and stirring
a blossoming sound

Flourishing gardens
the first ardent bumble bee buzzing tirelessly
past the trees
tiny closed buds are
opening leisurely catching sunshine
holding out their leaves

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

小さな世界 By Unmo

Green In Blue (2023)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

misted, scatter the scent of fallen thoughts
memory
let me

forget, all of the silhouetted stars
praying towards open sky
over moon


pastel cherry tree
petals softly
decorate the air


distant cooing sung by a mourning dove
tenderly
pleading

glisten, dipping my hands into a stream
kneeling below open sky
under sun

reaching further into a diamond brook
running cool
through me

gloomy forest of black and white
dreaming beckons out to me
under moon


pastel cherry tree
petals softly
decorate the air

how this current flows
thawing winter snow
if the winds could speak


blinking, is it the butterfly or me?
back and forth
between

sleeping slowly I stand up on my feet
gazing below to the ground
over moon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cocoon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twisting splinter
sink into my heart, into my coffin
don't hold back
show me light

Dracula in the day
burn, turn into ash, turn into clay
don't be scared
face the light

Never ending digging in my side
slowly trickle until it runs dry
sand by sand
drop by drop

Counting backwards from the edge of ten
reincarnation? no, not again!
falling through green and blue

Molded ivy slithers
guarding a story
ravens scavenge death

Shadow is surrounding
what was that movement...?
secondary presence

Never ending digging in my side
slowly trickle until it runs dry
sand by sand 
drop by drop

Counting backwards from the edge of ten
reincarnation?  no, not again!
falling through green and blue

Cycle blankly waiting hammer drop
heavy chamber carry the wish shot
can you hear drawing near..?

Counting backwards from the age of sin
reincarnation? no, not again!
falling through green and blue

More Green and More Blue

FLCL Last Dinosaur (Re-Mixed)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pour a cup of tea, dear, and wait
Is it up to we, dear, or fate?
Have you ever come to believe
That we aren't that which we see
Did it have to be this way?

Take a sip of green tea

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Green Tea

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Autumn, a crispy crunch
Running around a tree
Autumn, a crispy sea of leaves
Autumn, early night
Sunning behind the sky
Autumn.

Harvest dance in tune
Dance below the moon

Golden fields of wheat
Burgundy sky's there to greet
Fleeting wind brings a chill
Stubborn heavy clouds still

Drifting, crumbled leaf
Running around the sky
Drifting, about to meet its end
Wilted greenery
Laying around a tree
Autumn

Golden shade in the sky
Waving to sun bye, bye, bye
Staring eyes straight to the moon
Harvest dancing in tune

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harvest Dance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tick, tick, tock 
Counting past the night air
Swish, swish, schwee 
Dances tree branch

Tock, tock, tick 
Moon following sea
Clouds come in 
Heavy small liquid

Umbrella in the rain
Where is your home?
Mascara in the rain
You're melting slow

Digital, crying out from the sky
Is what you are a falling star?
Digital, (crying out) from the rain
You're melting slow

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Digital Kabuki Actress (Umbrella In The Rain)

I re-recorded this cover song cause I thought the other one had a really poor mix.  Singing stands out more, a little more acoustic, nice vibes, doesn't hurt your ears lol.

(FLCL) Bran New Love Song

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Castle made of glass
Mask of sand
Sky made of the sea
Sword inside the tree

Falling upside down
Crown the moon
Beyond atmosphere
Planet that can hear

Falling Upside Down

This is a song I wrote for the game "Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon".

I also like how it resembles the playing of Harold Budd.
