Poolside is a song about life's inequalities of class and gender based on a scene I witnessed around a hotel pool in Crete many years ago.

August’s Song: Rosalind’s Brownies from The Penderwicks 

The recipe is at the end *BUT!* it’s actually MY sister’s Blue Ribbon county fair recipe from when we were little. She said I could share it 🤗

I love the Penderwick books and their fierce loyalty and fun! They remind me of my own siblings and our adventures growing up. 

I thought it would be a good exercise to zoom into a particular moment in the books, the making of brownies by the eldest sister for her younger siblings. 
It’s a waltz with the focus on the movements of baking in honor of the two sisters who love music and dance. 
But there are measurements for the sister who loves math. 
And for the sister who writes, the chorus zooms back out into the narrative of their sibling-hood. 

The Penderwick Family Honor. Better together, together forever. 

So, here’s my love song to my own siblings! 💕

Baby & I

Un Dia Normal.mp3

we've got to keep them close
precious pages, boxset cases
the likings youve amassed
you autumn enthusiast
we've only got one brain
only so much we can absorb in a day
cant stop the pictures playing
whilst we lie there contemplating
how could we rehearse?
for such a blessing, such a curse
how can we perform?
in such a strange time to be
born into an age
where don't shake and hands aren't raised
and long gone people are praised
for the hands they shook and the questions they raised
its easy to believe
humanity has an ace up its sleeve 
who will save us? the trees
or it looks as though we're down on our knees

A Strange Time

7. The Adventures Of Sky And Friends Part 4

This is quite a sad song written from the perspective of a person who has lost someone through suicide.

Veronika Lebetskaya - Plan It Earth (with backing voices)(2)

This is my first original song! Hope you like it, and there's hopefully more to come :)

Lyrics:
Oh how does one survive your grace?
You lick your lips as you say it to my face.

"This love between the two of us, would never last.
You don't love me, you love the memories of our past."

I'll wait
Tenth grade

"I swear to you, honey, this love I have for you is real.
For years it hasn't faded, it is still the way i feel."

"Well it's nice to know you like me, and I like you quite as well.
But the way I like you is different, I'm sure that you can tell."

"Well how can I make you feel more like I do?
Cause no matter what is goin' on, I always think of you."

"I do not know my dear friend, if I will ever reciprocate.
But I guess with time some things might change, and if you want to you can wait."

"There's nothing else I would want more, if it means a chance with you.
To make up for all the lost time and all the chances that I blew."

"Why is it that you feel this way? What is so special about me?
I'm just a normal girl you've known for years, now what is it that you see?"

"To be honest babe I don't quite know, don't think I'll ever know for sure.
But I will never feel this way again, and I never have before."

"You know this conversation ain't real? It's only in your head.
Writin' down the way you feel on a notepad in your bed."

I'll wait
I'll wait
