This Fear of Falling - PROMO CUT

01 Somday's On Its Way

i'm sorry that you 
want me with you 
to sail your darkest sea

i offered my light 
if you'd open your eyes 
long enough to see

you're lost 
i can see this from the shore 
and i'm here 
on this island i adore

you curse the wind 
and say its not been 
good to you

you're mind is the sail 
from which your hell 
will end or begin

you're lost 
i can see this from the shore 
and i'm here 
on this island i adore

i'm sorry that you 
want me with you 
to sail your darkest sea

as long as i have 
one grain of sand 
there's nowhere else for me

you're lost 
i can see this from the shore 
and i'm here 
on this island i adore

this island i adore



02 This Island I Adore

to live - to try 
to feel like i'm alive 
to walk on a wire 
above all this fire

i've got this fear of falling 
i've got this fear of falling 
i've got this fear of falling 
this fear of falling

of all the fires 
of all the flames 
the one desire 
i had won't go away

i've got this fear of falling 
i've got this fear of falling 
i've got this fear of falling 
this fear of falling

04 All The Love Thats Gone To Waste

I'd like to record this song soon, maybe just as a single along with completing "distant sounds". My goal is to create a crescendo with this song similar to The National song Runaway, without losing the intimacy. Not necessarily the exact same instrumentation as Runaway, but similar percussion and slow build up...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSRtesvKWlo

You May Haunt My Every Song - DEMO VERSION

The artist Michael James Douglas from Tacoma Washington relies on melodic folk-inspired songs with tranquil harmonies and lush strings to create a meditative quality. His songs, with equal parts of pop sensibility and Leonard Cohen-esque melancholy, provide an emotional journey that will often lament the struggle to find peace within while ultimately allowing for the light of optimism to shine through.
