HTaylormade - Where Am I?

This song describes a nightmare scenario for a would-be groom who finds himself in church on his wedding day NOT wanting to go through with it. The laid-back, lounge-jazz feel belies the sheer terror of the situation.
This song was a Finalist in the American Songwriting Awards in 2014.

LYRICS:
Dawn breaks, high stakes,
Life-long mistakes
Cold feet, can't eat 
Beat a retreat 

New shoes, full pews
Can he refuse?
Fall guy in black tie
Speaks vows, thinks lies 

Although you know that all will smile 
All you can see's a blind aisle

Deep flaws beneath gauze 
Worse still - the in-laws 
No fan of her clan 
Should be best man 
 
Although you know that all will smile 
All you can see's a blind aisle 
A blind aisle  
A blind aisle  


Blind Aisle

This song was inspired by a line from Dani Shapiro's Still Writing.
It's a song about the challenges of long-term love.
Lyrics below: 

I don’t need you anymore
I don’t need you anymore
You’re like the coat I shrugged off
On that warm summer’s evening
Autumn never came

I don’t need you anymore
I don’t need you anymore
You’re like the watch I wear
On my wrist everyday
I use my phone
To tell the time

Everything has changed
Endless years are smothering my heart
Everything must change
I can’t stop from tearing us apart
Everything has changed, my love
Everything must change
Cos I’m not the same

I don’t see you anymore
I don’t see you anymore
When they tell me how gorgeous
You’re looking tonight
I turn away to hide my surprise

I don’t hear you anymore (I’m sorry)
I don’t hear you anymore
You’re the hum of any engine
The tapping of the rain
I’ve heard it all before.

Everything has changed
Endless years are smothering my heart
Everything must change
I can’t stop from tearing us apart
Everything has changed, my love
Everything must change
os I’m not the same

Morning sameness
Evening staleness
Summer’s stifling
Winter’s bleak
Morning sameness
Evening staleness
Always stifling

Everything has changed
Everything has changed
Everything must change
Everything must change

Cos I’m not the same
Cos you’re just the same

This song is for when you wonder - Am I living the right life? I hope it will inspire in times of doubt. Live your dreams today because tomorrow never comes. And because you can do it. We can do it 😊.

Midlife Musings is the lead single from my album I'm Too Old to Die Young, which you can get at www.nazneenrahman.com or any streaming service.

Lyrics: 
Caught me selling out the dreams
I told you long ago
I make my excuses
You don’t care

Caught you sliding round the principles
You used to own
You make your excuses
I don’t care

Look at all the pieces now
See the missing pieces now
Do you have a picture you love
Did you paint the picture you dreamed of

All of us are getting by
No time to be starry-eyed
Keeping up and buckling down
Dreams are for tomorrow
But tomorrow never comes
Drowning in our busy lives
Hiding in our empty highs
Wondering what we really need

Time slips through our fingers
Teasing us with promised lands
We’re out of excuses
No one cares

Look at all the reasons now
Do you know the reasons now
Do you have a picture you love
Did you paint a picture you’re proud of

Fools gold
Shiny but cold
Always out of reach
We don’t practice what we preach
Lives spent
Never content
Always in between
You know what I mean

Do you have a picture
Did you paint the picture
We must paint the pictures we love
Dream over, start over, paint over, 
Love
