Nakatomi Showdown

An original song about walking in a graveyard. Music by me. Lyrics adapted from several poems by Jean Elliot, former Poet Laureate of the State of Virginia. Put together with the Reaper DAW using a variety of instruments for the music, with the vocals created using the Natalie voice in SynthesizerV Studio Pro.

-- LYRICS --

VERSE 1
I walk on these graves, the dead beneath my feet.
They rest in silence so complete, 
That none can ever hear, hear their sighing.
They who escaped from the noise, they need never listen anymore.

CHORUS 1
I know I envy them this quiet, this silence.
This garden eternal, call it heaven, heaven beneath the grass.

VERSE 2
I’m oh so careful of the flowers in this grass, 
So my feet don’t bruise them as I pass,
Through this verdant island of paradise.
The angels guarding here will find
No other blossoms more fair.

CHORUS 2
That’s why I envy the dead this quiet, this silence.
This garden eternal, call it heaven, heaven beneath the grass.

INTERLUDE
What a beautiful place to be dead.

VERSE 3
Shall I walk in this place the whole night through?
If I grow lonely should I think, my sweet, of you?
Nestled in this graveyard.
But when daylight blues the sky and negates the moon,
The space between us remains, will I join you soon? 

CHORUS 3
Till then I envy the you this quiet, this silence.
This garden eternal, call it heaven, heaven beneath the grass.

Beneath The Grass

I close my eyes and I drift away to a place that I can hear you say I love you
Sometimes you seem so far away even though I know you always say I’ll never leave you
And I know that what you say is true, I know it’s me and it’s not you because you love me
I need to learn to trust you now, and you’ve given me no reason to doubt that you love me

Oh my love I hope you realize, that when I look into your eyes, I’ll always love you
I’m never all that far away, just call me up and I will say how much I love you
I want you to know that my love is true, and I am completely devoted to you and only you
I thank the Lord for giving me you, for your loving heart that’s always true, please know that I love you
I love you
I love you
Whoa oh oh

Lets close our eyes and drift away to that place that we will always say I love you
And we will never turn away and things will always turn out OK, when we say I love you
And you know one thing that is true, no matter what we’ll make it through, whatever happens
This love we have that God gave to us, is built on love, faith and trust, and were thankful, yeah
Whoa oh oh
Oooh oooh
Oh oh
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah

Chronicles from the Stars - Preset Demo Mix

Danté’s Divine Comedy set to music. Lyrics adapted from the opening of the Purgatorio cantos. Wording is approximately 70% original (from the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow translation), the remaining lines I modified to replace some of the more obscure mythological references. Music by me. Put together with the Reaper DAW and a variety of instruments for the music, with the vocals created using the Natalie voice in SynthesizerV Studio Pro.

LYRICS-
VERSE 1
With snow-white veils and garments as of flame, 
I stand before you, who so long ago
Filled your young heart with passion and woe, 
From which your song and all its splendors came ;
And why, with stern rebuke, I speak your name, 

VERSE 2
The ice around your heart melts as the snow
On mountains high, and it swiftly overflows,  
Comes gushing from your lips in sobs of shame.
You make full confession; it leaves a tear in your eye, 
As a dew drop at dawn in some dark forest nigh, 

VERSE 3
And as you lift your face to meet my gaze;  
You see me and know me — those remembered days
And  the forgotten sorrow — they bring at last 
That perfect pardon which is perfect peace.

BRIDGE
Remembered days, forgotten sorrows.

VERSE 4
With snow-white veils and garments as of flame, 
I still stand before you, as we take this road,
Your  heart filled  with passion and hope 
From which your journey and all its splendors came;
And why, with gentle breaths, I still speak your name.

Fell in love with Tangerine Dream circa Rubycon & Ricochet era, and stayed in love with all things synth & computer ever since.  Nowadays listen to a lot of melodic & uplifting trance, progressive & deep house.
