✨ Happy Flower Moon 🪷🌕 
I started learning how to play guitar during the pandemic, and this was the first song I wrote completely on electric. The story is about falling so far in love I ended up in what seemed like another dimension. Though it often felt far from reality and I couldn’t stay there forever, it was such a beautiful space to float 🤍
I’m particularly proud of this one because it’s the first song I’ve written, performed, produced, mixed and mastered all by myself, so to find its full fruition on the flower moon which represents renewal and vibrant growth feels amazing. 
Pre-save at the link in my bio and enjoy the ride 🥰

chorus:
I wanna go meet you at the base 
as you hold on my waist

I wanna go, be the end of your day  
dim the lights for the next excursion 
I wanna rock on your boat, feel the waves, til the leo-prints start to show 
i’ll be 
looking for you, looking for you
looking for you, looking for you, yeah
I wanna lose my mind to the pace that you hold me in 
like my necklace 
yeah, the contracts signed 
while we fight all night 
you know i'm controlling  
cause you’ll get your way 
you will get your way
cause you know i’ll be here 
wanting all you, wanting all you
wanting all you, wanting all you, yeah

Lyrics: 
Your eyes 
They’re bringing out a side of me
Gold, your mind is a mine to me
Faces, but you’re the only one I see
A vision of Brown & green hmmmmmmm

Red wine,
Tell me bout your history 
Comfort in familiarity 
Feed me, pages of philosophy
Love how your teaching me

I just wanna spend these nights with you
And wake up  in the morning
Lets fly 
Making our own meaning
Coz Were living for right now
And we don’t need to know the how

Landed
Despite all of our Differences
Loving 
in our different languages 
Different cities, time zones, tell me where did the time go?
Hop on a plane for your lovin,
I’ll go insane for you 

I just wanna spend these nights with you
And wake up  in the morning
Lets fly 
Making our own meaning
Coz Were living for right now
And we don’t need to know the how

We’re living for the now
And we don’t need to know the how
