The first song that, to me, was on par with singer-songwriters I look up to. Written around 1999.

Dreamcatcher

from Ari's 6th album "Sunset Over Hope Street"

One Track Mind(from Ari's 6th Album SUNSET OVER HOPE STREET)

V:   I'm disappointed with this modern life
      Missing tried and true ways we've left behind
      I'm stuck where I am
      I'd go back but I can't

Ch: Can I stop falling in love
      With voices that are gone
      Can I stop falling in love
      With places that are lost
      Can I stop falling in love
      With the past, with the past

V:  Living through well-worn words in black and white
     Old fashioned and sweet a simpler time	
     I'm singing old songs
     But no one sings along

Br:  I'm here I'm now
      I'm here I'm now
      I need to make my peace somehow


The Past

                              

Hey Hey Love

He Brings her flowers he picked by the road
She gives him a tape of their favorite songs
And they listen all night
Happy and quiet

He walks her home while holding her hand
Kisses her smile and they make more plans
Both say goodnight
Feeling so high

It’s a dying language
The art of romance
It’s a dying language
Don’t let us forget
Don’t let us forget

One dish of ice-cream and two plastic spoons
They read their poems by the light of the moon
Talk through the night
All feels so right

Dying Language

Set Me Free

"Clouds and Colours"

The Light

I wrote this during a time I was losing my beliefs.

Lyrics:

"ARE YOU THERE?"

When I kneel all alone
And the answers won’t come
And my soul’s cold as stone
are you there?

When my mind’s caving in
And my heart’s soaked in sin
and my eyes have grown dim
are you there?

CHORUS:

I believe, I believe
Please help my unbelief
I’ll trust you, I’ll trust you, Lord.
By faith I, by faith i
hang on your every word
Help me Lord, help me believe.

When I lie on my bed
and the darkness instead
of the light fills my head
are you there?

When the feelings don’t come
that were promised by some
and my life’s come undone
are you there?

Rothesay Vineyard

Are You There?

lyrics:

don't say you love me - or that you want me now...
don't say you want me - or that you love me now...

never been this high
i'm scared of heights
i'm scared of falling down.
never in this life
have i swam in sunlight
i'm scared i'm gonna drown.

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...

just say you love me - and that you want me now...
just say you want me - and that you love me now...

close the door
and hold me tight...
don't ever let me go
when i saved your life
you saved me from myself...
don't let that go...

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
