LYRICS

The world is a very difficult place to understand
And daunting though it is, we must have some plan
For intention is greater than any success
And the mind's eye knows more than it could ever address

But whichever way you speak or sing
You must remember this one thing
That when the spring sets or the trees go bare
You must never fear your own nightmare

For nightmares brood and nightmares steal
Yet upon a deeper look may heal
The secret lies in how you see it
For the goal is simply not to be it

Sing with me these final rhymes
That nothing disappears in time
But rather hides behind mind’s door, 
waiting for the key to explore

So you may dance with joy or dine
when you think it’s over, but you may find
that all along it lived and waited
But let it never leave you fated.

Whichever way you speak or sing
You must remember just one thing
That when the spring sets or the trees go bare
You must never fear your own nightmare.

"Dream of Other Love" is the first song released from my first "Album Garden," entitled Incandescent Garlic Bulbs. These Album Gardens will be a collection of songs that will over time grow into their finished form, and are my solution to the dilemma I've always had since I started making music, which is a tendency to assign all of my songs to future album projects on various timelines. I decided that I should instead comfortably release songs from many different album projects gradually, and work on each song at will and at my leisure, abandoning the idea that I should wait to release them in any particular order that I had originally planned. Music is about freedom, and this dilemma was the least freeing aspect of my process. Each album garden will be at different stages of development and growth throughout my career as a musician; they will bloom as I tend to them, some faster and some slower to grow than others, despite that every seedling and full blown flower will live forever.

lyrics
It's true every night I dream about love
and wonder what it might be like...

I think about it all, hoping someday I'll
be able to find someone I can call mine

I know it will be hard, and the truth is that my heart
Sometimes seems like it's going to believe
It's always going to be this way.

"Quite I do wonder
why it is that
we can’t make the people
we love
love us back

Kids’ lessons: artforms
all dark and all bright
yet forgotten entirely
to stifling life

In the night once
dreamed I
death of my light
of rouge and of fire
and a slaughterer’s knife

only the bad sights
Eye let me see
Only parts seemed dead
of a living psyche

But plenty of grace is here;
Left To Me by—dark energy, too, for that’s all that could be—
my race, if not grace left entirely

Hark:
I am much more
than what dreams claim to be

And so, regardless,
though be it I may

‘I
Do Not Believe I Am Dead—any way.’ ”

And in my mind I don't believe
I'll ever find the time to leave
This wonderful daydream I live within whenever I cry

But sometimes I think 'bout how it could be
A rose, a bouquet painted marvelously

We'd go shopping often,
Go to parks all the time
It'd be splendid
if we keep our love in mind.

I don't see myself going anywhere else...
And I hope that you'd believe in us as much as I do
I don't want it to be like every other time they'd woo me

And keep me in their arms only for as far as they'd choose.

It's true that every night
I dream what it'd be like
To find the loving heart
that sought of mine.

dream of other love (Perfect version)

This is the result of a random song challenge I created where I shuffled through my playlist, and gave myself 1 hour to learn, arrange, and record a cover of whichever song it landed on. This is the song that was chosen for my by the algorithm gods, and just so happens to be one of my favorite songs ever.

Black Sabbath - Into The Void (cover)

Oh, we’re in The Celestial 

We reached out for time
And in return 
We got a box
of golden fire
We drew the blind
and took it all off 
In the celestial

Oh, We ventured afar (ventured afar)
to find our hearts (to find out hearts)
and best of all (and best of all)
to find the celestial.
 
Nothing else matters to us now
We got time for this and that and that is how
We found the right thing for us and our power
We’re unstoppable, we’re infallible
In the sense that we are so valuable
And we value all of our hearts and souls 
Above all the world.
In the celestial

Right now, don’t worry about how
Take the scene in like wow
That’s what’s been missing, some shout-outs
So shimmy shimmy shimmy up, hear me now

Thousands of cities sound
in unison 
I’ve seen these singers sing in big wide reiki rounds

About how
What they’re singin’ about  
Will wash out, burn down
And grow back any way you want it

Look at the clock, tickety tock
But we’ll never sto-op 
Hammer nails, dice and chop up
I like the sound of it all  
We’re breaking down the old walls
To build the new cathedrals 

It’s as messy as it sounds,
it’s a mess here on the ground
It’s a mess and there’s no way ‘round it
Oh, here in the celestial

Brick by brick, cemented, building up our spirits, (you don’t wanna miss this)
In the celestial 
brick by brick, cemented, building up our spirits, (you don’t wanna miss this)
in the celestial.
Brick by brick, cemented, building up our spirits, (you don’t wanna miss this)
in the Celestial
In the Celestial
In the Celestial
In the Celestia;

We’re in the celestial
in the celestial 
in the celestial 
in the celestial 
in the celestial
in the celestial 

in the celestial 
in the celestial
in the celestial
in the celestial 
In the Celestial

In the Celestial 1/2 (Heartsong verse)

Paradigm in Time - "How?"

https://linktr.ee/paradigmintime

lyrics:
Take me
Put some shoes on my hands
Let's walk with our eyes
Can you see, the moon came out early today
It's gonna be cloudy skies
We better prepare, because you know what's coming
I feel no one ever listens
even though they say "knowledge is power,"
but what do they know?
Take a back seat, take a ride and drive
When will we know
We've got to say
What's on our souls
Because today will come and go
as fast as falling snow
The rain will say, "I'll see you again,
in the shape of everything you've
ever wanted but can't have."
It's gonna make you so sad.
But in the end, it will soon be so much fun
There will be carnival rides,
endless things to do,
endless adventure.
Keep going on the trail and you'll find
Your piece of the pie
Go a little further, and you'll see
every vision you've ever spoken of
with just luck and a fire place
you'll be able to scry into your mind.

How? (Which of These does not Belong / Do you Know what's Coming?)

"Sosoodd" by Paradigm in Time

LYRICS:
I waited all my life
It never came

So when I died
I saw it framed

It arrived in a beautiful package
in the fire.

I opened it up
guess what it was?
It wasn't enough
I don't know what of

But the day I saw you
Was the same day I knew
The same day I knew...

Who would be the one
to show me the right way to go.

I swear, I swear, I swear I know
I swear, I swear, I swear I know
I swear, I swear, I swear I know.

You opened up the door for me.
But plainly as I could see, love wasn't
anywhere to be found.

So, so odd, yeah
So, so odd, is it not?
So, so odd, yeah
So, so odd, is it not?
So, so odd
So, so odd
So, so odd.

Sosoodd

I'm gonna speak my heart and ask...
"where were you when I needed you?"
You must have been doin somethin grand,
on a planet somewhere else,
it only makes sense
that's what you were doing when
I called you, again.

Oh, I must admit,
I waited so long, too long

Where were you
when I needed a friend?

Where, Oh Where

Lyrics:

On loop, on loop, on loop, on loop
on loop
on loop, on loop, on loop
on loop
on loop, on loop, on loop
on loop
on loop on loop on loop on loop
on loop
ah  

Whatcha know about me?
I could start a fire
Je m'appelle Lauren,
and this is Summer Time.
witchy, steamy, tacky
with blood of chloroplasts
you’re listening to fire beats
got Venus on my side
Go, and send the blackest rose
to free the chapel hoes from the gutter!
If they get trapped, you’ll know
It’s in the water.

Baby you’ve got a chance
to see God
oh, but your job is just to
lead the people south.

Go on
and kiss the sun, you bad apple
don’t wait for them to check your pulse
cause in an instant you’ll be gone!

Fire in the sky and in your soul
I’m busy, sayonara, gotta (3, 2, 1) Go!
Sorry, it’s just this time I got a lot
To lose
Get it down, go to town, and keep it 
On loop!

Ay!

Wallow in Sorrow with Tyrone
Get stuck, is it worth it? it’s all gone :(
yeah, Or take it,
you’ll make it, you’ll find it
start being selfish with time 
Strap up and get on the ride 
take what is yours, I’ll take mine

Oh, you’ll either lead or you’ll follow
you’ll either lead or you’ll follow. You’ll lead or you’ll
Stop. Go! Stop. Go! Stop. Go! Stop. Go!

Get more
Still, there’s no shame in settling for
The life
that makes you feel the most secure
Just be
aware, that pretty soon you’ll die
And know
Catching a dream’s just gonna take some time...

So go do something!

There’s no time to waste!

(You) gotta set your sights on
Do or die or do or die oh
You can do it, fear won’t stand a chance!

Oh, crash and burn out
on loop!
Shout it all out
on loop
get it all out
on loop
make it all a-
bout you
how you like that?
On loop
time to attack-ack
on loop
bring sexy back-ack
on loop
on loop, on loop, on loop, on l∞p...

"We Shall See What's Beyond" from the single Belinda and Samuel by Paradigm in Time.
You'll find all of my official music here: https://paradigmintime.bandcamp.com/

LYRICS:
We could see everything from afar
But I could never tell the color of your eyes

“Do you think there is a city beyond our little forest?”
Asks Belinda to Samuel as she pours her collection of gemstones
From a leather satchel into her palm, and holding her compass high
She breathes deeply and excitedly into the crisp air
And places her hand upon her friend’s shoulder then turns to face him;
Both of them beam at one another until the changing of the winds
Begins challenging their hearts ‘till they feel that it’s willed them to run!

They follow a stream into the deep forest,
and then sense among the trees and flowers
All the powerful life forms of Earth that are watching over them,
And instead of being afraid,
the young boy and girl reach into their pockets
And throw handfuls of gem shards into the skies, barely caring where they land.
For they know that the forest will call this an offering,
for it is the price that they are willing to pay
for their humble intrusion.
And though it is midday,
some of the resident animals are still asleep—
They all awaken at different times
and Lin and Sam want to be as courteous
As they can as they rush across the forest floor, snapping twigs
and rustling grass and leaves and squishing fruits
and kicking up soil and standing on stones as they go on their way.
They sing apologies in the form of gay lullabies
to assure the creatures that they
needn’t take offense,
and they are just passers-by
trying to reach the other end of the wood.
‘We shall see what’s beyond, Samuel,’ cries Belinda
as she runs against the steady breeze.
‘We shall come a little closer each day;
And we will cover new ground every time,
And tomorrow we’ll go a little further than we will go today.
But we must soon return,
otherwise we’ll be trapped in the
Heaviness of the night on our way back home.’

They run for a long while longer until they reach
a thick patch of purple bushes,
Where Pearla the great white hen is perched
Belinda steps over to her, holds her hand out towards her to pet her and sings,

‘Dear Pearla, great bird of the towering violas,
Will you please give us a ride back the way we came?’
And the grand bird obliges, and lets them mount her back
And she runs like a mobile moon through the woods as the forest
grows dark with the sunset of the evening.

Afterwards the children thank the bird, then dismount, and wave their goodbyes
And Pearla then dashes with mighty legs back once more through the now dusky wood,
As the children follow the path back home to the little cottage,
Where from the window the girl’s mother sees them and calls out:

‘Belinda! Samuel!
Come on over here
Dinner has been served.
Come along and fuel yourselves
For your travels.
Don’t you know you’ve got a lot to learn
From each other before you die?’

We must crown this day with greatness
We must drown ourselves in life
We must rush towards our friends
And take them with us

To the ends of time.

Belinda and Samuel
