Sweet Is The Night

From Indian Lakes-We Are Sick

Angelo, I’ve always wondered
what you’d say now
if you could only
come through

'Cause the devil don’t want 
what the devil won’t give you
all my hunger
all I need to 
tell you

Angelo, come to the river
Swim beside me
‘til the waters
Heal you

‘Cause the devil don’t know 
what the devil did to you
all my hunger
all I need to 
tell you

This is how we go on
Without all the things we wanted
This is how we go on 

Angelo, I should have saved you
kept your nights clean
held you with my
milk tooth

But the devil don’t want 
what the devil won’t give you
all my hunger
all I need to 
tell you

Angelo, this world is haunted 
drag your soul down
and leave you wanting 
some truth

‘Cause the devil don’t know 
what the devil did to you
all my hunger
all I need to 
tell you

This is how we go on
Without all the things we wanted
This is how we go on

I used to teach children of soldiers, and I had a few who lost their fathers in war. It was never easy to deal with these situations. This is dedicated to the children who have had to go through this while the rest of us live in peace because of their sacrifices.

A few years ago, I read Jane Warren Campbell's wonderful book Conversations with a Tree. I still go back to it for the wisdom it contains, and I have written more than one piece about it.

Enchanted Grove is an experience in music that parallels the experience of wandering through a forest of trees that touches your essence.

Enchanted Grove

Strange Times harkens a bit back to my youth in the 80s but also how I've been losing friends along the way as time passes on and they fade away especially as they pass on.

I first heard this in the film Youth, where Mark Kozelek makes an appearance! It's a beautiful and special film, catch it if you have the chance :).

I have always loved music. I grew up surrounded by music and sounds. I play the French horn and studied that at UGA and the Cincinnati College/Conservatory of Music. I started composing when I was in my 20s but stopped as I raised my two children. After my father passed away, I came back to creating music mostly for symphonic bands, but I also composed a bit for choir and orchestra. I am an avid gardener and rosarian. I still teach music. I am now a published author through Amazon Kindle. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9VZ76ZS?binding=hardcover&searchxofy=true&ref_=dbs_s_aps_series_rwt_thcv&qid=1719330636&sr=8-6
