Reality’s a fine veneer.  Your harmonies are haunting and beautiful and dissonance later in the tune takes us even further out away from reality.  Love the lyric Reality’s a fine veneer.  Beautifully done my dear – thank you for sharing and keep up the excellent work!  :o)

Oh yeah this is awesome. Great harmonies, they really add to the song instead of just accompanying the vocals. Lyrics are top notch too, this is something I'd definitely have on a playlist of mine, may with a touch more guitar presence. Great great stuff, you keep getting better every week!

Love the effects on your vocals, the harmonies are really well done. I’m amazed each week at how full your songs sound using mostly just a guitar and vocal tracks. This is a beautiful one, really lovely work.

Wow, this reels me in from the first line. Harmonies extremely effective. This is a killer melody. Soo atmospheric!  I really like this. Everything you are doing all contributes to the theme of the lyrics. Well done!

the moment I got to "if only I...." with the "oooohhhhsss" ..... I had goosebumps.  your lead vocal is so silky it only makes sense that your harmonies would be a total dream.   but that beginning was just a teaser.  what in the actual F*** inspired that hook progression.  It is HAUNTING because of that second chord.  that is SO unique and SO captivating - BRAVO WOW.  there should be some kind of trophy for that chord LOL.  brilliant.

A place, enchanting
Only in my mind
If only I could close my eyes

In light and shadows
Climbing up the walls
If only I could close my eyes

I’d fly so far away from here
Reality’s a fine veneer

Tonight in dreams 
I’ll dance up in the sky
If only i could close my eyes
 
Oh the fragile
Remnants of my sanity
If only i could close my eyes

I’d fly so far away from here
Reality’s a fine veneer

I’d fly so far away from here

If Only I Could Close My Eyes

Running With The Wolves (Cover)

Rain 				by Gina Fant-Simon and Marci Geller

VERSE 1
Elsa looks outside her window and longs for me
remembering when barren fields were green
the earth outside is cracking as her faith crumbles to dust 
and she’s waiting for the day when I’ll be

CHORUS 1
falling down
falling down
everyone wants me now
everyone wants me to start falling down

VERSE 2
Noah looks outside his window and curses me
remembering when covered fields were green
the earth outside is drowning and the clouds kidnapped the sun 
and he’s praying for the day I won’t be

CHORUS 2
falling down
falling down
everyone wants me now
everyone wants me to stop falling down

BRIDGE
I’m erosion, I sculpt the valleys
I fill the aquifers below
I bid my farewell to winter 
and wash away the snow
I can be a gentle shower 
or an angry hurricane 
do you know my name

VERSE 3
people taking me for granted, dismissing me
behaving as if nothing here has changed
our foundation is cracking and everybody looks away
gotta make sure their profits don’t start

CHORUS 3
falling down
falling down
it’s an avalanche now 
everything I believed, everything I believed
everything I believed is falling down - falling down

V1
This premature obsession        
is consuming everything
My head is stuck in heaven         
I can hear the angels sing 

V2
I heard your voice among them    
I am following the sound        
Trying to get close to you        
but can’t get off the ground 

PC
Your smile keeps me guessin’        
And you’ll never tell                        
Now I’ve got a question             
Do I have a chance in hell   

C  
If their worlds ever collide        
and their fireworks ignite             
Watch all the stars align          
Like she dreamed of all this time    

V3
I can’t seem to reach you        
though you’re not far away
The moment my lips open       
all my words evaporate        

V4
In my dreams we are together        
and there’s no wasted time                        
I found my voice and caught you                
I was brave enough to climb      

PC
Your smile keeps me guessin’        
And you’ll never tell            
Now I’ve got a question        
Do I have a chance in hell        

C  
If their worlds ever collide        
And their fireworks ignite                 
Watch the stars align            
Like she dreamed of all this time  

Like she dreamed of all this time
