„Return to the Light” is the final piece in Spring Awakening: Songs of Renewal.
Like the first rays after a long night, it gently guides us back to our source—the light within.

This song is a soft resolution, a reminder that the path was never about seeking something new, but about remembering what has always been.

Peaceful, luminous, and warm, it brings the album to a quiet close, opening the heart to new beginnings.\n\n✨ MagicMind Glow – You Are Light... You Are It All. ✨

Return to the Light

Niccolo

Some words don’t have a place in conversation.
Not because they’re not important—but because they’re too real.
“Words I Don’t Use” is an intimate dive into the unsaid:
apologies with no address, affection without a name, questions that never made it out of the throat.
It’s about the words that live behind your teeth—like quiet guests, like unsent letters.
About midnight monologues in the mirror. About melodies hiding in silence.
About the fear that if you said it all out loud… you might disappear.

sometimes I think I’m made
of everything I didn’t say

Words I Don’t Use

Sitting on a cloud watching the world below
Tiny little lives moving fast and slow
Dreams are whispered soft where the breezes flow
From up here the chaos feels like a show

Cloud gazing .mp3

I woke up to see this massive white fella staring back at me, once again...

A Map Back To You

A touch of shadows, gently sway
In twilight's purple, where dreams softly lay
Whispers of amethyst, fill the air
Ribbons of nighttime, secrets laid bare

Underneath a canopy, where stories hide
In the hues of dusk, hearts collide

Soft lilac skies whisper secrets
Cloaked in mystery so deep
Shadows dance with violet sunsets
Silent promise they keep

In shades of purple, hearts unfold
A story of love untold

Deep indigo waves call out, their song untold
From moonlit paths, where spirits bold console
With every twilight, mysteries grow clear
In the velvety night, purple's allure is near

In shades of purple, love's magic spun
A world of dreams beneath the lavender Sun

Soft lilac skies whisper secrets
Cloaked in mystery so deep
And shadows dance with violet sunset
A silent promise they keep

In shades of purple, hearts unfold
A story of love untold

In shades of purple, love's magic spun
A world of dreams beneath the lavender Sun

Whispers of amethyst, fill the air
Ribbons of nighttime, secrets laid bare
Underneath a canopy, where stories hide
In the hues of dusk, hearts collide

Soft lilac skies whisper secrets
Cloaked in mystery deep
Shadows dance with violet sunset
A silent promise they keep

In shades of purple, hearts unfold
A story of love untold
In shades of purple, love's magic spun
A world of dreams beneath the lavender Sun

Mindy Chisholm - Shades Of Purple

Rain rain rain wind and rain
On the shores of Pontchartrain
Mississippi flood plain
New Orleans
Hurricane

Ride ride ride out the storm
Never been this bad before
Flood waters at the door
New Orleans
Easy no more

Now it’s rising
Rising rising
Rising high
The water’s rising
Rising rising
Rising high

Climb climb climb to the roof
SOS to the troops
Staying here was a goof
New Orleans
Ain't waterproof

Fly fly fly fly away
Coast Guard chopper saves the day
Where to now we can’t say
New Orleans
Is far away

Now it’s rising
Rising rising
Rising high
The water’s rising
Rising rising
Rising high

Drain drain drain the city dry
Tear it down and build it high
Make those levees touch the sky
New Orleans
Must never die
New Orleans
Must never die

Now it’s rising
Rising rising
Rising high
The city’s rising
Rising rising
Rising high

Lyrics
With You in My Life

Each day this life of ours keeps trying to put us down
I get down and out and lose my way
But there you are tugging on me keeping me afloat
Without you in my life I would surely drown

People in this life lie and cheat and make it hard to compete
We just keep going trying to do the right thing, not beat
Not beat, by lying or ruining someones life
We believe that if you keep doing right, eventually we will win

With you in my life, I keep getting up and facing up each day
I think I have told you so many times that I appreciate your ways
The love you give me everyday is what keeps me on the page
Do you know you are my hero and my love for you will never fade (I love you in every way)

So here is another day, someone has tried to make it hard
What they don’t realise is that together we will fight harder
We will bring truth to our days and find a way
I know this because your love is shining the way

With you in my life, I keep getting up and facing up each day
I think I have told you so many times that I appreciate your ways
The love you give me every day is what keeps me on the page
Do you know you are my hero and my love for you will never fade (I love you in every way)

I want to thank you for being in my life
Our love is strong and we stay strong
Each day we are in there swinging in life
A love like ours will keep on living

With you in my life, I keep getting up and facing up each day
I think I have told you so many times that I appreciate your ways
The love you give me every day is what keeps me on the page
Do you know you are my hero and my love for you will never fade (I love you in every way)

Falling Out Of  An Empty Sky

A modern ballad of waiting, longing, and return. “Come Home, My Love" is a lantern-lit hymn of devotion, where every line glows with timeless imagery—barley fields, letters scented with dust and cordite, windows lit with hope. Sung with tender power, it’s a story of holding the fire until love comes home.

Come Home, My Love

🎶 From Cassette Tapes to Creating My Own Sound 🎶

When I was a kid, music was more than background noise, it was my escape, my teacher, and my first real love. I’d sit with two cassette players, playing the Beatles on one and singing into the other, trying my best to match artists like Paul McCartney or Barbara Streisand’s range (sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much) 🤣. Homework could wait, lyrics in my wide rule notebooks couldn’t.

Life took me through winding roads, retail, hospitality, consulting, caregiving, but music never stopped calling. 45 years later, after many personal losses, and loosing one of my sons last year, I turned back to songwriting as therapy. Inspiration is all around me. Every song I create starts with raw lyrics, usually scribbled in one shot as I choreograph in my mind, then evolves into a fully produced track through hours of refining vocal coding,  instrumentation, and feel. I blend personal stories with AI driven music tools, letting technology and emotion work together to capture what I hear and see in my head and heart.

Now, I’m finally sharing it. Not perfect, not polished to death, just real. This is me, finally putting the music out there for you to hear.
Peace & Love ❤️
