Olivia Dean - Man I Need (Lost Kings Remix)

Poetry to song. Signifies a time in my life where I almost lost myself. I am soo worthy of loving everything that I have.

DOORWAYS

Writing songs - completely rewrote my poem into song verse - had to add more lyrics so not the true form of the poem but made sense musically. My original poem was a tough read for being stuck in a relationship and losing myself. I would stare at the ceiling asking myself - what am I doing.

CEILING

Poetry to song - another one of my poems turned song. This was swirling around my head at one time, giving me doubts but it really is just about trusting your heart.

(Verse 1)
In solitude, you’ll face your fears,  
Even those you thought had disappeared.  
You’ll sit and wish them all away,  
But nothing will change unless you choose to stay.  

(Chorus)
Don’t leave, stay and learn,
You can be the man you’ve always yearned.
In the quiet, your truth appears,
Face the storm, dry your tears.

Don’t run, breathe, return,
Every scar’s a way to learn.
You’ll find your strength where shadows turn
Don’t leave, Stay and learn.

(Verse 2)
In darkness, you’ll battle your mind,  
Finding a mourning song just before bedtime.  
Reach out to the one who shows you care,  
Rest, brother, for tomorrow is near, don’t despair.  

(Chorus)
Don’t leave, stay and learn,
You can be the man you’ve always yearned.
In the quiet, your truth appears,
Face the storm, dry your tears.

Don’t run, breathe, return,
Every scar’s a way to learn.
You’ll find your strength where shadows turn
Don’t leave, Stay and learn.

(bridge)
You’ve made mistakes, yes,  
And apologized for every one, nothing less, nothing fake.  
Now, learn, love, and lean once more,  
Into the person you must trust, deep at your core.  

(Chorus)
Don’t leave, stay and learn,
You can be the man you’ve always yearned.
In the quiet, your truth appears,
Face the storm, dry your tears.

Don’t run, breathe, return,
Every scar’s a way to learn.
You’ll find your strength where shadows turn
Don’t leave, Stay and learn.

(Chorus)
Don’t leave, stay and learn,
You can be the man you’ve always yearned.
In the quiet, your truth appears,
Face the storm, dry your tears.

Don’t run, breathe, return,
Every scar’s a way to learn.
You’ll find your strength where shadows turn
Don’t leave, Stay and learn.

(Spoken word)
He loves you. So breathe.

STAY

A moody dark industrial hyper pop track that would be great in an underground warehouse at 2am. 

Black Ice

A surreal dream collapsing into heartbreak and betrayal. 

Glass Between Us

Ghost of Us

Poetry to song - this was based off a short poem that grew into this semi serenade plea. That declaration that no one really heres.

Original poem ... by Ricky White:

I fear the possibility of heartbreak
The pain of falling helplessly only to lose myself again,
Its haunts my dreams and clouds my decisions

So I walk beside you cautiously
Opening slightly, letting you see glimpses of me
Like sunshine leaving for the day I set slowly. 

STAY

Ricky D White
