01 Happy To Be Alive

Noel new Instrumental (no title)

Dmaj7
It happened in a different time
Gm7
Stars twisted above
Bm
It happened in a different time
E
When she was still in love
Dmaj7
It happened in a different time
Gm7
When men were doomed to die
Bm
It happened in a different time
E
When all the girls would cry
D
All the loving was in vain
E7
And all the tears washed in the rain
G              Gm                    D
And the earth took back the shadows in her brain

chorus
G                              Bb
All her worries, so many worries
D                   Gm7                   D
Fly across the universe and die!
G                            Bb
All her children, so many children
D                  Gm7                   D
Spread around the world and multiply                
Dmaj7

It happened, and she can’t forget
Gm7
Work would set you free
Bm
It happened, and she never met
E
Young boys, lovers to be
Dmaj7
Life is lived, and all is sad
Gm7
The love she wished she had
Bm
But it is here in front of her
E
Our love will set her free
D                                                    
All the sweat of the sun 
E7
and the tears of the moon
G      Gm                                       D
Could not save the men from walking to their doom

Chorus

Bridge
Gmaj7                                                     Fm
And when she heard him calling her name
Bm       Bm7                  E      E7
There was a sound, a whisper in the rain

Chorus

Outtro

Fly across the universe, spread around the world
Fly across the universe, spread around the world

Disruptive Angel (Lyrics)

Close that door behind, and let me pull the blinds
Enchant me with your voice, you block out all the noise
I know this dream ain’t true, and sadly so do you
It’s not my voice to keep but inside my veins it seeps

I wish you’d stay, I wish you’d stay
Keep this dream inside my head today
I know you have your life
I know you’ve taken strides
Some days we feel deprived and long to be alive

There’s a spark in your eyes, tells me to look inside
To see a beautiful mind, a heart so warm and kind
Let’s swim in the rain, it may just ease the pain
Or sing along a tune, you know, this dream is ending soon 

I wish you’d stay, I wish you’d stay
Keep this dream inside my head today
I know you have your life
I know you’ve taken strides
Some days we feel deprived and long to be alive

Many tides will rise, and sweep us through the night
A bleeding soul can heal, but all in do time

So let us open the blinds, set those guitars aside
You are always on my mind, two spirits intertwined
But if we fall inside, it may be hard to hide
So I’ll just stand aside, watch your blessing in the skies

I wish you’d stay, I wish you’d stay
Keep this dream inside my head today
I know you have your life
I know you’ve taken strides
Some days we feel deprived and long to be alive

Join me one last time, let’s dance throughout the night
Join me one last time, before your train arrives

Daniela's debut as singer and lyricist... :)
Arrangement and production: Baidrag
Guitar: Atka
Composition: Rogier

I am from...concrete grazed knees and playground  blues
From shortly cut bangs and caterpillar brows
I am from...dusty country roads, poche avenues
From beads and wires and horns and skins
And customs, boarding, fly, check-ins

I am from... a lot of things
I don’t know of yet
A lot of places yet to go
A lot of people I don't know
I am from...

I am from...the gap tooth I gleamed with utmost pride
From sheet music to carpools and smelly shin guards
I am from...cherry blossoms and bureaucracy
Spaghetti string hair, and airports, airplanes, everywhere

I am from...a lot of things
I don’t know of yet
A lot of places yet to go
A lot of people
I don't know
I am from...

Air thick with water and palm trees decked with coconuts
Beaches and dirty smiles from people with clean hearts
Loud jeepneys and stuffed safaris, and a boarding pass
With the name of a false home, a false home, turned real

I am from...cobblestones and narrow alleys
Late night drives and homemade lemonade
I am from...fried noodles, secret languages, and borrowed threads
And metal mouthed laughs with warm people on cold days

I am from
A lot of things
I don’t know of yet
A lot of places yet to go
A lot of people
I don't know
I am from...
A lot of things
I don’t know of yet
A lot of places yet to go
A lot of people
I don't know
I am from...

I Am From

The Moon Is Alone

Pink is the moon
Alone, in the sky tonight
The moon can tell her where’s her baby

So many lost
She reads, and begins to pray
Alone and thinking of her baby

Taking a breath is tough,
She’s tired and begins to cough
Alone, thinking ‘bout her baby

Joining the moon above
She sighs, as she fades away, 
The moon will take her to her baby

These are the stories of
A world that is all alone
We wonder, who’s looking at the moon?

When the world is back, 
Dear moon we’ll dance the night away
We’ll cry and sing about our babies

She texts, and begins to pray
She shivers, she’s not ok
She cries and thinks about her baby

She went to the moon today
All on her own, to stay
And now she’s dancing with her baby

Why is the moon so big?
She sighs as we wonder if
Her love is shining down on us

Tears rolling down her cheeks
Tracks of a life well-lived
Her love is trying to reach her baby

These are the stories of
A world that is all alone
We wonder, who’s looking at the moon?

When the world is back, 
Dear moon we’ll dance the night away
We’ll cry and sing about our babies
