The Changing Mood

A gentle love song that expresses the uncertainty of the unexpected seeds of intimacy and desire, and an overall message to not waste time, and to make each day count, whether it be in love, or in life.

Another Day

Another reed bending still, another tie of the will
Another stolen day we borrow
Another chance to lift the sorrow

Another day to begin, another share in the sin
Another moment to be hollow
You’ll never lead, I’ll never follow

Chorus:
I keep buying the illusion, when we say that it means more
But it causes such confusion, when we say nothing at all
Don't waste time.... Don't waste time!...

Do you reach for my touch? Has the night been too much?
Has polite masked the truth, past the welcome of my use?

Chorus:
You may not feel the same, I don’t hold you to blame
But there's an ache for you still, like that reed to the will

Will you ever fight for me…
Or leave me stranded in your sea?
A perfect love from perfect seed
Born from a place the angels keep...

Don’t waste time,
Another day passes by

Another Day

This song was written by Linda Pieters & myself. I wrote the music and Linda wrote the lyrics. It's a beautiful song that she wrote for her daughter, it took me a week to write the music for it, she has posted a rendition of it on her SoundCloud channel under Melinda Hannsen, check it out, she's a great Country singer!  I remixed it and enhanced the music a bit with my instrumental track. The video took me about a couple of weeks to produce and edit together and I think it enhances the song really well. Check out the video on YouTube :

This is for daughters everywhere and I hope everyone enjoys it! Cheers!

 “WILDFLOWER”

In a small town, where the rivers gently flow,
Lived a young girl with dreams, oh, she wanted to go,
With a heart full of courage, she said her goodbyes,
Left her family behind, under the big open skies,

She’s a wildflower in fields unknown,
Leavin’ home but her roots are still sown,
In her heart she carries the love that’s true,
A young girl on a journey, findin’ life anew,

With a backpack and a guitar by her side,
She hit the open road, let her spirit be her guide,
Through the fields and the valleys, she’d sing her song,
Her lover's love kept her strong all along,     
            
She’s a wildflower in fields unknown,
Leavin’ home, but her roots are still sown,
In her heart she carries the love that’s true,
A young girl on a journey, findin’ life anew,

She faced storm and sunshine, 
Both joy and despair,
But the road taught her lessons, 
Made her heart more aware,
             
Years have gone by and she’s seen the world’s grand show,
But deep in her heart, there’s a place she’ll always know,
Where her family wait with open hearts and smiles,
Her love guiding life’s endless miles,     

She’s a wildflower in fields unknown,
Leavin’ home, but her roots are still sown,
In her heart, she carries the love that’s true,
A young girl on a journey, findin’ life anew,

Remember the love of a girl who dared to roam,
But the family’s love was the compass guiding her home,
In the tapestry of life, where the stories unfurl,
My wildflower, forever connected to her world.

Lyrics:

When you feel defeated
and you feel like giving up
When you're lost and tired
and you forget who you are

Rest, Darling rest
Don't forget, you were there
to raise your head in a scene of red
in such despair, you were there
The first Baby's breath

When your will is to begin
Where the daylight marks the sky
When you've traveled weary
and the road weighs down your heart

Rest, Darling rest
Don't forget, you were there
to raise your head in a scene of red
in such despair, you were there
The first Baby's breath

Don't forget you've got a lot to give...

Born

lyrics:

don't say you love me - or that you want me now...
don't say you want me - or that you love me now...

never been this high
i'm scared of heights
i'm scared of falling down.
never in this life
have i swam in sunlight
i'm scared i'm gonna drown.

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...

just say you love me - and that you want me now...
just say you want me - and that you love me now...

close the door
and hold me tight...
don't ever let me go
when i saved your life
you saved me from myself...
don't let that go...

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
