I originally wrote "Bloom" as an instrumental about the different seasons of life. I cannot begin to express how much it means to me that Fa found beauty in the music and has added so much more through her wonderful words and voice!!! Thank you so much!!!

“Bloom”
One step at a time
First to learn to fall
One step at a time
Before you learn to walk

Look at me, on my new bicycle
Look at me, I am the king of the world
Kissed Knees from pebbles on the ground
I’m getting older if I don’t cry, and I smile
I’m growing up like a bloom into the light

Then to learn to dance in the sunlight
A few stolen kisses in the shade
I’m growing up with the love that I’ve met
I’m growing up in the laughter, in the pain
No matter if the tears are flooding the sand
Which feeds me

One step in time 
One step in time
One step in time
One step in time
I want to dance in the sunlight

Look at me now I’m old and faded
Look at me….in my eyes, the past so far away
I underwent so many thunderstorms
Now I’m older, no I don’t cry……..I’m reborn
I don’t want to wilt like a bloom into the dark




Bloom ~ Vox / Feat. FaDE

All fab guitar and bass tracks provided by @rosarius (guitar) and Bruce (bass). 

Verse 1:
Not deep and meaningful just real
A chance is lost to tell you how I feel
As I cover up the gaping hole you miss
My smile is just a curving of my lips

Pre-chorus:
The great pretence
My last defence
You see I'm hiding
And every day
Is a chance to say
Please come and find me

Chorus:
And I'll open up a crack
Let a little sadness out
Not enough to push you back
Just enough to show you what I'm all about
Look in my eyes
And you will see this time
You knew me only half as well as I knew you

Verse 2:
As I carry out my daily work by rote
The date passes yearly without note
A testament to being in control
You assume the loss it, took so little toll

Pre-chorus:
So bloody hard
Not to discard
What won't define me
And every day 
Is a chance to say
Please try and find me

Chorus:
And I'll open up a crack
Let a little sadness out
Not enough to push you back
Just enough to show you what I'm all about
Look in my eyes
And you will see this time
You knew me only half as well as I knew you

Open Up a Crack

Flowers In The Dark

As always, many thanks for stopping by!
Lyrics:
Tell me stories ‘bout all the little things
Tell me stories ‘bout the rain
How the wind blew you into my life
Tell me stories ‘bout yesterday
Tell me stories ‘bout yesterday

Tell me about the photograph you keep
in a locket on that golden chain
Tell me ‘bout the memories it brings
Tell me stories ‘bout yesterday 
Tell me stories ‘bout yesterday

It’s those little things 
that make us who we are
in those memories we keep
Tell me stories about your rainy nights
Tell me stories ‘bout yesterday 
Tell me stories ‘bout yesterday

all the little things w/ lyrics

Settle Down

and now we settle down,
and now we settle down,
the dust just falls away,
away...

You give me slight of hand,
when no-one understands,
that it's a bright new day...new day...

In the south sky where you stand,
everything that once was planned,
just don't forget you own this land
and it's a bright new day...

and we give life to the ground,
and there's treasure to be found,
just don't forget you own this land
and it's a bright new day around...

and you see the golden wheat,
with the earth there at your feet,
and listen the birds softly speak,
that it's a bright new day...

so settle...
so settle down
cos it's a bright new day...
day...

and now we settle down...

END

Settle Down

A Pretty Penny, written by Ren Faye. 

As soon as the dawn,
broke on the cobbled street
The market sellers all gather to greet
the town folk with their coins in the pockets
a plenty

There were buckets of fish,
and the meat dried and cured,
near the shore, where the boats had been moored
The crew all cast their eyes on a pretty penny

She was selling her wares,
at the market stall,
Selling her wares, like her father before
Hoping to make the day with a pretty penny

Saw a fortune teller, on the way to the town,
Crossing her palm with silver, her gown,
she said on this day, you'll find your true love...

It was one of the sailors, she met by the sea,
She said 'how could you love a poor girl like me?' he said, I heard your voice from far away...

Stop selling your wares, and sell them your voice - riches be ours, and then we'll have a choice
I'm so glad I've found my pretty penny...

My pretty penny...
and she loves me...

A Pretty Penny

Tous Ces Moments

Welcome to my little corner of the Sound Cloud world!
I began teaching myself to play the guitar about ten years ago and quickly found that music became a way for me to release all the feelings that I couldn't find the words to express.
Just me and a guitar recorded wherever life takes me.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my music, I hope you enjoy the songs!
