When I first watched Narnia (Prince Caspian), I cried when this song started playing, since then it's had a special place in my heart. Lucas Zumann and Susi Greta agreed to help me make a cover of it.

The Call

written 4/17/2020 by Sylvia (mom) and me
produced 11/2022 by mom & me

lyrics:
funny how the thoughts disappear
after a few beers
a glass of wine
we're having a good time
having a good time
having a good time

still waiting for you here
and after all these years
remind you what it's like
to be having a good time
having a good time

don't need no lipstick on
for you to sing this song

talking 'bout the real thing
baby are you listening
looking at the real thing
darling yeah
party at the real place
you can wear your real face
you don't have to see straight
it's okay
at the real place
having a good time
at the real place
having a good time

climbing up the ladder
been drinking for hours and hours
release that chatter in our heads
a round of drinks for all our friends/ (originally: we won't stop drinking till we're dead)
yeah yeah
woo-hoo
having a good time
woo-hoo
having a good time
woo-hoo
having a good time
woo-hoo ooh yeah

talking 'bout the real thing
baby are you listening
looking at the real thing
darling yeah
party at the real place
you can wear your real face
you don't have to see straight
it's okay
at the real place
having a good time
at the real place
having a good time

it's nice to not be alone
or staring at you through the phone
maybe i could hold your hand
cause i'm thinking that you'll understand

if we're in the real place
you and i can celebrate
we got no more time to waste
darling yeah

talking 'bout the real thing
baby are you listening
looking at the real thing
darling yeah
party at the real place
you can wear your real face
you don't have to see straight
it's okay
at the real place
having a good time
at the real place
having a good time
at the real place
having a good time

The Real Place

[Drum cover] The Corrs - Breathless

This is another song from my duo with Andrea Perry called Kaliyo. (Kah-LEE-yo). This song has been used in a Dell commercial in China, in a TV promo for the TV show Smash in Finland, in Dish Networks Playboy channel commercial in the USA, in a Top Model TV Promo in Poland and others... 

Take What You Can Get - Kaliyo

Behind the song: 
41 days and still no relenting. 41 days of mass civilian slaughter.
Most of my friends and family have chosen to remain silent. 
Maybe you have too. 
If you haven’t, if you’re awake and thinking ‘why the fuck isn’t the whole world screaming with me?’
You’ll understand the feelings I used to write this song. 
No more occupation. No more apartheid. 
Free Palestine. 

Song lyrics: 
Your silence speaks volumes 
I see you there 
I love you but I’m terrified 
Are you choosing not to care? 

So bury your head in the sand 
And as a city burns you say 
‘It’s too hard to understand’ 

You refuse to dig any deeper 
Are you afraid of what you’ll find 
It takes courage to pull back the curtain 
Observe the evil behind 

So bury your head in your hands 
Keep telling yourself it’s to complex 
That you’ll never understand 

You close your eyes 
Ignore their cries 
While the sky comes crashing down 
You sleep at night 
Claim it’s justified 
History repeats itself

Free Palestine and if this song ever makes my money, all the proceeds will go towards helping to rebuild Palestine more beautiful than ever before

Lyrics: 
Watching as the cotton candy clouds gonna pass me by 
Sitting on the pavement, feeling the heat of the sidewalk 
And I know there’s a storm waiting on the horizon, but I’m stuck 

October 31st, snow turns to ash while falling 
The clock’s running out, thought I had more time to shape who I’m becoming 

Then it hits-the moment 
Stand for something or fall for everything 
And I can’t wait for heroes 
Heroes 

Ask ourselves a question, now what are we willing to lose? 
Courage of convictions grow weaker in a silence
Say it out loud cuz you’ll never get the chance to take back what you never said 

As the sun grows dark, I watch everyone staring 
The storm has made it here and the tears in your eyes say
Pray for new beginnings 

Then it hits-the moment 
Stand for something or fall for everything 
And I can’t wait for heroes 
Anymore

Kodak & Codeine

A song about living in the present and enjoying the beauty of this life.


Lyrics: 

I’m sitting here in this bed
Just reminiscing 
Thoughts of the past in my head 
I wish I could visit 
But I can’t, and it’s sad 
Life’s a one way ticket 
And there’s no going back 
No matter how much I miss it 

I look up at a sky full of clouds
Memories running through me 
It’s easier to stick around 
In a mind-made paradise
And it’s sad ‘cause sometimes 
I slip on into these moments 
Leaving what I’m doing behind 
Romanticizing my past 

But maybe that’s just the way time works 
Don’t fixate on the destination baby 
You gotta know what your time’s worth 
‘Cause you’re living in this moment right now 
That’s just the way time works 
Don’t fixate on the destination baby 
You gotta know what your time’s worth 
‘Cause you’re living in this moment right now 

I’m sitting here in this bed
Daydreaming about the future 
Of things I’ll have done and said 
And all the places I’ll go 
And it’s sad I forget 
That life is in these seconds 
I should feel it or I’ll regret 
The moment that they’re gone 

I’ve got a problem you see 
I can’t seem to live in the moment 
Stuck in this melancholy 
Looking forward or looking back 
And it’s sad cause I know that these right here are the moments 
I’ll miss them once they go
‘Cause life’s moving by so fast 

But maybe that’s just the way time works 
Don’t fixate on the destination baby 
You gotta know what your time’s worth 
‘Cause you’re living in this moment right now 
That’s just the way time works 
Don’t fixate on the destination baby 
You gotta know what your time’s worth 
‘Cause you’re living in this moment right now

Just Reminiscing

Song about emotional distance.

Lyrics: 
You say that you miss me, but you can't talk on the phone, 
you tell me you're too busy, can't find time to come back home, 
and I'm starting to feel like an afterthought to you, 
please send me a sign that you love me too.

I need to you fight for me just a little bit, please baby, 
I need you to fight for me, cause I can´t be with someone who doesn't want me.

I had you buy you a ticket, for you to finally come and see me,
Am I really so desperate? Or is my hope so strong it's blinding me, cause 
I just can´t stand to be an afterthought to you, 
but if that is what you want, I hope I'm strong enough to make through. 

I need to you fight for me just a little bit, please baby, 
I need you to fight for me, cause I can´t be with someone who doesn't want me.

And is hard to be with someone who's never there, 
but the distance isn't the problem, it´s not what's making me scared, 
and maybe I might be crazy, and everything will be all alright, 
it´s all in my imagination, and nothing has changed in all this time.

I need to you fight for me just a little bit, please baby, 
I need you to fight for me, cause I can´t be with someone who doesn't love me.

Fight for me

A song about lost friendship, but lingering affection.

Lyrics: 
We keep talking in circles, can't find a way out
You're trapped and you don't even know 
Too scared to lose friends, but too proud to make more
You'll go through this life all alone 

And it hurts me, to see you cry on the side by yourself 
and it hurts me you won't let me in though I could help
Though I could help, ohhhh, ohhhh, though I could help, ohhhh, ohhh
Though I could help, ohhhh, ohhhh, though I could help, ohhhh, ohhh

You're locked in this cage and you've swallowed the key
My hands can't fit inside those bars
I try to release you, but you won't be freed 
You yell at me, scream 'It's too hard!' 

And it hurts me, to see you cry on the side by yourself 
and it hurts me you won't let me in though I could help
Though I could help, ohhhh, ohhhh, though I could help, ohhhh, ohhh
Though I could help, ohhhh, ohhhh, though I could help, ohhhh, ohhh

As I sit here and write this, I finally see
the truth about being your friend 
I won't try and help you because you won't let me breathe 
Until you're free, this friendship must end. 

And it hurts me, to see you cry on the side by yourself 
and it hurts me you won't let me in though I could help
Though I could help, ohhhh, ohhhh, though I could help, ohhhh, ohhh
Though I could help, ohhhh, ohhhh, though I could help, ohhhh, ohhh
Though I could help

Won't Let Me In

English: 
I keep coming back to this
Can’t seem to break away I guess 
It’s just a lesson I still need to learn. 
She’s now so twisted in my mind
That’s what they wanted, watch the fight
Raise up the hero, while the villain falls. 

Can’t take much more, I’m just treading water 
Looking forward to the day I learn to swim
Hope I can do it before these thoughts do me in. 

Send out the boats, I’m drowning 
I’m all alone and I’m afraid of being lonely 
Throw down the rope, I can’t breathe 
Don’t want to think about the fact that you can’t hold me 

I look at me, have I even grown? 
I hope so but deep down, I don’t know 
‘Cause it still hurts to hear what they think of me 
I tell myself I don’t care, but that’s just not true 
I’m terrified to take a step and make another wrong move 
Prove I’m nothing more than my weakest moment 

Can’t take much more, I’m just treading water 
Looking forward to the day I learn to swim
Hope I can do it before these thoughts do me in. 

Send out the boats, I’m drowning 
I’m all alone and I’m afraid of being lonely 
Throw down the rope, I can’t breathe 
Don’t want to think about the fact that you can’t hold me 

I’m almost gone when she opens my eyes
You can breathe I promise don’t listen to lies 
You’re so much stronger than they think you are 
Yeah, life can hurt but it’s beautiful too 
A small smile, a kiss, a sky full of blue 
These things are miracles and they’re all around 

I’m doing fine, yeah, I’m just treading water
I know someday I’ll learn to swim 
Until that day comes these thoughts, they will not win 

Send out the boats, I’m drowning 
I’m all alone and I’m afraid of being lonely 
Throw down the rope, I can’t breathe 
Don’t want to think about the fact that you can’t hold me 



Spanish: 
Sigo volviendo a esto. 
Parece que no lo puedo escapar
Supongo que es una lección que todavía tengo que aprender.
Ahora está tan enredada en mi mente. 
Eso es lo que querían, ver la pelea. 
Levanta al héroe, mientras el villano cae 

No puedo soportar mucho más
Me estoy manteniendo a flote
Ojalá que llegue el día en que aprenda a nadar. 
Espero poder hacerlo antes de que estos pensamientos me acaben.

Envía los botes, me estoy ahogando. 
Estoy sola y tengo miedo de estarlo
Tira la cuerda
No puedo respirar
No quiero pensar en el hecho de que no puedes abrazarme

Me miro, ¿he crecido siquiera?
Eso espero, pero en el fondo no lo sé. 
Porque todavía me duele oír lo que piensan de mí. 
Me digo a mí mismo que no me importa, pero eso no es verdad
Me aterroriza dar un paso y hacer otro movimiento equivocado
Demuestra que no soy nada más que mi momento más débil 

No puedo soportar mucho más
Me estoy manteniendo a flote
Ojalá que llegue el día en que aprenda a nadar. 
Espero poder hacerlo antes de que estos pensamientos me acaben.

Envía los botes, me estoy ahogando. 
Estoy sola y tengo miedo de estarlo
Tira la cuerda
No puedo respirar
No quiero pensar en el hecho de que no puedes abrazarme

Casi me voy cuando ella abre mis ojos.
Puedes respirar, te prometo que no escuches mentiras. 
Eres mucho más fuerte de lo que ellos creen que eres 
Sí, la vida puede doler, pero también es hermosa. 
Una pequeña sonrisa, un beso, un cielo lleno de azul 
Estas cosas son milagros y están por todas partes 

Estoy bien, solo me estoy manteniendo a flote
Sé que algún día aprenderé a nadar 
Hasta que llegue ese día estos pensamientos, no ganarán

Send Out The Boats

La letra: 

Mi mejor amiga
No puedo decir que la quiera  
Ella tiene novio 
Y yo siempre tan soltera
Yo se que nunca voy a ser 
Su amor ideal 
Pero no me importa 
Esa noche fue excepcional

Estábamos hablando cuando me dijo ella 
Te quiero vamos a bailar 
Tomé su mano estaba un poco fría 
Fue una noche pa’ recordar 

Baila baila conmigo corazón 
La vida es una sola 
Baila baila conmigo corazón 
Tenemos que vivirla 

No tengo el coraje para decir la verdad 
te escribo una canción 
Que nunca vas a escuchar y
Yo no sé qué nunca voy a ser tu amor ideal 
Pero no me importa 
Me senti tan natural cuando 

Estábamos hablando y tu me dijiste 
Te quiero vamos a bailar 
Tomé tu mano estaba un poco fría 
Fue una noche pa’ recordar 

Baila baila conmigo corazón 
La vida es una sola 
Baila baila conmigo corazón 
Tenemos que vivirla 

Quiero más que esta amistad pero es mejor que nada 
No quiero perder lo que tengo ahora 
Por eso no canto en tu idioma 


Estábamos hablando cuando me dijo ella 
Te quiero vamos a bailar 
Tomé su mano estaba un poco frío 
Fue una noche pa’ recordar 

Baila baila conmigo corazón 
La vida es una sola 
Baila baila conmigo corazón 
Tenemos que vivirla
