A quick improvisation during lunch with the iPad synths

the sky's just layers

Here's a song I wrote just last week and recorded on my iPad (I know the end is kinda off, did the vocals in one shot.  I'll post a new version when I can!):

Some things are better left unsaid
some things better not remembered
wish I could forget you
wish I could forget

Nocturnal imprints flash
kneeling with him in the grass
dreading the morning star
as I drove home in my car

And I've been dreaming a lie
willing a ghost to life
could my unchained melody revive
a love never alive?

Although the modern age
no means to communicate
no thoughts I can imbue
technology, my noose

Not religious, but I pray
for eternal sunshine everyday
to make memories go away
to live, to die another day

And I've been dreaming a lie
willing a ghost to life
could my unchained melody revive
a love never alive?

Some things are better left unsaid
some people better not remembered
wish I could forget you
wish I could forget

Christmas in Pataskala

Long last I find
your memory left me behind
no more wishing you were mine
that song's been sung
your heart's been won
and that's fine.

Here starts a new night
Where in my dreams you never come to light
inspiration, divine
quells all my worries, ensnares all my thoughts
and I thrive

The new year has arrived
the new me has arrived
it's gonna be sublime

Here starts a new life
where all of my dreams long last realized
no more wishing, no more crying
for each setting sun
imminent dawn
another will rise

Long Last

Happy 39th Birthday (again), Mom!

I've learned...

to take a look at life
through children's eyes
believe in dreams
work towards desires,
fan your inner fire

Though the snow may fall,
don't ice your heart
The winter's cold
but spring is nigh,
focus on your art

and you'll find love,
money, $$, money,
peace of mind

You possess a power
through your words
to bring beauty to our lives
just keep on tryin'.

To 19

I know it's rough, guys!  I'll re-record it for real.  Here are the lyrics:

Went outside for a walk
something foreign threw me off
saw the sky
empty, blue
strange and solemn without you

Giving hands live no more
guilty of living, nothing more
Now, this bird without a home
scours the horizon forevermore

And you met your untimely end
City's shown
nature's no friend

Wonder if they'll also try and cut me down to my demise?
One last leaf upon the ground
to blow away without a sound

Nature's no friend
