I Looked Beyond

Chorus
When nothing feels right, but it can’t be wrong,
This used to be home, now I don’t belong.
Like they changed the words to my favourite song, 
This used to be home, now I don’t belong.

Verse 1
All these plans I overlooked, 
like a day that’ll never be, 
No reply, lost in the wind.
The road is long but I’m not free, 
I know exactly where it leads,
Still searching for that hidden turn. 
Ever felt so yesterday, 
the present moved in all the way,
The past moved on, it never worked. 

Verse 2
Feel it running through my hands, 
the crumbling sands of yesterday, 
it slips away and I can't save it. 
I'm like a stranger in my head,
My words feel wrong, (I) don't understand, 
Misquoting me whatever I say.
I won't ever let it go, 
Got to keep on keeping on, 
This was me, but me no more.

Don't Give In

A New World Is Coming

Always a sunny day, 
I just can't concentrate, 
Is this the day we both changed?
  So much to throw away, 
  A change is on its way,
  Always a sunny day.
      Another rare display, 
      You tell me that's OK, 
      Is this the way it will stay?
The same as yesterday,
Always a sunny day.

Could be any day, 
Same thing again,
How could we know?
Changing today.

You're asking me when to breathe,
I'm asking you what to do.
Changing today.

You've stumbled on a stone, 
Don't tell me you're alone, 
There's something in my eyes but I cannot disguise it.
Moving at a snail pace, 
Always in the same place
Have to take a chance with the same old circumstances.

Look back and say,
A little each day,
Something will grow,
And slowly decay.

You're asking me for space to breathe,
I'm asking you to give me room,
Slowly decay.

Not just a place that we own when we're all grown and unknown,
Watching the water get tasteless and overgrown.
Used to fly like a moth to the fire for hire,
But time and time again makes you lose the desire.

Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day…


Always A Sunny Day

I'm not too sure how to say this, but I need to. I am not well. I don't know how long I will be able to continue playing the piano. It is getting hard. I have a degenerative neuromuscular disease. It is probably ALS - Lou Gehrigs disease, but they are still doing tests. I can't walk any more ( I can't move my feet) or sit up without a brace and it is getting harder to breath and speak. I often need oxygen. I'm losing my left arm arm - it won't always go to the right piano keys. But I keep pushing. Creating music keeps the brain active and makes me feel like I still have a purpose. Playing the piano has kept my hands and fingers strong, but there are days I can't make it to the piano because I am very weak. I will keep going as long as I can.

All of the music I have written in the last 50 years I have recordings of, along with hand drawn lead sheets and piano scores that I have keyed into musescore for all of the future musicians in my generations to come who might want to play my music. Music is my diary, especially all the songs with lyrics that were written before my time here on SoundCloud. I have been here for 10 years and have made friends with many other musicians. I want to thank everyone who has supported me. It has been a wonderful time for growth when I could no longer play gigs but wanted to keep writing. It is great for senior musicians and for those where music is a creative hobby, not a profession. There is room for everyone. 

I realized after I posted this that I had just used the piano track.  I put different instruments to it and did a new mix. I can't believe I did that.

Just a starting point for my new song. Please feel free to comment as your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Sunlight Ahead

once upon a time there was a princess
once upon a time a damsel in distress
she left them all behind 
broken sad and blind 
in castles made of sticks and stones
thrones of bones
a little pig no more
the wolf blew down my door 
as he lay dying on the flroor 
i see ..i see the wolf is me 

am i a princess oh so rich 
am i a goddess or a witch 
am i your heroine or just an evil bitch 
am i Maab or mad Titania 
welcome to my mania

Once upon a time there was a handsome prince
Such a fucking shame haven’t seen one since

i shed my cloak of red 
i cant find my bed 
lost in these woods a babe alone
each step a blade in my soul 
awoken by a kiss 
from poisoned apple lips 
discarded ashes now i roam 
i roam free 

the wolf is me 
am i a princess oh so rich 
am i a goddess or a witch 
am i your heroine or just an evil bitch 
am i Maab or mad Titania 
welcome to my mania

these twisted tales that shaped me 
the stories that made me

legends (the wolf is me )
