those opening rhymes... the ones that end with the new girl and the loss of the fighting will.  them great.  what an opening bang.

now johnny can't see things as clearly as he should be able to because he's not bright. :)

couple of tracks on thus album are my faves, keep changing my mind, can't choose, but I love this soooo much 👏👏👏👏🎼🎵🎶

Nebula

Summer daisies springing
In my mind I see them swaying to my feelings
So one with my tune
A beat here, a heed there
Just for you
 
The rainbow pales
Against your magic spell
Everything fades
When you come calling to my dream space
 
‘Çause I can’t forget
That one day we met
May never see you again
Till this light of mine shines
But you showed me places
That these eyes had stopped seeing
Ooh yeah..
(Yeah, it was you)
So darling, no matter, there’s only one place for you to be mine
In my dreams
Yes, in my dreams
 
 
Winter comes but I feel warm
Funny how a day’s memory
Can feel so strong
 
A gust of wind
Can’t shake me from within
Nothing else matters
As long as I know that my dream’s still living
 
‘Çause I can’t forget
That one day we met
May never see you again
Till this light of mine shines
But you showed me places
That these eyes had stopped seeing
Ooh yeah..
(Yeah, it was you)
So darling, no matter, there’s only one place for you to be mine
In my dreams
Yes, in my dreams
 
Life was so unkind
Once upon a time
Then something changed
Oh I may never see that day again
But I’ll thank you
For making me bloom
 
And I can’t forget
That one day we met
May never see you again
Till this light of mine shines
But you showed me places
That these eyes had stopped seeing
Ooh yeah..
(Yeah, it was you)
So darling, no matter, there’s only one place for you to be mine
In my dreams
Yes, in my dreams

Majestic Meadow

A slightly country-rock-esque song about arguments and compromise

LYRICS:

Again we're starting over in another town
The friends we made, they drift away
like clouds on the wind
I'm tired of waiting
My body's aching and broken
The separating
This meditation is over
and now I'm open to suggestions

November brings a chill into our open minds
It's when we'll take our pills so we can try to find
some relief from it all
You're always hating
but it remains unspoken
And you can stare at the painting
but this conversation's over
unless you're open to suggestions

We can't ignore it
We're gonna have to explore it
And I'm gonna call it:
This one's a forfeit

We can't ignore it
We're gonna have to explore it
And I'm gonna call it:
This one's a forfeit

Nothing else for it..

Forfeit

PROGRAM NOTE
As a follow-up to our song cycle for soprano and chamber ensemble (or piano), Robert and I  agreed the concept of five characters looking for love online should have a male counterpart. Written for baritone and chamber ensemble, In Real Life II looks at five contemporary men clicking their way to second chances and romance. In “No Frog” we meet a prototypical player, a guy who fluffs his profile, but the truth keeps slipping out. The tone shifts with “Sola Fide,” in which a U.S. veteran of the war in Afghanistan explains the tattoo on his chest and the wounds inside. An older gentleman envisions one last fling in the irreverent “Die with Me.” In “Still Vamping,” a gay man muses on his start-and-stop romantic history. Finally, in “Nice-Plus,” an everyday guy reveals a hidden passion. In Real Life II was commissioned by American Modern Ensemble with funding from the Doctorow Family Foundation.
