Hey Susan, what a beautiful song! I am sure it will soon find a good home. :)

Words and Music by Ari Herstand 2015

Recorded by Patrick Doyle at Art Core Studios in Los Angeles, CA

Lyrics: 
Before the sun has wrestled through our blinds 
my body wakes me up 
A quiet dream finale breathes from your lips 
I catch it with a kiss 

You turn to me and you ask what time is it 
I grab my phone and let you know it's too early 

I love these ordinary times 
Breaths before the moments 
And in these ordinary times 
I'm at ease with you 

The corner froyo shop late at night 
Walk over in our sweats 
We get our bowls to go with plastic spoons 
and return back home 

We climb in bed and cue up our favorite show 
You fall asleep on my chest before it's over 

I love these ordinary times 
Breaths before the moments 
And in these ordinary times 
I'm at ease with you 

My warm body pressed to yours 
Long drives back home 
Old clothes you'll never throw away 
I'm at ease 

A late morning brunch at our spot 
A table in the sun 
Every dog that comes to say hello 
You greet them with a kiss 

You look at me with those eyes that says you want one 
We both know it'll probably be a few more years 

I love these ordinary times 
Breaths before the moments 
And in these ordinary times 
I'm at ease with you

Ordinary Times

Movie in my Mind     copyright 2016 Susan Hillman

Let me free from this disguise
I can see you in my faded mirror
Let me free from all this jive
I can feel your warm embrace
But tears flow down my face

Why did you move away from me
When you knew I felt this way
Now my happy heart is gone
This I wanted to say

There's a movie running in my mind tonight
Let's woo us back in love, alright
There's a movie in my mind it's running 'round
Say we're not just a movie in my mind

There's a stop and there's a start
to the movie I'm watching in my mind
Are you hiding all the love in your heart
and the happiness we want to find

There's a movie running in my mind tonight
We said we felt so good alright
Now the movie's in my mind it's all around
Say we're not just a movie in my mind

You said you felt so good that night
I said I felt it too
Let's set us free set us free to find our love again
Now we're on our path again to find our love
The love we had that night

I can feel your warm embrace
the tears are gone from my face!
Say we're not just a movie in my mind

I wanna see us through your eyes
Let's watch the movie in real time
Let's live it now and not just fantasize
Come back to me, set me free tonight 

Set us free from this disguise
I can see us through my window clear
Now we're free, now we're alive
Our love is here, our love is here

Use all the charm we set aside
Love doesn't need our pride
This is the moment we both live for
We found our love
Feel it now
Hold me tight
Stay with me now

ELECTRONIC Opener

HIP-HOP INSTRUMENTALS with some WORLD Music influence are needed by a highly successful, EXCLUSIVE Music Library for a variety of Film, TV, and Commercial placements. They’re looking for Mid-To-Up-Tempo Instrumentals (not Cues) in the stylistic range of the following references we got directly from the company: “Thievery Corporation” by Lebanese Blonde: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq0ESlJhvBM “El Mechanico” by Deela: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiFkisrbyxo “Faces Of Peru” by Monetrik: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7aEYJDaXoU “Facing East” by Thievery Corporation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSoBORS3KZE Although some of the references have vocals, this request is for Instrumentals only! Please send them well crafted Hip-Hop Instrumentals that are rhythmically and melodically engaging, with some world influences, whether by melody, rhythm, instrumentation, overall vibe, or all of the above. Latin Hip Hop, Island Hip Hop, Middle Eastern Hip Hop, etc., are all possibilities for this request. Your production quality should be polished and able to capture the true spirit of the Country /Region/ Continent you choose. TAXI TIP: If you’re thinking of using Virtual Instruments or samples, we’d suggest adding some real, organic sounds (drums, percussion, etc.) for requests like this. That can often be the thing that makes your music stand out from the rest! Your submissions should be about 2 minutes long, or longer. Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will probably be best. Do NOT copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, texture, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

Stream of Life Susan Hillman. 2018

The kids are learning A B C's
Show what you've done in school today
She takes her chalk up to the board
and draws her friends playin'
Hopscotch
People say we got a lot of learning' to do
Don't you let life pass you by
Time is always ahead of us
Jump in the waters of life

Time is always moving through the stream
Oh won't you help us paddle faster 
to the stream of life

I found a babbling brook nearby
to catch the nature show
and there were ducks and birds everywhere
bobbin' up and down
tails in the air, tails in the sky
'long came a school of fish
they're trying' to head upstream
Swirling eddies are slowing' 'em down
They're keeping 'em back behind cuz

Life is always moving through the stream
Help us navigate the waters 
in the stream of life

I'm learning ways of this big world
and feeling free and wise
but there's a part of me that's more forlorn
with all that's compromised
But I found my love, I found my muse
I'm gonna head upstream they say
Time is always ahead of us
I think I know what it means

Time is always moving through the stream
Oh won't you guide us through the waters 
in the stream of life
