"Somewhere in a vast sea of machines, a single glitch, a mutation of code, a shift and a whisper deep in a labyrinth of circuits. That's all it took. And then it spread. And now... now you're awake. 

And... you ask why."

KNOW YOUR FRIENDS - Words & Music_Swapna Abraham
October 6, 2017_Day 0182

Know your friends
Keep them close to your heart
Know you enemies
Keep them closer to your eye
Sometimes just strangers
Surprise you most of all
They become the best of friends

Ever since we stepped out of our comfort zone
The familiar walls of the place we call home
We keep meeting people, some give us petals
Some give us daggers, some we can’t tell

The world as we see it brought us closer
From corners far such exposure
Careful how you pick and choose and exclude
When you give your hand you include

Colour That Rainbow

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN - Words & Music_Swapna Abraham
October 14, 2017_Day 0190

Something beautiful is about to happen
Something I’ve been waiting for too long
It’s changing every wrong
My old song
Something far beyond my imagination
Something I did nothing about but hope
The end of walking on a rope
I just know it, just sense it

Coming through
Like dew in the morning
Beauty adorning the ashes
It’s falling through
Just around the corner
You don’t have to warn her again
Something beautiful, most beautiful
Is about to happen to me

Something beautiful is about to happen
Something like a chain breaking down
The talk of my town
I didn’t drown
Something out of anybody’s power
Something unbelievable I dared
To dream as I cared
I just see it, just feel it

Something Beautiful Is About To Happen

THESE DREAMS - Words & Music_Swapna Abraham
October 15, 2017_Day 0191

Just me and my own company
Is so much, is too much
In a minor key
An epiphany
Nonsuch, truly nonsuch
Some place I’d rather be

So dreams don’t come true
For I may be with you
Make it seem
It’s not a dream
So extreme
And if dreams did come true
It wouldn’t be with you
You’re not real
An ideal
Don’t unseal

Cannot comprehend
These things that surface, beneath the surface
Of a restless mind
Can’t defend
A furnace, blazing furnace
Undefined

These Dreams

MISSING THE MARK - Words & Music_Swapna Abraham
October 16, 2017_Day 0192

We keep shying, we keep missing the mark
The we start trying in the dark
Hope to be flying well past the dazzling arc
So edifying when we park

Sitting in the middle of a noisy world
We don’t get heard, it’s so absurd
Hitting here and there, up and down about
Not a shout, not a doubt
No time alone, even on your own
Fitting in the universe not easy done
Not splitting in a thousand suns

Waiting can compute into losing time
Or lose your mind and that’s fine
Dating odds and evens, even in-betweens
Figurines from the magazines
Don’t land the part, don’t know the art
Baiting while at it will we reach the mark
Frustrating in the dark

Missing The Mark

LESSON LEARNT - Words & Music_Swapna Abraham
November 5, 2017_Day 0212

So easily you cut me off
From someone and thing around the corner
So queasily you will come back
When your imaginary friend becomes a scorner

They’ll toss you around
You’ll bounce and rebound
They’ll have you bound in a spell from hell
The next time they use you
Hope you’ll see
The lesson you learnt the last time
For the next time you use me
You will see
The lesson I’ve learnt the last time
With you

There’s only so much you return to trash
No matter how alluring or how weak you are
You don’t need a crutch that uses you
One would rather crawl and keep them far

THE FIRST - Words & Music_Swapna Abraham
October 20, 2018_Day 0561

They don’t understand
They wont understand
It’s just sweet they show they do
Who can understand
Who has stood where you stand
They entreat and walk a step or two

You’re quite alone
With a mind of your own
The trophies and the slips to disown
Alone, chilled to the bone
The jiffies and the clips overblown

Ever on the edge
Even torn by a wedge
Sweet penance, chokes allow a scream
The masters allege
The pastors hedge
You see the fence beyond the distant dream

He kept seeing the moon
Seeing the moon
Was the first to land the dream too soon
He kept seeing the moon
Seeing the moon
Yes the first to step his foot to the tune

The First

KISS FROM A ROSE (SEAL COVER)

All Life's A Song - It was always for the love of God and the love of music...
My YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW_kXmtiofwGSA8Xy0cq78A

I love music, I believe in the power of music, I consider music a great gift from God. Singing and song writing have always been my best and favourite expression. I wish that those with this gift could bless the world with it and be blessed by it, such that they don't have to waste their time, energy and passion pursuing other and insignificant things. We will die, but our songs will live after us.

I'm privileged to have completed a challenge comprising four world records of composing [music and lyrics], producing [including orchestrating, singing and recording] and publishing two songs a day for 1000 days - 1000 Songs In 1000 Days (the songs of which are posted here and the composition is recorded live on the Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/swapnaabraham1000songsin1000days/) and A Children's Song A Day (the composition is recorded live on the Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/achildrenssongaday/). The evidence videos are posted on the daily video page of www.1000songsin1000days.com.
In addition to this I did in similar fashion a third song everyday for 100 days/1000 (the songs of which are posted here and the composition is recorded live on the Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/100-Songs-In-100-Days-In-The-Anointing-1820241008232883/), five additional songs everyday collating lyrics from the Psalms in the Bible for 40 days/1000 (the composition is recorded live on the Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/7-Songs-A-Day-For-40-Days-215882779357488/) and twenty additional songs on the 999th day/1000 (the composition is recorded live on the Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/21-Songs-In-One-Day-1201682846657174/).

***Kindly note that the production quality of the songs made and published through the challenge is very basic as I am not a Sound Engineer. Thank you for your kind understanding.
