Logically [Baldwin Encore Electric Organ] (Original Song)

My dear Watson, I owe you a thousand apologies. I had no idea you would be so affected. 

The first song I ever wrote. A Sherlock Holmes inspired song, because I'm a huge-ass classic lit nerd with a soft spot for gay Victorian detectives. This song focuses on Holmes' perspective of returning from the great hiatus (the period in which Holmes faked his death for three years). 

•••

Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you smile
or in fact since I’ve seen you at all.
Three long years have disappeared 
in the blink of an eye and a fall.
Hey, I know it hurt, but what do you think was worse:
watching me die, or making it so?
I know that you’re sad and probably just a little bit mad as is evident in the punches you’re throwing.

Three years of solitude.
Three years of how it used to be
before you and me were a “we.”
Three years of longing and waiting and fighting
but we’ve still got the rest to go.

So, how’ve you been? I’ve been okay.
I’ve been living for the promise of the coming of today
when I’d walk through our doors 
and I’d open my eyes and I’d look into yours
and I’d take your hand, and you’d take mine
and I’d wonder how I made it such a long time alone
and I’d tell you I owe you a thousand apologies
but please, it’s alright, I’m home.

Three years without you’s hell.
Three years without a hand to hold
though the nights got cold.
Three years of crying, three years of dying
but we’ve still got the rest to go.

The Rest

A simple little Dr. Who song I wrote yesterday... the recording's not too great, but I had fun!

People focus so much on the Doctor's human companions that we tend to forget that he has (or had) a very extensive timelord family. Most, if not all of them, are dead and lost. This is a song to the Doctor from his family.

My little Lord, you’ve run so far
so far from silver leaves and two bright golden stars
into the unknown and the black
although I know that you are never coming back
I’m sure you’ve changed, my dear, I’m sure you would astound
if only I could see you now.

My little Lord, you’ve up and gone
to other worlds and other times and other dawns
within those walls of wooden blue
I thought I’d spend my days forever there with you
but things will change, my dear, as time will allow
and you travel without me now.

My little Lord, it’s been so long
since clockwork language ticked and tocked our family song
perhaps I knew you, maybe not
in either case, there’s just one small thing you forgot:
that though things change, my dear, and you know best just how
I’m still somewhere and with you now.

Let’s raise a glass to our physician
to our grandfather, father, brother, husband, son, (cousin, great-grandfather)
to one who’s lost far too many (and too much)
one who burns brighter than the sun.

Our little Lord, you’ve come so far
one thousand years of time and space and here you are
so when you’ve lost another friend (oh, you’ve lost so many friends, too many friends)
just one of many who you thought could never end
I hope you know, my dear, I’m sure I would be proud
if only I could see you now.

Our Physician

Song commissioned by Crayvay, inspired by their original fairytale "The Lady with the Star in her Eye." It was a beautiful story and I loved turning it into a song.

If you're interested in commissioning a song from me, go here: http://therosielord.tumblr.com/commissions

Lady with black hair and strong shoulder bone
beloved by the place that you call home
square your shoulders strong, defend the weak
listen to your heart before you speak
pluck a white stone from the dirt-stamped mud
this is more than the stars, it was written in blood
so look down on the girl that you swept up in your arms…

Maiden with green eyes, not of this place
freckles like brown sugar ‘cross your face
cover starlight up with flesh of white
leave behind your kingdom of the night
drop a white stone in the dirt at her feet
wait for your star-crossed eyes to meet
and look up at the girl who will keep you safe from harm

and hold her tight, and sleep by her side night after night
for this strange love – one girl from below, the other, above –
is the reason why you no longer weep and you no longer cry
and your tears feel so long ago.

Maiden with a secret home in the sky
leave a note and fly, don’t wish, don’t cry
Lady with a broken heart in her chest
mourn the loss of one that you love best
Sleep away days and live in the night air
point your eyes at the sky ‘cause she’s up there somewhere
she’s a light in the dark, but a light you’ll never find.

Lady with a single star in her eye, 
climb a mountain top to reach the sky
Maiden with her eyes trained on the ground
wait a while and surely you’ll be found
your tongue is so silver, the words so sweet
when you see your strong Lady you met on the street
who you guided up with the bit you left behind

So she held her tight: the strong and the weak, the dark and the light
and this strange love lived on underneath the world up above
and the reason why we now talk of love and of stars in our eyes
is a story from the long-ago.
