Old Memories

Bonfire

Ten                         

You met me when I was very young
when my adult life had just begun
when I still had the ability to love without reserve
when the saddest thing I knew was a song by 
“The Verve“

You were the only one who broke my heart
the others just turned their knives in this scar
You have put a flag down pretty soon 
like I was your moon, infected, not immune

Bridge
What we have is what we had
something so beautiful, something so sad

Refrain
But I know you now
Better than I have known you then
Today we witness how
a decade turns into ten years
and we still hold onto 
something that already clicked years ago
I will never let go until till we turn into gold

II
That doesn't mean that I will wait 
Until my heart is sad enough to break 
We've made it through so many years 
Ten more are just ten more my dear

Some say it's kryptonite, some say an endless fight 
But what I want each night is you to hold me tight 
It's a wicked world under a seperate star 
This is love, but love is war

Ending
I have no clue where to put you
Would somebody advise me what to do
In my head there's a bed and there you rest
And my chest, that's the best, it holds your nest
My brain says that it is enough
my heart is sadly not that tough


Skip the heaviness, make it light, tap your foot.

You Raise Me Up

The June Gloom Project was originally just a blog. A personal one about what happened and what I made happen.
Seven years later it also became a platform for my music.

When I was a teen, I wrote many songs that helped me deal with the challenges puberty brings.
Some day this was done, and I just felt like a happy twen - and music came to rest.

Some day later other challenges came back, and I started writing songs again.
The ones you find here emerged from this second period of songwriting.

They were all created in silent nights, when I was alone with my thoughts and feelings, sitting by a candle and surrounded by melody.
Some listeners may find that the lyrics somehow relate to them - well, jackpot then. 
You very likely broke my heart!

Though the recordings are very bad - enjoy.
