i will never forget
the moment that you left
you told me that you would be back soon
then you rode away

i knew that it didn't feel right
as i saw you run into the night
i told you i loved you 
and i never saw you again

in my dreams i see you 
brother, when?
will i wake up weeping
all over again?
do you know the hole that
you left behind?
i wish you’d stop coming back
in my mind

is the version that lives in my head
the only one that’s not dead?
there are no real answers, all this time
i’ve talked to a ghost

i still can’t let you go 
all this time, are you still alone?
i just want my brother
you’re someone i cannot replace

in my dreams i see you 
brother, when?
will i wake up weeping
all over again?
do you know the hole that
you left behind?
i wish you’d stop coming back
in my mind

and i cry
when i wake up
 in the morning
after ten years i find
i’m still mourning 
you

brother, when?

Mellow song from my EP that came out in Japan

Stoloff - Tristezza

A love story between a guy and a girl he sees within the snow on his TV. Here's a lovely little animation that accompanies this track, done by the uber-talented Noriko Oura! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCgFBA2v83o

Stoloff - Sometimes In The Snow

every autumn i feel the ache
wonder if i always will
seasons changing, if my bones don’t break
then my spirits cannot fail
hanging on to winter’s healing song
rest in peace under the chill
mother’s coming as the thunder shakes
every fortress that we’ve built

how long will i remember the fall
with the ending of an age
if it’s right why don’t i feel at all
have i entered a new stage
letting go is a lost art until
you need it to survive
growing quickly is a swallowed pill
but to live, you’ve gotta die

i feel it too
the winter’s growing on you
ripping in two
my heart is being renewed

make me new
i am ready to
make me new
i am ready

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't feel like polishing this mostly because I don't have time so it is what it is for now

autumn song

All I Need

All rights reserved January, 3 2025

Inside, the heart still aches
There’s no way around, all the sights and sounds that greet the day
What will it take
Just To climb that hill, such a bitter pill..that lingers there

Outside, the air is light, as the sun appears, and you feel the fears
Begin to grow…another fight
Then you hold the tears and the yesteryears
Inside your mind…

Now I’ll be on my way watching days go by
Searching to find a way and wondering why

Til then I’ll try again, as I watch the change through the windowpanes
And soldier on into a world
Such a pointless cause stuck in these four walls
As darkness falls

Now I’ll be on my way as days go by
Wasting away and a wondering why…

Darkness Falls

nostalgia is the virus of the mind
it breaks my heart to pieces 
seven times by seven times
it weighs me down like gravity
it’s sick sentimentality
will i ever leave?
stuck in memories

remembering’s a blessing a curse
commitment to the future 
seems to be the only cure
to grow, forgive, and to believe
there’s wisdom in your sovereignty
Lord I know you’re real
and you’re kind to heal

i think back to the moments in my life
when i had felt abandoned, hidden, lost the will to fight
Lord you’ve made it known to me: you were there, you never leave
my stability
you are here with me

there’s moments that i just don’t understand
i know all of my days, ordained, are safely in your hands
i choose to trust and to believe because of your consistency
even when I do
you don’t fail me too

i’m finite and i’m struggling to see
your perspective and your thoughts
they are so dear to me
i reach into the grains of sand
Lord make it known, open your hand
Lord my heart is slow
but still i need to know

you knew me Lord before I came to be
my God of all eternity you see what is unseen
you shaped my heart so wonderfully
i know you made me fearfully
you created me
and did so perfectly

here with me

Lyrics:
Ever since I met you
I feel like I’ve understood
Everything that’s happened this far’s
Happened as it should

I’m not gonna rush you 
Tell you I love you today
I know that it’s better 
With all the stops along the way

Cause you know I have sometimes played the fool
When I thought I could break all the rules

When you say you love me
I will take you at your work
But if that word is broken
From me you will not be heard

Cause you know I have sometimes played the fool
When I thought I could break all the rules

Ever since I met you
I feel like I’ve understood
Everything that’s happened this far’s
Happened as it should

I’m not gonna rush you 
Tell you I love you today
I know that it’s better 
With all the stops along the way

Cause you know I have sometimes played the fool
When I thought I could break all the rules
