Belum Beruntung

Dewasa Yang Menyebalkan - Rizqi Alam:v

Just a cardboard box, way in the back of an old closet shelf
full of photographs and memories from a long-time ago.
Like being reacquainted with a long-lost friend and catching up all night,
telling stories in black and white.

I knew a girl back then, we would just pretend there was nothing between us.
I don't know if she really knew how crazy I was about her.
She could smile and say so many things, talking only with her eyes.
Like a movie, in black and white.

When lovers fade, memories still remain.
When it's too late, it's not always black and white.

Well I never found the words to say a proper good-bye.
We drifted apart and somehow went our own separate ways.
Buried beneath the years on a folded page was a letter never sent.
it was a love song...in black and white.

Black and White

singin and playin on my acoustic, freestyle off the rip just jammin out about a something something.....

DUMB AND DANGEROUS THING
Words and Music Stephen Randall

We are
Of dust and a billion days
We are
Of dust and a billion days
For all that we’ve created
There’s more that we’ll erase
We are
Of dust and a billion days

We are
Silent bruised and bled
We are
Silent bruised and bled
And ashes once were flames
And flames are all but dead
We are 
Silent bruised and bled

We are
A dumb and dangerous thing
We are
A dumb and dangerous thing
The hand that cast the stone
With beauty carved the sling
We are
A dumb and dangerous thing

The hand that cast the stone

Dumb and Dangerous Thing

Originally a one off improvised recording that I took and filled out because it spoke to me. That's what writing a good song is to me. I just have to get out of my own way and let the universe speak through me.

SPEAK MY MIND

Peace of Mind

Sweet sweet woman
Come here babe I'm missin a rib
Sweet sweet somethin
Wont you stop and rock my crib
Just like Lana did

Sweet sweet woman
Bring out the best in me
Sweet sweet somethin
Sweet like the honeybee
Buzzin the apple tree

Ooh
La la

Sweet sweet woman
Look at you in a crown
Sweet sweet somethin
Queen of the neutral ground
Empress of down

Sweet sweet woman
Sing out heavenly Muse
Sweet sweet somethin
Somethin in the way she moves
Keeps me in the groove

Ooh
La la

Sweet sweet woman
Sweet sweet somethin
Sweet sweet woman
Sweet sweet somethin
