wow, this got a nice chill vibe to it, really enjoyed it

you cant imagine how much i love this track man

This is a song about life.  It can be difficult and drab but now and then something special happens.  It's not predictable but it does happen.

The singer in this version is me, but I'm hoping one day that a real singer discovers this song and makes it their own.

Once in a While

Verse 1:
Most of my days
Lot like the day before
I’ve taught my self
Not to expect anything more
Can’t complain
All of my days are full 
But they’re not particularly
Memorable

Chorus:
But then once in a while
Comes a day  
Quite unexpectedly - In my life
A surprise, once in a while
Before my eyes
Magic finds its way back to me 

Verse 2:
There’ve been days
Living in shades of grey
Hard to know
What it was painted them that way
I’d Like to think
That every single day 
I deserve to live in joy 
But life keeps getting in my way

Chorus:
But then once in a while
Comes a day  
Quite unexpectedly - In my life
A surprise, once in a while
Before my eyes
Magic finds its way back to me 

Bridge 1:
I know it can only be once in a while
Can’t expect anything more
But the magic of that once in a while
Make it all worth waiting for

Verse 3:
I’ve heard it said
That there might be ways
To learn to live in those moments
For more of my days
But I never tried
I say it’s not my style  
But it could be I’m addicted to the magic
of once in a while

Chorus:
Once in a while
Comes a day  
Quite unexpectedly - In my life
A surprise, once in a while
Before my eyes
Magic finds its way 
Magic finds its way 
Magic finds its way back to me

Once in a While

Once In A While

U said that it’s over 
Whatever whatever 
I’m fighting for something 
To last me forever 
Go cry me a river
Cause I want forever 
U tell me it’s over
Girl never oh never 
Ur mind going crazy
Please give me new topics
Lost for my words 
In temptation that follows 
Got lost in my lust
Crazy for trust 
I broke it and made u a hollow 
Shell never recover
Got drugs on her tables, no she never stable 
Her mind is just over, don’t care what’s the dose
Pour her another, she hates all her feelings
Thinking of me, man it feels like she fallen
Can’t love anybody, who might be a traitor 
Can’t say how she feeling, cause people will blame her, can’t roll her up pain
Man it’s never enough, I said I want it forever 
It’s now or just never
Girl say that it’s over 
Don’t matter the weather 
Forever forever
Girl one day it’s over 
It’s now or just never 
Forever forever 
Please spin it, like records on tables
Please spit it, ur feelings ain’t nothing the same 
Before we had fame, we dreamed of our fantasy 
Wishing for better days, planning our kids little names
Hoping we make it, girl well break the record
From trails of parks, to trails to tears 
From trails of sparks, to trails of fear
Wishing u come back to me
Hennessy drowns out my problems 
Crown got me smilin, so I don’t think of u
Must’ve been sick, cause u we’re not feelin me
Life is a movie, girl u are my main
Read me ur lines, so I know that it’s mine
Speak from ur chest, make it seem real
That I can no longer, tell what is just real

Forever (prod. Spark)

Manic 🤯

Your eyes are loaded guns
They're calm and aimed for their mark
Your hands are tender ones 
Stretched out to find me in the dark

Go slow, move faster
This thing's got us by our throats
There's no goodbyes
Good enough to save us from ourselves
Honey, why does it feel like I've seen you before 

Did I dream you before I met you?             
I swear I've seen you before
It's your smile or maybe your eyes
That I can see at your door
Crying no, don't go
In that sweet Kentucky rain

Your lips are salty sweet
I can taste them if I close my eyes
Then I see you in the passenger seat
My hand is between your thighs

Let's dance some more
While we still have the dance floor
This thing's bittersweet
Like your taste that lingers in my throat
Honey, why does it feel like I've been here before 

Did I dream you before I met you?             
I swear I've seen you before
It's your smile or maybe your eyes
That I can see at your door
Crying no, don't go
In that sweet Kentucky rain

Can I stay a little while longer with you here in your arms?
I know I said I had to go home but the night can still be young
Let's dance a little while longer tonight until the morning comes
Maybe in our next lives we'll able to see the rise of each sun

Did I dream you before I met you?             
I swear I've seen you before
It's your smile or maybe your eyes
That I can see at your door
Crying no, don't go
In that sweet Kentucky rain

Here we are, in our next lives
Here we are, in our next lives

Sweet Kentucky Rain

The game jam on Itch calls for a theme evoking 'moments before disaster' so the thought is some action movie sequence before something is going to blow up or some such.
