I cried as the words went deeper into to my soul it speaks to me of my now everyday life.

Thanks for posting this on Google Plus for me.  I been dying to hear this tune for a while now. Just never could find it.

Nice job!  Thanks to you I can now get lost in soundcloud lol

My G-YAWS song for the week, based on the theme 'The Thing I Forgot'.  Very much in a rough form, but had a lot of fun writing and recording this in an evening.  Looking forward to fleshing it out some.

The Thing I Forgot by Tim Behrens © 2014

(v1)
When there’s something I forgot, I make a list of things it’s not
And somewhere in between I might stumble on what it is
It’s not the stress that buries days, that leaves me tired so many ways, it’s not the things I lose myself in, or things I’ve yet to live

(v2)
When there’s something I forget, I sit, I breathe, I write, and ponder it
What’s floating in the silence in between a longing wish
It’s not the hurt that’s piled upon, it’s not the roads that twisted long
It’s something that sounds easy, but is easier to miss 

(prechorus)
It’s not the list of things I’ve done, not the battles picked or won, there’s something more to put my finger on and I’m on it now

(chorus)
The thing I forget is there’s really nothing over yet, and straight lines make pictures far afar
If I follow all the things it’s not, make distance from the school of thought, what’s left is often  shining like a star
  
(v3) 
When I know something’s slipped my mind, I spin and turn and toss in time
 staring down the crossroads what went wrong what went wrong
 I carry through the motions, dedicated to the notion 
 That everything will fall in place, and if not there’s still a song
   
(prechorus)

(chorus)

The Thing I Forget - G-YAWS

This is a track from our new CD. Our group is called Miss Brown to You and the CD title is "Roll Away"
Mary Reynolds on bass and vocal. Roger Kimball on sax, Randy Coyne on drums, and I'm on piano.
Mary and I composed this one.

How Far Can I Fall?

Verse 1
Theres a desert where water used to flow
Theres a question where an answer used to go
Life changed and never asked permission from me
Now im fearing what this all could mean

Chorus
Ive been waiting for the overflow
Ive been longing for my heart to grow
So i trust that you see me below
And let your river flow, let it flow

Verse 2
What do i pray for when theres no sea to divide
Or if theres no chance to walk on water by your side
Is it too much to ask to see your hand
Or to ask for the strength to stand

Chorus
Ive been waiting for the overflow
Ive been longing for my heart to grow
So i trust that you see me below
And let your river flow, let it flow

Bridge
Take this dry land and make it flow
Seal your word in me so i will know
Breath in me and stir my heart
Im praying for a miracle, your work of art

Chorus
Ive been waiting for the overflow
Ive been longing for my heart to grow
So i trust that you see me below
And let your river flow, let it flow

Waiting for the Overflow

Tim Behrens and I wrote this for our GYAWS group.  This is my first cowrite with him and I can't tell you how excited I am to hear his voice on this in the near future, it's awesome!!

Slow down
Let our worries pass on by
The world will still be spinning
‘comes round, we don’t have to try
Slow down,
Look me in the eye
We can breathe each other’s silence
Shine truth where all these questions lie
There’s a blur here like the skipping of a page
Our stories lost in it, random as we stumble through the days
And a bullet list
We’ve been crossing off the lines
Starting days with dreams of peace
And ending nights with wine
Do you think that there might be another way?
Slow down
Let our worries pass on by
The world will still be spinning
‘comes round, we don’t have to try
Slow down,
Look me in the eye
We can breathe each other’s silence
Shine truth where all these questions lie
Are we stuck now, on a merry go round in time?
I know you’re here, we’ve faded… to the background, of some seek and find
And I caught a glimpse 
of how our love began
I’d quit this race a thousand times, as long as we are hand in hand
Do you think that there might be another way?

Crawl N Creep (Future Kings of Denmark)

I was lost somewhere - Between the lighting and the storm
Between heaven and your eyes - Your eyes
I was lost somewhere - Between the moon and the night
Between the ashes and the sea - Till I found your love

Chorus
I found you through a song - A fighting symphony
I wanna find you holding me
Would you crawl through the pain - Hold strong through the fire
To find your love in me

I wanna find your love - Find your love in me
I wanna find your love - Find your love in me

I was reaching out - Reaching through the earth
To find you in the light - In the dark
I was reaching out - With scars upon my hands
These wounds speak loud - Of how I found your love

Find Your Love

I was generously bestowed an amazing new app called Arpgeggionome from the developer Alexander Randon. I'm part of a contest from the iPad Musicians Group, to show off the capabilities of this new app. I used Drum jam in audio bus triggered by Arpeggionome recorded in MultiTrack DAW The following are the rest of the apps used. All through Audiobus and all at some point triggered by Arpeggionome: DrumJam, PPG WaveGenerator, Animoog, Gestrument, Thumbjam, and Sunrizer, This song was so challenging and fun to make. It's not for the faint of heart!  I exported as a wave and imported the track into Auria where I added the PSP Microwarmer and then exported straight to here. Btw I used one of  Nahuel Mijal presets from his soundbank that is free on Wolfgang Palm's blog. (creator of PPG)
Thanks for listening!!
