*There are some days where I can't face the reality of existence and life is just too much to continue on... It was on one of those days that I wrote this song and it helped me to get through what I was dealing with, hopefully it will help others as well and help them come out the other side...

Surrender lyrics:
Walking this path all alone, heading nowhere
Feeling so lost with a head full of thoughts of despair
Drowning in sorrow not sure of tomorrow
Just hoping it all disappears
Knowing full well that I make my own hell
As long as I’m living in fear

I know if I were to be honest, I’d say that I lie 
It’s not that I do it on purpose, I swear I don’t try 
But I’m so afraid that I’ll be pushed away, so I hide away in these lies
It’s the only way that I can feel safe, the only way I can survive

Standing at the edge of this cliff
Looking out on to the sky at sunrise
The wind’s at my shoulder it feels like it’s pushing me over
What if I take, just one leap of faith, will all of this quickly be over?

If I jump will I fall, will I die, Will this be the end of this lie
Or will I somehow before I hit the ground learn to fly

Will I open my wings just in time
Will I soar to the heights of the skies
No longer a victim of this game of chance we call life 

I am ready to let myself fly  
I will soar to the heights of the skies
Take that leap of faith now, cause I know that somehow 
I’m able to let myself fly

I will open my wings and I’ll fly
I will soar to the heights of the skies
I surrender myself to all that is good in this life

Surrender (Original)

This is a recording from a performance I was doing (so it's not perfect) but it's a piece I've been working on and am still in the process of composing. Written over a period of about 9 years, in 4 different locations, throughout different times in my life, I'm beginning to think it might be the soundtrack to my life. ;) 

Roxy's Piano Piece (live performance)

I was having a night of covering karaoke musicals and this song I did turned out pretty well...(not perfect of course cause it's an impromptu live version) But it's such a beautiful song I thought I would share it anyways! 
Hope you enjoy it! :)

I Dreamed A Dream

This is a song I wrote a few years ago while feeling a bit lost, likely due to the existential angst that comes along from too much reflecting on life...

Find My Way- Roxanne Andrighetti Original

This is a song that was written the night a dear friend of our family passed away, inspired by the fleeting preciousness of life...


Lyrics:
Taking a trip down memory lane
Leaving no stone unturned on the way
Seeing what changes and what stays the same
Who would have known things would turn out this way
Cause we never thought that one day 
All too soon, yes too soon this could all slip away

All these days we have spent in this life
So caught up on who’s wrong or right
But life is too short and can be so sweet
When you’re kind to all those you meet
Cause who knows how long it will be

Til we live and we love as the stars rise above
Til we take hold of each of our days
Til we know just how soon this could all slip away

Keeping in touch just as much as we can
Each holding on tight hand in hand
Clinging to memories of times now gone by
Piecing together the times that we’ve shared 
Knowing how much each of us cared
How to know, this could go and all pass away

Oooh all slip away x2

In the blink of the eye this’ll all pass us by
What will we say when it comes to the end
What of our days, and how did we spend them?

Did we live did we love as the stars rise above,
Did we take hold of each of our days?
Did we know just how soon this could all slip away?

So let’s live and let’s love as stars rise above 
And take hold of each of our days
Make them count, before all of this passes away
Cause all too soon yes this too will all slip away


Slip Away (New Original)

This is a song I wrote not too long ago, it's probably one of my favourite ones, experimenting with a different style of playing... Hope you enjoy it! :)

Your Sweet Smile (Original)

I've always loved this song and finally decided to do my own version of it... I was setting up my recording gear yesterday and thought I would test it out with this song.. (dont mind the buzzing guitar, I think it may be running out of batteries)
Oh and as always, it's my own take on the song so it wont be the same as the original.. hope you enjoy it :)
