see me

sunrise

away from you

A song I wrote for music production class. Inspired by the music of Mike Oldfield.

Lyrics:

For a moment I'm frozen
Everything seems to move so slow
Awestruck by the destruction
As it all is going up in smoke

We all knew it was bound to end this way
We connected the dots
Fragile beings with violent minds
It was doomed from the start

Looking back at the way things used to be
Why did it end up like this?
So much promise wasted on a whim
Flushed right down the drain

So wake me up from the blackness
Pinch my arm and wake me up
Can we undo our regression?
And somehow make the madness stop

Did we survive, is it over yet?
It seems nobody knows
Gazing out over endless fields of ash
As another bomb blows

[Chorus reprise]

Hell yeah in Barbados

A musical science fiction story of a threatening solar cataclysm & unification of all nations in averting catastrophe.  Like earthquakes, sunquakes occur, but they're not as threatening as my sci-fi tale suggests!

I Wonder Who Is Like This One

And now for something completely different...

No, I didn't become a Rastafarian, although I've enjoyed reggae for years! This reggae song got jazzy when my 80-something dad applied his saxophone skills to my melodies. I learned later that "reggae jazz" is an actual genre... I have lots of new music to discover!
