A simple non-religious gospel-style tune about about the struggle to love ourselves while loving each other.

"Love You, Too"

I know the mirror doesn't hold your favorite portrait
And your dreams, they’re touched with sadness, pain, and regret
Oh, but it hurts me so to see you sink yourself into this reverie of blue,
Maybe you could try to love you, too

I know sometimes it feels you worry rightly, 
And your heart's not an accessory you wear lightly
But if you have the kind of heart to find forgiveness for the funny things I do,
Maybe you can learn to love you, too

I know I'm bound to draw some words of pot & kettle
When you have seen me through so many darkest days.
Maybe each has a unique and precious mettle (/metal...)
And we just need to help each other count the ways

Oh, it’s hard sometimes to take the love we're given
And harder still to trust this world we live in
But I will swear to do my best to save a little bit of shelter here for you,
So maybe you can learn to love you, too

Oh, but it hurts me so to see you sink yourself into this reverie of blue,
Maybe you can love you too.

I hope that you can love you, too.

Gotta check that pile of email
Gotta join that online group
Gotta stay…in the loop

Gotta check those pesky phone calls
Gotta make that hashtag soup
Gotta stay…in the loop

I joined my friends on FaceBook
Just to keep up with their lives
But I think I'll check back later
When they've put away their knives!

Gotta block those spammy promos
Can't believe how low they stoop!
Gotta stay…in the loop

2)
Gotta see those funny cat vids
Gotta watch them newsies bloop
Gotta stay…in the loop

Gotta keep those tweets a Twittin'
Gotta Tik-Tok! Whoop de doop!
Gotta stay…in the loop

A lawyer in Nigeria has some money in a drawer
But the one that wrote me last week’s
Gonna pay me 10 times more!

Got my SnapChat, Reddit, Insta
Gotta keep up with the scoop!
Gotta stay…in the loop

If you wanna snoop
You gotta stay in the loop!

Urban Sprawl

Modernized cover of 80's Howard Jones tune, 'Things Can Only Get Better'

Produced by Roger Hewett, concept and vocals Kari Lynn Hewett.

As a song about risking the things we have to work for a better life, I've long heard this as a potential theme for social change as well as the personal kind.

"Let You Go" 
If I have to let you go
it's like letting go a lifeline. 
You're in my knuckles and my bones. 
You'll take me inside out. 

I don't think I want to know 
how to reckon with what's coming this time. 
I can't pick this up alone. 
You leave me inside out. 
You leave me inside out. 

Can't take this, 
knowing I'm about to fall apart without you 
I don't mean that metaphorically 
My heart is 
spilling from my chest 
You're leaving such a mess, 
and nothing's going to bring you back to me. 

So I have to let you go, 
and try to separate your pieces from mine. 
They all feel like they're my own. 
You leave me inside out 
You leave me inside out

Let You Go
