On and On

A lament for better days behind us

Jillian Carelli - vocals, piano
Bo Konigsmark - guitar, bass, flute

Remember the days when we all felt the love?
The life we knew was enough
But now, now it's all changed
And I don't know how

And who's to blame?
We went along for the ride
Pretending it was fine
And all the while I knew
Something was wrong

How was I supoosed to know
How ev'rything would go?

I can't, can't describe
The way we have lied to ourselves
Thinking all, all was well

Somehow, someway
Ev'ryone has paid
And so the time has come
To see what is done
Not over now
It's just begun

Remember The Days

A lullaby written in obsolete time and reapplied to quarantine struggles

Jillian Carelli - vocals, piano
Bo Konigsmark - guitar, bass, flute

LYRICS

When you are blue
Things could never be so bad
If you see what can be
You'll know there's no reason
At all, to cry

Always with you
My heart forever stays
Safe and strong, days will come
When all your troubles
Pass away, no more today

I'm all alone
Won't somebody rescue me?
I'm bored, indoors
No one to see, just me

It's time to sleep
Lay down and breathe
Fall slowly down to bed
Goodnight

Not So Blue

A song that was composed in two days and during the week of mid March 2020, when everything was changing

Rose Hegele - vocals
Bo Konigsmark - piano
Jillian Carelli - juno synth

LYRICS

There's no escape
Ev'rything has changed
I'm needed, more now

Because disaster came
My enemies inside me
Obsolete, wiped out, destroyed
Maybe I can find a new way to feel
Even though it seems impossible
Try your best, leave no stone unturned

When I see you I will barely understand
Time has changed us all
And though I'm seeking what is not there
I know I'll be strong and true, now

New World

First song composed when the reality of shutdown became clear. When I knew we weren't allowed to be together anymore

Rose Hegele - soprano 
Jillian Carelli - alto and juno synth
Bo Konigsmark - tenor

LYRICS

SOPRANO (Hegele)
I miss you so badly, madly
I cannot wait any longer
When will I see you again?
Fight with me
I know you'll shine brightly
Always so pure
So truly wonderful
And honest light
Must shine forever
Only yours and mine
Always you

ALTO (Carelli)
I miss you, oh so madly
Can't wait any longer
When will I see you again?
Fight with me
I know you'll shine brighly
So pure and simple
Never changing, full and blinding
Light must shine forever
Only mine and yours
Not anyone's, so be true to me
And no one else

TENOR (Konigsmark)
I miss you, oh so madly
Cannot wait any longer
When will I see you again?
Soon
I know you'll shine so brightly
True, always in full
Light must shine forever
Only yours and mine
Mine
