Oh this is a fabulous track , well done Andrea and Bruce !

THE MUTE is a protean creature.

It has no face, no identity of its own. It is made of everything that constitutes the world around us: sensations, feelings and emotions. His face is therefore in constant evolution, depending on what he perceives around him.

It represents our time, its successes, its progress but also of its defects. THE MUTE is condemned to wander in our world and testifies of what he feels by the music and by the multiple visual expressions of his face.

I always enjoy collaborating with Bruce Kenyon (https://soundcloud.com/epicdreamery). This song is about enduring difficulty yet keeping a positive outlook. 

I am a Survivor
Music, Vocals and production by Bruce Kenyon
Lyrics by Andrea Brennan

V1
Standing at your grave site
I am fearful and cold
You weren't supposed to leave me
I'm just eighteen years old

V2
The world is a monster 
I will now face alone
But I have your love inside my heart
And your strength inside my bones

Chorus
I am a survivor
I'm ready to fight
Dark times lay ahead
But my will burns bright
I am a survivor
And I'm ready to fight
With an angel watching over me
I know I'll be alright

V3
Silent tears sting my eyes
As I resolve to go
Heading off towards my future 
Down an uncharted road

V4
Mistakes they may find me 
With every wrong turn
But I will keep (on) growing stronger
With every lesson I learn

Chorus
I am a survivor
I'm ready to fight
Dark times lay ahead
But my will burns bright
I am a survivor
And I'm ready to fight
With an angel watching over me
I know I'll be alright

Bridge
You were my nest and oak tree
My sanctuary
My river and compass
Always guiding me
And every heartfelt stitch 
In our woven tapestry
All of these things
All these memories (optional L7 or L8)
Live on in me

Chorus
I am a survivor
I'm ready to fight
Dark times lay ahead
But my will burns bright

I am a survivor
And I'm ready to fight
With an angel watching over me
I know I'll be alright

I AM A SURVIVOR

        This song brings back some good memories, it's just a slow groove that lifts your spirits and brings a happy summer glow to your face! We all take a little trip down Memory Lane every now and then, more now than then, I must admit in today's climate. My attempt at a soul song, a bit of R&B for me! Charlie sang it really well and played some harmonica on it too. I told Charlie to sing it like Marvin Gaye or Al Green or Otis Redding or someone like that! My harmony vocals were a bit off but the doo-doo's at the end were on target. I even had Charlie talk some lines too! I wrote out a little script for him to follow! Pretty cool if you ask me but what do I know?

The video is brand new, I finished it last month. It was really fun putting it together and I was watching old reruns of "The Wonder Years" to get me in the mood. That show actually made me think of this old song of mine, I had actually forgotten all about it! The video shows you memories through a young girls eyes in her room, she then grows up and you see her arranging old photos and watching old movies on video tape and enjoying some popcorn and then when she gets older there's a special treat for everybody, a twist, I won't spoil it here but watch until the end! Sometimes a tear or two develops while you're strolling down Memory Lane.
     So C'mon, everybody chill out for a while, have a nice drink, close your eyes and let's take a trip, me and you, down Memory Lane! Where smiles are plenty and frowns are few! You won't be sorry! 😉

 “MEMORY LANE”

WHEN I GET WORRIED AND I’M FEELING LOW,  
FORGET MY TROUBLES AND DOWN I GO,   
MEMORY LANE, OH YEAH, MEMORY LANE,     

IT ALL COMES BACK TO ME CRYSTAL CLEAR, 
THE ROAD THAT TAKES ME FAR AWAY FROM HERE,    
MEMORY LANE, OH YEAH, MEMORY LANE,
    
IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY AND SKIES ARE BLUE,
SMILE ARE PLENTY AND FROWNS ARE FEW,     
ON MEMORY LANE, OH YEAH, MEMORY LANE,
  
WHEN LIFE IS HARD AND ALL HOPE IS GONE,        
I REMEMBER THE ROAD I’M ON,  
MEMORY LANE, OH YEAH, MEMORY LANE,       

WHEN IT SEEMS I CAN’T FIND A FRIEND,   
HAPPY THOUGHTS ARE JUST AROUND THE BEND,   
ON MEMORY LANE, OH YEAH, MEMORY LANE,
      
LOOKING DEEP IN MY HEART AND SOUL,      
I CLOSE MY EYES AND LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL,

WHEN I GET WORRIED AND I’M FEELING LOW,  
FORGET MY TROUBLES AND DOWN I GO,   
MEMORY LANE, OH YEAH, MEMORY LANE.
