Mood Glow

This is a song about the impermanence of relationships. In my younger years I assumed the people I knew would always be there and I would mourn the loss of those who drifted out of my life for whatever reason. Now I see it’s the temporary nature of relationships and everything else in life that gives it meaning.

I felt less lonely when I didn’t know you
Desert sunset
Lay underneath the stars
It’s cold outside
Thoughts running around my head
Running, running, running out of time
Running, running, running out of time
Songs are beautiful
Nothing changes if nothing changes 
No, nothing changes if nothing changes 
But it’s too late now, I remember everything 
I can feel the rain upon my skin
Raining down on me
Don’t make a sound
Thoughts running around my head
Running, running, running out of time
Running, running, running out of time
Songs are beautiful
Songs are beautiful, beautiful because they end

Songs Are Beautiful Because They End

I hope your heart will be clear... I composed with that feeling.✨⛅✨
thank you for listening!!👍

They say that life is a test but not everyone’s dealt the same hand
Some are born into privilege, while others struggle through quicksand
We play the cards we’re dealt as we try to find our way,
Doing our best to keep our heads above water as we go about each day.
People born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they’re rich and the die is cast
Other’s get a wooden spoon, which the termites eat, and it’s struggle not to finish last
They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it’s hard to put a smile on your face
When the game is rigged and you can’t even get to first base.
How many billions do you have to accumulate before you’re just running up the score
At what point do you decide that you don’t need anymore
Telling rags-to-riches stories, so the common man believes it’s true,
“Keep those taxes off the billionaires cause someday that might be you.”
 People born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they’re rich and the die is cast
Other’s get a wooden spoon, which the termites eat, and it’s struggle not to finish last
They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it’s hard to put a smile on your face
When the game is rigged and you can’t even get to first base.
 Politicians smiling and acting like they share your blues,
But they’d collapse in a minute trying to walk a mile in your shoes.
Lottery tickets selling hope, though the odds are that you’ll never win
You’ve got a better chance of being struck by lightning than ever cashing in.
You’ll be paying off those loans for the rest of your life from that useless college degree
As the corporations implement AI trying their best to replace you and me
 The universe is billions of years old; we come and go in a flash.
We spend our short lives obsessing over cash.
 People born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they’re rich and the die is cast
Other’s get a wooden spoon, which the termites eat, and it’s struggle not to finish last
They say money can’t buy you happiness, but it’s hard to put a smile on your face
When the game is rigged and you can’t even get to first base.

Life Is a Test

No regrets, we can change a lot in our lives. If to take time for it. And we have time for everything.

If I Can Love You (Walker/Davidson)

Standing Still (Demo) by Spirit Sound is a moving reflection on faith when life feels too overwhelming. The song’s tender piano and airy atmosphere create a sacred calm, letting every note breathe with meaning. Written by Melinda Klotz Mercer, this demo captures the quiet strength of surrender — a moment between exhaustion and renewal where stillness becomes worship. 

Shadows whisper, give up
But I won't fade away
A fragile spark inside me
Keeps the dark at bay
I'm standing still in the chaos
While the storm is racing past
Holding on to the promise
That your love will always last

When the ground feels like it's breaking
And the night is cold and long
Your light keeps me steady
I'm standing still, but I'm not gone
Paper walls of marriage
Job, I can't escape
Children drifting farther
Dreams begin to break

But I hear your quiet whisper
Through the static and the pain
I will never leave you
I am with you in the rain
The darkness tries to bind me
But your mercy pulls me near
Even in the silence
Your heart becomes my fear

I'm standing still in the chaos
While the storm is racing past
Holding on to the promise
That your love will always last
When the ground feels like it's breaking
And the night is cold and long
Your light keeps me steady
I'm standing still, but I'm not gone

Even when the quicksand rises
And I can't see the dawn
I'm anchored in your promise
You are where my strength comes from
The world keeps on moving
But I'm not lost in the chill
I'm grounded in your glory
Still standing, standing still
Still standing, standing still
Still standing, standing still
Still standing, standing still
Standing still

Standing Still

This song is for you. You have battled, hurt and lost in ways that only you know. But thank you for being here with me, and listening to this song. I hope it can help you in some small way in these unpredictable times.

Always

We had always liked
The way that she sat in
Between us

She would always cry
For anyone
Lost in the lead up

We had so much time
But she’ll never
See Argentina

When she left we died
And there was no love in
Between us

The you that died that day
Had someone else’s heart
Now we are left to 
Pick up the pieces
And scrape up every part
The you that died that day
Was never strong enough
That's why we’re out here
Better without fear
And you're just one of us

I would always try
But I didn't know 
How to read him

As his anger shined
I couldn't say
What was needed

And each time I died
I couldn't stop
To repeat it

The you that died that day
Had someone else’s heart
Now we are left to 
Pick up the pieces
And scrape up every part
The you that died that day
Was never strong enough
That's why we’re out here
Better without fear
And you're just one of us

You were always right
I’m not a true believer

Always on my mind
But I’ll never
Be his achiever 

She was always kind
Maybe it's time
To go see her

The you that lived that day
Has a better heart
You were made up of
All of the pieces
Of someone that I loved
The you that lives today
Will always be enough
You are not perfect
But it will be worth it
Cause you are one of us
We are not perfect
But it will be worth it
Cause you are one of us

Always

I don’t know when
my heart began to loosen up again.
My body’s tight,
and I keep glancing back at where I’ve been.

I fall into the same routine,
holding on to what I know.

Tomorrow might bring sun or rain—
should I hand it all to fate,
or trust myself at last
and chase that landmark down again?

Wonderland Crisis
I dive into a shining sea of light.
Time drifts soft and slow,
and the waves keep shifting
the distance between us—
pushing us apart,
pulling us close again.

Even on a new-moon path,
there’s always just a little glow ahead.
After the rain, the grasses sway,
and tiny creatures start to sing.

We repeat the same old things,
but no two years are ever the same.

When the dawn breaks and the birds awake,
I let the waves decide or ride their crest.
The earth and sky
are singing all around us.

Wonderland Crisis
A farewell light spills over the corner of town.
Even a wandering butterfly
can throw the heart off course.
We chase what’s real—
endlessly, endlessly—
and I’ll set out with you.

Wonderland Crisis
I dive into a shining sea of light.
Time drifts soft and slow,
and the waves keep shifting
the distance between us—
pushing us apart,
pulling us close again.

Wonderland Crisis ワンダーランドクライシス
