I like the flow and the lyrics are really good

Tremendous work. Fantastic vocals and the backing music is top

Super concept... track is on point... love it

You know what you doing that’s easy to see

Cicadas are all about love, singing each summer, and inspiring this song!  Friends encouraged me to release it again with the recent big cicada generations.  Hope folks remember this song and smile when they see or hear the little critters - enjoy!

Lyrics:  😊

(Humming Cicadas)

(Dreaming Cicada)
When I woke up from this endless aching time
I’d dreamed that you were here still sleeping by my side
I thought we promised all our love for all our lives? 
Oh, why’d we say goodbye?
Oh, why’d we say – why’d we say goodbye?

(Awakening Cicada)
I rose and sung a song to fill the skies
But I wished it filled the silence in your eyes
Come and stay with me – I’ll love you ‘til I die!
Oh, why’d we say goodbye?
Oh, why’d we say goodbye?
Oh, why’d we say – why’d we say goodbye?

(Anticipatory Cicada)
In the evenings I still lie awake and cry
I’m waiting on morning for the sunrise in the sky
Then I’ll fly!   Yes, I’ll fly! 
I’ll fly!  Yes, I’ll fly! 
Oh, why’d we say – why’d we say goodbye?

(Hopeful Cicada)
I love you – will forever – can we try?
And I hope I hear your promise in reply
Come away with me – I’ll love you all your life!
Oh, don’t you cry, or say goodbye
Oh, don’t you cry, or say goodbye
Don’t cry…

(Singing Cicadas)
I thought I heard you before I saw you
Sounding like you’re coming alive!
Breaking out, the whole world’s before you
Hope you write your name in the sky!

(Flying Cicadas)
Ah, ah, ah, ah – yeah, yeah!   Ah, ah, ah, ah!   Yeah, watch us fly high!

Cicadas - Waiting on Morning

Etherea 2

When I get To Heaven

Dream Away


I'm gonna close my eyes
and dream a dream tonight.
This face I recognize.
Bathed in holy light.

Dream away.
Baby, dream away.
She's there for you to find.
Once the stars align.

You see

I'm this long lost soul
trying to make my way.
This life has took its toll.
I am nothing more than prey.

Dream away.
Dream a brand new day.
Help me see the signs
beyond my minds confines.

I'm a wannabe
drowning in a sea
of mediocrity.

In my history
the stark reality
that love won't come for me.

Life holds no guarantee.
On that can we agree?
Broken hearts can be stingy.

I can finally see
true love will never be
till there's humility.

She is all I need.
The only hope I see.
My one true destiny.

I'm gonna close my eyes
and dream of her tonight.
She's where my future lies
but for now I'll fantasize.

Dream away.
Baby, dream away.
A dream is all I'll know.
Till God can make it so.

Dream away.
Baby, dream away.

Dream Away

“It Rained Last Night" with the rumbling thunderstorm and original Taylor LKSM-6 acoustic guitar.  My co-writer Greg Coombe and I hope you enjoy this hauntingly mysterious tune. My deep thanks to Jim Rothlisberger for his cool storm painting too! ⛈️

Lyrics:   🙂

It Rained Last Night 

[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
It rained last night,
Loud bang of thunder kept me up, kept me up.
Raindrops, the damn constant plunking, plinking of water, 
Seems to drive me insane...

[chorus 1]
I left the window open,
You went to shut it and left in the rain! 
Left in the rain...!

[verse 2]
Mystified by the silent goodbye,
And I wished that I could fly.
Toast was burnt, the coffee was ruined, 
It’s the little things you notice, 
When you notice they’re gone...

[chorus 2]
It rained last night, soft rumble of thunder, 
And it turned you on! Turned you on! 
Turned you on, and on...!

[instrumental outro]
