Let Me Be

[Verse]
Caught in this echo chamber
Things are really getting stranger  (how)
How did we get so far aw-ay 
From love

Yearning for connection
Let’s try a new direction
I want to hear your point of view
Not judge     

[Chorus]  
There’s no us or other
You’re my sister your my brother
When we come together
Make this world a little better 
A better place for you and me  

[V2] 
We all share the same sun 
The same moon the same skies
It dont matter why 
But we all cry we all cry 

[Chorus]
There’s no us or other
You’re my sister your my brother
When we come together
Make this world a little better 
A better place for you and me

[Bridge]
I see you standing there
I see you standing by
I’m offering my hand 
So come on let me try 

[Chorus]
There’s no us or other
You’re my sister your my brother
When we come together
Make this world a little better 
A better place for you and me

No Us, No Other 2.22.2022

I’ve been looking for you in so many faces
And the other day  thought I found you
(Spoken) To someone else you belong 
I’m still looking for you going places
Crying out for heavens all day and night long

And I’m trying to talk myself out of it
But this stupid heart
Won’t take no for an answer 
It is not very smart

Archangel then said we were both on a mission
We’re here to heal ourselves and the world
Spoken: We weren’t supposed to meet (At least not in this lifetime
When doing the work you drop all superstition
With pain and fear here love wouldn’t fit

Chorus:
And I’m trying to talk myself out of it
But this selfish heart
Won’t take no for an answer
It is not very smart

Bridge:
Been trying to shake your arms off of me
But it wouldn’t work no matter what I would do
This stupid heart is so selfish
All it is asking for is pleasure in you

Chorus:
Trying to talk myself out of it
But this bleeding heart
Won’t take no for an answer 
It is not very smart

Selfish Heart

BEAT BOOTS

Red Tailed Hawk - My father always loved hawks and would always point them out to me on hikes. Two days after he died I had a very close encounter with a hawk in the woods behind my home - the hawk was sitting on a low tree branch a few yards away from me and we just stared at each other for several minutes. I immediately felt that it was my dad checking in and letting me know that he was ok. I’ve been seeing them fairly often since then, and it’s a great comfort amidst the grief. Sometimes I see a pair of hawks, and it makes me think that he’s not alone wherever he is.

Red Tailed Hawk

Red tailed hawk, circling
Is that you, checking on me? 
Rise above barren branches
(I) Rise above people’s glances
When I cry, oh I want to hide
Oh why? 

Wicked winds land on my heart
Winter’s comin’ early and I start to think about 
All the ways to feed this soul of mine 
And how they say it all gets better with time 

You guide me home
You guide me home
You guide me home
You guide me home

Red tailed hawk, back again
Cryin’ out like you know where I’ve been 
Soaring high, searching low 
Hungry for where to go

When we go, are we alone? 
Want to believe we’re not alone 

Wicked winds land on my heart
Winter’s comin’ early and I start to think about 
All the ways to feed this soul of mine 
And how they say it all gets better with time 

You guide me home
You guide me home
You guide me home
You guide me home

Red Tailed Hawk [Kat Selman] - Demo

Вдали От Родины

На Пати 2018 mix

The Night In Tunisia

Originally written as a demo back in Dec 2019 on a songwriting course. I took this into the studio to record because I had such great feedback from sharing this story about shedding old skin and the embracing of new opportunities.

Ill Carry Me_Demo

Recorded as a live set in the music studios. One take and BOOM a beautiful end result
This song is about the shedding of old skin and embracing the new layers
