everything i’ll ever need (original)

“Aurora” is a gentle, ethereal song about the emotional release of one’s inner child. The track opens with a comforting reassurance, softly encouraging the listener to break free from the pain they've been holding onto. With delicate lyrics and a calming atmosphere, the song evokes feelings of peace and healing, as it invites the listener to let go of past burdens and embrace freedom.

As the song progresses, "Aurora" moves into a space filled with "ooohs" and "ahhs," creating an ambient, dreamlike soundscape reminiscent of artists like Sigur Rós, Enya, or AURORA. The closing lines, with the imagery of a fading candlelight, symbolize the quiet and reflective process of release, allowing listeners to meditate on the beauty of letting go.

With its minimalist approach and soothing melodies, “Aurora” sits comfortably alongside the works of Kate Bush, Imogen Heap, and Lisa Gerrard, offering a song that speaks to the heart while creating an ethereal sonic journey.

Oh my sweet,
It's gonna be alright,
You can leave now,
Break free.

All the pain,
Just between us it remains,
You're free now,
It's okay, let it be.

Watch the night,
Precious candle burning low,
In its light,
You can let go.

"Old Man" is a song written and performed by Canadian rock singer-songwriter and guitarist Neil Young from his 1972 album Harvest. "Old Man" was released as a single on Reprise Records in the spring of 1972, reaching number 4 in Canada, and number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for the week ending June 3.
The song was written for the caretaker of the Northern California Broken Arrow Ranch, which Young purchased for US$350,000 in 1970 . The song compares a young man's life to an old man's and shows that the young man has, to some extent, the same needs as the old one. James Taylor played six-string banjo (tuned like a guitar) and sang on the song, and Linda Ronstadt also contributed vocals."        Wikipedia

Lyrics:

Hey. 
Hey.
Hey my brother, why you screen my calls?
Just like mother. 
Why's she screen our calls?
Answer when we call. 
Uncle Sid arrived this fall. 

Now I'll fly around on some old cheerios.
And I'll make it known when I know what I know. 

Now I'm drifting off,
Can't you feel we're drifting off. 
Yeah I feel we're drifting off. 
I turn around, and you're gone, gone, gone. 

Hey.
Hey.
Hey, can you find my shoes?
Hey, can't be that hard to lose. 
Time it came and went so soon. 
Yeah, time it came and went too soon. 

I'm flyin' round on some old cheerios.
And I'll make it known when I know what I know. 

Now I'm drifting off,
Can't you feel we're drifting off. 
Yeah I feel we're drifting off. 
I turn around, and you're gone, gone, gone.

Old Cheerio

Reworking of a recent idea:

Oh little one I wonder what you've done
Did you sail beyond the setting sun?
All I know is that you are gone again
Here or there

And when, when you imagine time
Is it a lost and lonely satellite?
Oh you know I only want to stay by your side
Here or there, near or far
When or where you are

I think of all the dreams that we have shared
And all the heights that we have dared
Do you recall the winding, winding stairs?
Here and there, near and far
When and where you are
Forever

When And Where You Are

To be with you

Lyrics:
Walking the hall, hours to go. 
Stare at the people lined in a row. 
Head for the gate, scanners in sight. 
They're searching a nun and a child on the right. 

Here we are, nothing's gonna come our way
Proudly born victims of the USA.
Let it out, and let it all sink right in.
I believe they'll shackle us in chains again. 

I'm moving fast. Feet on the floor.
It ends and I stop, man I wish they had more. 
Got all the time, nothing to lose. 
I've browsed all the shit they want us to choose. 

Here we are, nothing's gonna come our way
Proudly born victims of the USA.
Let it out, and let it all sink right in. 
I believe they're shackle us in chains again. 

Have your morals grown cold?
Yeah, when your morals grow cold, 
You'll do whatever's told. 
Well have your morals grown cold?

I’m Wes Bocci, or We|ai (way-lay). This is a lifelong solo project, and a diary of my musical journey. 

I grew up in the Portland area and started teaching myself guitar in the 7th grade. After being exposed to a lot of 90s alternative music growing up, I soon discovered 1960s rock in high school. I started writing my own songs sometime around then. 

I primarily write on guitar, banjo, ukulele, or piano. I also collect different types of instruments, all of which I try to incorporate into my work. 

This Soundcloud page will update periodically as I continue finishing my next album, Sunny One. Thanks for listening, and please follow me to hear more soon.
