#NewMusic from #WildChristopher #Alive and #More

A song that was done wonderful  originally by Simon & Garfunkel and then covered in an amazing rendition by Disturbed.  I think 2 may have been all we needed!  A friend of mine told me that 'covers are traps'.... he tried to warn me!  As lovely as this song it, I think it will forever be known by me now as the song that kicked my butt!  

I dove into this song as I continue to study song writing.  A masterpiece!

I do not own the rights to this song and will immediately remove it requested by the artists and publishing company.

Sound Of Silence (cover)

“Start Digging the Holes” (Free Download)

Music by Brian Wilson (@rexgoliath-1)
Lyrics and Vocals by Wild Christopher (@wild-christopher-lyrics)

The day of I told you so 
Isn’t going to make me happy
I won’t be happy

If we practice what we preach
I really can’t believe 
Our congregation of sheep
Is truly listening

Get yours, save ours
A rhetoric of fears and stereotypes 
Used as absolutes to justify how we feel 
Modern day Samaritans we walk right by

Start digging the holes that are coming
Start digging, the holes are coming (coming)
Start digging 
We’re all in it
Don’t deny it the day we start crying
The day we all lie 
When we all knew

Minions claiming darkness is good
How will we say it wasn’t understood?
The evil is spoken so clear
Are we sleeping well tonight?
An eye for an eye doesn’t always end the fight

CHORUS
We all knew

Get the shovel 
Grab the hoe
Twist and turn what we know 
We can bury the bodies like we bury our souls

push 
speak
you keep on pushing me

blind
can’t you see?
what you are creating?

what I want to know is
why you want me to explode
what I need to see
is the sight of you leaving me
be

like sirens blare in the street 
screaming out
i don’t care what you believe
this is what I am
this is truly me

what I want to know is
why you want me to explode
what I need to see
is the sight of you leaving me
be
be

be
let me be
let me be
be

push, push and push

“Cowboy Soul”

Music by Monsoon Cortex (https://soundcloud.com/monsooncortex)
Lyrics and vocals by Wild Christopher (https://soundcloud.com/wild-christopher-lyrics)

I was born in a nation of cowboys
The Wild West and dusty saloons
So when you think you can tame us
Watch it all go up like a balloon

We celebrate the rebel
We yell and cheer him on
We are the sons of the revolution
It’s in our blood can’t break the mold

Don’t try to domesticate me 
Independence continues to roll
You’ll never be able to hold me
It’s the Cowboy Soul

Don’t try to domesticate me 
Independence continues to roll
You’ll never be able to hold me
It’s the Cowboy Soul

Cowboy Soul
Cowboy Soul

“A Portrait of Me”

Music by https://soundcloud.com/dabluroom
Lyrics and vocals by https://soundcloud.com/wild-christopher-lyrics
Additional instrumentation and production by https://soundcloud.com/rudemanrb

I found a diary of a soldier
It reads like a tale of a dying man
Look to find its author
Found the mirror instead

A portrait of me
Draw my lines again
A portrait of me
Draw my lines again

All my life I’ve been a-fighting
Myself or another man
Telling myself it is for justice
Doubts whisper in my head

A portrait of me
Draw my lines again
A portrait of me
Draw my lines again

I was born with an anger
Kill a chance for love and for friends 
Do I have the will to change me
Or will it only be buried when I’m dead?

A portrait of me
Draw my lines again
A portrait of me
Draw my lines again
Will I make changes for the living
Or am I the legacy for the dead?

For the dead…

“Afraid of the Dark”

Music by https://soundcloud.com/david-cintron-3
Lyrics and vocals by https://soundcloud.com/wild-christopher-lyrics

She left a letter
A note goodbye
She left a crater
A hole inside 
For the darkness to find

Lord can you help me?
Can you feel me?
Can you fill me up?
I’m afraid of the dark
It’s coming, 
Coming over me

Into the dark
I fall into the dark
Help me resist
It’s her I miss
And I find
I still succumb 
To the dark

I am in darkness
Dear Lord can you lead me 
To the light?

I have the pictures
Smiling faces
With no traces
Of the darkness
Coming for me
Coming for me

I have the memories
But it’s time they leave
Just like she left me

Lord I’m afraid of the dark
It’s coming,
Coming for me

Into the dark
I fall into the dark
Help me resist
It’s her I miss
And I find
I still succumb 
To the dark

I am in the darkness
Dear Lord can you help
Help me to climb
To the light?
Into the light

"Alive"

We are… here
And we… still breathe
Our life has meaning
We’ll make a difference
Go make that difference

A new morning
Is coming to life
Embrace the feeling
Won’t stop it

Take a moment (and) look up
See us arrive
Embrace the feeling

Alive
Coming to life
Embrace the feeling
Won’t stop it 

Alive
Coming to life
Embrace the feeling
Won’t stop it

These walls
These chains
They won’t claim us

See these scars
These pains from the past
They are the fuel to feed us

We are.. on our way
We’re built to last

Alive
We are coming to life
Embrace the feeling

Alive
We are coming to life
Embrace the feeling

(falsetto humming)

Alive 
We are coming to life
No one can stop us
Embrace the feeling

These days in the dark
Break in the morning light
We are alive
