How we tried to find just the right voice!  a contralto but definitely a mezzo soprano.

I even tried to sing one of your poems lol you were so gracious!  I am dreaming of you, dear Sir Will.

Grandfather Clock: Collage and Incantatum (10-9-13)

New sketch I'm working on, it's been a while so I thought I'd share :) 

Thanks so much for listening everyone! 

If You're Listening
Hey you up there are you listening?
Because I feel so all alone
And I mingle with the people
But it doesn't feel like home.
I greet them with an open heart
And the smile will reach my eyes
But somehow this soul is set apart
Wearing courage her disguise

Love, love, love
Oh it's just beyond my reach
But I feel it in the sunrise
In the dancing of the leaves
Love, love, love
Oh I've seen it in my dreams
So hey you up there, if you're listening
Show me you can hear my plea.

I float on with the river
And as I crash upon the stones
The cleansing flow it brings new hope
And it's seeping through my bones.
Spirit guides, please guide me
I've surely lost my way
I don't know if I should fight or hide
Paralyzed by fear or faith.

Love, love, love
Oh it's just beyond my reach
But I feel it in the rainfall
And I hear it on the breeze
Love, love, love
Oh I've seen it in my dreams
So hey you up there if you're listening
Show me you can hear my plea.

Here I stand with my arms open wide
I raise my voice up to the night
And the lady moon she shines so bright
And I swear she whispers..... "It's alright"
Love, love, love
Always just beyond my reach
I feel it in the starlight
In the ground beneath my feet
Love, love, love
Here I'm down on bended knee
So hey you up there, if you're listening
Will you save some love for me
Hey you up there if you're listening
Will you save some love 
For me?

If You're Listening

This is an idea that popped into my head during a yoga class..... my teacher was talking about presence, about truly listening to your inner self, your higher power, whoever that may be. It resonated with me, so naturally had to make it a song :) Thanks as always for lending your ears.

Waiting

I've been waiting, waiting, waiting
But for what I'm not quite sure
I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
keep my eyes upon the door
Will I like it? What I find?
Or will I be stubborn blind?
All caught up in me.

I wait, I wait, wait
hope I don't dry out on the shelf
anticipating, with breath bated
for this thing to show itself
sitting on my treasure trove
where the hell did that key go?
Must be lost at sea

And if God calls will I be listening?
Will I pick up the phone?
If God calls with all the answers
Will there be anyone home?

I've been waiting, waiting, waiting
For my time to come around
It's been grating, grating, grating
all this wait has got me down
But what I have failed to see
That I've been missing everything
waiting for me.

And if God calls will I be listening?
Will there be anyone home?
If God calls with all the answers
Will I pick up the phone?
Please leave a message
While I sing my song
I'll sing it loud, I'll sing it strong 
Come dance along
Don't matter if we do it wrong
Come dance with me

And if God calls will I be listening?
Will I pick up the phone?
If God calls with all the answers
Will there be anyone home?
Please leave a message at the tone.

NOVA IT FM MIXXXTAPE - MIXED BY N3W70N 147

I thought I'd try another piano sketch, my keyboard is on it's last leg and my piano skills are rudimentary at best but this one has been floating around in my head for a bit now..... much love and thanks to you all for your inspiration, encouragement and overall awesomeness. 

And special thank you to Rockshamrover (Vinny) for talking me off the ledge and keeping this one out of the trash bin :)

Age 63. Long white beard.
Projects: INCANTATUM: ballads and up-tempo numbers  with a common theme-- a female student's troubled relationships in a castle school of music, where the syllabus is a form of magic. COLLAGE: famous English-language poems put to music. The idea is to blur the line between art-song and popular music. SEA OF SAGITTARIUS: a sequel to Incantatum. I am looking for a female vocalist to lend her talents to these projects. I may be reached at william.d.hilton@gmail.com. UK vocalists welcome. See the sound entitled Grandfather Clock: Collage and Incantatum (10-9-13) for more info.
