but i'm still here
once there was something there
now it's derelict and bare
i wonder if you care --
what happened to us?
no i can't help but mourn
what we could've made a home
what happened to our love?
what happened to us?
somewhere in the bones
i feel there's something
there worth saving
find the root cause
of it all --
the way we've
been behaving
somewhere in the weeds
of the resentment that's
been building
somewhere i can find
the way we were
reclaim it
if you wanted to, of course
reclaim it
we can take it back by force
I'm getting better with writing vocals in an hour that's for sure.
In the heart of the forest,
where the wild winds blow,
Lies an old, overgrown house,
A secret few have known.
Its walls draped in ivy,
its door barely seen,
Whispers of mystery,
where time has never been.
Oh, the overgrown house,
A doorway concealed,
To a realm of wonder,
where dreams are revealed.
Step through the threshold,
and leave the world behind,
In the overgrown house,
There's a new life to find.
*Repeat Once*
What else is there to talk about?
We've said our pieces, more than once
And now we're here again, speechless
Without an excuse to go on
And then you show me
That no matter what we say or do
Our love is bigger
Bigger than one discussion
Bigger than one mistake
I love the way you make me feel
I love each moment with you and I
love all your flaws
and all of your virtues
NOT GOING DOWN ALONE
Inspired by the song Non Entity
The last galaxy is in captivity. The peace is at the baby.
Familiar blue
Travelled, true
Stories to share
With home, with you
It’s all grown over
Left in a world of green
It all seems over
Nothing left to see
When I left a dream to drive
I knew that I’d return alive
Except that I left you behind
Earth’s covered the memories
i be vibing with dis.
It's nothing a little elbow grease can't restore.
"Hey look at this place, i've not seen it before. It looks old and abandoned. Let's go and explore, i'm sure we can find some really cool things in here. It looks quite pretty i have to say"
This track is part adventurous, part mystical. It's inviting you into both the unknown, but also into exploring mode. You are wondering throughout the forest woodland. It's also first in a long time, where i went for a more organic sound. Yes there's synths in this, but they are not the star. Instead we have a Double Bass playing well...the bass and a string ostinato as kind of a rhythmical foundation. The melodies alternate between a piano, a flute and a few lead synths. It's meant to invoke some rather unique and cool colours. Whatever it may be, i really enjoyed this one, and i hope you do too!
