New Song…

I compose songs. It’s my passion and purest form of personal expression. I will be posting my latest compilations here, but until I get them recorded and/or figure out how to upload them to a webpage of some kind, they will only appear as poems. Right now, I have two songs I really want to record, but until funds are made available, they will remain in my head and on my keyboard. *sigh*

I started to write a certain kind of song, and then it just took a different direction. This song is about the love of God, but it’s subjective. It can be viewed as any kind of love, really. The instrument I used on my keyboard is a bit “etherial”. It’s rather haunting, with the use of primarily minor keys. The beat is simple but resonating – like, “guh-GUH, puh ting ting ting, guh-GUH, puh ting ting ting. That just looks silly, but I’m trying to help you imagine the music. Hope you all like it! Anyway, here it is…comments are extremely welcome and honest constructive critizism is appreciated. =)

 Promise Made to Me

Every night, and every single day, everytime I find myself awake

I feel like I’m drownin’ in treachery.

Surrounded by a world that just can’t cope, living in a place without any hope,

I’m supposed to feel what I don’t see?

Chorus: <But I still believe, in a love I know, a love that reaches inside of me,

and breathes, into my soul, breathes another life into me

It calls me home, out of this tragic misery.

It’s all my own, it’s the promise made to me.>

Out of darkness comes a greater joy, a love that evil can’t destroy.

Through the ages this truth remains.

We can look inside eachothers’ hearts, and find we’re not so far apart.

This power can heal the world of all its pain.

<Chorus>

Bridge:   Shine your light to lead me there

                I want it to stay, just show me the way,

                Shine a light to show me where.
