Song of the day

Pelgris3 Comments

I went looking for a song for the day, but nothing quite struck the right chord. I’m hopeful but tentative. I’m sure of my heart and desires but unsure about how those are perceived. I want to ask questions but am fearful of what those answers may be. I also was looking for something to uplift a give hope. I also think I’m seeing something but I’ve been wrong before and I don’t want to be wrong about this.

I almost picked Bastille – Flaws, because it speaks to our flaws but it also says that there is a hole in my soul, so close but not right. Maybe you have the right song? Tell me what song you like for the day.

New Song for the Day

For my friend Em, May we find ourselves under unfamiliar skies. Sometimes rain is happiness, sometimes what we are looking for we’ve already found.

Yes…This is a happy song.

Brighid’s Eyes

This is the recording of the song Brighid’s Eyes.  It is the song that got me into songwriting and really started me back on the path of writing Poetry. This is only the vocals.  The Backing is written for a bassist with space for another instrument but I haven’t been able to coordinate with my bassist to record it.  To be fair she is in 2 other bands one of which is getting a bit popular locally.

Anyway this is the Song:

Songs written and no longer sung

I’ll give you my song, a poem
Sung in minor keys, whiskey stained
A tenor damaged, broken baritone
A past that creeps in, triumphantly hopeful
Fae dances in moonlight, broken masks
Screaming pain to the crowd, shattered pieces
Music in the night blooming flower, beautiful despite
The strands of hopes ending, strength subsided
