I don’t know where I’d be If you weren’t always beside me I don’t know where I’d go If I couldn’t find you when I needed… ’cause there’s been some times In my really very short life Where I was flying blind But I had you there to guide me I don’t know where I’d…

Greta Van Fleet
Give it to the sky Do it because you can Either you need it or you don’t. And no one else may ever cheer for you So don’t hesitate to Give it to the mountains Do it because you’re good at it Either you believe it or you don’t. And no one else may ever…
Thunder Valley Casino
So shy in public but a rock god at home Crunching numbers in the office but singing show tunes alone And you may not be able to tell on the surface Clothes and smiles hide things But what entertains you when no one judges Is closer to who you really are than what I outwardly…
Karaoke Night
And all the songs sound the same in that they all start off as broken dreams They all start off as underestimating me They all start off with a slow long vibrato Making you feel me when you don’t even want to And then comes the hook, the hook is the best Even if you…

Philophiliac

Thank you, Mr. Nelson
You made it okay for me to slip out of stereotypes. Play something sir, play anything. Madonna thanks you. You made it okay for me to stand out and stand alone if necessary. You were special. Turn tunes into time portals, sing anything. Susanna Hoffs thanks you. You made it okay for me to defy…
Aria
If my dream had been melody instead of poetry… Another path on the page of creativity- singing for mercy instead of writing Very only on, for right or for wrong my vibration wrapped in a cadence of song no scrambled letters just mixed up tones I’d be exactly the same but more sins to atone…
