winter song

kind of obsessed with these:

Sphere

on my way to bed...
been fighting off a cold for two weeks now...
got back a few hours ago from northern AZ where we had thanksgiving at my grandparent's...
and started working immediately on this song...

it's still in the works.

Sphere
by Catherine Papworth

Right now I'm picking up the pieces
Somehow I know that it always takes too long
Right now I'm packing my suitcase
full of broken parts and promises

so here I go and I don't know
how we get here
cause all I see is you and me
in the same sphere
so I gotta get gone
I gotta move on
I gotta move on

Right now I'm filling up the silence with my tired mouth
Gotta learn to stand for something more than myself
Cause if I don't leave, then my life's gonna be
stuck on the shelf

so here I go and I don't know
how we get here
but all I need is some room to breathe
til I get there
so I gotta get gone
I gotta move on
I gotta move on
I gotta move on

I wanna be
heading for the sea
I wanna stand with my love in my hand and my feet planted in the sand

Feel my fingers in the air
Love my life and lose all care
on a mission to repair
to find a space in my own sphere
singing

na na na na na na
na na na na na na
na na na na na na

the ancient art of karaoke...

purchasing the karaoke version of a song for my middle school class and wondering how in the world duffy got on there. she must be lost. or she shares a fan base with the ancient japanese art of karao-kay.

water rising

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

I realize this holiday isn't quite as exciting when you're a 24 year old in a desert that's perpetually summer and you don't fancy big drinking parties and an excuse to dress up like a slut...bunny slut...kitty slut...superwoman slut...take your pick. if I were dressing up it would probably be something extremely un-sexy. like a tator-tot or a light bulb...i dont know those were the first two un-sexy things that came to mind.

so much has happened in the last two weeks. It feels like it's been two months! nothing extremely exciting, but a lot of anecdotes to write about. Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to embellish. but i will...soon.

for now i am working on a new song: water rising. it came out of a really depressed moment recently---ha..shocker. it just felt like being stuck with your feet planted on the floor while water is flooding in...trying to stay afloat. trying just to breathe. don't mean to wax poetic here...but that's how it felt. and i opened up Reason and began recording...what, I didn't know. but it was cathartic and here's what I have so far.

the water's rising faster than
i can shovel it with my hands
and i a running against the wind
cold is reaching beneath my skin

the water's rising faster than
i can shovel it with my hands
and i am falling into the cracks
where i'm going i can't come back

so lift me up
above the wind
where the water can't rise again
hold me close
inside your warmth
cause i am small
within your arms
lift me up


once again, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! I hope your nightmarish dreams come true!? I watched the BEST Disney Halloween movie recently--Hocus Pocus...soo good. Bette Midler...amazing. In un-true Halloween fashion, I am going out to sushi tonight--which might be scary for some...but oh so good for me. Hope you have a candy-filled, pumpkin-lit, ghoulishly great night. (check out that illiteration).

peace-
