Happy Fall!
If you are new to my email list, welcome! This email list is called “Song In Your Inbox.” For those of you who don’t know, my current goal is to catalogue 300 original songs on Soundcloud, and to send them out to you as I go. I hope you enjoy! There are 16 songs up now. You can go and listen here to my Soundcloud song collection. 🙂
People have been telling me that heartbreak is the making of some of the best poetry and music. Our hearts are so raw, the feelings are so vivid. Have you experienced this?
My Song in Your Inbox for you this week is a song that I wrote about the last relationship transition I was in, before the longterm marriage I entered with Reuben.
It’s impossible to make sense of romantic love, yes? The beginnings and endings. The stories we tell to try to justify, to heal, to move on. At this last juncture I was asking: was our love so black and white? Seagull and a Crow is about the mystery of love. Plans change, people change, nothing stays the same. Listen to song here.
What in your life is your constant? For me, it is music. Music is a deeply healing balm, something that exists inside my soul, the ground of my being, something I can always turn to. I hope you have this in your life too.
A Prayer for you:
At this equalizing of the day and night, this seasonal shift, may you feel your alignment, may you stumble upon delightful surprises, anchor in new pathways, and continue to grow in ever-increasing love and light!
Much love and another song soon,
Here are the lyrics:
Seagull and a Crow
Seagull and a crow, moon below
Windcapped waves in the fading light
Whisper questions – was our love so black and white?
Were you planning to follow me
Or just trying to set me free
‘Cause you could not find the wings to fly
Suddenly – too much to leave behind
Plan change and love fades
Nothing stays the same
I’m walking the edge again where the sea meets the sky
Where the dark meets the light
Ten years passed and you got on the plane
Now you’re here for a few days
And I have a glimpse of the ways you have changed
You’re like a light, burning low
Tarnished and tainted by restless shadows
Plan change and love fades
Nothing stays the same
I’m walking the edge again where the sea meets the sky
Where the dark meets the light
Where is the picture of your true love?
Is that her smiling, holding your son?
There you are in the garden
So what are you hiding from?
Seagull and a crow, moon below
Windcapped waves in the fading light
Whisper questions – was our love so black and white?
