Ok – so the songs I am sending out to you are about to get a little more dicey: recorded live at rehearsals, live in performance, or “quick dash on an iPhone.” But I promised you raw and as they are…. so here they come!
I seem to have a lot of songs about flying. I’d love to put together an album of them. If I did so, this would be the first song: So Far To Fly.
So Far To Fly was recorded at a rehearsal in Port Moody with Masa Ichigo on guitar. I hope you like it!
Please remember that we are still raising funds for my therapy expenses. We are almost halfway to our goal! If you haven’t been to the campaign yet, please have a look. Here it is. My recovery is going well AND I have a long ways to go still toward my goal. We deeply appreciate your support!
I’m enjoying putting my original songs up on Soundcloud. You can go here to hear them all anytime!
I see now – what I didn’t see before,
You were just like me, you wanted more.
I feel now – what I couldn’t feel before,
You were all alone, you thought
That’s the way it should be.
Chorus: Well we looked so high on each other
There was so far to fly, so far to fall
And we tried not to cry, to each other (tried to be strong)
There was so far to fly, so far to fall
I hear now – the voice I didn’t hear before,
It was my own voice – and it was yours.
Sayin’: “I love you. Won’t you come into my arms?
There is nothin’ left to prove, and nothin’ to lose.”
Repeat Chorus
I taste now – the tears I didn’t taste before,
Fallin’ from the sky – I’m on my way home.
Leavin’ my fear – you’d still see me as a child,
Everybody needs a mother
Well we looked so high on each other
There was so far to fly, so far to fall
And we tried not to cry, to each other (tried to be strong)
There was so far to fly ——————–
I see now who you really are
Don’t be afraid ———
No one will ever take your place in my heart.
Watch me perform So Far To Fly LIVE at a house concert in 2010, accompanied by Nathen Aswell on NS Stick. Fun!
