Love Is Gonna Save Me Now
I’m going with the flow
And love is gonna save me
I’ve got nothing else to lean on
Just myself to embrace me now
Love is gonna save me now
I’m looking at the low
While feeling high takes me
To another world where I don’t feel
Like I must be coming down
Love is gonna save me now
Nothing has to happen
In no particular way
So in a casual way
I surrender now
Let the love take me
In its river i’ll sway
And in a casual way
I surrender now
I need to take a step
Into the empty air below me
No way back
I gotta trust that when I do
My feet will touch the ground
Love is gonna save me now
I’m looking at the low
While feeling high takes me
To another world where I don’t feel
Like I must be coming down
Love is gonna save me now
There’s no sense in worrying
It won’t take me nowhere
So in a casual way
I surrender now
Let the love take me
In its river i’ll sway
And in a casual way
I surrender now
I don’t need no reasons
‘Cause love’s not a treason
This life is for living
This life is for giving
Don’t wanna wait to live
Until i die
I need to take a step
Into the empty air below me
No way back I gotta trust
That when I do
My feet will touch the ground
Love is gonna save me now

Under The Scorching Sun
Tell me babe
what is on your mind
Confusion, delusion, illusion
In this too fast a life
Tell me babe what is going on
Did you get the feeling
That you’ve seen it all?
We all look for reasons where there’re none to be found
In our momentary highs
That bring our lows about
We can’t stop searching
We’ve been too long
too blind
And I just opened up my eyes
Under the scorching sun
Out in the desert…
Tell me babe
Are you feeling cold
Out there under the scorching sun?
‘Cause I can see right through you
And I can breathe right through you
And I know
What you’re talking about
We all look for reasons where there’re none
to be found
In our momentary highs
That bring our lows about
We can’t stop searching
We’ve been too long
too blind
And I just opened up my eyes

No, this is not the Justin Bieber cover :) I wrote this song after a long period of living a pretty unhappy life - not knowing different, really. It's only when I realized how much inner self-criticism was going on in my head, that I started to change. Hope you're doing better than me ;)
So enjoy and
LOVE YOURSELF
Look at me rising, slowly rising
Lifting my soul off the ground
were you ever dreaming of becoming
No one else but who you truly are
One day I’ll find the love I’ve lost
‘Cause I wasn’t wise
One day I’ll understand
That to be loved
You gotta love yourself
One day I’ll come around
I can see it now
And I’m learning how
To live and not just understand
That to be loved
You gotta love yourself
The clouds are clearing
Lifting weary moods all around
And the sky is ever so blue
I’ve left the blues all behind
One day I’ll find the love I’ve lost
‘Cause I wasn’t wise
One day I’ll understand
That to be loved
You gotta love yourself
One day I’ll come around
I can see it now
And I’m learning how
To live and not just understand
That to be loved
You gotta love yourself

Since spring is in the air and I figured I'd get us into the mood by sharing "Sunshine" from my debut album. It was a short-lived love affair with a Dutch guy whose eyes looked like mine... Really! We both agreed on it :)
I still think of him sometimes, and no my heart is not heavy at all when I do that... Hello sunshine, wherever you are ;)
P.S. For some reason, I think of Marvin Gaye when I listen to this song...
SUNSHINE
“Hello sunshine”, you said to me
“You’re my sunshine”
And I’ll shine just for you
I’ll shine all day baby
I’ll count the days
Until I see you again
‘Cause oh sunshine
You made my day
And I’ll shine all night and all day
No one ever wrote a song for you so I will
No one ever sang a song for you so I will
‘Cause I feel baby
Things I haven’t felt for so long
And now they’re back
May this warmth in my heart last for long
And may it melt with yours
When I looked into your eyes
I felt like I was seeing mine
Oh sunshine it felt so good
I thought it would last
Though you’re gone I know you know
I got no heavy heart for you
‘Cause Sunshine I know your troubles
Took a heavy toll on you
No one ever wrote a song for you so I will
No one ever sang a song for you so I will
‘Cause I feel baby
Things I haven’t felt for so long
And now they’re back
May this warmth in my heart last for long
And may it melt with yours

A song inspired by my friend's experience... You know that relationship which is a patch for the hole in your heart after you break up and you find a quick substitute ... except for that substitute, you mean so much more than the substitute means to you...
Lifetime Lover
On the way to nowhere
With your hand in mine
Sitting in the car, driving downtown
You said 'Let's have a word’
There's things that I can hide no more
The past won't let me go
Believe me I've tried hard.’
Over the past few months
I've sensed this is no paradise
I was a patch for the hole in your heart
Seems like the time has stopped
With red lights cutting through the dark
And rain and tears touch me
As you scream behind
“I don't wanna break your heart
But there's another
She's been with me since the cradle
My lifetime lover,
The nights are long and I've been longing
To be back in the arms
That are still waiting for me.'
So you expect me now
To smile and hide the pain that kills
Well, I might just do it
And love will take me right through it
And when you're happy
Think of our good times, up times,
All the thrills
And when you're sad just know
That's how I feel today
‘Cause I don’t wanna wait in vain
if there's another
She's been with you since the cradle
your lifetime lover
The nights are long and I've been longing
To be in the arms
That will be waiting for me

Make sure to listen till the end to hear the virtuoso violin player Renaud Crols! It's worth it!
Lyrics:
HOME
You are my home
But you do not see
I have hurt your fantasy
But I’m not mean
I have found you
But you do not care
I’ve been to the other side where
I believed it couldn’t be wrong
I had folded these wings
They used to shiver
I found you
But you do not see
I went home and you crept under my skin
You are my home
And maybe someday
I’ll tell you real stories
If I may unveil this
‘Cause lately
The secret has lost its meaning and baby
I believe that this can’t be wrong
I unfolded these wings
That shivered
I found you
But you do not see
I went home
And you’ve crept under my skin
Chorus:
Hey you’ve been turning ‘round my head
‘round and ‘round
And now I can’t see straight
Hey you’ve been turning round my eyes
Around and ‘round
And now I’m mesmerized
Hey you’ve been turning ‘round
My head, my head ‘round and ‘round
Hey you’ve been turning round my eyes
Around and ‘round
And now I’m mesmerized
You are my home
And I’ve left
To go around the world
Just to come back
To see you, to feel you’ve soaked into me
But I can’t steal you
I believe that this can’t be wrong
I’ve unfolded these wings that shivered
I have found you
But you do not see
I went home
And you crept under my skin
Chorus

Most songs from my debut album "The Other Side" reflect the emotional struggle I was going through at the time. I had experienced a painful break up and I was facing the pain created by my ego's attachment to how things should be, to what I believed was supposed to have happened rather than what actually happened. I didn't want to feel anger and hatred and envy and bitterness when I thought of my ex, but the truth is, I did. And all those feelings were rooted in my beliefs (as they always are).
It took me 6,5 years of feeling bitter, scared to open up to love, distrustful of men and relationships... until I fell back into his arms and melted the anger in my heart with forgiveness. As I've learned, forgiveness has nothing to do with condoning something that we believe to be wrong or unjust. It's simply a recognition that everyone does their best from wherever they are in the moment. Years later, I was able to reflect on my behavior from a perspective that I had not seen back then.
Based on my current spiritual understanding, I no longer believe that anyone can hurt me. Pain comes from unfulfilled expectations, from arguing with or resisting what is. And managing my expectations, resistance to or acceptance of what is is my job. And as a result, hurting myself by can only be my job. I will be sharing more musings on this in the near future and how it is affecting my songwriting. So stay tuned ~~~ and enjoy!
LESSONS TO BE HUMAN
Bitterness is the taste
That settles in my mouth
When I think of you
Bitter are all the people
Walking angry with their bear dreams
Through their blues
It’s this fight I face
Between my ego and myself
It’s the fight we loose
When pride’s the one we choose
|: We all have to learn our lessons to be human :|
|: We all have to learn our lessons to be human :|
We all gotta fall, we all gotta fall
But we can get up
When you’ve lied so many times
You started believing your own lies
It’s nothing but your own demise
‘Cause there’s no way around
What you left behind
Bleeding but alive
Hello new dawning
It’s time to move on
You’ve been calling
For so long
Wake up to another morning
Another life
And I’m learning
Where I went wrong
It’s this fight I face
Between my ego and myself
It’s the fight we loose
When pride’s the one we choose
|: We all have to learn our lessons to be human :|
|: We all have to learn our lessons to be human :|
We all gotta fall, we all gotta fall
But we can get up
