Here

HERE

So I’ve come to better days
As if I stumbled down that way
From some interstitial state
To a comfort I can claim
Yeah, I’ve reached a safer sound
Where the words are more pronounced
And I’m vanquishing this doubt
Of what’s searched for can’t be found

But for all I’ve attained
For all I’ve salvaged
For all I’ve come to hold dear
I still wish you well
I still wish that you were here

So I’m thinking more complete
As if my words were currency
Spent on choice commodities
Like affections and relief
And these people, I presume
More than fill this dim-lit room
They assure me that it’s true:
I am headed somewhere soon

But for all I’ve attained
For all I’ve salvaged
For all I’ve come to hold dear
I still wish you well
I still wish that you were here

So I’m slowly making peace
With the hand that brought me these
Momentary blissful feasts
Coupled with uncertainties
And the moment I accept
That it’s better I forget
Than to force this argument
Then there’s prospect for me yet

But for all I’ve attained
For all I’ve salvaged
For all I’ve come to hold dear
I still wish you well
I still wish that you were here

There’s no getting over you, is there?
There’s no getting over you, is there?
There’s no getting over you, is there?

mp3: Your light, second movement

here’s a little sample for ya. it’s the second movement to a 2-movement piece i call “Your Light”. the first movement is a slow, free piano-and-vox worship part, of which i’m still working on.

the second part is this little math-rock ditty with (hopefully) a full band. it’s a little experiment i did to see if i could use the 7/8 time in a straight feel, without being all jumpy & accent-filled. the two movements share the same chord structure, which is 6 – 4 – 1 – 4 in F. i hope to add a little bit more exploration with the second piece as well.
