Song for Newvember 27th

Here's a little fragment of something or other- I guess its about Icarus. Perhaps one day I can expand on it with verses or something and it will have some deep metaphorical meaning.



You're waiting for your dreams to come true
With wings made of feathers and glue
Don't fly to close to the sun, little one

Song for Newvember 26th

Had a marvelous weekend: crocheting at a coffee shop, family walk, church, more church, brunch, "multiply movement" (a video of church) and prayer, thanksgiving dinner, more church.  Its a good thing we like church :)


"We like church"

We like to be with the people of God
Living together
Praising the Father
We like to be with the people of God
Pray for eachother
Sisters and brothers
We like to be with the people of God
We like to be with the people of God

Oh, If times are hard for you
Oh, we can share your burdens too
Oh, If we are out of line
Oh, You can help us toe the line

We like to be with the people of God
I wish everyday was church everyday
We like to be with the people of God
Sometimes we're late, but we're the last ones to leave cause
We like to be with the people of God
We like to be with the people of God

Song for Newvember 23rd

Today's song is about tomorrow. We love Saturdays because it is our Sabbath day, which to us means that we just try and spend it a little differently than the other 6 days in the week. Sometimes I try and make my house really clean on Friday so that I can really enjoy my day off. That didn't really happen today, but I wrote a song about it anyways because its a nice concept.
The lyrics are pretty rough- I just went for all the obvious rhymes..

"Saturday Song"

Wash the dishes, do your chores, pick up all the toys on the floor
Tomorrow is coming soon

Throw your dirty napkins in the overflowing laundry bin
Tomorrow is coming soon

I know its getting late and you are tired from your day
But you can work a little more because tomorrow's Saturday

Little baby close your eyes, listen to my lullabies of tomorrow, our favorite day

There's so much that we can do: fly a kite or go to the zoo
Tomorrow, on Saturday

Song for Newvember 22nd

A morning (or evening) prayer. I feel like this could use a chorus of some sort, I'll get around to it eventually..

Song for Newvember 19th

We started a song yesterday but I'm afraid I forgot all about it until the middle of the night. I'll finish it and maybe double up one of these days.
Today's song is a setting of a poem by our talented friend Hayden Waring. He's the guy you can't see in the video who does all the whispery echoes.
