I wrote a very cryptic anti-war sone a few years ago. I just put it to pictures that might make it a little less cryptic. Let me know what you think. Please.

1. Very nice - haunting. You should post the lyrics, though.

3. Lyrics:
Thanks so much!

Note: The lyrics are cryptic. I'm reluctant to explain, but I will if anyone is interested. I don't want my own intentions to interfere with anyone's natural interpretation. Removing my own intentions and allowing meaning to be revealed is kind of central to my writing style. I know that might sound kind of weird.

One and one
A dark room
That you should
You have shown
Hereafter
The paper
The same year
Was not far
The poor dear
A good time
Bow or breadth
Among sons
I’ll let it go, if you crawl
All of the sea foam, wasted
And daughters
The nurses
Defeated
And a friend
Contracted
She managed
No longer another
One and one
A dark room
That you should
You have shown
I’ll let go, if you crawl
All of the sea foam, wasted.

5. Wow, rbnyc!
That was really captivating!

The mood and tone were mellow but intense at the same time.

The pictures really rounded out the whole piece.

Your voice is really nice.

I hope you keep posting your songs.

Cheers.

:hi:

6. Thanks so much.
Most of my songs are more personal than political so they will end up in the lounge, but now that I finally figured out how to make and upload a simple video, you can count on a lot of somgs shared on DU.

Thanks agin. This makes me so happy.

18. Hmmm...
...I'm sorry about your mom, but that's almost like asking why do we need art programs in schools.

17. Beautiful!
You have a beautiful voice!

The part, "I'll let it go...", is especially pretty.

19. Thank you.
I know it's very cryptic...not that kind of anti-war song that would get everyone going at a rally. But that's the way I wrote and I really want to share. Thanks so much for listening.
