Free Flying Heart (working title)

Rough Draft Lyrics/Poetry 





I dreamed I was the wind,

And a Part of the sky,

And then when I awoke,

Remembered I once could fly.



What do I do?

What have I done?

Foolish and selfish mistakes!

Careless and empty! -thinking it's fun!



I am the obstacle of myself,

Find a way to overcome me!

Somehow I can reach it,

My heart wants to finally fly free!



I miss you,

All free in the sky.

I miss me,

That part of me longs to reach up high!



I've been stuck being down,

Solve this puzzle somehow!

And untangle my wings to fly back up!










****



Feet un-grounding, and leaving the floor,

Good-bye to the underworld!

Wind one with me, I'll start to let go!

Now I feel my wings unfurl!



Let me stay forever among you!

Forever the clouds and sky!

Keep me always with you!

Never let us say good-bye!







Good-bye...... (echoes)

               ........good-bye..... (echoes)

                                      ..........good-bye....... (echoes)



                                                 Bye-bye-bye-bye.............. (echoes)



When will I be ready?

When will I be done?

When will it be finished?

               All I can do for now is observe you all.

               Fly away,

               Into the setting sun..........










I'm not really sure what to title it. The title I have now is just the working title.

So... either I'm completely and totally LOOSING MY FRIGGIN' MIND, or I'm going through some kind of major inspirational existential episode.
But, I can't fight it anymore... so, the music and the words want to come out...
If it's madness... I don't care anymore, because I need peace of mind....

Not to ever liken myself to Lewis Carroll, but was he a madman?
It's as though I've passed through the looking glass of the psyche.... and the nonsense became clever, and had meaning....


None of this is actually obscure though...

What is this?
Well, I'd started a project at the end of my teenage-hood since about 1997 or so, that was about dragons, and some of my own original characters, and even drafted a screenplay for it in college from 1999-2001.

Part of that story/project involves music...
I knew what I wanted for the piece/segment... but I didn't want to use someone else's music, just my own, and my own words that were cogent specifically to my project/story/film.

Despite several delays in my life, and getting nowhere the art and the music is STILL stuck inside of me... and it's erupting out of me now...
Perhaps it's madness... or perhaps its inspiration... or perhaps it's nothing at all, and may go nowhere... either way doesn't matter to me anymore...
Lewis Carroll wrote whole books of nonsense, but they were VERY GOOD.

So, that's what this is.

these are the lyrics to the song one of the characters sings....
It's more of a 2nd draft, and the title is probably not the final title...
But, at least it is in the direction that my feelings and thought on it are flowing...
I've written it out in a poetry form... it just seemed appropriate....

I realize I'm pathetically under-qualified to write music, or lyrics, and and almost entirely ignorant of musical composition processes, let alone how to create a master, an arrangement, and don't even own a condenser microphone... :(

But, at least I could scribble out the concept... humble as it may be...
Or, for that matter... I might just be going mad...
