When....

....i finally get my garage cleaned out....
...when i finally get my music equipment set up...
...when i finally perfect playing some of my new songs that i'm very proud of....
...when i finally record them into video...
...when i finally post them on you tube...

....I WILL POST THEM IN MY BLOG TO CORRESPOND WITH THE LYRICS. that way,  you're not just reading meaningless words. the music itself is the soul afterall. and it's the way the words are presented that make them meaningful. so i'm waiting and working in anticipation of those moments. 

i have so many aspirations and unknowns seemingly in my way of them. however, of late i have been wondering what sense is in waiting for unknowns to correct themselves and make up their own minds...? hmmm... well probably not much sense. so as it stands, i myself am standing on a precipice of uncertainty with my hand steady and my heart in one piece being comfortable with not knowing what's next. i can do it. i think i am confident now in myself personally and also in myself musically as an artist to finally go it alone - have my own vision, set my own goals, complete my own projects and know that i can accomplish anything i set my mind to. i have learned much from more than one talented musician and these are the experiences i needed to get me to where i am today - The Precipice. anyone who wants to take a leap of faith, take a chance, trust in themselves for once, take a step despite fear, and overlook the beauty that is the wild unknown territories of hard work and possibly the fulfillment of all their dreams...come join me here. i'll put a welcome sign on the door. i'll be the one with the guitar.

A Curse

Lyrics and music by: Kori Eryn
written on October 23, 2008

curse these past lives i've lived in this same body
because i can't live them down...

let's see if this will bring closure
because time alone won't change my mind...

let's play pretend for just a quick moment
to see where life would take us
and if our hearts would break us like this....

what do you have to say for yourself?
am i alone when i say we failed?
old habits die hard...
can we be friends if i say i'm gone?
i wish that you had something to say?
'cause old habits die hard....

so...let's play pretend for just a quick moment
to see where life would take us
and if our hearts would break us like this....
oh, oh, oh, i don't know...
where life would take us and if our hearts would break us like this

find me here bracing for the impact
you are this runaway train that i never jumped off of

so...let's play pretend for just a quick moment
to see where life would take us
and if our hearts would break us like this...

if i made a movie

lyrics and music by Kori Eryn:
written october 22, 2008

if i made a movie they wouldn't talk
they wouldn't know where to begin
but haunting like a memory - the soundtrack would roll.

everyone says they know best
but i know better than myself
'cause when i say it, i switch out the "best" for "nothing".

i know that when i say it is wrong - it's not always wrong
i know that when i say it is right - it's not always right
....pushed aside.....

in my movie - there would be no script
you would hear them cry through violins.
and i wonder why things are the way they've been...
you could have told me all along that i was dumb
i took my anger out on the ones i love
i can be so blind

all i have up in the air....
silly...darling...who'm i kidding?
i would wait for indecision to take me away
silly...darling...who would listen?
i've got rug burn on both my knees
from two separate scenes....

was it him or was it you who took me and let me stay?....

Here I Am

Life without music is like a movie without a soundtrack. Without one another, neither would be complete.
