I wish I could Sing to You.


It's overwhelmingly difficult to be a singer-songwriter with no one to share a song with...with no way of recording and sharing via youtube, myspace, blog...I'm miserable and not being able to share music is difficult enough without the songwriter being in an emotionally crushing situation...every day is a struggle with wondering how to pay our bills, trying to organize and make sense of the chaos, raising a two year old boy, dealing with parents who are selfish and immature...crippled human beings lost in their own minds
...I'm just doing my best to get by. Would it be too much to ask, just to be able to sing it all away for a little while? Apparently, the answer to that is yes.

So I leave here some lyrics...poetry maybe, instead of notes and harmonies...They will have to suffice for now :(

This is my newest song:
TAKING CHANCES (K. Eryn H.)

We speak of souls and steal-trapped doors
But shudder more at what's in store
For bodies, frail, with sinews sore
From taking chances without getting more...

...than solitude and servitude
And several seconds more
To prove the world is round and words are sound
And we're just taking chances

And there's no one left to talk to 
Cause there's no one left here
Who understands that growing up is not just something bodies do.

We speak like we've got something on our minds.
We sever in the middle
Straying but a little.
Vernal love's not second rate
And in the moment lives as fate
But shake it just a little
There's promise in the shiver...

Give me solitude and servitude
And several seconds more
To prove the world is round and words are sound
And we're just taking chances

And there's no one left to talk to 
Cause there's no one left here
Who understands that growing up is not just something bodies do.

Love's not free so please forgive me
I would never be so kind...

And there's no one left to talk to
Cause there's no one left here
Who understands that growing up is not just something bodies do.

Thanks to my marvelous husband who never fails to be the supportive, nurturing, loving, and loyal partner I need. At the risk of being cliche, you are the light in my dark. I only say it because it's true. I love my monster :)

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