Green Sea-sun

As promised, here's the first Sunday update! (and you thought it would be next Sunday right? no way! it's NOW)

This is a seven-minute epic of a song. I started working on it about 2 years ago, so it has been through a lot. So, kick your shoes off, put some headphones on (highly recommended), and please enjoy:

Green Seasun



Lyrics:

While the leaves were falling, red and gold,
You were calling on the phone.
Where did I go?
I was sinking into the beach.
Staring out at the ocean,
Just out of reach.
The surface reflects my emotion.

Calm and cold
Calm and cold

Now that it’s spring
Everything’s growing.
New leaves are green.
Lawns need mowing.
And just like the sea
We keep coming and going,
Waving and waving,
But never knowing why

We will become
Calm and cold
Just like the sea we’ll grow
Blue and old
Calm and cold
Blue and old

So while our blood is red and warm,
Sunlight’s gold before the storm.
While the flood is kept at bay,
Sniff the air before the rain.
While our love is fresh champagne,
Sip it slowly bubbles away.

Drizzles tickles drizzles tickles

Everything is pleasing in this season.
Everyone is singing in this season.
Everything is greener in this season.
Everything is pleasing in this season.

While our blood is red and warm,
Sunlight’s gold before the storm.
While the flood is kept at bay,
Smell the air before the rain.
While our love is fresh champagne,
Sip it slowly bubbles away.

Everything is pleasing in this sea.
Everything is pleasing in this sun.
Everything is pleasing in this
Green
Sea
Sun

Hope your ears are happier now. If you're curious, the only instruments in this song are vocals, acoustic guitar and a harmonica, recorded with Apple Garageband. (So that synth-y sound is just effected harm.) I wish the quality could have been a bit better, since I'm stuck using my damn internal mic; but someday I'll be able to afford a decent mic and USB input.
