Clouds.

lyrics

I never learned to listen to the clouds
For what I need to know
So now I try, but they're not speaking loud
Enough for me to show
I care. Correct me if I'm wrong
But didn't someone already write a song
About the clouds? I'm listening.

Isn't that someone I used know
Looking down at me?
Next to them, a ship appears to be
Heading out to sea.
I know it isn't really there.
But that's the point of writing a song
About the clouds. Can you hear it?

Was I on the ground, or did I dream it all?
It could have been a dream.
Or one of those times when you witness you're alive.
Nothing is as it seems.
I know it isn't really fair.
There's something honest about knowing I'm wrong.
That's why I care that we're here at all.

You could have left me on the ground.
Instead, you picked me up.
Now we're wandering through the clouds.
I can't believe it.
There's nothing left to do but fly.
Fly towards the sun.
Perfect in the sky.
Love this state of mind.

I make short songs for doing dishes or walking the dog or riding the bus. Sometimes it sounds like the smell of the ground after it rains in autumn. Sometimes it sounds like a long summer drive with the windows down.

Sometimes I make music for film/TV/games/radio. Sometimes I make music for patrons.

Most of the time I'm drinking coffee. ... more
