I'm gonna reach!
I'm gonna strive!
Will get release! 
Because I'm gonna fly!
I'm gonna fly!

I feel the truth,
of the real me inside!
Let it all out!
I am ready to fly!
I am ready to fly!

Returning back to
the way things ought to be!
I feel my wings!
Returning to me!
I am ready to fly! 

And, I will reach!
Here! As I strive!
Will get release! 
because I'm gonna fly!
I'm gonna fly!

Returning back to
the way things should seem!
I'll leave the rest behind,
Where my tail ought to be!
I feel my wings!
They are returning to me!

Now I shall reach!
Now as I strive!
Will get release!
Because I'm gonna fly!

I am ready to fly!
I am ready to fly!
I am ready to fly! 
I am ready to fly!

Fly......  

NOTES:

* This song is intended for Djehkäujaa. this song is the scene(s) starting BEFORE she gets to the zeppelin. It's a bit of a fake-out. She feels called (sensory feeling) back to the dragons again, and she's also very gifted with singing and music which she's utilized to her advantage among the human world, in her humanoid form. She thinks she's being called back permanently to become her dragon form again and be pardoned from exile.

Also, she feels her wings are going to come back (which they will). But, she has to board the airship to get into the right location.

Actually, by the end of the song, she just arrives at the zeppelin... and boards it... she won't fly until the following song.

It's somewhat funny, because she's been solemn, broody, moody, and EMO up until she thinks she's coming back. So, she gets all animated, chipper, swaggering, and struts throughout the city on foot belting out the song. Like: Bye bitches! I'm free!
(Except she's not actually permanently being called back... it was just to make her return, to check in briefly, only to cast her back, because they're not satisfied with her still... It really smacks her down several more notches emotionally... also, they don't think her exile was long enough for what "crime" they deemed she committed... )


* This song just came to me, today, first in spurts at the gym, then once I took a shower it came even stronger... I waited to long to jot it down and record it, so I had to try and remember it again, and it took a while.

It definitely needs work, I'm NOT a professional musician, composer, or song writer; I only studied classical music as a child (chorus, violin, recorder, and guitar basics). I often regret not doing more with it because I really loved it.

I want this to be a 4/4 beats song, very uptempo, and Hi-NRG Eurodance techno 1990s style. But, I think it kinda came out sounding like a waltz 6/8 beats... sorta...  :-/ Gotta change that...  Like I've said before, I would like her vocals to be something like the late Melanie Thornton, or something similar.

Poem Lyrics: Wind

Wind

Draft Lyrics/Poetry

I.)

I am the wind,
The wind that flows freely,
I am the wind that blows me to you.
I am the wind.


Trees and grasses sway,
Song birds sing and play,

Letting go,
To and Fro,
As leaves in the wind,
I let go.

I submit to the breeze....

Bend me to your will like a reed in the wind,
Now the wind and I are one....

Free....
Just be....

I am the wind.....


*********************

II.) Reprise

It is the wind,
Which has brought me here.
It is the wind,
That blows me to you.

Softly and sweetly,
Boldly and breezy.

I am here now.....

Fertile as the Earth,
Beneath my feet,
Stable as the ground,
And stretching streets.

Flowing like a river,
Vast as oceans and seas,
Rushing like a dam,
That just broke free.

Alive and warm,
As flickering flame,
Etched in my heart,
Is forever your name.

The light within fills my eyes,
And, everything becomes the sky.

We are one with the wind.... 

***************************

I think this piece might actually be for Lively.

It has 2 parts, and could probably have more parts if I decided to write them.

I'm not exactly, nor entirely, sure of how I want this one to go.... It's still vague inside of my mind.

**********************************

The version published on DeviantART is found HERE. 

This one is still another song/lyrics for Djehkäujaa, but it might be inter-cut with Lively. Lively is definitely in this project/story.

This is another simple piece. It's meant to be more music than vocals. the lyrics are a pattern with variations.

I want this one to be 90s Euro trance style but with some strings like guitars and/or dulcimers or zithers, but very strong synthesizers with ambient and melody parts. It will mostly be down tempo, but still a 4/4 beat is very likely. A lot of reverberation and echoing. It will have a slow intro, and tempo changes in different parts... I want to have a balance of bass or notes lower on the scale, with higher pitch as well.

I am not sure whether I want the vocals to be male or female, but I do not want a deep voice for it.

Poem Lyrics: I Take It Higher

Draft Lyrics/Poetry

Gotta reach!

A little further!

Gonna reach!

A little farther!

For myself,

Make a conscious choice!

Come on! 

Make some noise!

Jump-jump!
I jump some more!
Jump-jump! 
Jump off the floor! 

A little higher!
Gonna make it! 
A little higher! 
Time to soar! 

I take it higher!
I make it higher!

*********

Go forth! 
A little Further! 
Reach forth! 
A little farther! 

For myself,
Spun it 'round! 
Come on!
A glorious sound! 

Jump-jump!
I jumped some more! 
Jump-jump! 
Launched off the floor! 

A little higher! 
Gonna make it! 
A little higher!
And now I soar! 

I take it higher!
I made it higher!

It's also published here on DeviantART.


This one is meant to be more percussion/rhythm based. 
I'm not entirely positive about what I want to do with it... but, I have some ideas...

This one is also for my character Djehkäujaa, but probably in her original dragon form. very highly likely as her original dragon form.

The first time........... (echoes)
               -though these eyes......... (echoes)
                                 I ever witnessed this place........ (echoes)

The first time........... (echoes)
               -through these eyes........ (echoes)
                                 I ever saw this face............ (echoes)

The first time........... (echoes)
               -through these eyes.......... (echoes)
                                 Ever seeing this place.......... (echoes)

The first time........... (echoes)
               -through these eyes.......... (echoes)
                                Ever seeing your face........... (echoes)


Your face........ (echoes)
                     The first time........ (echoes)
                                        The first time......... (echoes)

My face........... (echoes)
                ...........The first time......... (echoes)

You can also find this poem/lyrics published to my DeviantART gallery.

Well, these lyrics here would probably not make much sense without the visuals. the emphasis is on the "FACE". "Face" its self has a lot of meaning.... but, also this is another song for Djehkäujaa, my dragon character but this is when she unfortunately becomes a humanoid form, much to her horror, and her own stupidity & comeuppance that she will regret for the rest of her life.

This song is meant to be Djehkäujaa's voice, but she will not be actually lip-sync singing this one. It will be like a voice-over, but as a song.

The lyrics are just a simple pattern with variation and reverb, to be to-the-point simple yet effective.

It is almost "garage house" sounding with a lot of echo & reverberations.

It will mostly rely on conveying the mood by some echoing piano and layered repercussions, as well as some sound effects, bass, perhaps wobble bass. I'm not sure if I will use a 2-step beat or not. Altho' I want this to be a very heavily European sounding style, I also want some eastern vibes/elements to it also...

Think of it this way: imagine she is in a desolate wide open prairie or savannah landscape, I was thinking more like the planes in Mongolia... but, my story will be an entirely other world. And, Djehkäujaa is literally grounded. No more flying. Her wings fall off, and burn away like acid and steaming clouds of fumes.

And, she looks at her own face, not the face knew herself to be...
A different face. Shock, despair, trauma...

That's what this is....

Poem Lyrics: Free Flying Heart (working title)

This month was crazy, and sometimes I kept questioning whether I also might be going crazy...

I have a lot of my creative stuff forcefully coming out of me. It was pretty difficult at times. But, hey, the world is insane... and I guess I'm "doing crazy things" like making art, music, and poetry.... scandalous, right?

The main bulk of stuff spewing out of me is orbiting and flowing from my old screenplay I wrote in 1999, and conceptualized starting in 1997-1998 as a teenager.

I stopped trying to fight this intense bout of either creative inspiration, or utter madness of loosing my mind...

I tore up my house looking for old storyboards and portfolios, as well as stacks of music and CDs, and various other things to make it stop affecting me.

At 1 point I felt myself going mad and weeping because I felt so terrible. Society put this "little thing" inside of my mind to tell me I should be ashamed and embarrassed about these things.... But, then I looked around at Society and saw death, malice, destruction, greed, hubris, strife, unrest, and realized society was COMPLETELY INSANE.

Screw Society... I'm not trying to maim, torture, kill, celebrate guns & bombs and wars, and hurt or destroy the planet and fellow human beings...

So, I think I'll do my "crazy stuff" of art instead.
Me, and my "stupid dreams".


I knew what I wanted for this scene, but I didn't know what song quite fit it, and I also didn;t want to use someone else's song.... and, then, I couldn't stop fighting it, and I also didn't want to cry anymore... then, my hands grabbed my notebook, and a pen, and words started coming out as I could faintly here fragments of flowing music inside of my mind....

After I did that, I felt much better....

Then, before I knew it, I'd written for sets of lyrics...

This was the first one.

I'm not so keen on the title tho'.
It's just a rough draft, concept, work...

I'm pathetically ignorant about composing music... :(

Anyways, I've published it to Deviant Art, and also to my other art blog.

This song is supposed to be for my character Djehkäujaa , the dragon as a humanoid form, while on the deck of the pleasure cruse zeppelin. 

I have a few different versions of it in my mind.

But, I might also want a 2nd small song for this part,because I want to convey/express 1 mood, then a change, and I think 2 different songs would be better...

I want this entire part to be electronic, but with dubbing, and 4/4 beats. I would also like it to build up to the final part... which ends on a more somber tone, and you can see this poem/song/lyrics has 2 different parts/segments. But, these 2 segments are 1 composition.

It's not set in stone, yet, tho'....

(Also on DeviantArt)


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..........
