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.

Djehkäujaa Singing Song Fragment via Snapchat

I did some rough doodles of Djehkäujaa today since the weather got cold (yes it's JULY) and my internet is NOT working correctly!










Here's The Rough sketches:





Then on Snapchat, they have a feature that allows you to superimpose a facial image over your face. SO, I accidentally tapped it, and it automatically put Djehkäujaa there! I actually really liked it, so I did a rendition of her singing the dragon song I wrote for her in my story/film/motion-picture.

 I don't particularly care for my vocal for Djehkäujaa. I think my vocal is more for Lively than her.

Actually, I would prefer a vocal more like the beloved late Melanie Thornton or Melodie Sexton. I also like Rozalla.

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'....

Rough Draft Lyrics/Poetry 
(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..........
