Here’s a recording of my song “Longing Wood”. I hope you enjoy it!
I’m calling this the “creative journal version”, since I could make a recording with better audio quality, but somehow it’s not happening. So I prefer to share my song with you like this, to not sharing at all…
I was making myself crazy, trying to record with several microphones and a pickup and trying to get the audio quality right… but my guitar didn’t play along (made noises) and finally it all got too much and I blocked myself. So now I’m back at technical simplicity: one mic and that’s that… has to be good enough for now. 😉
Love,
Sean
Lyrics
Love – I don’t know which turn to take,
when all my signposts (are) ‘ve been bent by the winds of…
Fate – and the road – twists and curls,
mocking my plans full of arrows and lines…
Too straight to move and too tight to breathe, but tonight we’ll set
fire to these warning-signs
telling us not to go astray,
but stay far far away from love’s uncertain journey
Don’t we need to know? – No we don’t need to know.
Just put another log in the fire of our love
We don’t need to know – where this path may go
If we travel through the night by our heart-fire’s light
We don’t need to know – to feel the need to grow … so …
Light – and warm, our waypost fire’s flames,
eat up the logs of yesteryear’s tree
They burn the written and turn it crackling into something new
Something billowing, something true
Clouds of smoke never smelled so good
We’re burning hearts of longing wood
We don’t need to know – what these clouds may show
Just throw another log in the fire of our love
We don’t need to know – where this journey goes
If we travel through the night by our heart-fire’s light
We don’t need to know – to feel the need to grow – so… so…
Long – cold winter breezemakes flakes of ash
dance and curl in the early morning dew
They settle down in the dying glow of this love light
we kept burning as long as we could
But day break puts it out for good
Our fears rain down and soak our logs of longing wood
Don’t we need to know? – No we don’t need to know
Just throw another log in the furnace of our love
We don’t need to know – where this path may go
If we travel through the night by our heart-fire’s light
We don’t need to know and we don’t need to see,
For we carved our passion ship from the bark of the longing tree
And we’ll navigate love’s sea by the spark of tiny shooting stars
flying up from glowing hearts – carved of longing wood
Clouds of smoke never smelled so good
we’re burning hearts of longing wood
throw another log in the fire of our love, baby
’cause I’m burning for you
