Our family life in the tropics. Lots of music, art, gardening, cooking, traveling, ponderings, and joy. Creating memories, traditions
and hopefully some humor. Trying to give back as well.

another songwriter joins the ranks

Annabel started writing songs last year.  She has been recording them, and here is the first one.  Click on the link below to hear the YouTube.  Annabel made the video herself.  Sky helped her record and also sang backup harmonies.  I am really proud of Annabel.  She is blossoming, in front of my eyes.   

Here are the lyrics.  She is quite a poet.

Annabel Marks, 2012 

Whispers coming from my head as
I can't fall asleep
Sonic waves pulsing through my bed
Shattering the glass

The glass of a door
That leads through somewhere
I went to explore
The silent white noise

I roller-bladed the wind drifts
I sang to the silence
I listened to the invisible sounds
Than I lay down, and finally ascended to sleep

I can communicate best in the dark when everyone is dreaming
By sending silent signals out, only heard when not thinking
dreams and love, are glimpses of imagination when life is not in charge

I burst through the ashes
The only thing left over
I fled from the silence
Now it's all comin' back to me
Songs aren't meant to be screamed
