Song #1: Witness

We all want to be seen. A woman, especially, wants to be noticed, known, understood. This is ultimately the purpose of a relationship: to co-create life; to partake in life's depth of experiences with another. As Christopher McCandless said in Into the Wild:

LYRICS:

there will be times
times when you cry
when find yourself alone in the night

there will be days
when your beautiful smile
will light up the night sky like a fire

there will be days
with all you hold inside
you'll long for a man      
to come along your side
and that's where you'll find me
I want to be the witness to your life

when that old movie makes you laugh
when you can't believe what you've just seen
when you have a dream that no else believes in

when your heart, it takes a hit
when you just don't give a shit
when you look at your life wonder, "Is this it?"

there will be days
with all you hold inside
you'll long for a man      
to come along your side
and that's where you'll find me
I want to be the witness to your life

you are seen
you are noticed by me
you are lovely

when you slide on that dress
and fix your hair just right
when you spend all that effort and that time

I want to be there right behind you
look in the mirror and smile too
and gently whisper, "sexy girl you're fine,
you're beautiful and I'm proud to call you mine
I'm so lucky; I get to be the witness to your life"

So it begins...

Week one, song one. I actually get a bit of a pass this week as I'm re-mixing and cleaning up a song I wrote and recorded a few weeks ago. In fact, this track was actually one of the impetus...es (impetii?) for me to start this whole new project.

Even still I'm starting to learn the dynamics of how much time this is going to take, how much sleep I'm willing to sacrifice as well as getting the new studio space all set up. And I know what you're wondering --- yes, that's a painting of The Dude and Walter behind me.

Step into my chambers...
