Breath On Me

Please listen to my newest song addition for my "Take One Project".  These recordings are works-in-progress (incomplete, raw, organic) for my next full album.  I'll choose 12 songs from this "Take One Project" and properly record them for my upcoming album.


New Artwork Collaboration

I'm collaborating with Google Plus Artists and featuring their photos and artwork as the thumbnail picture for my songs.  Each song in the "Take One Project" will feature different artwork from photographers and artists across the globe!

The seventh artist is Willi Bambach.  Bambach is a “sui generis” artist who works with many mediums.  He says, "Inside the shapes we catch a glimpse of hints of intangible worlds, reachable only by abandoning all the usual patterns of thinking."  Please click here to view Bambach's portfolio.

I also collaborated musically with a brilliant guitarist +Mike Majesty.  Mike and his band is also responsible for all additional instruments played on this track, aside from my vocals and acoustic guitar.

'Breath On Me'

This song is about the "walls" we build around ourselves to shelter our pains.



She moves me on the water
She takes me cross the sea
Like the thunder in the heavens
She brings me to my knees


She hides me in the shadow
She bleeds in me her pain
With the tears that fall from her eyes
I bathe in her new rain

Chorus 1
Breathe on me your fire
Breathe on me your light
And these walls that kiss the heavens
Will keep us safe tonight

Chorus 2
In this tomb of isolation
No tears to wash me clean
Cause the higher this wall rises
The less I feel the pain

She calms me with a whisper
She moves me with her eyes
Like the midnight sweat from a broken dream
She comes from deep inside

She traps me in the mountains
She keeps me far from love
This journey that was meant for me
Was stolen from above

Bridge
And I will honor your love
Cause our walls are the same
Our eyes they search for sunlight
As we look out past the pain - the pain

'SHATTER ME'

Color me
Paint me bright upon your skin so fair
I realize

I feel again
In the motion of your song I fall
Through your pain

Chorus
And I've been waiting for my soul to cry
Bitter kisses on my heart
You've come closer than my yesterday
Won't you free my pain
Won't you free my pain

Stay with me
Hold me like you feel at home
With my soul

Cry with me
Scream your pain into my body
And shatter me

'In The Light'

You have seen me - heard my cry and we dance - in the light
Knowing love we find forgiveness - breathe out the past

Chorus
Breathing out our pain
We surrender to the dance
Reaching out past the fear
We find hope in the light - in the light

We have overcome the storm - found peace - once again
Giving up our selfish hands we kneel in the light

Rap
You can laugh at the truth and beg for the rain
You can sing about life and push down the pain
But where is the hope - Where is fire
Where is that drive - Do you keep it inside
Or in the light - In the dance

We’ve held this long and danced through the pain
We can’t give up - We can’t turn back
There’s higher ground - Life to be found
The struggles - The sweat - The sorrow
Through conflict - collision and chaos

You continue to live - succeed - achieve - deliver
You continue to dance
Cause you choose to breathe - You breathe
