a lyric and a song part 1

Recorded on 8/27/20. This is the part one of a two part video. I start off by sharing the lyric Something New and show off Garbo again. (Earlier our fabulous hosts Transe and Hanna were showing off their cats and you know cat people 😉

A quick note about this lyric, it was inspired after watching the movie Finding Neverland.

I hope you enjoy the poem and this moment from 2020. This lyric part of this video has captions added. If you want to learn more about this open mic visit: https://www.instagram.com/fos_thursdays/. We still get together every Thursday via zoom.

Something New

So, who are you… 
who are you to tell me
this is what I feel, this is what’s real
You, you don’t need to sell me
on ideas of life & love ever after
that’s not what I’m here for
You may be more than a dream
that’s more than I mean
will you ever be more to me.
these are the moments that matter
mean the most to me - but

Tell me something new
Tell me something true
Say:
‘I like it when you’re wearing blue,
Your hair’s pulled back tight,
Your face shines in the moonlight,
There’s fairy dust on your lips
I see the future in your kiss.’

Don’t solemnly swear, 
Don’t just stand there
throw away those clichés
there is so much more to say
It’s time to seize the moment
Wake up before it passes
Create a memory that lasts
Impress me with your interest
Let me in your dreams
That’s more than I mean
Will you ever be more to me

Tell me something new
Tell me something true
Say:
‘I like it when you’re wearing blue,
Your hair’s pulled back tight,
Your face shines in the moonlight,
There’s fairy dust on your lips
I see the future in your kiss.

Just take my hand and
just sell me, tell me
I see the future is in your kiss.
