Love this Phillip Glass inspired piece by Rufus Wainwright. I don't have a Euphonium player handy, but I've got my lips. . .

Chemical: I don't know what it is about you, I just can't get enough of the view. . .

A song about the ultimate longing.  The 10 year type.  The one that ties in other songs and melodies along the way.  Complete with Coastal Views, Wurlitzers, Stellar Coffee. . . you know, all the good things.  It's Chemical. . . 
Chemical- Words and Music by Alison Harris

You flew away, freeing my heart
I finally know, it isn’t the start of something beautiful


Oh what a love, oh what a day
Baby to think I was ready to give it all away


We’ll meet again, high as the stars
when you’re fighting to win, the need for a victory is Chemical


I fought for your heart, I fell down with ease
Scraped up my elbows and tore up my knees
Oh what a love, oh what a night
If you’re trying to find me I’ll be in the last dream on the right


Someday you’ll say, give me the key
When the lock has been rusted away and your heart gives in to Gravity


I don’t know what it is about you
I just can’t get enough of the view
Fell so hard, I got proof in the scars
This love is adrenaline, it’s Chemical

Open- Old Song, New Demo

7/9/2020

A new demo of a very old song- written about my first lover, still rings true. My parents met in a Balkan Folk Dance class and singing group and you can hear the drones and beautiful dissonance of Balkan music in this tune.
Where are you now my friend
You said you’d be here ’til the end
And what do you see now
You’re looking out from different ground


I’d like to see you
I want to reminisce
I’d like to feel you
Open
Open
Open up
Open
Open


Can we re-define our bliss
Is it you or myself that I miss
Where is that girl I used to know
Is she buried somewhere deep below


I’d like to see her
I want to dance again
Are you my Anchor
Are you my Lover
Or my Friend
Or another end

Blue is Fallin' - Hot Rize Lunch Break Cover by Alison Harris

Music is beautiful therapy for the blues.  Creativity takes the blues and turns those feelings of sadness, depression, anxiety-  into rejuvenating lightening to share with the world.  This song expresses that beautifully.  Thanks for taking a listen to my cover of Hot Rize's "Blue is Fallin'."
