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

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 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 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'."
