    SOUNDTRACK: I Will Wait by Mumford & Sons & All I Wanna Do by Piotr & Sans Kar

    March 5, 2021 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Aster Valley: Winter Waites by Lucy Lennox

    Soundtrack to Aster Valley: Right As Raine by Lucy Lennox

    I read somewhere that I Will Wait was about Marcus Mumford reconnecting with his childhood pen pal, actress Carey Mulligan. The lyrics “Well I came home / Like a stone / And I fell heavy into your arms / These days of dust / Which we’ve known / Will blow away with this new sun” describes the joy and relief of somebody who’s constantly on the road coming home to the arms of his loved one. It’s a great song for touring musician, Gentry and his husband, Winter.

    All I Wanna Do was an easy choice for Raine and Mickey’s story. The lyrics goes “Everywhere I go / I see you beside me / You know you got me feeling / Right as rain“

    March 5, 2021 / No Comments

    Well I came home
    Like a stone
    And I fell heavy into your arms
    These days of dust
    Which we’ve known
    Will blow away with this new sun

    But I’ll kneel down
    Wait for now
    And I’ll kneel down
    Know my ground

    And I will wait, I will wait for you
    And I will wait, I will wait for you

    So break my step
    And relent
    You forgave and I won’t forget
    Know what we’ve seen
    And him with less
    Now in some way
    Shake the excess

    ‘Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
    And I will wait, I will wait for you
    And I will wait, I will wait for you
    And I will wait, I will wait for you

    Now I’ll be bold
    As well as strong
    And use my head alongside my heart
    So take my flesh
    And fix my eyes
    A tethered mind free from the lies

    And I’ll kneel down
    Wait for now
    I’ll kneel down
    Know my ground, woo

    Raise my hands
    Paint my spirit gold
    And bow my head
    Keep my heart slow

    ‘Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
    And I will wait, I will wait for you
    And I will wait, I will wait for you
    And I will wait, I will wait for you

    June 30, 2020 / No Comments

    You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
    Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
    But you saw no fault no cracks in my heart
    And you knelt beside my hope torn apart
    But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from you
    And we’ll live a long life
    So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
    ‘Cause oh that gave me such a fright
    But I will hold as long as you like
    Just promise me we’ll be alright

    So lead me back
    Turn south from that place
    And close my eyes from my recent disgrace
    ‘Cause you know my call
    We’ll share my all
    Now children come and they will hear me roar
    So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
    ‘Cause oh that gave me such a fright
    But I will hold as long as you like
    Just promise me we’ll be alright

    But hold me still bury my heart on the cold
    And hold me still bury my heart on the cold

    So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
    ‘Cause oh that gave me such a fright
    But I will hold on as long as you like
    Just promise me that we’ll be alright

    But the ghosts that we knew made us blackened or blue
    But we’ll live a long life

    And the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
    And we’ll live a long life
