“RockSpeech”

RockSpeech…its not me who is speaking…
RockSpeech…its not me who is singing…

“RockSpeech” - i’ve been wanting to write a song with this one in mind and have finally made some progress….

in process…..

[Theme]

Imagine this world with filthy politics and dirty mind games being played all over the place. Someone is trying to speak up and is singing it in a form of a song and is giving a Rock Solid Speech with music.

“These Are The Things I Would Do” -

[Theme]

A simple thought of doing the things to a girlfriend. Cannot give her the moon, cannot bring down the stars…but these are the things i would do….

few lines…..

i don’t know where to start,

i cannot bring you the stars,

……

kissing, and shoving and my heart is dancing,

singing and loving and my heart deciding,

these are the things i would do, do those to you

….. (in process)

“A Wedding at the funeral store”

As you enter the store, i was cleaning the floor,
as i looked in your eyes, don’t let those tears on the floor.
I could not believe, that i would meet you this way,
and you were trying to explain, how someone died on his way.

the bells have been ringing, my mind started singing,
the phone started ringing, but my heart decided on dancing.
should i answer the phone, i am gone deaf from your tone.

i’ve come from a war, and what do you want to learn.
i’ve seen bloodshed before, there were more things i had to learn.
and as i enter the doorway, and walk through the frontgate
would you Open your door, and lead me to your heartgate

you ask where have you been, and what have you seen.
you try to explain, and say you’ve seen the worst thing.
a thousand faces i may have seen, but his face could not be seen.

then you look at me straight, i’ve been just listening all the way,
and there’s a doubt in your mind, that i’ve been looking at you this way.
but i try to refrain, and hold those words i wanted to say.
there’s a promise i can make, that i’ll never leave you away.

As you are trying to leave, you look at me strange,
as if you don’t want to leave, you give a smile which is strange.
I cannot believe, but my mind started to think,
the thought comes to my mind, is there a wedding at the funeral store.

[Theme] 

A man has just returned from the war at the battlefront and is thinking that he has seen enough of war, and wants to live a seperate life and pray for people who die every day at war and try to console families by working at the funeral store, so he starts working over there. There he meets a beautiful girl who has seen the most tragic accident of one of his relative who is a young child and she is very upset about it. The girl tries to explain the accident and is asking for a coffin to be used for funeral purposes. The man cannot explain or say something about his feelings to the girl as he has never seen someone so beautiful and never expected someone like her to be at such a place. He thinks about the girl to be brave enough for trying to rescue the kid, caring and sensitive as a girl could be. He falls in love with her but cannot explain with respect to the situation so he starts thinking about “A Wedding at the funeral store”.

“Will i be yours”

your curly hair starts talking to me…
your beautiful eyes starts staring at me…
your beautiful mind, is it thinking of me…
your beautiful smile keeps me fixed to you…

will i be yours honey…
do you believe in me…
or will i yearn to learn this…
you were waiting for me to join the dance…

you walk on the sand by the beach alone…
and i come close and feel your breath…
you clear the hair and put it back on your ears…
can you listen to what i sing…

will i be yours sweety…
and i have flown into the sky…

you look at the sun and it shines so bright…
and i see you shining in your white dress…
where do the clouds go please tell me…
you say they’re fetching water for me…

don’t fold your hands and walk alone…
i’ll catch your hand while walking the shore…
where do the waves in the ocean begin…
i’ll ride on them and take you with me…

none of us will ever have to lie…
it’ll be as natural as it could be…
where is my heart please tell me…
right there beside you as i can see…

will i be yours oh my sweety…
i come to terms in reality…
and then you whisper to me…
will you be my sweetheart…
