Crowded House - Distant Sun (cover)





I didn't realize until recently how awesome Crowded House is. Deep lyrics. (sorry for the mistake at the end!)

Patti Griffin - Long Ride Home (cover)





I love Patti Griffin. Her songwriting is poignant and her melodies grab you at some place deep in your soul.

Lucy Wainwright Roche - Snare Drum (cover)





A cover by one of my fave folksy artists.

Come Let Us Worship and Bow Down (mashup)





I always used to get these two songs confused, so why not just sing both of them together?

Valentine's Song (original)

inspired by the book Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card
If Ender's Game was ever made into a Broadway musical, this would be a ballad at the end of the third act, sung by Valentine to her brother before they fly away.

(Capo 2, Key of A)

Verse:
.        G          C               G
 it's a paradox of achieving world peace
.      C           Em         Am           D
 with peace as the end, using war as the means
.   G                        C        G
 to ensure the continued survival of man
.      C             Em
 they took you and trained you
.      Am            D
 put a gun in your hand
  
.F                    Am            G
 who of us asks to be born on this earth
.F                  Am
 is there a purpose above
.Bm                       Am        Bm  C
 Ender, the hopes of the world hung on you
.     Am
 but despite all the war
.       C                        D
 don't forget you were made for love


Chorus:
 .G
 Run away
.       C             G
 to the stars beyond stars
.  C      G
 leaving behind
. Am        D
 wars upon wars
.          G            C        G
 There's power in the violence within
.    C           G               D            G
 in kissing the snake you found love without end


Bridge:
. Am
 What do we do
.        Em
 now that your work is through
.         C   C/B     Em        D/F#
 we are saved by the buggers' defeat

.    Am
 To keep you from being
.  Em
 a pawn in the hands
.       C             G
 of our brother dear Peter
.         C             G
 we will have to soon leave here
.     C           G            D
 and fly across space, across time

Repentance Song by wemaysing


G           D/F#  Em              C           
Father, You are Lord of all the earth

Deliver us from all our pride
