a gift to you
I've composed music for as long as I can remember. There's something about the creation and vibration combination that I find intensely healing. These pieces are particularly special to me, so I wanted to share them with you. Enjoy!
Why does a book have a theme song? Because the main character, Jenny, needs music like air...and because she sang to me while I was writing the novel. She desperately wanted to get this song out, to be heard and maybe even, finally, understood.
Growing up in a home with a piano teacher for a mom can be a blessing and a curse. She was there to help me through the mistakes, but she was also always there ready to point them out! I am so grateful my mom gave me the gift of music and I think the main reason I started composing my own is because then she could just sit back and listen.
Jenny's Theme - "Sacrifice Me"
Lyrics
Blow out the candle, it won’t do any good anyway
It’s too dark to leave now, and yet there’s not light enough to stay
When push comes to shove, will they show you the door?
With all that you’ve paid, it’ll still cost you more
The hard fact of life is that none of it’s free
Sacrifice me ~ Sacrifice me
Empty your pockets and think of something clever to say
There’s too much to handle, perhaps we should just call it a day
When push comes to Love, will you show me the door?
With all that I give, you can’t take anymore
So when the times comes to make your decree
Sacrifice me ~ Sacrifice me
It’s hard enough to be normal
As if anyone possibly could
So I’ll stay in my head
And hide under my bed
And pretend to be all that I should be
Sacrifice me ~ Sacrifice me
Light me a candle, you know there’s nothing left you can say
There’s no one to blame here, in time you’ll see it’s better this way
When push comes to shove, I will walk through that door
With nothing to lose, I can’t win any more
The answer to how I will ever be free
I will sacrifice me ~ I will sacrifice me
Sacrifice me ~ Sacrifice me
Written by Jeannette Folan and performed by Canadian artist, Taryn Kawaja with Benjamin Marmen on cello.
