Crossroads

Crossroads is a song I wrote around 2 years ago.

I sequenced all of the music in Logic 8, using its onboard sounds, plus a few Philippine Gongs from a friend’s collection. Vocals recorded using the laptop mic (not a very good mic.. but till I’m able to purchase a good one, this will have to do!).

LYRICS:
Crossroads
Vision of a thousand sunsets
All in one purple-hazed sky
You wonder why
So much
Is changing
The ground beneath is shaking
Will you make it through the night
Without breaking?

I found a new love
Shiny and bright
My heart has turned to butterflies spread across the sky
I am alive again
I breathe again
But as soon as I begin
Fear creeps within my heart
Will it last the night?
Will it last the night?

Crossroads
Vision of a thousand sunsets
All in one purple-hazed sky
You wonder why
So much
Is changing
The ground beneath is shaking
Will you make it through the night
Without breaking?

You take the first step,
Your heart in your hands
Love can be a carousel,
A merry-go-round
You are a child again
You’re free again
But it’s always the same -
Forward and ’round, once more
Is it worth the ride?
Is it worth the ride?

Crossroads
Vision of a thousand sunsets
All in one purple-hazed sky
You wonder why
So much
Is changing
The ground beneath is shaking
Will you make it through the night
Without breaking?

Over and over again
We find ourselves in places we’ve never been before
A ship across the shore
Waiting to sail
To the unknown sea
All around me

Crossroads
Vision of a thousand sunsets
All in one purple-hazed sky
You wonder why
So much
Is changing
The ground beneath is shaking
Will you make it through the night
Without breaking?
