Make me into a dream with white shadows and no dark hues And no excuses for why the flower never blooms Make me into a dream with white shadows and no dark hues And no excuses for why the flower never blooms I’ll be open I’ll be quiet You won’t even know that I’m there I will show you what you need to see while you’re dreaming about me Come into my world of dreams, my world of dreams It isn’t as perfect as it seems Problems face you, it’s adversity Fears and snares and answers on a screen You see? Come into my world of dreams, my world of dreams It isn’t as perfect as it seems Problems face you, it’s adversity Fears and snares and answers on a screen You see? (Revised) Make me into a dream with white shadows and no dark hues And no excuses for why the flower never blooms Make me into a dream with white shadows and no dark hues And no excuses for why the flower never blooms I’ll be open I’ll be quiet You won’t even know that I’m there I will show you what you need to see while you’re dreaming about me Come into my world of dreams, my world of dreams It isn’t as perfect as it seems Problems face you, it’s adversity Fears and snares and answers on a screen You see Come into my world of dreams, my world of dreams It isn’t as perfect as it seems Problems face you, it’s adversity Fears and snares and answers on a screen You see

Drifting in spaces unseen Spaces close to me Drifting in spaces unseen Feels like heaven to me You see? To me (In my heart) In my heart Drifting in spaces unseen Feeling my soul’s resting beat Drifting in spaces unseen There is no smoke around me. You see? To me In my heart (In my heart) In my heart Drifting in spaces (drifting, drifting) Drifting in spaces unseen
4.	The World and Life 04:22	lyrics	buy track
I wanna make my bed nicely before I rise to go downstairs I wanna find the right bonnet to stretch across my coily head I know it may not matter but I care just the same There’s nothing to it but a satin texture I know the fad has ended but some people still remain I just want my hair to grow I wanna go outside and sit out there the whole day long But I can’t do what I want so instead I chose nothing at all Some people call it lazy but I don’t care just the same They say I only procrastinate But they’re not in my shoes Not that I want them to I think it’s funny It’s funny It’s funny how you can’t change the world no matter how hard you try It’s funny how life stays the same if given a try You can’t put the same shoes on different feet ‘Cause they’ll stink in less than a minute The world is changing by itself and we can see it so I’m going to bed I’m going to bed Funny how you can’t change the world no matter how hard you try Funny how life stays the same if given a try Funny how you can’t save the world no matter how it flies Funny how life stays the same if given a try Funny how you can’t change the world no matter how hard you try Funny how life stays the same if given a try Funny how you can’t save the world no matter how hard you try Funny how life stays the same if given a try Funny how you can’t save the world no matter how hard it flies Funny how life stays the same if given a try Funny how you can’t save the world no matter how hard it flies Funny how life stays the same if given a try

It’s a flower on it’s own Doesn’t need you to make it beautiful You can pick it It’s a flower It’s a tree Marvel at it’s beauty Watch the way that it grows You know that the sun shines on it How beautiful the cycle goes Nobody’s perfect and you only rob yourself expecting them to be Can’t you see? I know sometimes it’s hard to walk a straight line But sometimes two left feet are all you can do

about

Potpourri Part 2 is the second of a 2-part experience through time - through music - through me.

This half captures some of the compositional and audio engineering styles throughout 20th and 21st century music while adopting some of the stylistic and aural (audio engineering) nuances of the early to mid 1900's.

As an executive engineering decision, I decided to capture the warmth and fullness of the mixes, as in the days of history. All while utilizing some of today's most advanced technology.

All audio recordings were captured using one microphone (maximum of 2 at a time).
