Ari's Song 04:19
ARI’S SONG Verse 1 Pretty dress, And hair so long. Dressed just right. The will is strong. So very smart. So many gifts. Your time with me, I would never miss. Bridge 1 Hoping you / will take my hand. Let’s learn life / while we can. /// Trust in me. We have a world to see. /// Chorus 1 Hold me near, Hearts did touch. To the one so dear, Whom I love, so much. Verse 2 Dancing free, And spinning ‘round, So much fun. Can’t sit down Singing out, When you can. Talent rare, please understand. Bridge 2 I think of you / every day Sometimes don’t know what to say. Know you’re special, And with this song, Remember me, When I am gone. Chorus 2 Hold me near, Hearts did touch. To the one so dear, That I love, so much. (Repeat)

Walk 03:53
WALK Verse 1 Foot by foot, hand in hand, we walk together on the land. Parent, spouse, teacher, child. A bond created. Gentle. Mild. Verse 2 What it means to have a friend: Never break. Only bend. Knowing you will always be, Someone who is there for me. Chorus Walk with me. Oh won’t you? Talk with me. Oh won’t you? Hold my hand. Oh! Oh! Look at me. Oh won’t you? Care for me. Oh won’t you? Understand. Oh! Oh! Share my time. Oh won’t you? Make the climb. Oh won’t you? Say you care. Oh! Oh! Walk with me. Walk with me.

Comfort 04:22
COMFORT Verse 1 Lost inside, under many years, Softly faded by all your tears. Let me comfort you. Let me comfort you. Verse 2 Strip away all the shallow games. Open up, let me feel your pain. Let me comfort you. Let me comfort you. Pre-chorus Music speaks to everyone who listens close, And doesn’t run away from something. Makes them feel. The only thing that might be real. It’s a copy of the Will itself. … of the Will itself. Chorus Can’t you see me trying to find, Ways to relate to you. Find a way to let me in. Let me comfort you. I can feel, distance grow. Open up And don’t let go

FROM THE CORNER VERSE 1 The corner is a familiar place, Where I once was made to face. Now it is a place of control, Where I can watch the greater fool. VERSE 2 Used as punishment in school. What I learned was “break the rules.” There always is a price to pay. Having something to say. VERSE 3 Turning corners changing views. Brings energy; dreams renew. Looking back as I grow old, I only wish I’d been more bold. CHORUS From the corner of the room, From the worries in your mind, A world you’ll leave behind.

Control 03:47
CONTROL Chorus There’s seduction in the beat you hear, Seeking en-try into your soul. The music locks the gate into your mind. The gate that is locked by a loss of control. You can’t control the air. You can’t control the air. You can’t control the air they breath. Verse 1 Some things you can’t force. Some things you despise. Sometimes you are lonely. Sometimes you’re surprised. When notes harmonize, and a new song is found. Doesn’t matter what you do, World goes ‘round. Find the melody, Where you can go with the flow. Know there are some things You will just never know, Refrain 1 World goes ‘round. World goes ‘round. Doesn’t matter what you do, World goes ‘round. Chorus 2 There’s seduction in the beat you hear, Seeking en-try into your soul. The music locks the gate into your mind. The gate that is locked by a loss of control. You can’t control the air. You can’t control the air. You can’t control the air they breath. Verse 2 Free your thoughts. Free you mind. Change your feelings. Create a design. Free from stress. Free what’s behind. Free to make music. Freedom to find, Music is a place, Where we make it to the beat. Drop your heavy burden. Be light on your feet. Refrain World goes ‘round. World goes ‘round. Doesn’t matter what you do, World goes ‘round.

about

THE CORNER ALBUM - The title of this album is representative of some changes in my life and a new beginning with music. As a whole, the album genre is electronica, although specific songs range from blues to classical. For me, the creative process often begins with an inspiring chord sequence, sometimes followed by lyrics. Using audio workstation software, virtual instruments, and a keyboard controller, the other tracks are built to form a song. Very few samples are used, with most sounds individually programmed. Frequently, guest musicians have laid a track to a song, sometimes provided with a musical score and sometimes left to improvise. I have written and produced all of the songs on this album and play all of the instrument parts, unless noted in the credits.
