Dance with me, Katie

(Christopher Van Name)

A young Irishman dreams of his love, Katie, the night before he is to be hanged for treason during The Insurrection. Lying in his cell in Kilmainham Gaol, he sings out, recalling the first time they met, as the sounds of rebellion drift into the darkness of DublinTown.

Well the first time I saw her
She was down in the meadow
Her waist deep in clover
Her skin white as snow
She was soft as a whisper
Like the wind through the willow
Her hair shone like heather
As the sun slipped 'neath the valley below

'Cross the river I waded
As the moon cast its shadow
In the twilight she waited
Her face all aglow
As the evening light faded
The stars in her eyes glowed
Our souls were then fated
To each other, forever bestowed

Won't you dance with me, Katie?
Oh, dance with me, Katie
Please dance with me, Katie
While the band plays one slow
"In my arms, let me hold you",
I remember I told you
Won't you dance with me Katie?
You're the one love I know

Now the snow paints the valley
There's a hush in the meadow
And the first time I kissed you
Was a lifetime ago
When I waded that river
And we lay 'neath the willow
I knew at that moment
Oh how I knew, I would never let go

Won't you dance with me, Katie?
Oh, dance with me, Katie
Please dance with me, Katie
While the band plays one slow
In my arms, I'll embrace you
I could never replace you
Won't you dance with me, Katie?
Let's be sure to dance slow

Now my time's growing nearer
I hear your voice in the meadow
Still soft as a whisper
Like the wind through our willow...

Won't you dance with me, Katie?
Oh, dance with me, Katie
Please dance with me, Katie
While the band plays one slow
In my arms, I will hold you
With my heart, I have told you
Please dance with me, Katie
Before I must go

Oh, dance with me, Katie
Please dance with me, Katie
Won't you dance with me, Katie
How I do love you so

Sky Blue

By Christopher Van Name

Watching a beautiful day end. A sense of loss as the blue sky gives way to dusk. Like a new love, when you part, even though you know you'll see each other soon, self-doubt and insecurity sets in. Dreamy Blues.

World of Men

By Christopher Van Name

Hard to believe what a mess we've made of this world. Our environment abused, over used and taken for granted. Personal and religious freedom challenged every day. Racial and gender inequality and discrimination. Greed, avarice, hate and violence promoted by the insecure and power hungry. Lies, the language of the day. The world of men. Imagine a world where love and respect are the norm? Where the norm is realizing and recognizing that we are all different. A world that celebrates those differences. Where the only weapon we have available is listening and communicating openly with one another. Where everyone is accepted and treated respectfully and given the same opportunity to speak up. To aspire to be the best they can be. To reach as far and as high as they can without fear and oppression. Sounds like Shangra-La. It could be.

Now I know you're free

By Christopher Van Name

Living with the loss of loved ones. It's always difficult to put such loss into perspective. To grieve. To celebrate a lost life. To learn to go and live your own life. To answer all the questions. Was that person happy in their own life? Were their dreams fulfilled? Is there life after death? Where does one's spirit go when they leave this earth? Eternal questions with no answers. I guess it all comes down to one's faith and how they deal with life and death. - For Penny and Gail

North Wind

By Christopher Van Name

Autumn. Chill in the air. A time of aging. New things wear old, flowers dry up and fade away, leaves fall and hearts break. The cold winter looms ahead. The North Wind blows the winter hard and cold. The winter blues can take a good love down.

Dreaming Out the Door

By Izzy Douma

This song contemplates the feeling of being stuck inside of one's mind, whilst using the analogy of dreaming out of a door, waiting for rescue. The verses and the bridge of this song are meant to be rap, while the choruses and tag are meant to be a part of a melody. The song gives a dark, dreamy attitude and abbreviates the longing for a deep connection with the outside world. Enjoy!
