You can only give your heart

(Christopher Van Name)

What can you do when you've given all you have to give? We always think we still have something left to give. Even when that person has taken everything from us. Even though we know they'll continue to take until we stop giving. You can only give your heart.

Another night you lie awake And stare up at the moon And wonder why it has to be this hard You try to find the answers But the questions aren't clear So you close your eyes and wish upon a star You wake up every morning To face a brand new day And hope that you don't try to reach too far I've watched you tear yourself apart And try to find what's missing When there's nothing left to give beneath the scars You can only give your heart You can only give your heart All the empty days And the sleepless nights When you question who you are When you give too much And it's not enough And you know it's gone too far When you think there must be something more But you don't know where to start When you've given all you have to give You can only give your heart You can only give your heart When we lose someone who hurts us It's ourselves we want to blame It's the only way we know to ease their pain But the hurt keeps cutting deeper As we twist and turn our shame 'Till there's little left of us that still remains When you've done it all And you did your best And it's time to let it go Even though you won't Find any rest You hold onto what you know When you think there must be something more But you don't know where to start There's nothing more for you to give You already gave your heart You already gave your heart You can only give your heart

Missing you

By Christopher Van Name


"Covid" Blues. I was traveling earlier this year when the pandemic lit up the north east. Needing to quarantine for sometime before I returned home, I wrote this piece on a dreary, rainy March afternoon. we all need a little alone time. Being separated from your loved one(s) for a prolonged period of time, especially during a time of crisis, makes us realize how fortunate we are to love and be loved.

Dance with me, Katie

By 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.

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!
