Standing Here and Looking Back

(Isaac Wragg)

Nostalgia is appealing, but it also has an enemy. Forgetting the last can harm us just as much as idolizing it. Finding a balance is hard, but when we do--seeing the good, the bad, and the path that led us here--we don't have to ignore or be owned by what our life used to be.

Summer Dream

By Isaac Wragg

This is a stab at the a classic summer song with an interpretive twist. I ignored the usual feel good and relational themes for one that hopefully leaves the listener guessing. What it meant to me while writing it will likely be completely different from what it means to you. However, the lyrics are simultaneously not super complex and allow for a celebratory, triumphant feeling to also shine through. Additionally, the rhyme scheme is intentionally a little odd to give the song a more memorable and unique sound.

Bumblebee

By Isaac Wragg

Sometimes people wonder what mankind's world looks like through the eyes of an animal; sometimes people wonder how the world could fall apart. This poem-ish song combines both concepts to tell a short story about a lovely bumblebee buzzing through a crumbling world. Though the lyrics may come off as fatalistic, they're really more imaginative and focused on the bright little bee as a contrast to the terrible things in the backdrop. Practically, this song was written in the style of a lullaby and is an excellent choice for an acoustic or singer/songwriter vibe.

Forward

By Isaac Wragg

This a song about change and trying to figure yourself out. It was written for a simple, more acoustic vibe--the lyrics reflect this in their simplicity, shortness, and contemplative nature. There's a strong element of confusion woven in, but it's overshadowed in the end by the promise of what's to come.

Mania

By Sonia Mian

This song is about the manic state you go through when you suffer from bipolar disorder. It’s about delusions based off dreams and losing the ones you love because you’re too caught up in that state of mania.

Plan

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about me, and my inability to stick to a plan. I'm great at making plans, but I'm also good at diverting myself from that plan I think if you're going to do something like that you have to have another plan in place, and I rarely ever did today I try to live my life differently and if I make a plan I stick to it if it's not working I reassess make another plan and stick to that one I admire people who can stick to a plan and I think it's part of being a mature person.
