Floating

(Ari Wilde)

This song is about a feeling we all might have felt from time to time, but some of us feel it more often. As if you were an alien, and you didn't belong on the Earth amongst all the other people.

I forget my name once or twice a week 
I don't recognize my face when I'm tired or weak 
Out of place in my own body, one of the many ways I'm sick 
I'm an astronaut in space 
Once or twice a week 
 
Planet Earth is not my home 
Why does it feel so far away? 
I don't feel like I belong there 
And our future's looking gray 
 
Are you sure this is the way 
To make the troubles go away? 
I'm an astronaut in space 
Once or twice a week 
I don't understand your movements 
And I forget to speak 
It doesn't happen all the time 
I must be tired or weak 
Floating out of my own body 
That's why I feel like shit 
 
Are you sure this isn't fake? 
Maybe I'm just having a bad day 
Float out of my body 
This isn't the way to end this 
Maybe it's not just pretending 
Float out of my body 
More than a dream or hobby 
I feel like a body in the lobby 
This isn't the way to end this 
You XXXX XXX XXX XXXXXXXXXX

90s

By Ari Wilde

This song is about falling out, wheter falling out of love or fights in the family. It's about trying to hold on when everything else is falling apart

Downtown Stories

By Ari Wilde

This song deals with a past relationship. The singer had trouble letting themselves be close to the other person, and they were replaced. But the song ends with the understanding that, perhaps, the two lovers simply weren't meant for each other.

Surf And Sadness

By Ari Wilde

This song is a song for someone who's in a time of confusion. It's about lost love, and not being sure of what you feel. It's about changing your mind and seeing what you thought was worth it, isn't anymore.

A Taste of Country

By Melanie Thompson

Before I say a word or two about these lyrics, I would like to confess that I wrote them while I was hungry. Had I eaten a chicken salad sandwich, bag of chips and a sugar cookie before sitting down to write these lyrics, these lyrics may never have been written. I will also caution you to eat before reading them. Anyway, I was born in the country and raised by country folk. This song is a tip of my hat to all the country folk around the globe. Those folks who help feed the rest of us. And how blessed we are to have food. Oh Snap! I'm hungry again. Enjoy.
