Chocolate Today Not Tomorrow Feanne

Wrote a fun song advising you to eat chocolate today not tomorrow.
*massive sweet tooth*

But if you want to take it metaphorically it’s also about carpe diem, living la dolce vita, NOW. ;)

***

Chocolate Today Not Tomorrow

Hello sugar honey
Butterscotch creamy
Pure, hot, hot, steamy
Deep dark chocolate kiss today!

Don’t procrastinate with your chocolate
Don’t procrastinate with your chocolate

Ice cream sundae, my love
Caramel milkshake
Extra thick and creamy
Deep dark chocolate kiss today!

Don’t procrastinate with your chocolate
Don’t procrastinate with your chocolate

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate
Today not tomorrow
Today not tomorrow
Today not tomorrow
Chocolate, chocolate

***

Chords:
D, Em, C, D
D, Em, C, C

I love your music! Is there somewhere that I can purchase it?

Hi! That’s so sweet of you to ask! But nope I don’t do it professionally :) You can send me your email (I won’t publish it here don’t worry) and I don’t mind emailing you, for free, the MP3 files of songs of mine that you ask for. I also quite honestly don’t mind if you share these with others too :P This is just something I do for fun in my free time, and I like to have people enjoying it!

You compose well. Aside from guitar, do you have background in piano or violin?

Aww, thank you for the compliment! ^_^ I don’t know how to play any other instruments aside from (basic) guitar.

Real Simple Sweet Feanne

A song about having less stuff and more time, being kind and coloring outside the lines. :)

REAL SIMPLE SWEET

In my life
I would like
Much less stuff, much more time
Spend the time being kind
And coloring outside the lines

Much less stuff
Much more time
Time with you, time to smile
Spend the time being kind
And coloring, coloring outside the lines

Keep it real, simple, sweet
Keep it real, simple, sweet
Keep it real, simple, sweet
Keep it real, simple, sweet

Simple girl
Simple life
Much less stuff, much more time
Spend the time being kind
And coloring, coloring outside the lines

Keep it real, simple, sweet
Keep it real, simple, sweet
Keep it real, simple, sweet
Keep it real, simple, sweet

Real, simple, sweet
Real, simple, sweet
Real, simple, sweet
Real, simple, sweet

Less stuff, more time
Coloring outside the lines

Chords: Just F & C.
Trying to be minimal with my chords to see how far I can go :D

Nice one! But that's easier said than done especially when you're in love and attached. Usually, that loved one becomes the baggage and it makes travel un-light. Unless, that person is dispensable which is not usually the case:-(

You were talking about the Miss Minimalist blog right? :) Check out her entries. She’s married. Also she recently featured another minimalist blogger— one who’s a wife and a mother with several kids! Yet they manage a minimalist life. I guess if you’re in it together.. :)

I haven't really been drawing

Sorry! I have been sick… and songwriting, I find, is slightly more distracting than drawing. It’s better at keeping my mind off things. Hope you enjoy anyway (: I do miss drawing. And I will again soon.

Love Unfold Feanne

A song about layers falling away in love. ;) A rose blooming, unfolding consciousness. Some allusion to Angela Carter’s dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast— The Tiger’s Bride. Petal after petal, “skin after successive skin, all the skins of a life in the world…trickled down my shoulders”

Love Unfold

Love and unfold me
Learn to just hold me
Unfold me

Disarm, delight me
Unfold, disrobe me
Unfold, unfold me
We are pure, we are pure

Love, unfold more and more, more and more
More and more, more and more, more and more

Love me, unfold me
Reveal me, reveal me
Unfold, unfold me
We are pure, we are pure

Love me, unfold me
Love me, reveal me
Unfold, unfold me, oh, unfold, unfold

More and more, more and more
More and more, more and more, more and more

Bold and bright, brilliant light, at your core
More and more, more and more, more and more

Love me, unfold me
Open, unlock me
Unfold, unfold me
We are pure, we are pure

Unfold me, unfold me, unfold me
More and more
We are pure

On Love Poems

Love is sacred.

Love is: You, me, our time on this spaceship earth, making magic, consciously creating a collective consciousness, a cosmic connection.

Words about love are words about worlds: Worlds within and worlds without. Worlds filled with wonder and worship and pain and transformation and thanksgiving.

So, I Thank You.

Happy year of the Butterfly!

Miss Minimalist writes about the freedom of living beautifully, with less stuff:

Drift like clouds, flow like water; stay financially afloat & sane in this (post)modern society:

Sometimes I think there’s much too emphasis on setting goals and planning futures and reaching milestones. Why not simply enjoy life, instead of creating additional stress? I’m not against having aspirations; but to be honest, I don’t want to schedule my life on my iPod, download productivity apps, or attend virtual workshops on how to be successful at x, y, or z. And I certainly don’t want to create a five-year plan and mark my progress each step along the way.

Instead, I’d like to approach life the same way I approach travel—simply taking each day as it comes. I want to be surprised and delighted by what transpires, rather than ticking off a series of planned events. Mostly, however, I want the freedom to “wander” without the burden of possessions and responsibilities… by keeping my “baggage” and “itinerary” as light as possible, I hope “to drift like clouds and flow like water” each day of my life.

We want to flit through life with little baggage, unencumbered by excess stuff. We want to leave the Earth and its resources whole and intact, as if we alighted just for a moment and barely touched them… we’re satisfied with the barest of essentials… conscious… that resources are limited.

“The small butterfly
moves as though unburdened by
the world of desire”
~ Kobayashi Issa

Be Whole Again Feanne

I wrote myself a song to cheer myself up about being sick. Dear body, plz 2 b healing nao kthxbai!

BE WHOLE AGAIN
Break the night
Take it apart
With all your heart
Dream so deep
Breathe in deep
Take a leap
I’ll heal, heal, heal, heal
I’ll be whole, whole, whole again

Chords: D, A, G, D, A just over and over again.

P.S. It’s not a serious / life-threatening thing but persistent and frustrating nonetheless!

Starlight Flight Feanne

Yet another raw song about love and starlight. ;)

My first time to write a song using proper chords… So I can play it on my guitar. And you can too, if you like! :) (In case you are wondering, I made my other songs by pressing random keys on the GarageBand virtual “piano” until I hit a combo I like. Idk how to play piano. :D)

(Intro)
C - Em - C - Em
(Verse/Chorus)
C - Em - C - Em
F - C - F - Em

Enjoy ★❤✶❇

“STARLIGHT FLIGHT”
You and I, are starlight defined
Starlight, starlight defined, oh
We fly
Linger in the starlight, oh
We fly
Linger in your mind
You and I, set alight the sky, oh
And we wandered so far, so far, oh
We fly
Waking in the moonlight
We fly
Wandering the starlight
Lalalala…
Wandering the sky
Starlight

“Wondering why you’re suffering today? Someday you’ll meet someone suffering the same pain. You’ll tell them you know what it’s like. You’ll share with them the gentle wisdom you’ve gained in your own journey. You can’t heal them but you’ll help them see: Yes, I can choose to be whole again.” —Feanne

Made Of Stardust Feanne

Our atoms came from stardust. When we die perhaps our atoms will become new stars again, a million years or so from now. The form changes: human, tree, water, star. The atoms do not disappear.
In this sense, our bodies live forever.

Brian Swimme tells us that we are the conscious form of the stars, so that the stars may gaze at their own beauty.

This raw song based on my poem: Remember when you were a star? Also, maybe I should re-title the blog to SING TODAY NOT TOMORROW. :))

(I have to re-record the song to reflect how I changed the a few lines.)

“MADE OF STARDUST”

Do our bodies really die, disappearing?
They say it’s just the soul, that lives forever
Don’t you know the body lives forever too?
Don’t you know the body lives forever?
Atoms change, and rearrange, become another
And my body remembers, it remembers
Don’t you know your body lives forever too?
Don’t you know your body lives forever?
When I see the stars, I remember
When I hold your hand, I remember
Yes I tingle, and I ache, and I sing
And I dance, oh dance, dance, oh dance,
With my body made of stardust and wanderlust
With my body made of stardust and wanderlust
I remember, I am here, now, always
I remember, you are here, now, always
Now, always
Now, always
Now, always
Remember when you were a star?

Rainkiss Feanne (vocal) & Arvie (instrumental)

I sang vocals for Arvie’s instrumental track, “Descendant”. I think it was supposed to have a deep and profound mystical meaning or something, except I just turned it into a wistful little love song which I call “Rainkiss” :D here is the raw demo…. raiiiiinkeeeees!!!

Kiss me in the rain
Make me want to stay
Want to stay
Kiss me in the rain
I want to stay
Make me want to stay
Oh, rain
Kiss me in the rain
Kiss me in the rain
Make me want to stay
I want to stay
Kiss me in the rain
Make me want to
Make me want
You
Oh, you
You
Oh, you
You
In the rain…
Kiss me in the rain
Make me want to stay
Want to stay
Kiss me in the rain
I want to stay
You kissed me in the rain
That day
You kissed me in the rain
That day
You kissed me in the rain
That day
Oh, that day
That day
In the rain
Oh, rain
Oh, rain
Rain…
