I try to write something everyday. This practice is sort of like a meditation. But having written (and recorded) about 250 pieces it’s hard to come up with something new sometimes.
This song came about very spontaneously and I scurried to write it down as it happened. The “spontaneous” songs are always the best it seems to me.
The title comes from a little two-stanza “poem” I came up with last year.
Headphones help.
Be kind.
Love,
Reyn
“Morning Star”
“Heaven’s light forever shines
Earth’s shadows fly”
Things just are what they are
So get beyond the why
Show us who we really are
Smile down on us
Morning Star
All essence born before the sun
A truth to leaven doubt
Things just are what they are
We’ll all watch the stars burn out
Show us who we really are
Smile down on us
Morning Star
