Seth Asa: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I wrote this song while I was making a project called "Hey My People" (where the song Slo-Mo Mojo began). It's pretty simple but I dig it.

I haven't yet recorded the whole song... this is a recording from the Hey My People sessions, before I had finished the lyrics. Enjoy!

someone was pretty before she got angry
someone was lovely before she got mean
someone was funny before she got older
someone who once was the girl of your dreams

someone was happier when she was dancing
back in the day in the old neighborhood
someone who lived for the joy of the moment
left in the wake of the tide of the flood

someone approached her from out of the moonlight
someone with stories of champagne and song
she searched the starlight for negative answers
but their silence convinced her that nothing was wrong

someone went soaring into the spotlight
grinning and spinning, winning over the world
someone embodied a love of the future
someone who once was a dream of a girl

(not yet recorded)

someone got caught up in being famous
someone who did everything she was told
her eyes filled with the wisdom of ages
washing the windows to her soul

someone got lost in the dark of the spotlight
someone awash in a sea of mistakes
so she returned to the world where she started
finding the comfort she kept in "the same"

someone was pretty before she got lonely
someone was lovely before she was down
someone was funny before it got harder
someone who once was the talk of the town
