Okey dokey,

My voice is shot at the moment, far too much crackle pop and sinews… but -, seeing as this is supposed to be a statement of intent, I'll bippety bop and put it out there. 🙂

Dai.

[b]Feathers Of Angel[/b]

[b]1.[/b]
I suppose I?ve been torn, on which way to go
I?ve been making it easy and taking it slow
And you have the right to think
I've all the time in the world

But that?s not how it is, as a matter of fact
I?ve reached a conclusion and I?ve made a pact
As the sand in my glass slips to nothing
And I gather to fall? it?s my call?

[b]Chorus:[/b]
I?m going to drift away, waving at shadows of Angels
I?m going to bippetty bop, to the end of each day
I?m going to shimmy and shape myself feathers of Angel wings
Find myself a hill? run, stretch and then fly away

[b]2.[/b]
I?ll scribble on papers, I?ll make all the signs
I?ll gather my patterns, kiss all my designs
I?ll cross all my tees and dot i?s
I?ll see that I do

All that is important, I know it for sure
I?ll bottle my love and I?ll leave it in store
I hope I can say I managed it
Ticketyboo? toodle oo?

[b]Chorus:[/b]
I?m going to drift away, waving at shadows of Angels
I?m going to bippetty bop, to the end of each day
I?m going to shimmy and shape myself feathers of Angel wings
Find myself a hill? run, stretch and then fly away

[b]Bridge:[/b]
Yes love, I know that you don?t find this sort of thing funny
Yes love, I know that reality always cuts in
Demanding a dance with the devil? where I quietly want to cross over
But love, where I?m going the devil just cannot cut in

[b]Tag:[/b]
? Cos? that how it is, as a matter of fact
I?ve reached a conclusion and I?ve made a pact
As the sand in my glass slips to nothing
And I gather to fall? it?s my call?

[b]Chorus:[/b]
I?m going to drift away, waving at shadows of Angels
I?m going to bippetty bop, to the end of each day
I?m going to shimmy and shape myself feathers of Angel wings
Find myself a hill? run, stretch and then fly away

Sleep, dream, run, stretch and then fly away
On the feathers of Angels

Love it Dai!!

Wow, you have so many talents. Your lyrics are wonderful, deep and meaningful. The girls and I absolutely love angels, we've got dozens upon dozens of books, ornaments, nik-naks etc, so anything involving angels is a big thumbs up from us.

I love your attitude too, you are a real inspiration, bless you.

Sent with love and much admiration
Angelina xx

Thank you Angelina.

In which case I have a nice surprise for you. 😎

I have a lot of creative irons in the fire at the moment… from getting my first novel into the hands of an agent, getting my second novel started – big gesture, I am going to write the first paragraph on Thursday. 😀

I also have a songwriting project on the go – a concept album (I have always wanted to do one) and Dex gave me the subject matter and genre last week. :-/

It is going to be a country album (from ballad to country rock and all things in between) of eight (8) songs – a cycle. It is going to trace the love, life and experiences of a young couple over a twenty (20) year period. The protagonists are Danny and Angelina… and the title of the project is: Angelina. 😎

Here's the lyric to song 6 of the cycle (the ghost song) as a taster. 🙂

Dai.

I?m booted and I?m suited and I guess I?m ready to roll
I should be out there striding but I?m keeping to a stroll
Cos? the mood that pressed and dressed me, has not reached my soul
Angelina, Angelina

[b]2.[/b]
She?s taking me and making me, walk down to the bar
A lonely mile of dirt track, it seems a mile too far
She wouldn?t let me take the truck, ?cos I refused the car
Angelina, Oh Angelina

[b]Chorus:[/b]
Angelina?s walking with me, Angelina?s by my side
Angelina?s just a ghost now but she used to be my bride

[b]3.[/b]
She?s teasing me and pleasing me, she tells me I look cool
Even though the both of us know I feel such a fool
But she needs me ?out there?… I feel I?m back at school
Angelina, Angelina

[b]4.[/b]
I?m thirty-four, just thirty-four, a widower and dad
And the sixteen years with Angie were the best I ever had
I just don?t want to be here but Angie says: ?too bad?
Angelina, Oh Angelina

[b]Chorus:[/b]
Angelina?s walking with me, Angelina?s by my side
Angelina?s just a ghost now but she used to be my bride

[b]Bridge:[/b]
Angelina came to me in a wondrous, life-like dream
Her beauty was so hard and real I felt that I should scream
She said she?d found someone for me, the peaches to her cream
Angelina, Angelina

But Angelina?s looking hard and she?s made up her mind
There?s a dark haired girl somewhere, a girl she wants to find

Then a thumb runs up my spine

[b]5.[/b]
So here we are inside the bar, I guess its pretty full
A real good mix of Friday-nighters dressed and on the pull
But there?s one dark haired girl my age pressed in cotton wool
Angelina, Oh Angelina

[b]6.[/b]
I?m booted and I?m suited and I?m walking Sadie home
Her fingers tangle in my hair, followed by her comb
The way she looks inside me tells me that we will never roam
Angelina, Angelina?

[b]Chorus:[/b]
Angelina?s walking with me, Angelina?s by my side
Angelina?s just a ghost now but she used to be my bride
Angelina?s just a ghost now but she used to be my bride
Angelina?s just a ghost now but she used to be my bride

Oh good heavens! Wow Dai, I'm completely blown away … not just about the coincidence of my name in your song, but how wonderfully creative you are. I LOVE country music also, yay. My parents used to listen to it when I was just little so it always fills me with happy comforting thoughts.

Hand on heart, well done you!

I also found it quite strange that the number 1, 11 or 111 features alot … you first posted at 9.11pm, your lyrics post has had 111 views and I replied to you at 1.11pm. I just had to get out my Doreen Virtue "Angel Numbers" book to consult. Hope you don't think I'm weird, as I said before I'm into all things angelic.

Anyhow, 911 reads this: "your thoughts are manifesting into reality at an ever-quickening pace. Keep your thoughts about your Devine life purpose, focused only upon your desires, and give any worries or doubts to heaven for transmutation."

11 reads: "Pay attention to your repetitive thoughts and ideas, as they're answers to your prayers. This number also signifies a highly creative person who needs to avoid addictive behaviours."

111 reads: "An energetic gateway has opened for you, rapidly manifesting your thoughts into reality. Choose your thoughts wisely at this time, ensuring that they match your desires. Don't put any energy into thinking about fears at all, lest you manifest them."

I do hope you get a positive response from your agent with the book and that your creative juices continue to flow with your second book. As for the lyrics above, wow …. I'm totally loving them, its such a great story – Angelina sending you a new love with her blessing, ahhhhh, I'm a sucker for romance. What a lovely song Dai. Again, well done you.

Sending love and lots of positive energy your way
(the other) Angelina xx
