Keep clicking the link... it'll do wonders for my stats. :P
I wouldn't give up learning the guitar; once learnt as an instrument it gives you so much more freedom to what you want than something like a violin. [/painful experience]

Ok people... we have another for you...
Very slow, with pretty big gaps in the middle of the lines. Crescendos on the chorus second line and the last line of the bridge. Solitary Rose You're not the only rose that ever grew And I'm not the only one to look upon you And I'd write poetry for you But you seem more like prose Naturally is how you grew, my Solitary Rose And maybe there's too much silence in what I say to you But if I've bever said I love you it's because I never needed to Chorus Eine kleine Brücke: You can come around my house Sanctuary for a while And you'll be forever late and I'll smile The winter sun shines across your face into my eyes You watch me turn away and you just smile and shut the blinds

Looks like just one song. I like it. Something about your songs, Janny, makes me think of Neil Diamond.

Thanks. They've been pinned down to being most like Nick Drake, but people have mentioned Neil Diamond... perhaps I should listen to him sometime.
Yes it is one song. I promise not to lable in German again.

And I promise not to be stupid again. Honest
The second part after the bridge just didn't seem to have anything to do with roses. Not your best lyrics ever... hope the tune is good

A youth pastor I knew always used to say "There are two kinds of people in the world: those that like Neil Diamond and those that don't." Of course I always say there really are only three kinds of people in the world: those that can count, and those that can't.

Can you post a link to your DA page? Don't forget, I can't listen to recordings, only read lyrics *smiles sweetly*

Huh? Anyway, thanks. I'll read and digest when I have time, but some initial comments:
- 'Solitary Rose' isn't a weak love song! It's great! - nice May morning picture... - you could say that 'something new' isn't a mistake because it's a noun phrase... just a suggestion - and dare I hint there may be a typo in this line of 'Satisfied Heart'? Quote:

What? What are you talking about? I'm talking of my love for a passionate statistician...

Really.
Tonight - Think of the front cover to Darkness in her Eyes (And it's a working title) You’ll escape the lens tonight, But you left your image on the world The evening star is under cloud tonight But it still shines here on the earth You walk along the shore now I bet you don’t even feel the cold The beach, the sea, the pier are grey now But you leave trails of gold I move to you, you step away You know where you belong tonight I wish I could for a moment capture you But you belong way beyond my eyes You walk out there Like you belong to the earth But something in you’s way beyond that sea-sky wall Inside the safety of the night You’ll escape the lens tonight But you left your image on the world You won’t escape my mind tonight I wouldn’t let you Not for the earth

You can come up with a better title than 'Tonight'... How about 'Escape the Lens'?
Hmm, that sounds like a political slogan ("beat the man!", "rock the vote!", "escape the lens")

Yes dear...
This is 'Nightblind'. It didn't make the cut of the last album, but I played it today and it really evoked a strong memory. As I think of it, 'played' is like 'stayed': a 'yed' ending, unlike 'laid' from 'lay' and 'said' from 'say'. I always mispelt 'payed' for 'paid' is all. Is it having two letters before the 'ay', you think? Oh yes, the song... In your arms, I feel your heart beat, I hear you breath I rest on you, I fall into everything I need Nightblind You rock me to sleep and you don't know you do it You are as you are, you lie in perfect peace Nightblind Nightblind. Nightblind. Entranced, my mind rests on you face Your eyes light up and you just smile back grace Nightblind You've no more beauty than beautiful, but you are peace And all the softness in your heart rest so much deeper than skin deep Nightblind. Nightblind. I rest on you, I fall into everything I need Nightblind

That's nice. Didn't you use the line "I feel your heart beat" in another song?
