Music Monday – Lovesong (The Way) [feat. Bluets] – Charlie Burg

Posted on by Calista

Heyoo peeps! Happy Monday…is it odd that I can’t even remember much of last week’s Monday? …nahhh, it was probably just not that rememberable. Do you guys remember your last Monday?

Anyway, moving past my spotty memory, Music Monday is hosted by Drew at The Tattooed Book Geek. All you have to do is share one of your favorite song and it’s lyrics every Monday, and it’s open to anyone to do!

Today’s song is, “Lovesong (The Way)” from Charlie Burg. I just absolutely love it, it’s been playing on repeat and has been added to practically all my Spotify playlists. It feels old fashioned in a classical sort of way, like the kind of song that’d be played on vinyl from one of those old gramophone record players.

🎤✨ Lovesong (The Way) – Charlie Burg ✨💿

Sadly, there is no music video 😦
[Verse 1]
Why is your voice so sonically pleasing
To me?
I can't figure it out
Slight undertones of sadness
While you tell me you're gonna leave
I cannot bear to see you smiling
In that picture with your friends
I could go on about your smile
It's so grand

[Chorus]
But you take your time
My love
Don't ever tell me that it just takes time
To love
As long as I'm writing this song about your loveliness
Is it too much to ask
For a reply?
Or a text?
Or a way to tell you love me like before?

[Verse 2]
Now you're away with nothing to say
My heart aches like never before
Filled with desire
You've inspired me to write another verse
I think we're alone now
You can tell me it was all just, just a game
Yes, we're alone now
But the feeling's slightly changed
[Chorus]
But you take your time
My love
Don't ever tell me that it just takes time
To love
As long as I'm writing this song about my love for you
Is it too much to ask
For a reply?
Or a text?
Or a way to tell you love me like before?

[Bridge]
In your eyes I see something
I don't want to hear, oh
In your eyes I see poems and novels, short stories
I don't want to hear, oh
But you tell me anyway, anyway, woah

[Chorus]
You take your time
My love
Don't ever tell me that it just takes time
To love
As long as I'm writing this song about your loveliness
Is it too much to ask
For a reply?
Or a text?
Or a way to tell you love me like before? (x2)
Or a way to tell you love me

Until we meet again….

Music Monday: Have We Met Before – Sarah Barrios (with Eric Nam)

Posted on by Calista

Bonjour! I hope you peeps are having a good Monday! It’s Sunday as I’m writing this but I’m hoping for a good Monday. I have French first thing so we’ll see how that goes.

Anyway, as always Music Monday is hosted by Drew at The Tattooed Book Geek. All you have to do is share one of your favorite song and it’s lyrics every Monday, and it’s open to anyone to do!

Today’s song is “Have We Met Before” by Sarah Barrios with Eric Nam. I’ve been playing this song on repeat, I love their vocals. This is the first song I’ve heard from Sarah but I’ve heard Eric before. They’re both amazing!! Highly recommend you look at both of their previous works.

🎶✨ Have We Met Before – Sarah Barrios ✨🕰

You sat down right at the corner of my table
I don’t know what it is but swear I'm feeling deja vu
Black cup of coffee and a book you’re skimming over
You’re a stranger but feel closer and when I'm lookin at you

PRE-CHORUS
Swear I feel you in my memory
I think I’ve seen you in dreams
Maybe you and I have history
But I don’t think you know me

CHORUS
Have we met before
Maybe In another life I knew you
Maybe if I try ill see right through you
And ill remember who we were
Have we met before
Maybe in another
time I loved you
Maybe you’re the one that I would run to
I don’t no why its all a blur
I think I know you

VERSE
I sat down right at the corner of your table
For some reason I thought maybe we had been right here before
Cant concentrate I just keep reading the same pages
And I don’t know how to say it but I wanna (know you more)

PRE-CHORUS
swear I feel you in my memory
I think ive seen you in dreams
Somehow you and I have history
But I don’t think you know me

CHORUS
Have we met before
Maybe In another 
life I knew you
Maybe if I try ill see right through you
And ill remember who we were
Have we met before
Maybe in another time I loved you
Maybe you’re the one that I would run to
I don’t no why its all a blur
I think I know you

Until we meet again…

Fun Friday: Unfinished Poems

Posted on by Calista

Hi! Look at me, I managed to get out two posts, better than last week. I also got today off from school, so I guess that probably helped me. Anyway, Happy 🍟 day!! I’m having a great day, I went to a meeting online and finished up some of my homework. I’ve been very productive today and now I’m vibing to music while writing this. I hope y’all (hmm…feels weird to type that) have had a good day too.

So, since I haven’t written a full blown out poem in a while I figured why not share the fragments I’ve written. These are the stanzas that haven’t been finished, lines that have been floating in my book, and poems that have yet to be polished off. I still plan to use these lines, I just haven’t found the perfect words for them yet.

I hope you enjoy the mess that is my writing process. 🙂

Words >>>>

Days are like
Driving down a suburban street 
Where all the houses look the same
I am at that age
Ya know the one colleges look at 
(weirdos) 
Well...I'm terrified 
and I mean truly terrified 
that no college will accept me
I am made of my memories 
and yet on paper, colleges do not care
about my pet rock from kindergarten 
it helped me out a lot i swear!
it's not healthy 
staying up late
crying to music
staring at homework
but since when was being a teenager healthy? 
I talked with on of my friends recently
About facades and appearances 
You have a voice that makes words sound like poetry
Their favorite color is red 
and suddenly mine is too
To be called...
Iridescent
Effervescent

That's what I dream of

Well… that’s all I have for now folks. I think it’s fairly apparent what most of these fragments are about or could be about so I decided to not really explain them since I almost never explain my poems. But, I’m definitely going to try and finish some of theses so be on the look out.

Until we meet again…stay safe ❤

Music Monday: How Lovely – Reinaeiry

Posted on by Calista

Heyyyyy. Sorry I haven’t posted in a hot minute, last week was my first full week of school and I’m a mess. But, here I am today :T Let’s see if I can keep up posting on Mondays at least since I have no new poems 😦

Anyway, Music Monday is hosted by Drew at The Tattooed Book Geek. All you have to do is share one of your favorite song and it’s lyrics every Monday, and it’s open to anyone to do!

Today’s song is “How Lovely” by Reinaeiry; have I mentioned how much I love Reinaeiry’s songs and covers? No? Okay… maybe I have but I really can just go on forever about her songs, they are ✨ amazing ✨. I’ll probably end up posting more of her songs someday but for now I hope you enjoy “How Lovely!”

🎤✨ How Lovely – Reinaeiry ✨💕

Oh my gods,
This can’t be happening
Hit me faster than a bolt of lightning
She’s got me wrapped around her little finger
Cupid’s made a mistake and pulled the trigger
On the wrong set of girls
I don’t want to admit it but they’ve made a mistake
By pairing me with her
I’d really prefer 
Anybody else.

I don’t like the way
She smiles with her eyes
The way that the blue
reminds me of the skies
I really just hate
Leaving it to fate
Cause look where I’ve landed
Your arms and I’m stranded

Oh, and I know 
It’s inevitable to feel
Oh, and I pray
That she doesn’t hear my heart
Cause that’ll give me away
Oh!
I tried not to notice
The way that she makes me feel
Every touch, every look, every day
But wait…
Oh.

How lovely,
How lucky I must have been
To be at the right place, at the right time
For some higher power to start their design
Oh!
A complicated mess of feelings
A look thrown my way
Just sends me reeling
What is this feeling?
I don’t know just yet

Why me, Why now, Why her
Why does she make my heartbeat flutter
And why do I like it so much?
Oh and when she smiles,
I feel a little tingle in my chest
And at this point I’m really hoping it’s a heart attack
‘Cause I’m not supposed to feel this way
I’m the hunter, she’s the prey
I’m falling deeper everyday,
I try to stop but there’s no way!
Oh no! Oh
And I can’t help but to wonder

How lovely,
How lucky I must have been
To be at the right place, at the right time
For some higher power to start their design
Oh!
A complicated mess of feelings
A look thrown my way
Just sends me reeling
What is this feeling?
Oh, what is this feeling!
Woah!

Love you all and until we meet again…
