Some love is like a gentle breeze, some, like a cold hard rain. And in some cases, it's like a tornado, fast, furious, destroying everything in it's path. Even so, it is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all. Female Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Folk
Very visual and poetic, this song has a dreamy hypnotic quality. It's the story of two people riding on a train and their private thoughts about each other. Rhythmic, upbeat song about the hope of love. Sound effects reminiscent of a rocket ship. Alternative title to this song: Rocket, Female Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Pop Singer-Songwriter
We've all put everything on the line and lost at times. Perhaps we've gambled on a "sure bet" and it wasn't all that. It doesn't have to break us - with perseverance and will we can overcome obstacles and survive anything. Female Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Indie Singer-Songwriter
Sometimes in life we can't quite explain or communicate with our loved ones as well as we wish we could. A analogy drawn between painting and loving. Loss, miscommunication, trying to explain how we feel when words are not enough - It's like painting with watercolors in the rain. Female Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, New Acoustic
A road trip back to where the memories were sweet and time stands still. A trip to that little shack by the ocean where love bloomed and nostalgia draws you back over and over again. A little bit of the Ventures and a whole lot of the Bangles. Do you hear the ocean call? Female Vocals, Rock, 60s Rock
Sometimes love is like a childs game of hide and seek. We have to look in many places, expend tons of energy, to find the right one for us. A playful look at the "chase" of new love or hopeful love. It is a fun look into how life and love are indeed a game. Female Vocals, Indie Rock, Indie Pop
