Forgotten and Then Found

about

Here’s another new original song! I’m absolutely on a roll so far this year, and I’m really enjoying this return of some artistic vitality. The harpsichord riff you hear at the beginning absolutely HAUNTED my brain for days and I’m so pleased with the song that came out of that. This one was more automatic than most of my songs have been in recent years.

Like last month, I will post a separate copy with the same audio this coming Friday, which will be public for one month. But you all get it first here.

lyrics

Could something be forgotten and then found again
Prized like a trophy on a shelf
Does beauty once it wanes ever bloom again
Will chaos ever learn to sort itself?

(It’s creeping, it’s creeping, it’s creeping up on me)
(it’s growing, it’s growing, it’s growing around me)

I found a ring of silver with a lapis stone
Deep in an old treasure box
I slid it on my finger as I stood, alone
And then I simply took it off

(it’s shining, it’s shining, still shining up at me)
(it’s simple, bit crooked, one stone between two leaves)

I put it on and felt nothing, no memory
But someone made it and someone gave it to me

I was forgotten
I would like to be found
Even if it’s only my hand that pulls me out

I was once as glamorous as Marilyn
(Be lovely, act sweetly, and you will be beloved)
I was once as casual as anyone
(Use your head, not in bed, you don’t want it enough)
Could someone be forgotten and then found again
(It’s creeping, it’s creeping, it’s creeping up on me)
Even one as plain as I am
(it’s growing, it’s growing, it’s growing around me)

I have learned
Not to ask for too much
Because it burns to reach and never touch

I was forgotten
I would like to be found
Even if it’s only my own hand that pulls me out

I would like to be found

A place of distinction: pinned like a butterfly
