I wrote this song with some pals back in 2012.

I do all the lyrics and vocals.

https://youtu.be/mrwegx04uy0

Call Me The Dreamer - Miles Away

The sun has set and it's darkness that remains
A roaming ship sails upon the crashing waves
Weathered, and alone
The sailor has emerged and takes steps to the boats top deck
Disoriented and confused
overwhelmed with such pain, and such strife
That the sailor never stops to question
The very circumstances of life

X marks the spot
Of all the things the sailor seeks
But whats hidden inside that chest
Is anyone's guess it seems

And so the journey begins
But as the sailor sets sail
Pirates appear upon the horizon
Armed with cannons and a cut throat crew
And I stand here wondering if you've come to realize
that the sailor in this story, well, it's actually you

And through the smoke and the fire, as you sail to survive
You swear you hear the ocean screaming
"No one gets out alive!"

And as we sail to the unknown
an anchor pulls us to the bottom of the ocean floor

They've called me home! Out on the open sea!
Everything I've ever searched for seems to keep eluding me!
Where have I roamed? There's no land as far as I can see.

I'm so lost, will I be found?
Or will I search for an eternity?

Shipwreck, Shipwreck
I am lost at sea
This voyage has me stranded
And you're miles away from me

The waves have me
I fear I'll drown
No sight of you
No hope is found
Am I alone?
Where are you now?


‐----------------

The song is a metaphor or parable about the life experience that we all deal with. I wrote it from my perspective battling sin and trying to keep myself Christ centered all the while experiencing doubt and what I perceived at the time to be abandonment.

Of course! I hope someone enjoys it.

Our song 'Sleepwalkers' is probably our better track, but I still love that breakdown we do from the 3 min mark until the end of 'Miles Away'.

We also have a live show posted where yall can see my awkward self try and talk to a crowd. That’s actually why I quit doing it. The anxiety was so bad before shows that I’d hold myself up in the bathroom throwing up and shaking uncontrollably. It was something I never learned to manage.

- Everclear - Father Of Mine

This song reminds me of my past, who erased his memory, and psychologically tortured me to believe I was not him.

I still don't. I have theorized it recently. But it usually feels like rape to consider believing I'm him.

I feel u.

I'm not super into metal but ur music is great. I would say, say more with less, but I loved the two songs you did. Prescient.

It isn't our last chance.

This is our only chance.

I'm not saying to regret or fret.

Perfection, and absolutes. They're overrated. Someone will carry the torch when I'm done. You're done only when you're done.

Thank you for taking the time to listen and for the feedback! I agree that sometimes I can get a bit too wordy and could definitely work on 'saying more with less' .
