Magical Moment 112, "How?"

Man, this blog is really gonna force me to put all my songs out there. Some are better quality than others. All are a work in progress. Here is one I started writing years ago, but only finished recently. Recording is a bit rough, but hope you enjoy. Click play at the bottom to hear recording.

“How”
Words and music by Elizabeth Grimes copyright 2009
Vs 1:
The first question asked when something goes wrong
Is, What have I done? Or, Why me God?
I can’t deny the thought’s crossed my head.
But what’s burning me up is another question instead.

Chorus:
How do you change overnight when you swore that you’d love me for the rest of my life?
And how do I make it through the night without you here to hold me and be by my side?
And how do I trust again when you’ve broken every promise and word you’ve ever said?
Just tell me how feelings that strong can be so convincing and then go all wrong?

Vs 2:
I would have bet my life that you’d still be here
When I’m old and I’m gray in fifty or more years.
You swore up and down you’re love was secure
Til I finally was at ease and you made me fee sure.
There’s just one thing you didn’t explain
And I’d like to know, if it’s not too much pain.

Chorus:
How do you change overnight when you swore that you’d love me for the rest of my life?
And how do I make it through the night without you here to hold me and be by my side?
And how do I trust again when you’ve broken every promise and word you’ve ever said?

Bridge:
I’m begging for answers so answer me please.
If I could just read your mind to put mine at ease.

Chorus:
How do you change overnight when you swore that you’d love me for the rest of my life?
And how do I make it through the night without you here to hold me and be by my side?
And how do I trust again when you’ve broken every promise and word you’ve ever said?
Just tell me how feelings that strong can be so convincing and then go all wrong?

Repeat and fade

Magical Moment 620, "Lilac Garden"

Eddie and I visited the Lilac Gardens at Ringwood Manor in New Jersey, a pristine and beautiful state park with 8 species of lilacs and several varieties within. We went on a rainy afternoon, which turned out perfect because the rain stopped for us when we got there, and began again as soon as we left. It also decorated the plants with gorgeous rain drops, adding to their beauty.  And now for a quick game of "Where's Elizabeth?" And "Where's Eddie?" ~~Have a great weekend! ~~

Magical Moment 625, "Thailand - the Elephants"

Needless to say, my favorite part of our Thailand vacation, was our week long volunteering at  Elephant Nature Park ! The logging industry was banned in Thailand in 1989, leaving thousands of elephants unemployed. These elephants are now used for tourism. You may have heard of elephant shows featuring the animals playing soccer or painting pictures with their trunks. They are no doubt amazing to watch, but the sad truth is that these elephants have gone through a series of torture and abuse to "break their spirit" by their trainers. This short clip is very hard to watch, but it will give you an idea of what the elephants in captivity in the country of Thailand go through. The only elephants in Thailand who do  not  endure this, are the very few baby elephants who are first generation born in "safe captivity" at places like Elephant Nature Park. Every other elephant at this park has been brutally abused. Some have been blinded by their owners, le

Magical Moment 606, "Thank You Canada!"

After an intense week as a participant in the  Musician's Mentorship Program  with Canada's National Ballet School in Toronto, I am back in the good ol' US of A. The trip was a success, not only did I learn a TON in the program, but I got to see Canada for the first time, increasing my number of countries visited to 3! (Mexico and South Korea, if you're wondering about the other 2). I was surrounded by incredibly talented musicians who didn't hesitate to dish out their best advice, tips, and secrets to me. In addition, I was surrounded by some beautiful scenery and amazing sights. The trip got even better when Eddie flew out to meet me half way through the week, and even BETTER when I was able to meet up with a friend, known only through the blogosphere until now. Yes ladies and gentlemen,  Hilary of The Smitten Image  herself happens to live only minutes from where I resided in Toronto. I admit, it was a little like meeting a celebrity. I first "met" Hi
