"The Force Comes Again" song clip #newsong #lorijean

I just added some lyrics to the song clip that I've been working on. I think it's neat and almost sounds like a new genre for me but I feel it's more of modern country.

Changes to "Are We Just Playing" #newsong #lorijean "The Force Comes Again"

I got cute into it and even changed the name.

The Force Comes Again

What have we got here

what's going on dear

You come and play

What's going on here

what do we have dear

are we just playing

What have we got

when I shut the door

At first glance

I see your dance

Come play longer

longer with me

Chorus

but then the force comes again

driving us back

where we came from

Is there more

in the morning after

I've escaped the dangerous lunges

coming from others

are we just playing here

the beautiful eyes look scared to see you

Chorus

but then the force comes again

driving us back

where we came from

So tell me now

in the crowd

am I on your mind

as I sway trying to balance on my feet

you cry, we don't know where the call goes to

Chorus

but then the force comes again

driving us back

where we came from

Do I make your head spin.....

come home to me

to the unknown

we return to familiar ground

until the new force appears again

spitting up in the air through holes

the dispositions show to fight

for existence

or one may appear

forward and strong

the other wounded and whimpered

Chorus

but then the force comes back again

we turn around

and head for home

This is the beginning of a song I'm working on.

What's have we got here

what's going on dear

You come and play

What's going on here

what do we have dear

are we just playing

peek a boo

What have we got

when I shut the door

Is there more

the morning after

Come play longer

with me

so I can see

What's going on here

what do we have dear

are we just playing

peek a boo

So tell me now

do I fit the crowd

am I on your mind

when I'm not around

Do I make your head spin.....

Changes to "Make All the Noise You Want" #christmasgift #lorijean

Make All the Noise You Want

I'm here for you

no matter how many tears

it doesn't matter if you want me to

I'm sitting here right next to you

It's been many years

I want you to know

I've been there too

make all the noise you want

I'm sitting right here

right next to you

make all the noise you want

I'm listening too

Mine's much worse

I've seen it all before

doesn't give me any answers

I can ponder the whole night through

and never find my way

I'm sitting right here

right next to you

make all the noise you want

I've seen it too, oh so many, many times

too many times

I keep a diary

it doesn't help

my phone's cold

I'm reaching out

social links get old

Make all the noise you want

I'm sitting right here

right next to you

listening too

End.

Here's a gift:

Mary Miglin Ginseng Body Cream #pain #nerves #back #relaxation

I found something else I wanted to share with you for those with those unfortunate injuries put upon you that you didn't do to yourself. It's a ginseng cream. I put it on those curved and straight laser, assumably, injuries cut into my back (no signs of entry-just as the gunshot wound to my head-bullet could still be in there, felt bone pieces in my head after wards) and I felt the injuries light up just like a bengay would but no icky smell and more of a relaxed feeling. I could actually get up out of bed without hobbling the next day from being stationary for so long. I also take a very inexpensive ginseng pill and found an extremely cheap chamomile cream that I put, along at times with the ginseng cream, behind my ears and behind my neck, the chamomile at times in my temple points, and both on feet for all day relaxation. Also an acidophilus at the dollar tree helps with digestion for those with many holes and cracks in your skull from beatings. The bad stuff  swirling around in these areas goes to your stomach and makes you sick - this helps. I have been using a tea with this and ginger in it as well for those of you who have more money. luv ya

"You Have the Wrong Girl" song composition #lorijean #youhavethewronggirl #song

Update on this post: This is the finished song. You Have the Wrong Girl by Lori Jean and being played by Spain's This Is Only Rock Radio Station.


Hello,

I decided to use a composition which I posted previously, but I fixed it a lot with the gain. It sounds better now. I practiced the lyrics to "You Have the Wrong Girl" and feel I have them lined up beautifully. Now all I have to do is save up to buy the interface and mic. I can find a nice inexpensive one that will work fine. I'm planning in the early spring, late winter to purchase these. I will produce this song next year. I hope this follows along with my theme of sharing my story and my feelings with you that I promised. It's kick ass. We gotta do it right??!! luv ya

Lyrics Again to Song so you can follow along in your own way. Perhaps listen in and see where you'd put the lyrics in the song. Cheat, I start at fifteen seconds in.

You Have the Wrong Girl

By 'Lori Jean' Finnila

Humble turns to confusion

Sweet smiles become allusions

Chorus

It's your fantasy

Not me

You have the wrong girl

I was just passing by

Verse

When you noticed

I didn't look

Though it may seem to you

Your war is not with me

Chorus

It's your fantasy

Not me

You have the wrong girl

I was just passing by

Verse

It all became clear

You never knew me

It was your mind

Hoping to be found

Sorry for your loss

Bridge

Your pain

Is lost in life

I hope you get better for everyone

Chorus

It's your fantasy

Not me

You have the wrong girl

Aids to My Nerve and Back Pains #glucosamine #msm #chondroitin #music #merry #lorijean #highfunctioning

Ok, so my Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM Plus double strength, advanced and quick release, has been kicking in. I got it from PipingRock.com for those of you needing it for your injuries - I'm sure there's many. I couldn't even walk hardly a couple of days ago when I had to struggle with the heavy loads of food trying to get it home. I had been taking some extra strength tylenol, generic, and refuse to smell of bengay when someone has done this to me. My mind gets stronger so it feels the ripped nerves, damaged muscles, and the least, the cracked back bone across where my abuser kept separating with a knife - I don't care how he did it, it still has an impact. This quick release pill is the deal. I wouldn't suggest a different one because I need the fast acting so I can keep up my pace.

I'm pretty spry and singing definitely keeps my body rolling like a smooth machine being greased to its originality. Along with the extra greasing of these pills, with singing this is workable. I've been taking extra collagen, fish oil pills, and flax seed oil pills. My insurance covers a lot of these. I want to suggest if you're low on money, the dollar tree will carry a lighter version of a lot of these. For a few dollars a month you can have serious relief and function normally enough in your brain until you find the best option for yourself. I know I can't live without the glucosamine. It helps where my head has been hit so many times after a few days without it I could have seizures. So thanks to my music on my merry way!!

My many greats grandmother's Crest, Grandma Jeanne Rouleau, who married Nicolas Baillargeon, whom I was named after. My mom was very close to Rose Brule, my great grandmother on my dad's side, her mom Jane St. Laurent, her mom, Zoe Baillargeon.

Maybe my great grandfather was called a cult because we had royalty killed in our family in France in the 1500's, Rouleau and Baillargeon, and repeated in marriage, same names, in the New France, in the 1600's.

The Cult by Lori Jean Finnila (Rated R) #movie #finnila

The Cult

Synopsis

1897' 

A club is formed. Ancestors came from out of the woods of St. Zenon, Canada two to three for the formation. Parties were merry in the club. Children non related began to disappear.

Flash forward to Present.

An affair erupts in one of the cult's loving families. Deceit and lies lead to one of their own unborn ending up in a garbage basket for the cult. The baby's blood is celebrated. The repercussions are insurmountable. It's found out that the baby was of blood and murdered by their own. The grandfather finds out his daughter was always his and that his grandchild was the one murdered. He takes the planned hit for his daughter but too early in another crossfire before telling everyone of the triangle of deceit and vengeance committed upon her was a mistake. He falls on steps in dismay. His daughter reaches to his hand by his side in his hospital bed as he fights for his life in a coma. The nurses keep her away planned by the authority friends of the cult. The father screams out inside himself  to reach to her. She runs continuously trying to reach to him. It's what is done now that changes to this.

Love by Lori Jean #thelittlegirlinthemirror #isabelle #thoughi'moneless

Poem 'Love' by Lori Jean

Dedicated to Isabelle (Though I'm One Less) and the little girl in the mirror

Love is the wrapping paper
the candy cane on the table
the candle never knowing when it will be lit
the love sign that is a gift.

It's the restless winds that blows outside my window
a TV made of cubes
ice trays bare because they don't exist
dogs barking that await,
pain that is restless another night.

Love keeps you guessing
it grows with you
it pleases
it teases
you never know where it leads.

Love is confusing, mysterious, and challenging.
It lies sometimes within us
sometimes beside us
sometimes inside where we haven't asked of it.

To some love means no answers
only questions already answered
to those who disposition
or suppose it is to be a certain way.

Love can be gay, queer in some ways
the colors to this don't matter.

It's clay that molds us on the rocks
with bubbles to the sea
to turn to foam and wash away
to be remembered.

                                         The year I lost Isabelle.

The little girl who still cries in pain.

I'm Here Virginia Woolf!! #rescuing #savingthemessage #lorijean

I happened to come upon Virginia's message and the need to relate it:

A Woman Hero to Look Upon

by 'Lori Jean' Finnila

Virginia Woolf feels we have no tradition to draw on.

“Whereas the females are basically without a tradition to draw upon,” by Virginia in 1929.

At this moment it made me want to sweep and make this feeling known, or to have a feeling opposite to this. I felt quick in my mind at that moment contrary to this. Though the answers don't come in form, I feel positive it's there-of course in my state this is ordinary. I just need to find it.

I feel here:

1. is this tradition to draw from
2. it's so clear, you can't see it
3. it has to come from me to clear up any confusion
4. it's a repertua of healing, perhaps always been there, but from me as well, it could be.

I think it's mind. The strongest. Though it doesn't stop physical pain, ordinarily-though I'm one known to this, it appears to move mountains in our minds. The strongest objects that seem to be where it places us with security. I have reiterated this for you, Virginia.

Getting On Little Doggy #lorijean #pain #nervedamage

Those who are beaten with a strong brain will just get right back on there again, get on again little doggy.

Another barrier to break is natural treatment for those who have been beaten that will get right back up on that horse, so to speak. Traditional medicines block us from doing this dragging our perspectives down. I've been inquiring into this as seven years going by and the physical discomforts of mine seeping in as my brain gets stronger to it. Insurance doesn't want to cover it and doctors feel uncomfortable with cannabis, which is a recent method of medical that I've been researching, effective done with care. Why if there's so many victims out there haven't other alternative methods been recognized and practiced and covered?

Having Fun with This One!!! Redo of "How's I Such a Fool" #lorijean #country

Did this one over and combined the two songs for a BLAST of one using "Under the Moonlight with a Bottle of Wine" and "How's I Such a Fool!"

Have fun listening to it! It's just a draft and not in time exactly of course because I don't have an interface right now. Get the lyrics!!!

How's I Such a Fool

Under the Moonlight with a Bottle ofWine

Lyrics Below

I've been working on my next releases. I still have “You Didn't Even Want Our Baby” album in progress. Please don't think I'm forgetting about that. As a matter of fact, “How's I Such a Fool” is one of the songs on the album, and one of my favorites. I ended up picking this one to work on next as well as the single Under the Moonlight with a Bottle of Wine, which was inspired by Five for Fighting's “She's My Girl,” because I found “My Best Country Song” didn't have strong enough lyrics. I really feel that this is imperative in a song. Even if the music is good, I think great lyrics are very much needed. The order, the story, and the way you want the audience to perceive it. I hope you like the updates. I will be getting a focus rite for my computer. It sounds a bit poopy now, but I know your used to my style and can appreciate my work at any stage. Thanks!!! Mwah!!! Love ya!!

P.S. Also, I have a BEAUTIFUL jade green gown for my red carpet award celebration in April. Wish I could see you there. It goes great with my eyes and shows my bust nice. It's a bit long but if I wear slightly uncomfortable heels that have boot effect and a bigger heel and braids I'll make the PART for “Is It the Time!!!” Haven't figured out what I'll do with my purse of casual outfit or dress bag before the celebration. I'm hoping to get a hotel room to store it all. Not sure what time the show will start for this. I was going to fly in right before. Maybe I'll bring a small purse and fly in my gown – buy a cheap pair of pants and shirt afterwards??!!!

Also, check out my “Ashes on My Cup” video if you haven't already seen it.

How's I Such a Fool

by Lori Jean Finnila

Verse

That first night in the field

Under the moonlight

Van Morrison was playing our song

Chorus

How's I such a fool

When you crashed me to the ground

With the words I love you

still in my head

While I was being thrown

Verse

But then your bike crashed

me to the ground

it started out on our first date

on a horse

the bike man at the store

saw me panting as you gave

me a push to get back on for more

Chorus

Verse

The second time around

It came from a car

Though I took the spin with my neck

You took the money for whiplash

Bridge

You fell on your knees to me

as I was put upon a thrown

The ring you gave me

shown through the entire night

Chorus

doo doo da doo da doo da

repeat

doo doo da doo da doo da

Under the Moonlight with a Bottle of Wine

by Lori Jean Finila

Verse

You've found your wet dreams

when you think of me

You call me on the phone

remembering our song

the one we never had

Chorus

I was told to love Valentino

Live like Cinderella

Under the moonlight

with a bottle of wine

Verse

You fell on your knees to me

As I was put upon a thrown to all beings

The ring you gave me

shown through the entire night

Bridge

Drifting lovely like a fall

I made the completion

to it all

You say,

“Flower still,

be still inside of me,

under the sheets,

in the chair,

cornered everywhere.”

Six lines shaped like church organ pipes

shine shadows on my breasts at night

The dips point to the corners in me

where you shine most gently

Chorus

I was told to love Valentino

Live like Cinderella

Under the moonlight

with a bottle of wine

New Version of Song "Under the Moonlight with a Bottle of Wine" by 'Lori Jean' Finnila and a New Poem

Under the Moonlight with a Bottle of Wine

Those Who Wait

by 'Lori Jean' Finnila

Comfort collects with the touch of glass

glistening isn't just for one but for all

sparkles dance and bring gesture

For it is all known to substance

Substance in the air is direction

to the following of a gesture

that is life to some

but not all, to some despair

Despair is in the hearts of the unknown

one's who can't understand what is happening

or what is there to begin with

A grace is a place that is not owned

An enchantment is a pleasure

that is to all

One takes pleasures originally

It all comes to those who wait.

“Under the Moonlight with une Bouteille De Vin” Play

by Lori Jean Finnila

A MODERN FAIRY TALE IN THE 1800'S

Inspired by true events.

Details have been changed.

INTRODUCTION

There once was a half French and half Scottish girl, young and brave. Coming from a long line of prostitutes from her ancestors, and her great grandpa and grandma getting married at ages 10 and 11 because of pregnancy, Linda was chosen as a breed to royalty aside from this, and to eventually take her from this. She fought hard for herself in a land unknown to her, in a land not wanting her. But in her land there were great fights to her people that was moving in on her. She was the last to their royal blood, well bred and chosen at 15 months of age, she was separated by her wicked mother and family.

New Poem "Cat in the Wall" by Lori Jean Finnila #poems #lorijean #lorijeanfinnila #songs

My poems eventually turn to songs by part or whole. "My thoughts are my gifts." Lori Jean Finnila

Cat in the Wall

A trapped cat inside of a bag

needs holes to breathe.

Hearing this first thing in the morning

is disturbing.

Was it in my attic?

I looked to see if I had one

I knew I didn't

I had to retrace my mind.

My fear for this cat persisted

on the toilet

in my mind

in the wall

Can a hat hide in the wall?

More importantly, can someone

put a cat in the wall?

Now...

how wide is the wall?

Is there an opening?

Is there another area of the building

that hides cats?

Aah, I see it in the courtyard.

New Poem "A New Cycle of Life" by Lori Jean Finnila #lorijean #lorijeanfinnila #poems

New Poem and Updated One

10/19

A New Cycle of Life

by Lori Jean Finnila

The horns are blowing to the sky fold

innocence is crushed below.

Screaming, peeks through the night

I can see from eight floors up.

Those crawling, begging, pleading

wishing they were where you are.

Tap, tap, tap

rattle, rattle, rattle

it brings

uncertainty.

Prays and yelps from the church

swings that bring new delight

the whale calls

stomp, chuckle

tap, tap, chuckle

tap, tap again

a smile begins.

The wind moves with no explanation

it's strong

shook my windows last night

I feared the cold.

The trees at the tops blow around

pointed buildings blend with the rain

tap, tap again

the man below smiles.

The Crazy Sun Shines

Poems by Lori Jean Finnila

1rst

the trees,

brash with leaves

they will not fly away

tonight

chocolate sprinkles are sweet

small, poignant

are they

crisp

delight is ecstasy

corners are sharp

edges are dull

circles are round

Wheels turn

The morning breaks

Thumps on the roof

Remind me of this

Cars, trucks

Or at least motors

Rustle in the streets

Slacks of sheets so slick

Take the air

Sand dumps

Engines roar

Another city morning

^2nd

Flower still

be still for me

under the sheet

cornered on the chair

Your pink and white

blue, dark green

detailed crisp

shadowed by edges

cornered by rounds

enveloped in some

grayish at times

drifting lovely

below like a fall

the completion at the end

jumps up again

3rd

three lines cross six

though the third

is a quarter of the way here

the second is half

the third almost full shown

but separated by a fourth

that shows at the bottom

six show like church pipes

the dip points

to the corner window

as the sun shines in

"Under the Moonlight with Riunite" by 'Lori Jean' Finnila #newsong #single #lorijean #lorijeanfinnila

My second song. My second song I found out of anguish to finish a degree with high honors that I've been hiding attaining. One that offers me much torture to attain because of the high marks that have been found out about since my move. I say my second song because the full expression of my art in lyrics is seen in “She Finds the Chords Herself” that I gave to Ned Euphorya to compose for me and is the first gift of full expression. And I had such a hard time forming the words to such magical thoughts that I had mapped out in my book “The Virtuous Woman.” Now because I've come pass the process of death, murder actually, of my unborn child at 17 at 5 months pregnant, thinking of her first and then writing, I show my gifts more, hopefully in full, I feel now not always thinking of her subconsciously and never reaching the full extent of my gifts. I had a hard time letting go of the first song – but I don't want to die a Van Gogh or other famous artists discovered after death. So I don't hold my gifts now when I know they've come to me in full and tell my famous story in my head how it will be, I make it happen now. This is worth fighting for.

Though some may, and I hate it, when you write assume a standpoint in it and that they're being longed for, or something outside of the writing. It stands for my love of life at those times, sometimes being when I was abused. It's also at a point of being able to pass by them in my walks and acknowledge that I'm doing this.

So excited to be announcing my hair sponsor - the first sponsor booked. I will be announcing others as they come up. The event isn't until April 19th of next year but I'm working hard to look my best and represents myself and my fans that way as well. I want it to be a princess night to remember. I've been thinking about designers and already contacted my lifelong dream of one - waiting to hear!? I will let you all know more.

Much love.

"You Didn't Even Want Our Baby" Updated Lyrics #lorijean #youdidntevenwantourbaby

I just watched "Woman in Gold" and it made me want to revise my song

You Didn't Even Want Our Baby by Lori Jean Finnila

It was 10/31/78

One dark Halloween day

You took me from school

All the fun parties and everything I knew

You drove me to one dark tall building

Statuesque but dark 

Filled with other little girls

There might only be one

Maybe three

But I know someone will thank me for my empathy

There's no statutes on pain

One woman is many crying in vein

Of our rights to our bodies lost one day

Chorus

You weren't there 

When I'd talk about the baby's hair 

What he or she would wear

Baby You Didn't Even want our baby

Verse

She ended up in a barrel instead

When I was bolted down by two men

I cry myself to sleep now

So many nights when I see my hair and your eyes in my baby 

When she comes to me

I was only a virgin and you took my dream away

Bridge

Though I was drunk

One too many came from you 

Yelling at me not to make too much noise when I was young 

The balloon to keep you from me

Still didn't let me know 

How much you didn't love me

Chorus

Verse

Now many years later my back aches 

I crawl on the floor from those I let beat me

Some say you weren't a full man then

Yet you were of age when

The blame was put out on me for

Ever lovin' you or letting you shine your light my way

Chorus

Baby, I was just a little girl and I'm still in bereavement.
