My mild brain injury from anesthesia during a routine procedure in 1990 led me to the beauty to my music from natural foods, yoga exercising and other forms of exercise, and spiritual connecting. It's here to be inspired by my music and a bit of conversation.

"Cries Too Far" #newsong #lyrics #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #fate #never #measured
I came up with this from a few songs I've already written but not professionally distributed, "Those Unseen," "Am I Awake," and a new one I had been working on. I had originally used a loop from Martin Minor at Minor2Go music for "Those Unseen." I like how it goes to this as well where I can just change the pitch for a chorus. He did the loop so beautifully. I have to look for it again tomorrow.
These flowers are withered but they've learned to grow hard.

Cries Too Far
Verse
I hear cries and screams
I said pray, hold on
beg or plead
look far outside comfort
Chorus
Cries too far
from the mind
their fate never
measured
in weight
Verse
We fight to keep this quiet
why do we do this
Our cries are never seen
Chorus
Cries too far
from the mind
their fate never
measured
in weight
Verse
Our body becomes a machine to reconstruct
Our mind never learned
to heal or cope
Bridge
Injuries become a measurement in weight
when the cries come up
to be determined its fate
It's too late
Chorus
Cries too far
from the mind
their fate never
measured
in weight
Cries too far from the mind
Verse
Those unseen are left behind
far from the mind
scars are seen
way to late
Our cries are too far from the mind
Their fate never measured
Chorus
Cries too far
from the mind
their fate never
measured
in weight
Cries too far from the mind
Cries too far

Lyrics and Recording to #newsong "Underwater" by #lorijeanfinnila #convulsions #underwater
I was thought of as incomprehensible ever since a toddler because of my convulsions. I sit here today and cry from missing my mom and dad's funeral running from the hectic in my life.
Underwater at SoundCloud
Lyrics
Verse
I saw you looking at me
So peculiar
You thought I didn't see
My way to you
My way here
Chorus
Though I looked underwater
I could hear everything around me
I tried to tell you mom
So many times
Verse
Mother would sleep and not see
Father would panic frantically
When he'd see my face on the cover
Of a rock n roll album
Chorus
Though I looked underwater
I could hear everything around me
I tried to tell you mom
So many times
Verse
Dad would still buy the records
Mom would still play the music
As I plucked for you
Stared at you
Barely speaking
Bridge
I knew the chords I was playing
Even though they made no sense to you
I was riding down the hall to save alla
In my red fire engine
My rocking horse was the last to know
You'd tell me mom not to go so fast
I'd rock more and end up out the window
Chorus
Though I looked underwater
I could hear everything around me
I tried to tell you mom
So many times
Underwater
I looked underwater
To you so many times
I tried to tell you I was really here
I can still hear the doctors saying
I'm underwater
Underwater to you
Chorus
Though I looked underwater
I could hear everything around me
I tried to tell you mom
So many times
