Forbidden Love #albumcover for No, No, No #release #2022 #lorijeanfinnila

Image
 I'm working on picking out a cover for this single release love song. If I can't find a hot one of myself then I'm choosing between other artwork. Some samples are: Hot fire for the steamy feeling that you are having a hard time denying. Photo by  Pavel Danilyuk  from  Pexels With it having a Latin accent you have to have the dripping honey. Photo by  Jacek Jan Skorupski  from  Pexels Our romanticizing is as strong as the act. (probably wouldn't be able to use this one where it's not me and can get confusing) Photo by  cottonbro  from  Pexels This is like Oh my God!

How Fast Love Happens #nonono #rewrite #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #forbiddenlove

It's amazing how fast things happen: the first glance, word spoken, simple touch. We know inside this is love. It's meant to be. I was inspired to update this song by the actress's line in a movie titled "The Princess and The Marine" 'I was born in the wrong place.' Igor Shubin Photography Verse I say no though  that's not what I mean I want you, when I capture  your presence near me  Chorus I can't do or think what  I want to I was meant to never be this way I was born in the wrong place I was taught to say no Verse Time doesn't seem to have a place My mind keeps coming back to you Your words, your breath The way I watch you move Chorus I can't do or think what  I want to I was meant to never be this way I was born in the wrong place I was taught to say no Verse  I shudder when I see you leave Knowing I'll never see you again  Our worlds are miles apart Yet I feel you so close when I see your eyes I don't see any walls

"Singing You Lullabies" #newsong #singersongwriter #lorijeanfinnila

Image
  I wrote this for my daughter whom my ex felt he didn't want and I was too young to make the decision at 17 he felt, so he set me up and killed our baby in her second trimester. I think of her every day. Some men don't realize this is our baby; it has no connection of how we feel for them. Illustration courtesy of clip art library . Verse I’d climb so high with you watching you swing in a swing cherish your every move Please don’t ever think I never thought of these things with you Chorus I dream of singing you lullabies that will bring you comfort for the rest of your life though you may not have heard me I was singing them to you anyway Verse I think of them every day as though you are here though you never grew up my mind can’t go that far with this Chorus I dream of singing you lullabies that will bring you comfort for the rest of your life though you may not have heard me I was singing them to you anyway Verse I see your progression in life I relate to your every level of

 This is from "My Life's Journey" here that I changed the name and put a clip of it here after practicing the recording for my podcast for this song "Right Before My Eyes."  This is for the children that watch their mothers die, or are still sitting by their side while they try to recover from abuse.

Dancing In the Clouds #lorijeanfinnila #newsong #singersongwriter

Photo by Pcdazero at Pixabay. Verse It's hard to believe There's been a world like What we've been in (I have to keep slapping myself.) To feel free  Able to be alone With you so close Right next to me Dancing with the clouds It's still amazing to me Chorus I was your hero I couldn't walk  in bigger shoes Or climb any higher Dancing in the clouds Verse My mind sits in the clouds As images cast many Emotions in my mind Never forgetting You close to me Bridge Laying here Dancing in the clouds Dancing with the clouds A world that's made huge Before my eyes Chorus Verse I can't wait till next time We dance with the clouds I look so forward to these times When you and I were the closest When I felt the strongest Bridge Show me a life   bursting with hope A world to change us Bringing hope I was as high as I could be Chorus

  How Lucky I Am Image by  StockSnap  from  Pixabay   I count one two three   when I wake up feeling grateful to see the sun I look at my pleasurable surroundings I warm myself before I move cherish each step I take each time I raise my arm take a drink, one more day I will plan my time ahead see how much I can fit when I start to see black I’ll still be grateful that I can sleep tight in bed I won’t think if there’s one more day because I’m so tired I don’t know to think of this How lucky I am how lucky I am how lucky I am to be lost in such a beautiful space. repeat

My Life’s Journey Photo by  Daria Nekipelova  from  Pexels I can take your hand while you cry not knowing what to do I still stay by your side Your hour is long but I won’t mind I won’t even know the time that I’m here I see your pain I feel your heart beat so fast out of your chest as though you will die but you still breathe perhaps you are like a flower that ascends to the sky yet never dies just keeps growing right before my eyes please don’t leave me mom like I’ve seen you almost do so many times my times with you I don’t even count i just lay on my side and wait for you to awake that will be my life journey

"Broken Horse" #newsong #brokenspirit #dominoeffect #thosewithtalenttocommunicate #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

Image
 I think those of us that survive, feel the great need to express the story of the broken horse. Photo by  Vincent M.A. Janssen  from  Pexels Broken Horse lyrics Broken Horse Verse You’re taken down when u speak out the line starts at the cops with those arrested Those abused that speak out are warned Those arrested pick up the slack Ones that leave to bring strength are chased after to break their spirit Chorus Run free before you’re found before life tames you down like a broken horse Verse The steam that gurgles   as it drowns in our heads, our bodies takes its last breath sometimes comes out and survives from those who have a talent to communicate Chorus Verse The tree has been made from those that have made a deal rush in to carry on the domino effect of the broken spirit Chorus

 My doctor told me to push myself until it hurts or I'm going to die. I wrote this song on my process of getting better.

Turning the Unfavorable into a Positive #newsong "On a High Wire" #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

Image
"On a High Wire" at   Soundcloud From the deepest point of the edge I've been is where this came from.  I refused to take an unfavorable, conflicting day as a bad one and turned it into a great song. This is very rough. I used a Zoom USB mic and was in my living room while writing it at the same time. Image by  Aravind kumar  from  Pixabay "On a High Wire" Lyrics Up On a High Wire Verse You’ve got me everything you need to watch me walk high On that tightrope giving me a chance to show who I am Chorus Come watch me walk high like on a high wire I’ll be so good at me like never before Verse How long do I have before this is taken away before I have to walk wild come to me my thoughts the precious ones I have all I’ve been left with (where everything else has been taken) Chorus Verse I will sneak that fly while I have the moment when your heads turned the feeling to be alive and be me for one more time they don’t last long are always taken away before I finish my
