"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

The Best Place #newsong #lyrics #lorijeanfinnila #hot

 

The Best Place

I'm hot

my mind is not

in the right place

You're not in my vicinity

real close to me

Chorus

I'm not in

the best place

I can be

right now

for you and me

Verse

I feel alone

most of the time

all around me

even when you're home

Chorus

Verse

I feel you should talk

or come touch me

I feel I need to be connected more

so you can see how I feel

Bridge

I don't want to leave

but these feelings

leave me to such a place

away from here

Chorus

I'm not in

the best place

I can be

right now

for you and me

"So Grateful" by Lori Jean Finnila

Verse

I look down at my boots below

as I felt my hands

touch the floor inside of me

remembering me on a floor just like this

on drugs

Chorus

I felt so grateful

as I anguished of that time

to have a home

as my after thought

away from it all

verse

My head would lift

in the dark, my groggy mind

to see things I shouldn't know

as girls disappear right before my eyes

Chorus

Verse

I cringe still today

of the sights

of the moments in my life

the fear still remains

Bridge

There's so much more to this

the girl's hand I held

still haunts me to this day

when I saw her go down

her body shook like I've known

Chorus

I felt so grateful

as I anguished of that time

to have a home

as my after thought

away from it all

Five Characteristics for Characters for the Movie "The Virtuous Woman" #richinwar #song #lorijeanfinnila #52FilmsByWomen

In “The Virtuous Woman,” that connects this story to the song “Rich in War,” I'm naming five characteristics of three characters that start the movie that I'm adding to that I wrote: The dad, the mom, and the grandmother – on the father's side.

They make the setup for the beginning of movie with trouble, later in strength, and ending in resolution for the main character of a young woman who had to leave home at 14 in the 50's named Celia. The bright eyed strawberry blond with light eyes was so eager to life but with many questions unanswered before she ventured the cruel world, sometimes making mistakes when she ventured out on her own but learning from them.

"Rich in War" video produced by Lori Jean Finnila. (The wars of woman.)

Dad: troubled because he was confused, flimsy in his decisions though he didn't see this, determined, insubstantial,

Mom: feeble, delicate, frail, fracturable shivery,

Grandmother: crisp, durable, unbreakable, consistent, able

Celia
