Lyrics

Last night was a dream
(in which)
I was able to heal her
with kinder emotions.
Heart not broken, but bad.
To reality I wake every day.

Last night was a dream
(in which)
I fear changing anything,
lest she be taken away.
Paralyzed by certainty.

Stay the same, stay the same.

Last night was a dream
(in which)
I forgot to ask,
“Why do you like me?”
Forgot to say,
“Give me your pain!”

Last night was a dream
(in which)
I wrapped her body in mine.
(In which)
I coveted her tears.
(In which)
We shared a heart.
(In which)
I cured her.
(In which)
She cured me!

(And)

And together there was nothing
left to repair.

	haunting dream (in which) this is pretty creepy! i must admit i wasn't really listening to the words the first time - i was busy looking at your breasts on your website. but the artsiness (sorry, can't think of a better term) of the two meshed well! very nice words, though - haunting with the sounds. very dreamlike. Check out my latest song called Everything's Perfect

haunting dream (in which)
Sadly, wasn't written to be creepy, but I will give you that. I wrote it about a
woman I was dating. She's damaged and we both knew it, but I thought I could
be good for her. Wrote this when I'd just gotten to know her, recorded it a
month after we quite seeing each other.

She did get to see me perform it though.

Oh, and no one ever said I had arty breasts before.

	haunting dream (in which) maybe i meant dark more than creepy. and maybe i meant that your website is more arty than your breasts. either way - i meant it in a good way! Check out my latest song called Everything's Perfect

	I fall in love too easily. You are a pro in spoken word, I really like your style..:D "Keep up the spoken word" Respectfully Skean

	I fall in love too easily. Thanks. I just try to write and make stuff I like to listen to and hope others do as well. Advice I got from Steven Brust and I think he probably kyped it from someone else. --- A Bloody Dark Pastryman http://www.christopher.jorgensen.name Check out my latest song called Gardens

	beautifully done The background music sets a perfect tone for your voice. The vocal mixing is very powerful...harmonic in a way.

beautifully done
Thanks. I always like to have something. I am hiss phobic, which I had minimal
on here anyway, but decided to do one note, and liked it that way.

This was the first time I actually used my two mics to effect. I think I sound like
Frank the Donnie Darko Rabbit when played on a real system (anything with
some bass).

	Well done Stirring words, compelling and eerie production - along the lines of the great Kim Nordine - excellent job! Check out my latest song called Dive!

Very nice vocal work!
You really have a great reading on this piece.
Your voice is perfectly set to the words, and the echoes are a great effect.

There is a haunting sense about this...a little creepy, as some have said,
but that's not necessarily bad when you are connecting this with loss,
bitterness, folly...as your keywords state.

Very well done!

	Very nice vocal work! Thanks. Was actually written as a love poem. Can be read with optimism as well. With a "We'll get there," aspect. I forgot to ask why you like me, but that's ok, I'll find out eventually. That sort of thing. Oh well, I moved on. --- A Bloody Dark Pastryman http://www.christopher.jorgensen.name Check out my latest song called Gardens

Many facets
I can hear the hearache and the hopefulness, the darkness and the light.
Very stirring. Enjoyed it.

And on a strange note, Mystified's "In Echo of Emptiness" finished
downloading and started playing quite near the end (around 'We shared a
heart), and it fit in really well both as a sonic contrast to your voice and in
spirit. Your should seriously see about doing a collab with your incredible
voice and words and Mysti's ethereal oohs and aahs.

Many facets
Yeah, she's always been amazing to me. I have never refused a collab, but never
initiated one either. I did two without permission (refused in one case, embraced
in the other), but I am just not good at asking. gudkarma did one of my pieces
as well, but it was all him (my words only).

Guess collabs have to do with planning.

I just sit in front of the mic of keyboard and do what I do. Would love input from
others. All my files are available in .band. I'll send anything to anyone. But you;re
right, maybe it's time I step out and start seeking dance partners.

	nicely done. i like the way you do the vocals, it sounds very dark and mysterious. ahh the dream that i have every night for about the last 4 months, nicely done especially for spoken word. Check out my latest song called Die (Album Version)

cjorgensen	cjorgensen said 1362 days ago (March 1st, 2006)
	nicely done. Especially for spoken word? Thems fightin' words. I know what you mean though. It is harder to do well and to find people who dig it. I do it for me though, and if others like it as well, then great. --- A Bloody Dark Pastryman http://www.christopher.jorgensen.name Check out my latest song called Gardens

	Word. I like the atmosphere you have created. Simple yet evocative words. Check out my latest song called Monica's Waltz

	Word. Thanks. This was one of the first poems I did with a two mic set up. Learning levels and effects and stereo and the whole world that opens up. I dig your stuff as well. --- A Bloody Dark Pastryman http://www.christopher.jorgensen.name Check out my latest song called Gardens
