Wander 04:24
lyrics
Stood outside and waved Watched you drive a way Now I’m on my own Who am I without my home I live in a van With a lovely man He decoupled me I am now without my home Wander Where I’ll go when you’re not there to drive me Wander What I’ll do when you’re not here beside me Wandering alone is nice But I’d rather be on mountain With you on the path behind me My trailer and my van Came back with my man He fell down alone I wasn’t there to help him home Wander Where I’ll go when you’re not there to drive me Wander What I’ll do when you’re not here beside me Wandering alone is nice But I’d rather be on mountain With you on the path behind me Ooooooo Ooooooo Ooooooo Ooooooo Please don’t take my van Take me when you can Two cats share our ride It’s cozy when we’re all inside Wander Where I’ll go when you’re not there to drive me Wander What I’ll do when you’re not here beside me Wandering alone is nice But I’d rather be on mountain With you on the path behind me Wander Where I’ll go when you’re not there to drive me Wander What I’ll do when you’re not here beside me Wandering alone is nice But I’d rather be on mountain With you on the path behind me Mmmmm Mmmmm Two cats share our ride It’s cozy when we’re all inside It’s cozy when we’re all inside It’s cozy when we’re all inside

Resistance 04:05
lyrics
Strident beeping alarm, I groan Deep breath of good coffee brewing on time Barely register constant white noise buzz of the drone Subtle reminder I’m never alone They’re listening They’re monitoring They’re recording What was it like to be free No one remembers This is your legacy Government pronouncements in monotone Light rail whirs in transit to work No choices, no deviations, binding career set in stone Glaring reminders that I’m not my own Cameras Laptops and phones Personal drones What was it like to be free No one remembers This is your legacy Finally hacked my drone at midnight Darkest tunnels lit by candle light Whispered furtively our history We used to live with uncertainty Safety our finances no guarantee So we traded our freedom for benevolent security I vow as I slide between my perfect sheets I am resistance, my mind screams, my drum beats What was it like to be free They’re listening No one remembers Light rail whirs This is your legacy Cameras, laptops and phones, personal drones What was it like to be free I’m never alone No one remembers I’m not my own This is your legacy Listening, monitoring, recording What was it like to be free Cameras, monitoring, drones No one remembers Listening, drones, never alone This is your legacy Government pronouncements in monotone Listening, I’m not my own What was it like to be free Deep breath, government, good coffee, listening No one remembers Constant white noise buzz of the drone, This is your legacy Subtle, finally hacked my I am resistance I am resistance I am resistance I am resistance

Queued Up My Netflix 02:18
lyrics

Grocery store clerk Yeah I was a jerk But I gotta figure out social distancing And how to work online from home And make a funny facemask Not an easy task Queued up my Netflix And my Amazon Need to get a gun From the pawn Nowhere else to go But to the liquor depot Need some beer and wine Cuz I’m runnin’ low Help a neighbor? But who has the time Gotta get to Facebook, Instagram, and all my apps online Twitter and Reddit And buying with credit And I can’t go to a bar So I hookup from afar Queued up my Netflix And my Amazon Need to get a gun From the pawn Nowhere else to go But to the liquor depot Need some beer and wine Cuz I’m runnin’ low Shopping Mall? A bad call Disneyland? Might be banned Microbrew? Not with you Theater? When there’s a cure Queued up my Netflix And my Amazon Need to get a gun From the pawn Nowhere else to go But to the liquor depot Need some beer and wine Cuz I’m runnin’ low Queued up my Netflix And my Amazon Need to get a gun From the pawn Nowhere else to go But to the liquor depot Need some beer and wine Cuz I’m runnin’ low Shopping Mall? A bad call Disneyland? Might be banned Microbrew? Not with you Theater? When there’s a cure Grocery store clerk Yeah I was a jerk But I gotta figure out social distancing And how to work online from home And make a funny facemask Not an easy task Queued up my Netflix And my Amazon Need to get a gun From the pawn Nowhere else to go But to the liquor depot Need some beer and wine Cuz I’m runnin’ low

I Want 02:36
lyrics
(Verse 1) Late in the day Time ticking away Thought I’d be done No longer fun (Chorus) I want But I don’t want to wait I’m not patient I procrastinate (Verse 1) Motivation Is mislaid when Gratification Is delayed again And again And again (Chorus) I want But I don’t want to wait I’m not patient I procrastinate (Bridge) I want I want to gain The world on a plate without pain And I don’t want to wait (Chorus) I want But I don’t want to wait I’m not patient And I’m not gonna to wait

Mm mm Mm mm Mm mm Mm mm Morning dew Morning brew Watch you sleep Think you grew Sunflower You wash my dirt away Sunflower With every word you learn to say Mm mm Like a stalk Sunshine hair Soul so pure Lays me bare Sunflower You wash my dirt away Sunflower With every word you learn to say Every day, I watch you play And time draws near For you to run away But for now, you’re my Sunflower You wash my dirt away Sunflower With every word you learn to say Sunflower You wash my dirt away Sunflower With every word you learn to say Mm mm Mm mm Mm mm Mm mm

about

"It's About Time" has a few meanings. I'm releasing music later in life, it took me a long time to write, record, and release since it's all self produced, and each song has an element of time attached to it.

*Wander - a snapshot of a time of my life, traveling full time in a converted van with my husband and 2 cats

*Resistance - a fantastical sci-fi future based on a TV show called "Omniscient"

*Queued Up My Netflix - the past, about the pandemic

*I Want - impatient, success takes too long

*Sunflower - about appreciating the now, time flies swiftly
