When I'm Awake

(Nick Duer)

Just a lovesick song. Someone who has loved someone will understand it. Someone who has loved with no return will feel it.

There's really not that much at stake
Mine won't be the first heart to break
So much for love that turns out fake
I only love you when I'm awake

So walk on by, pay me no mind
It wasn't real someday I'll find
Why must love treat me unkind
My silly dreams it won't cosign

So I take my pills and say good night 
I'm probably wrong, and you are right
Love has somehow blurred my sight
Or too much time in the sunlight

There's not much that is at stake
Just another heart for love to break 
It may feel real, but I guess it's fake
I only love you, when I am awake 

The days are so long, please let me sleep
Pray into my dreams you will not creep
Yes I fell, and I fell so deep
The love I sew, I will not reap

But please don't worry, I'll be alright
Counting down until I say good night. 
Then the tears I won't need to fight
How am I wrong, this feels so right

It's just one man's heart that is at stake 
Mine won't be first heart to break 
Not sure how much more I can take
I only love you, when I'm awake

Slice Of Heaven

By Nick Duer

A look back at wasted time, wasted love and a wasted life. Always after what he didn't have, until he realized what he lost. This song is a lesson in life, and love.

Your Song

By Nick Duer

This is a song about a love unfulfilled. The singer is in love, but his dreams seem impossible. The only thing that seems more impossible is to give up. Come full circle back to the hope that love brings.

When I Believed

By Nick Duer

A love song, or I guess a heartbroken song. Taking you on a trip through the cycle of love, and rejection. Leaving you disillusioned and alone.

That Feeling

By Nick Duer

This is a spiritual song, a happy song. A song about those few times in this lifetime that make all the difficult things worthwhile. I saw the sunset in Vegas one evening and the beauty brought tears to my eyes and a feeling of peace that is beyond description.

Forsaken Wisdom

By Nate Marolli

Wisdom is invisible to the ignorant. If you seek it, often it will present itself. This is a song describing how much of western culture has forgotten and even neglected the teachings of the past, religious or otherwise, and how there is much to be learned from our roots if we just take the time to learn.

Kuss

Der Song basiert auf ein trauriges Erlebnis was ich persönlich erlebt habe. Die Person wo ich mich festgehalten hatte, nahm mir alles und gab nie was zurück.

Die Geschichte 2er Mädchen Teil 1

By Ana Paravani

Aus wahren Begebenheiten. 2 Mädchen wissen nicht welchen Weg sie gehen sollen. Während der Teufel sie mit Gaben anlocken will hält Gott sich im Hintergrund und hofft auf den Verstand der Mädchen.
