Susan Stroemel I love them all but this one is a truly poetic description of changes that happen in life, whether you are ready for them or not. Favorite track: In Between.

Hassles I have always loved the piano. Add good lyrics, semi-seductive vocal delivery, some strings and I'm hooked. The beautifully understated, emotive laden arrangements here are joyous.

Wildflower 00:54
i want to be a wildflower i want to rise and grow and bloom and in my space free to grace no lady's lace or interstates to hold as my doom i want to bend but never break wave but never turn watch the world to learn oh, i want to be a wildflower and when it's time i'll burn
2.
verse one: your love songs i sing with no emotion look at love like a long lost ocean when will i find the ship that includes you? my heart beats, i can't hear a thing with all this questioning i want to scream, shut up can't find the answer right now rewind the clock, just turn it and turn it how many times do i have to earn it? enough to be deserving you i know you're there out there oh, somewhere it's just a matter of time or is it? i exhibit i can take it most of the time but watching the moon shine pre-chorus: by herself in the dark nothing else as bright as herself it's how i feel everything's so far just come bring me a star and chorus: come feel sorry for the moon with me starry laughter we can see and breathe and try to make her feel better with cloudy weather come feel sorry for the moon with me show her all that she can be without him without him her lost star help me show her he can't be far verse two: the man in the moon is a lie if he was there she wouldn't feel like she's died she hasn't but it must appear that way to some i know you're there out there oh, somewhere it's just a matter of time or is it? i exhibit i can't take it most of the time but watching the moon shine (pre-chorus) (chorus) bridge: like everyone she wants to fly like everyone she needs to cry like everyone she lives then dies come feel sorry for the moon with me show her all that she can be without him, without him without him, without him (chorus)
3.
Oh My 03:16
verse one: i need to get in touch with my feelings they haven't called for weeks i need to learn to roll with the waves as they crash underneath i need to try, try not to hide what i really think 'cause this caution that i drink, ruins everything chorus: but if i was a lion i'd risk it all and if i was a tiger i'd take my fall and if i were a bear, oh, i swear i wouldn't care but where is my courage after all oh my, oh my verse two: should i be tough and brave and uncaring for others just myself ? or should i love and laugh and live sweet soul for someone else? or could i find, find the balance would that be enough? though i'm mostly made of love and why nots and could ofs (chorus) bridge: because this forest is dark and nothing makes a sound and strength feels hard when you've fallen to the ground so don't place the blame on the creatures who are tame for the bravest heart can make no sound oh my, oh my oh my, oh my oh my, oh my i need to get in touch with my feelings i haven't called for weeks credits
4.
verse one: you are venom spread your words around send all your sounds take us downtown the ones who've seen through the glue the only ones who see it too they never deserved you chorus: but hello, yes, i've seen what you do yell out distress when nothing is given to you and then you lead lead the rest to your nest to do whatever the backstabber's club gets up to verse two: you're set dead on target locked and loaded stop the clock to reload it outnumbering and closing doors pretend you never meant it actions scream louder than words and your honesty's so pretentious (chorus) bridge: your broken promises let's be honest this is a shame your words ever so empty in their hopeless frames it hurts my heart to know you'll never change (chorus) hello hello
5.
In Between 03:47
intro: i'll leave the tv on to keep me company no one says the jump from one world to next was ever easy and now i'll wait and see the world that waits for me 'cause i'm in between verse one: no one will see me the speck among the stars the piece of dust who says so the blur of thoughts at large and zero gravity that floats reality as i'm chorus: in between the lines that continue their blurring moving toward a world that's just stirring hoping this star will be bright without burning my eyes verse two: everything's floating a traveler's haunting trail the stars are trees all gloating they've seen it all where they are and lonely stars are far apart where i'm (chorus) bridge: but did you know there's more than one setting? there are different places and faces always forgetting some planets won't let you stay and some stars burn so bright they make you fade away make you fade away make you fade away outro: i'll leave the tv on to keep me company no one says the jump from one world to next was ever easy
6.
Sometimes 04:23
verse one: sometimes i love you sometimes i don't sometimes i need you sometimes it feels like i won't and i don't want to do this to you but your love is caught in my throat i know you say you love me i feel like a burden you're forced to hold chorus: it makes me feel so numb i'm right under your thumb oh, won't you see how far we've come won't you see how much i love you verse two: you used to be so alive so excited to make me yours i was reluctant but i lowered my force field for yours and we used to be so close and now i'm far away you say you love me i wish i knew what to say (chorus) bridge: did the world turn out to be so different than what you thought before were we ever meant to be? what do we have in store should i stay or should i go but i think i love you so i love you so can't you see i want you to know?
7.
Tell Me 02:44
8.
Stardust 03:49
verse one: your heart is cold my gaze is warm and i swear i would love you like a perfect storm your eyes are bright my heart is glad your heart feels warm in the palm of my hand i am here there is nothing to fear there is nothing to run far from right here verse two: my hope is strong you're feeling weak my love lasts long and you still can't get that winning streak i'll be your shelter free of charge and if you let me love you could i really do much harm? you feel like stardust and i want this you feel like stardust
9.
verse one: i need a little time now the season's in it's prime now the leaves have tried to show me how to fall and even in the sad spells as the moon decides to slow down it leaves me with the question if love could survive chorus: because even in the high tide i've seen the bravest hide away and falling from the far above the forest showing signs of the winter's heartbreak i've felt the same i've felt the same verse two: weather's getting colder a tree grows one day older and to celebrate let's hold her and never let her go the clouds are growing tired the wind rather expired their feeling of inspire gone along with all their frequent flyers (chorus)
