Todays lesson is to write a song that requires moving only two fingers throughout the entire song! LoL. Honestly, it never really occurred to me that I keep my hand anchored to the one fret until I watched the video. (Original Music Video)

This is the place where I take my music a little further. If you like my music but are in the mood for something more than guitar & voice this should be a destination.

"Sea Stars"
Words & music by Mary Win.
Copyright © 2010 Mary Win. All rights reserved.

I'm chasing after you so I can not feel the truth
I'd leave myself behind just to drink a little spice
It gives me what I need and it truly makes me weep
Just fill my cup so I can touch the world inside of me

I feel like a fallen sail
I realize that time has left me frail 
I dream that thing I am must cease
So I'm churning like a star beneath the sea

Oh the spice, the stars, the seas too deep
Oh the waters climbing up like a beast

It's heavy in my chest, this must be the right effect
If I stay this way then I'll finally leave these waves
Stop to catch some sun so I'll nurture everyone
Think I will survive cause I'm showing all the signs

I feel the rising tide
Please wash over the parts that have turned dry
I dream that the things I like must freeze 
So I'm choking like a star beneath the sea

Oh the spice, the scars are eating me
Oh the water's rushing me into sleep

Skip backwards in time to April, 2010... Shortly after composing a full length song I deemed so lyrically trite I could no longer bear singing it I experienced much shame and frustration. The guitar melody was rather beautiful and I still wish to set new lyrics to it's graceful notes. Amidst my moping a new creative fire was already swirling in my chest. I knew the fiery feeling was my soul's desire to prove I was still a valuable artist. So... out burst a wildly captivating melody and very heartfelt set of lyrics! And that is the story of how I came to write "Sea Stars". Since writing this song I have practiced it so many times I have lost count and as winter passed and spring arrived it has matured beautifully.
