Lyrics:
It's hard to let go
of what's familiar;
it's comforting and known.
But if the butterfly
had stayed a caterpillar,
it wouldn't have far to roam.
Everything changes.
You've got to leave the ground to fly.
Enter the strangeness.
You won't know until you try.
Like the first day of school,
walking through that door
into a world so different and new.
It was the end of the one
you had known before.
You were scared and didn't know
what to do.
Everything changes,
and it's okay to cry.
Enter the strangeness.
You don't always know the reasons why.
Sometimes you keep going
with nothing to hold on to
but the faith
that everything will work out
in its way.
And if you find yourself
out on your own
when a long-time love ends,
you'll discover
what only you can know:
that a heart doesn't break, it bends.
And everything changes.
You've got to leave the ground to fly.
Enter the strangeness.
There is life after goodbye.
That was kinda neat.

This is the kind of song that is so deep and has so many profound comments about living and life (that are so true, I might add) that I can tell that it is going to take quite a few viewings for me to say everything I want to about it.
But just for now, all I can say is "Whoa!!!"
I love songwriting like this that holds up a mirror to life and says, "This is what is, at least as I perceive it to be. " And you're telling the truth, Teroku, with that beautiful Les Paul guitar and your nice voice.

As I watched this again,there's some beautiful scenes of nature in here. I noticed how it relates to your lryics (which are beautiful) I can see the change in seasons. So nice!
Are these scenes of your farm? I love the images. :)

You write some nice sad lyrics. You have a folksy sound to your song,very calm feel to it. Keep up the songwriting and guitar playing.
