[home/music/song_bios] I was looking for inspiration yesterday to write another song for my new CD. I decided to look for a random article on Wikipedia, just to see if it sparked any ideas. Well, one of the article highlights on the first page was an entry about the French folk song, Au Clair de la Lune. I suddenly thought it would be really neat to rework that melody and to kind of ‘loosely translate’ those lyrics into something more modern. I also slightly modified the chords under the melody, crafting a really tasty little ballad. I’m excited about it, and I am looking forward to recording this one. I’m not sure if it will make the CD, but I hope so. ~Jason

Light of the Moon

Standing in the moonlight, calling for his friend
Want to speak a moment, time together spend
“Dark is all around me and I can’t see the light,
“Open up your door please, come into the night.”
From the upstairs window, I make my reply:
“I can’t come to see you, I have said good night.
“Find another neighbour; try the girl next door
“I just heard her moving ‘cross her kitchen floor.”
Underneath the moonlight, I hear her surprise,
“Who is that now knocking, under evening skies?”
Answered he, so softly “This may be enough,”
“Open up your door, girl, for the god of love.”
In the secret moonlight, little can be seen
Nature celebrating, in a midnight dream.
From my higher window, this is what I saw:
Closed the door behind them, curtains then were drawn.

[home/music/song_bios] This is a story we can all relate to— and it was written to fit a message on the “Prodigal Son” for church last Sunday. I hope to put it on my next CD. I’ve been away for so long
Away for So Long
Away For So Long - Jason Silver
Can hardly remember my little town
The sun dies, and I close my eyes
Pictures of home fade in my mind
Anymore- I wonder what I’ve got to lose
Better to serve in your home.
Sometimes when I’m all alone
Reflect on the arrogant side to my soul:
“Give me it all if you please,”
And then I came back, to fall on my knees
Anymore- Wonder what I’ve got to lose
Might as well make my way home… home… home….
Chorus:
Home is here
I’ve found the place I belong
No more fear
That you’ll guess the things I’ve done wrong
You threw a party the day I returned; You were
Waiting with arms wide face all concerned
I’m back in the family, love reaffirmed
Now I am…
I am home.
I made the bed where I lie
Accepting the consequence; not asking why
I’ve lived life, and I’ve had a ball
Nothing to show; though I’ve seen it all
I am yours, and I have got nothing to lose
I’m better of living at home… home… home…
[chorus]
