Moonlight

Songwriter

"Moonlight" is a mid-tempo love song that expresses the foundational appreciation that one person feels for another. The first verse places emphasis upon the fact that outward circumstances do not come between their existing relationship, including the concept of distance and time passing by. Furthermore the varying changes of their journey have actually strengthened their connection.

The chorus is a metaphorical scene in which their relationship is visualized as sailing away into the distance, away from any distractions and embracing the moments that they share. The concept of ‘never arriving’ is included to emphasize that throughout the journey, as well as their continuing relationship, there will always be room for growth. They have come to realize that they should not become complacent at any stage and continue to strive for their goals individually as well as collectively.

The poetic description of their romance continues into the second verse, in which they are situated on the ‘river of love’ and savoring every moment together. As they journey forth on their quest, they continue to add to the foundation that keeps them together.

Liberated

"Liberated" is a song that expresses the personal freedom of having choices in life and the liberation of decision. Within the first verse the individual recognises that their personal quest for a greater sense of freedom may begin alone, yet with the recognition that there will be greater rewards along the way. Comparatively, the individual has come to appreciate the concept of being liberated in comparison to their former experiences. For having experienced degrees of restrictions, confinement and authoritarian limitations whether physically, emotionally, they have come to recognise the difference.

The chorus is connected to the stage of definite decision making, in which the individual has made the choice to no longer allow the past to have reign over her life and future. As the captain of her own soul, she has come to appreciate that she can begin to create her own future and take responsibility for her choices in life.

Within the second verse there is acknowledgment of previous distractions that have had their own ramifications. The emphasis from therein is to no longer allow further distractions to hinder her journey or progress. With the pursuit of any dream one can at times go about their quest with added complications, whereby simplicity would be a beneficial choice. She chooses now to sift out any elements in her life that no longer serve her or help her accomplish her life’s purpose.

Love Reciprocal

"Love Reciprocal" is a romantic piece that has been metaphorically written. It is the telling of a love story, whereby two soulmates have come to find each other in their quest for love. A fundamental part of their foundation is that their connection is not merely based upon outward appearance or superficial aspects. There is a greater deepness to their romance, in which their appreciation of each other extends far beyond outward attraction.

Such is the greatness of their romance that they can envision no other soul that could compare to the affection that they share. They understand that their journey will have its trials and fluctuations of emotion, yet they continue in the face of that.

By the second verse, the concept of finding each other is comparatively like the discovery of treasure, which was no easy find, but required a diligent search and a profound vision. The inclusion of the word ‘reciprocal’ is to emphasize the notion that love given should be reciprocated by the other person in a mutual fashion if there is to be a genuine bond. They will continue to inscribe their love with their own personal writings upon the tree of love.
