Love and Loss: A Compilation for Jeremy

Love and Loss: A Compilation for Jeremy (96.9MB)

For this first anniversary of the life and death of our son Jeremy, we decided to share the year of emotions through the gift of music. You can download the entire album as we’ve arranged it by clicking the link above, or if you’d prefer to support the artists directly then you’ll find links to purchase the individual tracks through Amazon (sans Mother Earth and Father Time). Shae has crystallized some of the lyrics from each of the songs.

Sweet sweet baby I think maybe Maybe you shouldn’t leave I go crazy when I think of you I go crazy If I can’t cuddle up to youâ–ªThe water line is rising and all we do is stand thereâ–ªI slept all day Awoke with distaste And I railed And I raved That the difference between The sprout and the bean is a twisted stringâ–ªI’m gonna paint that planet red cuz I’m in the world And leave a trail of kisses When my loves unfurled And now I’m swinging from the stars From an umbilical chordâ–ªSweetheart How I miss your heart Beating next to mine Flesh of my flesh Soul of my soulâ–ªTell you I’m sorry You don’t know how lovely you are Nobody said it was easy It’s such a shame for us to part No one ever said it would be this hard take me back to the start Comin’ up Tails Heads on a science apart. Runnin’ in circles, Chasin’ our Tailsâ–ªOnly memories are left for me to hold Don’t know how but I’ll get by Slowly pull myself together There’s no escape Nothing comes easily Fill this empty space Turn my grief to grace, I feel the cold Loneliness unfold Like from another world Come what may I wont fade away But I know I might changeâ–ªHow very special are we For just a moment to be Part of life’s eternal rhymeâ–ªEarly in the morning it pulls all on down my sore feet I wanna go back to sleep. In the motions and the things that you say. It all will fall right into placeâ–ªSo much to tell you With no words to say We live in fear Of losing your light on this day Watching the could’ve beens Bloom and decay I can’t let go One last moment And time stands still One last ember of hope to killâ–ªDon’t nobody know my troubles but with Godâ–ªThis is brutally beautiful. So are we. This is endless. So are we. We can heal this.â–ªI must be strong, and carry on I’ll find my way, through night and day Beyond the door There’s peace I’m sure. And I know there’ll be no more tears in heavenâ–ªTidal waves don’t beg forgiveness Crashed and on their way A snowflake falls in may. this is just g’bye for nowâ–ªSoon, you’ll find your own way Hope has come, you are safe And it makes me cry Because I’m on my way Soon, you’ll be okay And it makes me smile Because I’m on my way Hey, it’s the sun son, and it makes me shineâ–ªIt’s the season of bowing our heads in the wind And knowing we are not alone in fear Not alone in the dark Don’t forget I love you I love you
