about

This is the second track of a modern Lo-Fi experiment called (MEMO)RIES. So, the project will go a little something like this...

1. A memory
2. My iPhone (including the recording of the song and creation of the artwork)
3. One voice
4. One instrument (there might be a few different ones as we go)
5. One take recording (a voice "MEMO")
6. One song a month (7 months)

Please feel free to interact and ask questions on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube!

Thank you for your support,

Q

ABOUT "Sally Forth": The words "sally forth" mean to leave a safe place in a brave or confident way in order to do something difficult.

I dedicate this song to my family and my Grandma Sarah "Sally" Straiton (1934-2015). I'll kiss your cheek again one day in eternity's great garden. Miss you.

lyrics

In our parting hours
I gleaned all that I could
Though you were tied by
Intravenous wires
You were already free of earth
To me you didn’t say much
‘Cause you’ve said so much before
But in our last, “I love you's”
I felt you invoke these words

Sally forth, sally forth
Make your presence known
Don’t let folks tell you who to be
While you make this place your own
Sally forth, sally forth
May your hope light the path
And when the past comes out to haunt you
Just laugh, just laugh

After your final hour
When we buried you in our lives
With floods erupting down our cheeks
Washing dark times from our eyes
We knew what you had left us
A monument in our hearts
And if we try to run from it
We’ll crash into these words

Sally forth, sally forth
Don’t forget just who you are
You’ll find another way to live
Even when the living's hard
Sally forth, sally forth
Give yourself some time
There’s so much in this life to learn
If you’ll open up your eyes

Don’t forget

Sally forth, sally forth
Leave no stone unturned
We’re better when we acknowledge
The scars that we’ve all earned
Sally forth, sally forth
Listen to me still
Love the hell out of this world
‘Cause if you don’t then nobody will

And when I think about you
I know you’re still around
The sacred places I call soul
And my heart your hallowed ground
When I think about you
I see the passion in your eyes
A fierce fire for living and the love
That kept you alive
