2017 Arrangement of O come O come Emmanuel Lyrics: O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan's tyranny From depths of Hell Thy people save And give them victory o'er the grave Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to the...

Lyrics: I look back at this little life that I’ve led And think of many things I did and said Did I accomplish everything that I wanted? Will the world know that I was here? Maybe those people that are close to you Will be mindful for a year or two But when the dust has settled You will be forgotten Decaying and rotten But your spirit will live, who knows? Well maybe No one’s had time to know Cus...

Another instalment of the poem 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe with music by Jamie Kimathi Milburn. The Raven Part 2, Edgar Allan Poe: Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?” Th...

Lyrics: What happened to the days? When men were kind? When we were void of such distractions Hundreds of years ago You would not find A lonely person known by thousands In all my life I’ve never known the peace and quiet And I never will because everywhere is noise We start but never finish Our brains become diminished We jump from thing to thing We cannot concentrate x2 In this world In this lif...

The original poem by Robert Ervin Howard (1906-1936) is a chilling one, and I can only hope to have done it some justice. Poem: They hanged John Farrel in the dawn amid the marketplace; At dusk came Adam Brand to him and spat upon his face. "Ho neighbors all," spake Adam Brand, "see ye John Farrel's fate! "Tis proven here a hempen noose is stronger than man's hate! For heard ye not John Farrel's v...

Pie Jesu by Jamie Kimathi Milburn

Easter is a good enough time as any to reflect. This piece helps me do so.

Lyrics: With the person that is meant to live forever gone It’s time to move on You may feel a little lonely but that’s normal hun You’ve got to move on With all the people on planet earth You have got to be Strong for me They’ll be another one It’s time to move on I can see the town from here Where we used to be All those memories that you shared Even before me They all always say that things wil...

Another original Christmas song. I've gotten into a habit of releasing these late... Hopefully, I'll have the next one ready for 2018, and not the beginning of 2019. Lyrics: I think about all the things I’m grateful for this Christmas I think about friends and family I’m happy with how things are going Even all the while knowing Some have it worse than me So the next time I complain About things n...

Bit late... Like more than a year late. This is the accompanying cover to the 2016 Christmas song "Fight For What You Believe". The 2017 stuff should be ready by next year!

Life... Lyrics: Day one life starts again Day two you gaze into the sun First week is spent forgetting The life that’s already done Now you will not remember The life you’ve behind is gone So keep on looking forward Then you will walk, and then you’ll run And then you’ll grow And somewhere deep inside your heart you will know That all life is the same We’ve lived it all before We’ve lived a thousa...

This is a fan song that tells the main story of the Stranger things 1 and 2. THERE ARE SPOILERS. Not everything is covered, just the main plot with Will Byers and Eleven. Also, not every character is mentioned, such as MadMax or Billy. This does not diminish their contribution to season 2, it's just I had to drop some information. Condensing a 14 or so hour show into 5 minutes was fun, but as I've...

Lyrics: Light and Freedom Fallen from Grace And the Truth Deserts us... Deserts Where do we go? Where? See, Light See, Oneself See, Me Believe, Me And the truth will find all

This is a sonnet from the collection by Tyrone Wilson Renwick that I have set to music. I have set others to music, such as "Joyous Morning and Sorrowful Night", and look to upload the remainder. Lyrics: A crippling sadness was yesterday, It is today and shall be tomorrow, Why does the pain refuse to go away, How do I, therefore, escape my sorrow? Hours have become weeks in your absence, Pleasures...

This is a song telling the story of a game called "Life is Strange". Not all of the story is covered, but there are SPOILERS. If you have any intention of playing the game, do that first and then listen to the song. Lyrics: Life is Strange, Life is Strange People don’t know why that is What if you could re-arrange? Change the past if you need to But all decisions have a price You could save a pers...
