I composed this one in the same year. I must have been troubled during 2018.

Frozen in a Dream
Words & Music: John Lawrence Schick
Sung by Erik Tyler


I am lost – So alone
No way out – Dark Passages
Can’t wake up – I’m frozen
Frozen in a dream – So strange

Is this how life ends?
Buried deep inside a dream
I don’t want… to be alone

So alone…

Nothing here… to feel
What can I do?
How can I leave?
Will this ever end?
I remember “when”…

Trapped inside… this dream
Is this all there is?

Let me breathe
One last breath…

Frozen in a dream
No way out – All alone
Will I ever be again.
Day into night
Night into day
I’m with you
You’re not with me… although

It seems real
Or is it – some senseless dream
Where am I

Am I so lost?

Or have I found you deep inside a dream
Is it real?
It’s so strange
I’m alone
But still with you
Why are the days and nights…so blue?

Where is this place?
I don’t know
With you?
Alone


So Blue
Music & Lyrics: John L. Schick
Vocal: Erik Tyler

Day into night
Night into day
I’m with you
You’re not with me… although

It seems real
Or is it – some senseless dream
Where am I

Am I so lost?

Or have I found you deep inside a dream
Is it real?
It’s so strange
I’m alone
But still with you
Why are the days and nights…so blue?

Where is this place?
I don’t know
With you?
Alone

Great to hear you music delivering a lyric JLS. Piano is really nice as always.

Song is somehow not connecting to me...it is melancholic for sure so fits the music, but the story does not resonate.

Please more with lyrics....I know you have a lyric writer you like to collab with

Thanks John! It has always been my view of the afterlife/ spiritual life having similarities. My Pastor once told me that we have no idea of what experiencing a spiritual life, like God, is. It's a life without form, could it be like a dream that we've all experienced? A little scary, i.e., an eternity in the spiritual world. The lyrics depicts it as a frightening trap.

Best, John

You and everybody else are going to rot in coffin . The universe does not care you are a human or a road kill raccoon .
Nobody is going any where . Thats really pretty John . nice to hear a human song . Born again George Carlin . He is your ticket to everything .

Thanks Ben! But I refuse to rot. I've already paid for my cremation. Ha, ha. Yes, there are many beliefs about the afterlife. If we can be given existence once, what will stop it from happening again. Creation of life is way beyond our comprehension. We're trying to understand it all, while using our ameba brains. I'm thankful for the Creator of life. And hope the Creator gives me another chance to do better. I realize all my shortcomings...

Best, John

Great music singing and lyric. Last line is stellar!
Bill

Cremation it is , Beats a 5k box in a hole on a hill over looking a grassy knoll, that you will never see cuz your dead . Dogs have life figured out . We never will. Don't forget to get pumped full of chemicals , So you look good for 500 years in that box.

Safe to assume, it's not as good dream? Lol, I have a song about a recurring dream I've been having for decades, but its a good one lol..
I'll post Forgotten about it.

I like it John, I think the singer may be singing too pretty, he should try for some dissonance like rest of music.

But it's good either way. Sounds like a slightly off killer jazz standard.

Yes more complete sings would be fun

Thanks Bill!

I don't think dogs even consider death or the afterlife. I know mine doesn't. And she talks to me.

Thanks, Fde! I go through several dreams a night - since I trek to the bathroom three times - ha, ha. I have a recurring dream where I'm working an old job I had. I wake up in the morning tired. I tell my wife, I worked all night, and I don't even get paid for it.

Nope, one moment at a time. Born perfect. Full of love .

That's hilarious, don't tell me they make you pay taxes on it!

The difference between burial and cremation is where your molecules go.

In a casket yiur body's energy fills the soil in the ground with yiur energy.

Cremation you project upward. Into the sky. Eventually into the universe. Traveling indefinitely.

Might be better.

Only difference maybe is if they ever figure out to bring the dead back, the body won't be around.

In a nutshell, nobody really knows

The Egyptians came up with the whole after life thing . So we grasped on the idea on mummy's and all that . It's good for the funeral business . 2k boxes or 9k boxes , depends on that salesman, putting the family in debt . Like Dom said nobody alive knows, and the dead aren't talking .

it's a comfort to people RIP, and not sorry he's dead .SHD, or SSD . Of course a up charge to be pumped full of chemicals, like the Egyptians kings .
We tossed away being buried with slaves of obviously . Maybe the vain people wanna be dug up in 5000 years . She or he looks pretty good .

Africa is where evolution started, so it makes sense the Egyptians had a head start on beliefs . Back on dogs , they can be coming or going, they're happy . I think the cat was the big deal to Egyptians .

‘The Cat Came Back’ c 1893 Harry S. Miller.

probably from the Egyptians ha ha ha

And every religion throughout the centuries.

ha ha right

I must have been going through some strange times in 2018. Here's a similar track to "Frozen" I did back then.

A portend of covid in the off mayhaps.
I’ll be back to listen later.
Gotta run.

Thanks Bill. I included both songs on the top.
