Wander: Sensations

Monday, September 7th, 2009

“Sensations” is the 12th track from the original Wander album. The “Hip Deep Remix” is featured on the Wander… Another Path album.

This song is an emotional one about facing the challenges of a relationship. It speaks to the moment when something changes, whether it’s a feeling or a knowing, when there may be no way to fix a problem, or reason to continue the journey together. It’s that feeling that arises at the crossroads and junctions as we trip and fall through making sense of ourselves.

Sometimes, it just wasn’t meant to be. These are the sensations we all deal with…

Sensations
by Trance Blackman

A sudden change appears
Feeling so many fears
Letting emotions flow
Does everybody know

Remember the sacred days
Those you and I spent away
Careless like winds and time
Now I know you are mine

A sensation arises within you
It’s there deep in your eyes to consume you
A sensation arises around you
Chase you every direction you run to

And now what seems to be
Is you’re in love with me
So call it destiny
So call it make believe

A sensation arises within you
It’s there deep in your eyes to consume you
A sensation arises around you
Chase you every direction you run to

Piano Solo

A sudden change appears
Feeling so many fears
Letting emotions flow
Doesn’t everybody know

A sensation arises within you
It’s there deep in your eyes to consume you
A sensation arises around you
Chase you every direction you run to

(2x)

Wander: Butterfly

Monday, September 7th, 2009

“Butterfly” is the 11th track from the original Wander album, and the 4th track on the Strange Daze EP (which features Gypsy Butterfly singing). The “Beyond Neptune Mix” is featured on the Wander… Another Path album.

I wrote this song for my good friend, and frequent collaborator Gypsy Butterfly, back in 2002. I think it captures her spirit pretty well, and it is one of my favourite little creations.

The song has a nice swing and flow to it, being born out of a quiet moment while driving the highways of British Columbia’s interior. She challenged me to create something on the spot, and so I did. This tune is the result.

Butterfly
by Trance Blackman

CHORUS/INTRO
White butterfly dances free on the breeze
For a wandering heart goes anywhere it pleases
See the butterfly dancing soft on the wind
Searching for a bed of roses…

‘Cause I believe what I see, when I see you
It’s the deepest of understanding
Oh would you believe me, if I told you
That I believe in you…

CHORUS

‘Cause I see clearly now I see, these thoughts that were mine
Found a deeper understanding
Oh would you believe me, if I told you
That I believe in you…

Inst. Solo

BRIDGE
Don’t believe the words uttered out of fear
Don’t believe it
You shall find, discover what it is I see in you…

CHORUS
REPEAT 1st Verse

Wander: Revolving You

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

“Revolving You” is the 10th track from the original Wander album. The “New Revolution Mix” is featured on the Wander… Another Path album.

It’s about you, and me, and how one of us keeps coming close, then moving away… Revolving You.

Ah, l’amour… We dance and we fight, we love and we hate. We battle and we break up. Sometimes we get back together again, but then realize that wasn’t a good idea and well, it’s complicated. Aren’t relationships fun?

Romance and all of it’s colours is what novels and movies are made of. The frustrations and emotions are powerful and almost always right there on the sleeves, awaiting another beating. Sometimes it’s bliss and rather beautiful. I think it’s purely relative as we’re all at different stages in our personal stories, and people always come into our lives when we’re ready for the next lesson. The trouble comes when things go out of balance, either within the dynamic of the couple, or within one of the individuals. It’s hard then to shield yourself from the fallout that can occur, but these days relationships are very much different than they used to be.

This song is a testament to some of the trivialities that get a good dose of emotional energy to create their own distinct monsters. Unable to break through old ideas, wounds, or otherwise, there’s little hope of making amends in this story…

Revolving You
by Trance Blackman

(intro) Will you know then the way that I feel for you is real…

I can’t afford to hide inside my thoughts
Battle everyday to untie the knots
You make me curious
Is this the two of us?
Will you settle for something good?
Yes I know you would…

I feel so good when you’re near my side
Grow stronger everyday learn a bit of pride
You turn and see my smile
I’m hoping all the while
Will you know then the way that I feel for you is real?

Time passes like clouds in the sky
Do you expect me to wait?
Oh no let’s leave it to fate
But if it reaches too late
Will you be revolving you?
Yeah revolving you
Oh, will you be the same again?
Will you know then the way that I feel for you is real?

Don’t really want to talk about it much
Travel every way so I can feel your touch
What’s with this mystery?
Don’t you believe in me?
When you’re ready please tell me
You know I’ll believe in you

You are all I think of nowadays
Jumping up and down my head begins to sway
You turn and see my smile
I’m hoping all the while
Will you know then the way that I feel for you is real?

Time passes like clouds in the sky
Do you expect me to wait?
Oh no let’s leave it to fate
But if it reaches too late
Will you be revolving you?
