Song notes from Brigitte Handley:

Invisible

“I am invisible, you can’t see me but you know I’m here…” Selective vision takes a hold… busy days and self-absorbsion drives the high standards of society to look straight through the lives of those living outside the square… this is as good as it gets, for regret lays heavy on the shoulders of those too scared to pursue their dreams and follow their hearts…

Denial

Ever wish you could close your eyes and everything that’s on your mind would just dissolve into the carpet?

Inspired by the art of balancing a crazy lifestyle with the pressures of relationships and demands of society expectations. We gloss over, searching for short cut solutions we all know never work. Ignorance is bliss and for a time a nod and a smile covers all…. No time to deal with it, we’re living in denial… Requiem

Life’s a masquerade as we dance upon this danger sea… A theatrical fantasy where silvery imagery stares deep into the fiendish face of the night. Silent voices in our heads beckon us to celebrate the dance of the dead… Emergency A cold wave rushes over as truth is revealed… making mountains out of molehills and drowning our sorrows is no easy solution. Familiarity breeds contempt and a paranoid mind will erode away the strongest of hearts. Things are not always as catastrophic as they seem, tomorrow will come and negativity shall be washed away… Still Lives

Where the day meets the night, we are still…

Our lives constantly flicker before us, twisting and turning into the torrential downpour of the past. Still we sit in this swirl of recognition, searching for something we know not…
