1.	Brooklyn (free) 04:19	lyrics	download
She said show me all the ways that you would hold me The way that you feel empty to know I’m not around Teach me all the things that you find holy About living in the city and finding your way home Tell me I am not alone Tell me I am not alone All the way out All the way down Brooklyn, she’s like poetry in the morning She mends my faith when I am broken, a bridge over the past She says baby, I’ll change my shoes and pull my hair back Throw some hope into this backpack and see what comes of the day They say love gets in the way They say love gets in the way All the way out All the way down All the way in Leads me back to Brooklyn Leads me back to Brooklyn Leads me back to Brooklyn Fate won’t let me down Brooklyn follows birds across the ocean Leaves her white Honda running and settles on a star They say love can break your heart All the way out All the way down All the way in Leads me back to Brooklyn
2.	Illuminate The Sky 03:51	lyrics	buy track
I woke up today and my voice was Older than my heart Which carries a new scar The image of a better place Let me see the earth dressed For the seasons Diamonds in the street Spotlights in the wild Tonight I watch an angel Shoot across the sky Illuminate the sky Even as my dreams run slowly Beneath this printed sunset They begin to die We replace the impossible With the same wicked fever That burned heaven to the ground Diamonds in the street Spotlights in the wild Tonight I watch an angel Illuminate the sky Shoot across the sky I opened up my veins Showed you what I believe I hope you never change I hope you never change I hope you will always shine I hope you never change The stars in your eyes Illuminate the sky
3.	Waterfall 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Wasn’t it fast, my sweet?  We lost what we couldn’t keep…  When did it all become  Like a loaded gun?  Out in the rain you live  Chasing another year  If you believe in me  Say it out loud   You’re not going to waste it all  Turning around without  Get what you came here for  Over the waterfall   Love is an altered state  Piercing the flesh and mind  Hungry for everyone  Like a loaded gun   You’re not going to waste it all  Turning around without  Get what you came here for  Over the waterfall
4.	Second Place 04:16	lyrics	buy track
You suffered on the wheel You don’t know how you feel about this living All the signs are there The good news and the bad conversation Baby I can’t see what you see I don’t know how it feels to be Always in second place Under the weight of all this pressure You’re so beautiful if only once You believed it Come back  Come back to me  You carry what you want You hold it in your arms like a mother does Something in your heart Stays out in the dark for another Baby I can’t see what you see I don’t know how it feels to be Always in second place Under the weight of all this pressure You’re so beautiful if only once You believed it Come back  Come back to me You carry what you want You hold it in your arms
5.	Georgia Rain 03:31	lyrics	buy track
I set out in the morning And she’s watching over me This angel on my shoulder Crying into the sea Georgia rain in my walking shoes I’ve got nothing to lose Tell me you won’t fade out Now the clouds are rolling in Maybe you remember Almost losing everything Georgia rain in my walking shoes I’ve got nothing to lose Somebody shine a light on me Georgia rain
6.	Tragic (free) 04:24	lyrics	download
this emotion this combination of colors this congregation of lovers I believe I've been confused by the tragic the melody of black magic and all my bad habits I believe I've been confused You're changing hands and i can see through it I'm falling short and no one can prove it there is nothing left but ashes and fools falling in love ashes and fools what do I know the valley of old love the symbols that washed up like a fog on the river what can I give her what life can we both live reflections of winter like a fog on the river this emotion this combination of colors this congregation of lovers I believe I've been confused by the tragic the melody of black magic and all my bad habits I believe I've been confused I believe I believe I've been confused

about

Krister Axel New York

Hi, my name is Krister Axel. I am a roots-rock veteran of the indie music scene, and I have a degree in Poetry. I am a published lyricist, composer, and songwriter. I started playing piano in White Plains, New York because our black upright piano fascinated me and my sisters hated their piano lessons. That was in the 80's and I have never stopped writing songs.
My music blog is called CHILLFILTR. ... more
