[Pre-Chorus Hook Setup] He pulled me in like a blazing breeze His voice a whisper through the trees
[Verse 1] We met that night under the garden glow A blind date but his smile stole the show His laugh lit the air like a melody One touch and it all felt like destiny
[Pre-Chorus Hook Setup] He pulled me in like a blazing breeze His voice a whisper through the trees
[Chorus] 'Cause we were tipsy on more than wine Hearts in rhythm bodies aligned Desert nights in the firelight glow Burning fast but we took it slow
[Verse 2] He had root beer eyes and wild dark hair The kind of beauty that's rare but bare We swayed in the kitchen to an old love song The night was simple but it felt so strong
[Bridge] He kissed me slow like a Phoenix rain Soft and fierce but wild with pain
[Pre-Chorus Hook Setup] He pulled me in like a blazing breeze His voice a whisper through the trees
[Chorus Repeat] 'Cause we were tipsy on more than wine Hearts in rhythm bodies aligned Desert nights in the firelight glow Burning fast but we took it slow
[Pre-Chorus Hook Setup] He pulled me in like a blazing breeze His voice a whisper through the trees
[Bridge 2] I watched his car fade down the street A memory carved in every heartbeat I never saw his face again But I feel him when the desert sings
[Pre-Chorus Fading] He pulled me in like a blazing breeze His voice a whisper through the trees
[Chorus Fade Out] 'Cause we were tipsy on more than wine Hearts in rhythm bodies aligned Desert nights in the firelight glow Burning fast but we took it slow

"Songs of the Desert" The Slow Build of a Double Album: Songs of the Desert began as sound. Late nights. Windows open. Heat still hanging in the air. These songs weren’t written with vinyl in mind. They were written because they needed to exist.
The album is built as a living cycle, where Track 18 folds back into Track 1 and the story begins again. The loop mirrors the way love, heartbreak, healing, and self-discovery return to us throughout life.
A phone rings, another call goes unanswered.
Into my backlog,
Another forgotten task.
Why don’t they leave me alone.
They always want my attention.
A problem solved.
But the problem is them, not me.
Thunder breaks me open from within.
Lightning strikes the peak
of my secret garden.
A twister forms,
pulling all the air inward.
As it touches down
At the center of my flower.
A rhythmic thirst pulling me deep,
My hips begin to rise,
I grasp the sheet, holding on,
not to be sucked into the storm.

with Co-Creator Alice —
There’s no need to talk.
We listen to the trees,
to our breath,
to that quiet space,
where something could happen,
but doesn’t have to,
and let the moment,
speak decision.
