Foreword
The world exists in memory... memory comes into consciousness; consciousness exists in awareness, and awareness is the reflection of the light on the waters of existence.
Dreams and Reflections a collection of songs, works in progress, by H.C.Love...
Drawing upon archetypal energies, these introspective songscapes journey through past present and future realms, going within in order to ultimately transcend various forms of pain and suffering. At times melancholy, with a meditative tone, these songs also convey an underlying strength. Inspiration for these songs often comes from dreams, as in the song,"Iron Age" where Love writes, "Out side a crowd of people standin by... A rock had torn away to reveal the water inside. I took my hand to touch it and I, I felt it, suspended in time..."
Combining plaintiff vocals, with gently layered harmonies. Love's voice feels close up lending a vulnerable quality, while simultaneously combining a sense of being far, far away. A strong connection to the ocean, her love of animals and nature, provides a con-stant source of reverence and inspiration.
As a child, Love was drawn to the magical mystery and beauty of music, poetry and the arts. Journeys to other lands, opened her eyes to other cultures, and ways of life. Love's personal experience and observations are what continue to fuel concerns pertaining to a perceived misuse of power in our world, the struggle to belong, and stay true to ourselves...
H.C.Love shares what her greatest desire and intention for her music is by saying, " Creating these songs has helped me to face, and also come to terms with both personal and collective forms of suffering. I am deeply satisfied when a song can connect with, and inspire those souls who are faced with similar struggles, to carry on, and to communicate that they are not alone on their journey.
In the realm of the heart I find you, my friend... you whose howl lingers amidst the cold morning mist. As day light emerges, your cry echoes through the canyon. It is a cry of longing, a cry of being separated from your brothers. Your voice is the carrier that will bring you home to the place where love dwells...

Lyrics
"Glimpses"
So I awake and glimpses remain of dreams that come again and again. A beautiful site,
on top of a hill, the land felt right lots of space, sunlight.
Im getting used to the view
gettin used to the view,
gonna share it with you.
It just feels right ,open space and sunlight .
I must break free from old memories, set in motion like the clouds glide across the ocean,
and I let go and let it flow.
Im takin it slow,
and I dont know,
it just feels right open space and sunlight.
So I awake and glimpses remain.
"Dark Sky"
Dark Sky above, reminds me of you.
Another day, takes me away...
Go to sleep, my baby
and in your dreams, you can be with me.
Go to sleep, my baby.
Go to sleep,
go to sleep...
here comes the sea, overtaking me
washing away, all that used to be.
Here comes the sea,
showing no mercy.
Go to sleep,
go to sleep...
The water, washes over me, gently.
Here comes the sea overtaking me
washing away, all that used to be.
Here comes the sea showing no mercy...
Go to sleep,
go to sleep.
Dark sky above, take care of yourself,
this time.
In time, we all must die.
"Deep in a Dream"
Tomorrow, when I see there isnt a chance,
no chance for me.
I just want to be somebody else,
somebody else.
And I know your heading South,
I dont even question what its all about .
I can see now that Im left out.
Is it me, am I thinking to loud,thinking too loud ?
And I am laying down on the road.
I cant move, theres nowhere to go.
And theres a car heading straight for me
I can't feel, but I can see .
I can see
Its me,
its me...
Deep in a dream.
Its me, deep in a dream.
After all is said and done, your the only one.
The only one,
the only one.
"Iron Age"
Outside a crowd of people standing by,
a rock had torn away
to reveal the water inside.
I took my hand
to touch it and I,
I felt it suspended in time.
Ohhhhhhh suspended in time...
And I was walking got into a theater.
Was watching a movie sitting next to young strangers.
A girl on the left and a boy on the right .
I'm in the middle, and I couldn't figure it out,
and it became ,very loud, and I covered my ears,
but this did not help.
In the iron age
I'm a songbird in a cage.
I'm dreaming of
a time when I
feel a little like,I'm in love,
in love with life.
In the iron age,
I'm a songbird in a cage,
songbird in a cage.
