This is my fifth demo track I've done with AVLI (Avi Avliav) of Avli Music Productions, Inc. in Woodland Hills, CA and it's an epic, tense pop song with musical/lyrical themes that reflect the mixture of anxiety and grim determination that comes with chasing a dream.
lyrics
Verse 1:
Twenty-six hundred miles away,
there's a place where I'd like to stay,
mmm day by day,
man I got that airport runway callin' my name
I've built it up in my mind at this point,
I'm runnin' outta time at this point,
The situation's getting so dire,
Fortune come take me higher
Chorus:
I need a miracle
to get out of here, to finally escape, don't wanna feel like I'm slippin' away,
One tiny miracle
to get out of here, to finally escape, don't wanna feel like I'm slippin' away,
I need a miracle,
I'm not gettin' younger, unsatisfied hunger, this desperate longing is takin' me under,
One tiny miracle,
I'm not gettin' younger, unsatisfied hunger, this desperate longing is takin' me under, ooh-woah, ooh yeah, it's takin' me under, ooh-woah, ooh yeah
Verse 2:
I don't go out when everybody else goes out
'cause I'm only off Tuesdays and Wednesdays,
and I've been known to act a little crazy myself,
so don't listen to the things that your friends say
Think you hit a nerve but I've heard it all before,
heard it all before, h-h-heard it all before-fore
What you're sayin' sounds absurd and I've heard it all before,
heard it all before, h-h-heard it all before
Chorus:
I need a miracle
to get out of here, to finally escape, don't wanna feel like I'm slippin' away,
One tiny miracle
to get out of here, to finally escape, don't wanna feel like I'm slippin' away,
I need a miracle,
I'm not gettin' younger, unsatisfied hunger, this desperate longing is takin' me under,
One tiny miracle,
I'm not gettin' younger, unsatisfied hunger, this desperate longing is takin' me un--
Bridge:
Baby don't lecture me, show respect to me,
though I know that the shit is earned.
I don't have to read twenty books
just because you got your feelings hurt.
Ooh and moreover,
I want out this apartment,
I don't wanna be starvin',
I ain't never been phony,
won't let money control me,
Rest in Peace to the bullshit,
gotta free my soul
Chorus:
I need a miracle
to get out of here, to finally escape, don't wanna feel like I'm slippin' away,
One tiny miracle
to get out of here, to finally escape, don't wanna feel like I'm slippin' away,
I need a miracle,
I'm not gettin' younger, unsatisfied hunger, this desperate longing is takin' me under,
One tiny miracle,
I'm not gettin' younger, unsatisfied hunger, this desperate longing is takin' me under, ooh-woah, ooh yeah, it's takin' me under, ooh-woah, ooh yeah

Super dreamy and spacey, just the way I like it. Beautiful music, recommended for fans of Best Coast, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, and other bands. Check 'em out! "D'Arrest" is my favorite! Reuben Walton
