Life Feels Better by the Water

by Jeanette Berry

Idk about you but I feel most alive when I’m outside I feel a deeper connection to the earth And to all that live on it I breathe more deeply The denser the trees become The green It hugs me and opens up my lungs I am able to breath And sigh in relief that These trees and me need each other Just like moon and the sea. Bathing in the moonlight On this sandy shore Even one I’ve never been to before Brings me peace and joy To take in the oceans presences Gives me a better view Of who i am And my place in the universe Because once you told me On a moonlit sandy beach That your love for me Reaches far and deep Like the ocean Now there are scores we’ve never reached before In both love and the dive And if this all ends you and me I contend that it’ll never ruin this view And as we plant our feet anywhere in the dirt, in the sand, in the oceans gentle waves I know that We are all connected And I’ll come back here I’ll always pay homage to Our love and the sea Because life feels better by the water Even if you’re not with me

You and me got something there Where it goes I really don't care Hard as it is to find true love I'd like to know the feeling of You and me for the night Just a moment not a life Maybe just for the summer Maybe just for the fall I'm hype to get to love you At all I just want the chance to love you Not even for a lifetime but for the time of your life Once upon a time I thought I knew what Love could look like But all the sudden you came by It's in your eyes They want me so But for how long I'll never know So lets make this a very very special time Cause Loving you would make me happy Loving you would make me smile learning all the ways you need to be loved Only makes me more alive With each way I learn to show you true love My walls begin to fall Making it so much easier for me to be loved at all I just want the chance to love you Not even for a lifetime but for the time of your life

We met at the ocean The beach was empty It was just you and I The stars looked down Jealous of how bright we shined A light in the dark You held me close Smelled of home I floated Here in the moment But yet above Floating Look in my eyes make me melt My chest rises as I breathe in your magic Look in my eyes make me melt My chest rises as I breathe in your magic And when we kiss Time stood still We held on Knowing what comes In the morning You'd be gone Floating Look in my eyes make me melt My chest rises as I breathe in your magic Look in my eyes make me melt My chest rises as I breathe in your magic May we steal away Like this forever Floating Like this forever May we steal away Like this forever Oh A light in the dark You held me And smelled of home We steal away Floating We steal away Like this forever

Remember Me 03:00
I never had much in the way of material things Never had too much to give But always gave so much away It was never enough to be seen on the stages and screen I just want to tell the truth Want the world to feel something I hope you remember me By the beauty I've shared By the love I have shown But the works I have done I hope you remember me By the beauty I've shared By the love I have shown But the works I have done It was all much simpler when I didn't think of dollars and cents When I sat down to write a new song The goal was to get you to sing along but Money made by powerful men Never trickled down to my pen But my goal is you'll stick around And tell all your friends about my sound I hope you remember me By the beauty I've shared By the love I have shown But the works I have done

about

This album was made during our lockdown from songs written during that time (Floating) and the others before the lockdown began. I'm so grateful for this work. The unfortunate aspect is that this album was released at 12am on August 12th, but my attention was to the passing of my mother less than 12 hours later. I love this work and it got placed on the back burner. But I want to continue to share it because I am so so proud of it. Please enjoy it as the weather warms and the days are longer.

- Jeanette

We are all born with a song. That song can be performed in many different ways. In this chapter of my life, I'm performing that song by writing songs, essays, and poetry.
