Our Dreams 02:44
lyrics
There must be a reason to why we came here With so much confusion it’s not always clear And I know it seems like all the good times are gone But we’re going to bring them back where they belong For we’re going to live in peace with each other In a world where everyone loves one another And when all the roadblocks finally fall away We’ll be living the dream we imagined some day And there’s a mystery in the forest beckoning us Will we have the courage to go I hear the calling of the nature spirits saying We must rebuild what was long ago When it comes to our dreams… Let them inspire us so we can make them all come true For Dreamtime is all around us Especially when we play So don’t forget our dreams For they are real and are meant to be So don’t forget our dreams Because they mean so much to you and me Lyrics, music and sound production by Richard Alan Krieger ”Crane” Copyright © 2023

Where We Belong 03:02
lyrics
It’s been too long… that we’ve been living in the city It feels so wrong… being far from the country Remember those days… sharing feelings so real? Out in nature we’d play… where our souls would heal Let’s return to being happy again When we act natural we don’t have to pretend Life makes sense whenever we follow our hearts It’s time for us to make a brand new start Let’s take a road trip and leave this world far behind There’s so much beauty out there that we can find We’ll kick off our shoes and run through The grass singing our love songs Then we’ll find ourselves back home… Where We Belong Lyrics, music, performance and sound production by Crane Copyright © 2023 https://studio.youtube.com/video/biKEBvZqqKI/edit

Wake Up The Neighbors! 02:45
lyrics
We're going to Wake Up The Neighbors Invite them over tonight We're going to Wake Up The Neighbors And tell them they're alright We're going to Wake Up The Neighbors And tell them we don't need that wall between us What good are the neighbors If they're not there when you need them? Sometimes you know I think they don't care But I'm not going to give up on them until we're friends The other day I saw the neighbors watering their front lawn I yelled out, "Hey! What's Up?" And "What's been going on?" They looked at me then they just walked away We're going to Wake Up The Neighbors Invite them over tonight We're going to Wake Up The Neighbors And tell them they're alright We're going to Wake Up The Neighbors And tell them we don't need that wall between us It's getting harder and harder to make good friends today If you come on over we'll find some records to play We can make total fools of ourselves... Until the morning comes The next day I couldn't believe it The neighbors called up to say "Hello!" We don’t want you mad at us Because we like to stay at home Well, that's okay... but let's keep in touch We're going to Wake Up The Neighbors Invite them over tonight We're going to Wake Up The Neighbors And tell them they're alright We're going to Wake Up The Neighbors And tell them we don't need that wall between us Lyrics, music, performance and sound production by Richard Alan Krieger “Crane” Copyright © 2019 Cover Art by Richard Alan Krieger

The Lake 01:41
lyrics
buy track
Pastoral haze evocative water The grass is set into a mobile sonata Conducting a semblance in the cool breeze The conductor instructs ultramarine cast shadows In the sky and the water We hear sonic whispers from the lake A subtle calling a chant just for us That we are lucky to experience as We see… feel and live The Lake is a crucible a clasping of earth’s hands The water of life is there and understands We must see this to know what is important and real The Lake is here right in front of us To help us reflect and heal Lyrics by Leslie H Skip Enge Music and sound production by Richard Alan Krieger “Crane” Copyright © 2020 Cover Art by Richard Alan Krieger

Maple Falls 02:13
lyrics

We walk down a split rail fence Past the gentle chorus of water from a spring Surrounded by hills that hug you close Past weathered trunks lit by the pale of the light Comforted by sheltering clouds From above the patter of hail A squalling message…. whispered from above And love…. with solitude and quietness The fall is here and this is where we live…. in Maple Falls As leaves drift and dance…in Maple Falls From arms stretched above…in Maple Falls Holding us in a kind of slumber…in Maple Falls As we enter our cabin caste in umber…in Maple Falls Lyrics by Leslie H Skip Enge Music, performance and sound production by Richard Alan Krieger “Crane” Copyright © 2017 Cover Art by Richard Alan Krieger

The River of Life 03:01
lyrics
Swimming in the river of life Got to stay above the waterline With so much division and strife It’s hard to find a piece of mind If you want to make the world a little better Then align yourself with the light If we just love one another Then everything will be alright Have we forgotten our humanity? It’s our commonality that will create peace and harmony The River of Life keeps our love a flowing Embrace the goodness in each of other that’s waiting to be found The River of Life is understanding by knowing Making friends wherever we go heading homeward bound The River of Life Lyrics, music and sound production by Richard Alan Krieger “Crane” Copyright © 2020

The Banks of the River 01:36
lyrics
Along the banks of a river the cottonwoods grow in profusion, greedily soaking in the flow. Along the banks of a river. They whisper amongst themselves, their leaves shimmering in the gentle wind, their heads nodding and bowing to each other, courtiers of the bright morning. The deer meander grazing. The dark blue, the never ending, the stars wheeling slowly. Along the banks of a river… The tree a true giant, it's stature windblown and rugged. The dark plain grasses whitely dip and sway, the shadow of the wind ripples outward in all directions. Writ clearly: the endless formulation of dancing cloud.

Naked 03:26
lyrics
Walk through a wet forest Swampland back rippling in stride The same snakes laid down Gone to ground Into the roots of forest thickness where that cabin stays On the edge of a meadow my home the sky Unafraid of fire we fly up the chimney… To the vast above Called upon by grace To hang me naked on the wall Then wrap up in the stars to grow my wings From a cloud that covers the moon Lyrics by Susan Loehe Music and sound production by Crane Copyright © 2023 Cover art by Richard Alan Krieger Lyrics based on the poem “Naked” by Susan Loehe https://vocal.media/poets/naked-3r38d0zfo

In Silence 02:08
lyrics
Standing at a window in the nights uncounted A baby on your shoulder rocking All those listening faces all the words written for later Centuries of hours of quiet How sleeping the pictures flow How removed from decisions there How another world could be known in sound or symbol… In Silence A face lifting unseen for the sun's kiss A memory everyone but you is blind to And the sound of waves Hours upon hours unknown Invisible hearts only watching Some quiet street and the leaves dancing How sleeping the pictures flow How removed from decisions there How another world could be known in sound or symbol… In Silence Lyrics by Susan Loehe Music and sound production by Crane Copyright © 2023 Artwork by Susan Loehe Based on Susan Loehe’s poem In Silence https://vocal.media/poets/in-silence-d8h3dw048h SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/euphorias-destination/in-silence YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da8-qEkQNwg

We Can Be Real 01:17
lyrics
At the end of our rope there seems to be no hope But look up and you will see a rainbow for you and me When the chips are down the heroes will be found For we are the ones that we’ve been waiting for A sleeping giant has awakened As the people rise again We’re not gonna be robots In a nightmare that never ends As we return to Mother Nature Our broken hearts will naturally heal No longer will the artificial rule And once again we can be real Lyrics, music and sound production by Richard Alan Krieger “Crane” Copyright © 2021 Cover Art by Richard Alan Krieger

Reminiscing 02:21
lyrics
Taken by surprise We never thought it would end What a wonderful ride We were good friends Reminiscing walking hand and hand Reminiscing riding our bikes on the strand Reminiscing holding each other tight Through the night Those were the days We enjoyed simple things Our care free ways You made my heart sing Reminiscing united in love we care Reminiscing feeling compassion we share Reminiscing guided by truth we’ll get there Reminiscing...

Only Love 01:41
lyrics
Born of Memory forever steps lightly Playing songs by hint of Shadow The shift of Winds the painted horizon Worlds of sweet inclinations Some comforting certainty paces Cages without bars Creatures drawn by Star mapping Tell of fortunes unlimited Ghost mistily appear upon the view Blue rain is beading now Into a million Reflections upon the lenses Only Love Holding the candle in this Snow Then Stars can take hold their glittering On the deep frozen expanse Upon the worlds above as well All endless cycling fire Days chasing days on a bed of sky Only Love… Lyrics by Susan Loehe Music and sound production by Richard Alan Krieger "Crane" Artwork by Susan Loehe Copyright © 2020 Note: Lyrics based on the poem “Myths of Lost Horizons” by Susan Loehe https://vocal.media/authors/susan-marie-loehe

With Intimacy 01:54
lyrics
Where were you my friend? Lost in a mist… you didn’t intend We met upon a flying carpet… On a breath of wind… that never ends Hands held clasped in surrender On this trapeze sighs the wind A chance meeting a pleasant surprise And there you were…. before my eyes Now we share our time once again in such a casual way We breath… we laugh… and we talk together… With so much to say So take my hand and walk with me As our hearts touch each other…with intimacy Lyrics by Leslie H Skip Enge Music and sound production by Richard Alan Krieger “Crane” Copyright © 202 Cover Art by Richard Alan Krieger

Reunion 02:01
lyrics
I walked… into see… who was who Selected faces… of whom, I thought I knew It became a blur… a vast expanse of faded memories… And you know that... Life and all that transgresses the past With the immediate we coalesce over time Intermittent and sublime with heartfelt memories And visits remind me again of what I have forgotten Only to find this reunion of heart and mind Makes us realize…. that the past… is hard to find Over the expanse of time Lyrics by Leslie H Skip Enge Music and sound production by Richard Alan Krieger “Crane” Copyright © 2015 Cover Art by Richard Alan Krieger

This Is Not Our Home 01:58
lyrics
Remembering singing songs In a world where people got along A distant dream we’ll always feel And by giving love we’ll make it real This is not our home we’ve come from far away Nice place to visit but we can’t stay Greener pastures await for you and me And eventually that’s where we’ll gonna be This is not our home but that’s okay As long as we’re together living for today This is not our home but let’s make it right Until we find ourselves in a world full of love and light Sometimes we wonder why we came here A lively discussion over some beers We can learn our lessons along with having fun While making the world a better place for everyone This is not our home but that’s okay As long as we’re together living for today This is not our home but let’s make it right Until we find ourselves in a world full of love and light Lyrics, music and sound production by Crane Copyright © 2020 Artwork by Richard Alan Krieger

The Dreams of Yesterday 01:24
lyrics
The Dreams of Yesterday… slowly drift away but we mustn’t let them go Forever in our hearts… they are apart of a greater love we know The challenges we face have been there all along Now is the time for us to finally fix what’s wrong The Dreams of Yesterday will return once again so keep the faith my friend The Dreams of Yesterday need to come to be for they are our destiny… The Dreams of Yesterday Lyrics, music and sound production by Richard Alan Krieger “Crane” Copyright © 2021

Scientific Proof 01:29
lyrics
Way out in left field where energy and matter can’t be destroyed Where clocks can’t watch what’s rearranged as we transform Flexible to experiment with endless possibilities Building on what is found erasing the boundaries If it could be pinpointed as such would it be different than The courage to come face to face with oncoming trains? Expectations for something worthwhile Investing in that what seems to make sense Nothing ever happens when we try too hard We don’t need your evidence Lyrics, music and sound production by Richard Alan Krieger “Crane” Copyright © 1983

Eve 02:00
lyrics
The air is crisp as the sun falls Here comes the edge of sight and it’s dark walls Sunset creeps towards the night And the darkness can now remain The stars are bright as ink that bleeds a stain The light is but a ghost on this winter’s day The wonder of sleep and promises we keep While away before dawn a new beginning When nights lid begins to slide open Once more with a hopeful surprise It’s quiet and close as the nights curtain falls The eve sings to the stars a most welcoming song A voice of peace and a sense of belonging As the edge of night bows to Eve Lyrics by Leslie H Skip Enge Music and sound production by Richard Alan Krieger “Crane” Copyright © 2017 Cover Art by Richard Alan Krieger

Oh The Stars 02:40
lyrics
Oh the stars And arms of ocean The hillside of shoulder The jaw of ridge The mouth of river it's silver strands of flow Oh the stars The wave of curling waist The fire in the center Deep flames breathing the red Ridge of tree burning Thoughts chasing clouds The flow of wind whisper But oh the stars Cloud masking the eye of the moon Shadows casting on the cheek of the earth The moss underfoot The changing of the distance from warmth The season of life But oh the stars… lyrics by Susan Loehe music by Crane Copyright © 2023 Cover Art by Richard Alan Krieger susan marie loehe (poetry website) https://vocal.media/authors/susan-marie-loehe YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkcZG_CnlDw&feature=youtu.be SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/euphorias-destination/oh-the-stars
