Songs » Bad Feeling

I’ve got a bad feeling you don’t want me anymore.
Download
A portrait of Kai looking out in the distance.
I've got a bad feeling
It's a bad feeling
I've got a bad feeling
I've got a bad feeling you don't want me anymore.
I've got a bad feeling you don't want me anymore.

I'm down about it 
I'm really down about it  
I've been down about it
I've been down down underground without you.
I've been down down wishin' you really understood.

I've got you 
On the brain, in my head and I could 
Just lose my mind 

I want to cry about you
But I can't cry
No matter how I try
Somebody help me cry 'cause I just can't do it alone.
Somebody help me cry 'cause I just can't do it alone.

Songs » I Can Feel the Darkness

Muddy water running through my brain to my soul.
Download
A portrait of Kai, expressionless, with light streaming from above.
I've been living a lie for much too long now.
Muddy water running through my brain to my soul.

Let me out of here, I need the rain
Let me out I can't stand the pain

Lei-lei, Cu-cu, Mei-mei, Lu-lu

I can feel the darkness now
My desire is pulling me inside out
I really don't know what it's all about
I've been in the dark so long
I just can't figure it out.

Every day I hear the call of temptation
That ball and chain drags me down the road to her door.

I never thought I would reach that place
Always believed I would see your face

Lei-lei, Cu-cu, Mei-mei, Lu-lu

I can feel the darkness now
Covering me all over like a shroud 
And I still don't know what it's all about
I've been in the dark so long
I just can't find my way out.

Lei-lei, Cu-cu, Mei-mei, Lu-lu

Songs » Marian

You’d already left before I knew I really did love you.
Download
A wooden bird figure sits on table covered by a red floral cloth.
Na-na na na
Na-na na na

Marian you loved me and I just played it cool  
A little too cool
You'd already left before I knew I really did love you
Did you even know love?

I was just too young to see how I could lose you so easy
It happened just like that!
Lose you forever, Marian

I was young and what a fool! I didn't know our love was true.
I was blind then, where are you now?
Gone far away
Come back Marian	
Gone far away
Gone far away
I never knew I was in love with you. 
Whew! 

I have the memory of Marian    
I have the memory of Marian
Na-na-na, na na 
Na-na, na na 
Na-na-na, na na 

I have the memory of Marian

Time has come and gone and I guess I got over it
Almost
You really could have waited for me to grow up
But you never did

I loved you Marian

I was just too young to see how I could lose you so easy
Lose you forever, Marian

I have the memory of Marian
Na-na-na, na na 
Na-na, na na 
Na-na-na, na na 

I have the memory of Marian

Songs » Never Stopped Loving You

You said you “just stopped loving” me. I still don’t know what that means.
Download 
What are the chances I would see you here today?
My flight delayed on account of rain.
Forty years—a long time to believe
I'd never see you again,
But somehow, you still look the same. 

Maybe I should have let you go on your way.
But I said hello, you smiled in your easy way.
Forty years and only 
One thing left to say:
I never stopped loving you.  

It all ended so mysteriously. You said, 
You "just stopped loving" me
I still don't know what that means
How was it so easy for you?

Was there something I could have done?
I guess I've wondered all along
Did you ever really love me at all?  
But I, I never stopped loving you! 

Well, life is short, and time has carried away
All of my anger, my hurt and some of the pain
Forty years, that's half our lives,
Don't know how much remains—
It sure is good to see you again. 
And I guess I will love you 'til the end.

Songs » Nice to Know

I’ve understood the new arrangement. You are different, I’m the same.
Download
Kai waters a young seedling enclosed in a chicken wire mesh guard.
It would be nice to know 
That you wanted me 
That you cared enough 
To take the time
To take my hand 
And kiss me 
It would be nice to know 

It would be nice to know 
That you think of me 
Sometime 
You remember why 
You remember how 
We used to be 
It would be nice to know 
It would be nice to know 

I love you dearly, let me show you, 
You are my life, my one and only,
Winds of change...are blowing me away. 

I've understood the new arrangement, 
You are different, I'm the same.
But I'm gonna...love you anyway.

Now it's nice to know
That you understood
You did not forget
The times we spent
Together
It's nice to know
Oh, yes, it's nice to know
It's nice to know.

Songs » No Matter How Much

Your love wasn’t wasted, no matter how much you wasted on me.
Download
Vivid orange flowers with dark green foliage at the community garden.
I am as free as a swallow in spring
You are a flower that grows by the sea 
The moment I kissed you a song was begun 
A song that had never ever been sung 
Ever been sung 

My wings are soldiers that long for the sky 
When they were broken you made them right 
I offered my love in only repair 
But I could not promise to always be there 
To always be there 

I could not promise to always be there

You are the flower that grows in the dark 
I am a song that is sung from afar 
The swan sings at night. In the morning he dies 
I'd sing forever if forever was mine 
If forever was mine 

You are the raindrop that falls in the dark 
Your love is the painfully breaking apart 
Your love is a spring that is warm to the touch 
Your love wasn't wasted no matter how much 
You wasted on me

Songs » Nobody’s Fool

Featuring Shelley Roth Seltzer
Download
Featuring Lesley Kernochan
Download
A pomegranate fruit ripening on the tree.
Sometimes you lose...
And sometimes you lose...
And sometimes you’ve got the blues.
Sometimes you’ve got the blues.
 
Sometimes you lose...
And sometimes you lose...
And sometimes you’ve got the blues.
Sometimes you’ve got the blues.
 
And it makes me wonder,
Yes, it makes me wonder
How did I ever fall for you?
How did I ever fall in love with you?
 
Ain’t nobody who’s nobody’s fool.
Ain’t nobody who’s nobody’s fool.
 
Instrumental:  (one verse)
 
Sing out the old
Bring in the new
Someone else is loving you.
Somebody else is loving you.
 
When you’re with another
When you’re in love with another
Still I am crazy over you.
Still I am crazy over you.
 
Ain’t nobody who’s nobody’s fool.
Ain’t nobody who’s nobody’s fool.
 
Nobody’s Fool, 
Nobody’s Fool, 
Nobody’s Fool, 
Yeah!

Songs » Remember Darling

Love me while the time is right. Leave now and I’ll dream of you tonight.
Download
Remember Darling (Illustrated by Nibu)
Remember Darling (Illustrated by Samuel)
Remember Darling (Illustrated by Youssef)
Hold me Darling for tonight 
Love me while the time is right 
Leave now and I'll dream of you tonight 

But Remember Darling, be gone by dawn 
You must be gone by dawn 
Together Darling, we must never be found 
You must be gone by dawn 

And I can't get you out of my head 
I can't get you out of my head 
Suddenly I think of you instead 
I can't get you out of my head 

Hold me, Darling, one more time, 
Let me sleep in your delight 
Kiss me now before you take your flight 

And flee you must, it's sad, it's true 
'Cause if we're found we'll both be ruined 
Go now while there's no more time to lose! 

And Remember Darling, be gone by dawn 
You must be gone by dawn 
Together Darling, we will never belong
You must be gone by dawn 

And I can't get you out of my head 
I can't get you out of my head 
Suddenly I think of you instead 
I can't get you out of my head

Songs » Something Between Us

Although we’re almost strangers, we seem to understand each other somehow.
Download
With his back to the camera, Kai gazes outward to a see traces of sunlight struggling through a cloudy sky.
There’s something between us.

Whenever I’m around you, I feel that
Old familiar feeling I seem to remember
From a long long time ago.

Although we’re almost strangers, we seem to
Understand each other somehow, and I admit
I have dreamed of loving you.

Please don’t fall in love with me
Please don’t fall in love with me
If you do
I could not keep myself
From falling in love with you.

There’s something between us. I feel a
Pull and a push at the same time,
And somehow I will miss you tonight.

It might be nice if only in another
Time or place or some other life,
Not today…not even tomorrow.

So please don’t fall in love with me
Please don’t fall in love with me
If you do
I could not keep myself
From falling in love with you.

There’s something between us…
