This was written right after a dream. I initially included some piano tips but then just went with the tune and let it write itself. The tips were for time signatures. It's the only track with any keyboard/synth on it. (That is the truth I swear!)

The world is in the final throes of death. Two people face the darkness of the future, content in the lives they've lived. The great unknown approaches. Though the characters are not alone, the song oozes a deadly amount of lonliness. The cup of meloncholy overflows into a deluge that floods the mind like a symbolic ocean of tears. Life is castaway on a current that will never return to any place of the living as there will no longer be any place to live.

SOMBER SOLACE
By: Jose’ Luis Diaz-11-17-2008-6:00am-6:39am-after dream
(V-1) (Vox 4/4-piano 2/4)
I don’t know what you’ll dream my friend, but I’ll be right here to the end
Remembering, the things we dreamed

I don’t know where you’ll go my friend, but I’m sure we’ll get there again
Remembering, the way it seemed

The sun is softly trembling, I don’t think it will rise again
Remember them, the warmth within

If we pull the shades we’ll miss the stars, though the closest ones are still too far
Will you find me---H, will I find you---H

(Chorus) (Piano 4/4-arppeggioes)
The world outside is pretzel bent,
The two of us lie here content
Remembering, good time spent
Remembering, the way things went
Remembering, remembering------H
(V-2)
I will dream of you my friend, so you can be there in the end
Remembering, the dreams we dreamed

I don’t know where we go from here, but I’m sure we’ll all get there again
Remembering, the way it seemed

The wind won’t blow between the leaves, but we’ll all taste what memories leave
Remember them, the warmth within

We made it thru a million wars, but this is worse by far and far
Will you find me---H, will I find you---H
(Bridge)
The memories fly away, skipping on the moments
The memories fly away, dive into the distance
The silence invades----H, as what we are fades------H
(Lead)
(Chorus here)
(Lead out/fade out)
