1.	Meggie's Goin' Home 03:26	lyrics	buy track
Here she comes, with her long dark hair Here she comes, with that magic in her eyes Here she comes, with that love in the air There she goes, I can feel her everywhere Meggies goin home Don't go, don't go Meggies goin home Meggies goin home But I know she'll think of us And the Sun comes through my window And her memory, warms my heart She's goin to Colorado But I know that I'll see her again Here she comes, with her long dark hair Here she comes, with that magic in her eyes Here she comes, with that love in the air There she goes, I can feel her everywhere Meggies goin home Don't go, don't go Meggies goin home Meggies goin home But I know she'll think of us Meggies goin home, she's goin to Colorado... She ain't never coming back... (I'll take a trip, so our love can grow by the mountainside) (I'll take a trip, to wake up in the morning to her beautiful eyes) And the Sun comes through the window As we're driving through the Rocky Mountain high... Meggies goin home, she's goin to Colorado, Meggies goin home... I'll take a trip, to wake up in the morning to your beautiful eyes I'll take a trip, to wake up in the morning to your beautiful eyes... Copyright: Robert Edward Schaarschmidt, 2017.

What's that in front of me? Real life or fantasy? Going for the distance Ain't as easy as they said it'd be. What's that? You see it too? Distant Flames burning true If both of us are crazy Let's enjoy the ride and see this through... Are we gonna get to the place we wanna go? Talk to me baby, crack another joke... Are we gonna get to the place we wanna go? Talk to me baby, crack another coke... Are we gonna get to the place we wanna go? Talk to me baby, crack another joke... Are we gonna get to the place we wanna go? What's that in front of me? Real life or fantasy? Going for the distance Ain't as easy as they said it'd be. What's that? You see it too? Distant Flames burning true If both of us are crazy Let's enjoy the ride and see this through... What's that ahead of us? Mountains or a cloud of dust? Are we going crazy Or is this a sign of happiness? Laughter all through the night Stories of truth delight Distant flames are burning Always churning Always outta sight... Are we gonna get to the place we wanna go? Talk to me baby, crack another joke... Are we gonna get to the place we wanna go? Talk to me baby, crack another coke... Are we gonna get to the place we wanna go? Talk to me baby, crack another joke... Are we gonna get to the place we wanna go? What's that in front of them? A factory or a gas station? Going for the distance Ain't as easy as they thought it'd be Stay awake, better chug that coke Johnny's out after one last toke Bob and Meg gonna lose their minds On a desert road On a Friday night... What's that in front of me? Real life or fantasy? Going for the distance Ain't as easy as they said it'd be. What's that? You see it too? Distant Flames burning true If both of us are crazy Let's enjoy the ride and see this through... What's that ahead of us? Mountains or a cloud of dust? Are we going crazy Or is this a sign of happiness? Laughter all through the night Stories of truth delight Distant flames are burning Always churning Always outta sight...

Sometimes I wonder If you feel like I do I want to reach out And talk to you Might make no difference Or maybe it will I just want you to know... My heartbeat is still... Until you're close by my side I just, want you to know I really love you so I just, want you to see How much you mean to me I just, want you to know I really love you so I just, want you to see How much you mean to me Sometimes I wonder If you're feelin' alright I want to comfort you And stay for the night If I'm distracting you With too many questions Please forgive me I just want to mention... My heartbeat is still... Until you're close by my side I just, want you to know I really love you so I just, want you to see How much you mean to me I just, want you to know I really love you so I just, want you to see How much you mean to me (instrumental break) I just, want you to know I really love you so I just, want you to see How much you mean to me I just, want you to know I really love you so I just, want you to see How much you mean to me (I really love you baby I think about you everyday, all the time, you're on my mind) I just, want you to be Safe and happy I just, want you to know I really love you so Copyright Robert Edward Schaarschmidt, 2017.
4.	You Are Everywhere 05:03	lyrics	buy track
Suddenly Awoken from my dream Into a lonely scene You're not there But I can smell your hair And I can feel your kiss I lift myself up And I walk out that door I know that sooner or later I'll be wrapped up Into your arms And then I look all around I see the sights and the sounds That bring me closer to you I need something to remember I see some kind of future I want something to remember I see some kind of future With you... Can't we sleep Until the sunlight creeps Through the windowpane Now we rest You're breathin' on my chest I'll never let you go Suddenly Awoken from my dream Into a lonely scene You're not there But I can smell your hair And I can feel your kiss I lift myself up And I walk out that door I know that sooner or later I'll be wrapped up Into your arms And then I look all around I see the sights and the sounds That bring me closer to you I need something to remember I see some kind of future I want something to remember I see some kind of future With you... I hope you see it too... Another day Passes me by And I keep on discoverin' Memories of you and I A pair of earrings in my room Sunglasses in my car Photographs of us Hangin' at the bar You are everywhere... Suddenly Awoken from my dream Into a lovely scene You are here And I can feel you breath And I can kiss your face We're in love And we can share this life And we can do what's right Let's explore ourselves And so much more And we can groove into the light We can groove into the light We can groove into the light We can groove into the light We can groove into the light Another day passes me by And I keep on discoverin' Memories of you and I A pair of earrings in my room Sunglasses in my car Photographs of us Hangin' at the bar You are everywhere... You are everything... Copyright Robert Edward Schaarschmidt, 2017.
5.	Nothing 11:04	lyrics	buy track
Part I: CHANGE OF SEASON We traveled far, takin' it slow Gave we had, a chance to grow Out of the summer, into the snow Nothing stays the same You reap what you sow Watch one bird fly away Feel it's emptiness And hear it sing Take another look to the sky today Hear it's greatness And feel it's wind To be alone - Is to begin To build a home - free of sin Turn off the lights Close the shades No goodbye, nothing more to say All we've known Now has no reason Total reset - Change of season Part II: REFLECTIONS Time, to melt away... Nothing more to say... Time, to melt away... Nothing more to say... Now, all I can see Staring back at me Everything I should've done Change, all I can feel Only what is real Something's I've said Can't be unsung Us, all we can be Life is but a dream What has been planned Has now just begun... Part III: CONSTANT FORWARD MOTIONS Chasing all the good times Floatin' in my head Swimmin' to the surface Fallin' out of bed Constant forward motions Keeping me alive Living, breathing oceans Drifting towards the light... Phasing out the bad times Runnin' straight ahead Climbin' up the mountains Magma flowing red Constant forward motions Teachin' me to strive Gonna build a better world We won't have to cry... Watching all the creatures Livin' out their lives I can see the reasons Why we have to fight Everyone is waiting For their second sight Every single person Every single night Can we find the reasons Can we make things right Constant forward motions Keeping us alive...

about

"Distant Flames" is a conceptual love story, written and recorded throughout 2017. It is a musical memoir for myself, but I feel that everybody can relate to these songs and find their own meanings to these shapes and sounds, and that's what's so satisfying about music and being a musician; knowing that in some way, I can reach out and talk to you.
