@jasperdick and I don't record enough during our rehearsals and I'd love to get tome more candid videos.
It's been a long, long time since I wrote a song. I've been writing fragments since mid 2022 when it felt like my life fell apart and I was drowning in loss and anger. Everything I wrote just sounded... broken.
I lost my dad, my uncle, 2 one year old gorgeous cats - a year apart, the kids lost their biological mom, both of my Uncles passed away - my Dad's brother just a few weeks after my Dad passed, my career imploded and I was diagnosed with an essentially inoperable bone disorder which has left me partially disabled.
That was a lot to deal with... and on top of it all, the person who usually sits my my side and holds me so close, that we could taste each others tears - decided to cut ties with me. I think out of everything, That hurt the most.
Through all this hurt and anger, I had incredible support from my partner and husband person, @zakludick, who helped me navigate the healing process.
I also had a shitload of therapy.
Jasper Dick and what we have created in MobeyDick has also been my guiding light and my lifeline.
Music has brought me immeasurable joy and I can say that although I still get nervous, my debilitating stage fright died with my father. I realized so deeply, that life ends and chances eventually run out. My father was a immensely talented musician but was constantly waiting for everything to be perfect - until he had a stroke in 2017 leaving him paralyzed on the right side of his body and unable to play guitar ever again. He suffered with this loss for 6 years before he just couldn't anymore. And it broke my heart in the end.
At the end of the day though, I am left feeling so grateful for those who stood by me until I could finally see light again.
Just a few weeks ago, I churned out three new songs, just like that! Incredible how it just came to me.
I wrote these lyrics and composed this song with @jasperdick and I'll share the other two soon.
It's just incredible that the timing coincided with another tragic loss, of my ex sister in law who just passed away at the age of 48. She used to spend so much time with me, playing with my hair, helping me dye it every colour under the sun and being an incredible sister. Her door was always open to me, even more than a decade after I after I split with my ex.
This song was written for my own healing but is dedicated to each soul, living or dead, that I'm still grieving the loss of.
"In My Dreams" - Claire Mobey
In my dreams, you are all I need
While I lie sleeping, there you are with me
My dreams ain't got a good sense of the time
And they can't count the years wasted, gone by
And in my Dreams
I know it's all a lie
But in my Dreams
You never said goodbye
No matter how hard I try
I can't stay asleep, I'll die
Even though I know that's how you'd stay with me
You brush my hair and pin a butterfly
You see my soul when you look through my eyes
I'm fast asleep but I know it ain't right
I shut my eyes, yeah God I squeeze them tight
'Cause in my Dreams
I know it's all a lie
But in my Dreams
You never said goodbye
No matter how hard I try
I can't stay asleep I'll die
Even though I know that's how you'd stay with me
I feel the air moving across my face
As you whisper I love you in an embrace
The harder I try to hold onto you
The more you fade away just like I knew
That in my Dreams
I know it's all a lie
And in my Dreams
You never said goodbye
This time I swear that I'll try
To stay asleep although I'll die
'Cause that's the only way you'd stay with me
If that's the only way you'd stay with me.
Seeing them perform together has always been wonderful and this does not escape from that beautiful feeling they give us. I miss @jasperdick so much. Hope all is going well over there. Big hugs to both of you 🤗
Awww thank you my friend. We haven't been posting much music lately. Both our lives have been hectic for different reasons, but music always brings us together!
