LYRICS:
SKYLINE
(polinar)
we’ve all been there before
still craving for more
then we pretend we have enough to breathe
keep wearing the mask
someday it won’t last
this stage will have a final curtain call
we keep on dancing when the music plays
just hoping to keep going everyday
Chorus:
don’t you dare and stop until you find
the sweetest sound hanging by the skyline
lay it down and leave it all behind
we’re strolling under love’s sunshine
singing “night is ending one day we’ll all be fine”
remember the past
know all this will pass
The future only comes
when we rest in presents hands
we can never be too sure
life is crazy even when we swore
we should never walk so insecure
we keep on dancing as the music plays
just hoping to keep going everyday
Bridge:
we keep the rhythm as the music fades
slow dancing when moon shines at your face

It’s THURSDAY! So here’s another “song club” thing. I skipped last week but figured to make it up this week. The keyphrase was “the sweetest sound.” So yet again, I just want to emphasize the caveat that NOTHING IS FINAL. :) I’m just sharing ‘cause I’m caring…hah! Hope you enjoy. And yes, rough recording…. not gonna lie, I’m kinda excited about this one. Here’s a verse/chorus clip…###

Hello everyone!
So here’s a song I wrote last month called “See The Stars.” I originally wanted one harmony but when I found out that both Matt and Ernie would be able to meet up on one fine Wednesday (2.22.12), I was not only thrilled to spend time with them but also decided to make this song a TRIO and record a video! I’ve collaborated with these guys on separate occasions before and it felt great to be in one room with the both of them! I called it my “talent overdose” session. :)
Hope you enjoy the song and I’m absolutely blessed to have your love and support. Special thanks to Jordan Laessig for recording/editing this! LINKS and LYRICS BELOW!

See The Stars
(polinar)
Love, don’t fight it
Give in to love
And love, don’t deny it
together the walls will come crashing down
to the ground
and finally see the stars
there’ll be moments
the blanket of night
will hide us in silence
but together we’ll spark
the light in our eyes
and take flight
and finally see the stars
and the longings of our hearts
will subside and rescue us from harm
when we’re almost drowning in the deep
and say that we’re done
Love, don’t fight it
Give in to love
And love, don’t deny it
together the walls will come crashing down
to the ground
and finally see the stars
there’ll be moments
the blanket of night
will hide us in silence
but together we’ll spark
the light in our eyes
and take flight
and finally see the stars
together the walls will come crashing down
to the ground
and finally see the stars

Here’s Melissa Polinar’s new original posted on her YouTube page. Check it out!
Here’s my original “Off-Guard” - I posted a snippet on here weeks ago…and now its on YouTube. :) Share, like, favorite. I love y’all.
Lyrics:
“Off-Guard”
(polinar)
everybody says you’re amazing
tell me what I don’t know and
what I love about you is you’re real
everyday I think that I’m dreaming
where did all the rain go
and its taking me awhile to see what’s real
i had my head down
but when you came around
I knew there was life ahead
beyond what’s in front of me
chorus:
hey now
thought i had it all figured out
but honey, you caught me off guard
and I had all these walls
ready to push you out
but honey, you caught me
caught me off guard
I never needed a rescue
not a dame in distress
‘cause all I want is a love I can see-through
sweet-nothings are nothing
when there’s absolutely nothing
for me to hold on to
i had my head down
but when you came around
I knew there was life ahead
beyond what’s in front of me
bridge:
i’m tired of pretending
I’m slowly comprehending
I want to…I want to be with you

Melissa posted a new song, which she just wrote and roughly recorded yesterday. It was posted on her blog. Follow her Tumblr page and check it out!
I think it’s been in my system to finish a song like this for a while now. I finished it in a smaller period of time compared to the usual. I wanted it to be simple but tells a story. And sure it’s only about 2+ minutes long but I’m already hearing it with an instrumental in the middle. Endless possibilities.

This was Melissa Polinar’s rendition of Tony Lucca’s original “Death of Me.” Posted in 2008, Tony discovered this video and commented. It was the start of their friendship and music collaborations shortly thereafter. Support Melissa’s friend Tony on this season’s The Voice competition on NBC.
