    This is my 2nd original song Inspired by "Crooked Kingdom" by Leigh Bardugo. 📚 Thank you so much for watching & for the awesome support!! ❤ Lyrics:
    Verse 1:
    Skin to skin, wearing thin
    Can't catch my breath in the waves
    Drowning slow, nowhere to go
    Lost in the mess that you made
    All the fear can't be near when all
    I can think of's the past
    Out of air, no one cared
    I knew I wouldn't last
    Chorus:
    But you brought me down
    Brick by brick
    You and your crown you make me sick
    You took away the good in my life, Killing me slow from the inside
    Revenge, can't avenge
    Now I'm crawling in the dirt
    Brick by brick
    Brick by Brick x2
    Verse 2:
    Monsters and beasts never sleep,
    dreaming of the cold
    Haunted by you,
    all these cruel memories I've never told
    Bridge:
    Hunger and a dark soul, those
    shark eyes
    Vulnerability eats away inside
    People believe what the want to hear, they want to be rich
    But there are those deep wounds that can't be stitched
    Brick by brick
    Brick by brick
    Brick by brick
    Brick by brick

    Kendra, you have one of the most original and creative minds in music. For a 15 year old very beautiful young woman to come up with such a dark song and yet make it sound beautiful is a skill and talent that no more than 5 others possess and none are any better. I have just read the lyrics and it is pure poetry of the highest form.

    Kendra Dantes... What can I say? Nothing you do gets more powerful or pleasurable than delivering an original! This rendition took me to another place, brick by brick, and judging from the comments you get each week, the love and passion we have for your music, particularly your originals, is shared many. Songwriting is hard but you make it seem effortless, and the way you weave your vocals, is a unique talent that lets any song you sing, take flight. Brick by Brick is no exception!

    I have no words. All I can say is WOW. Every original you create is better than the previous one. I can think of only one comparison for you, and you know who that is. I hope your father is coming around to the idea of having you compete on America's Got Talent or a similar show. I think you would be a shoo-in to win. But even if you didn't the exposure would be great for you. In any case, I want you to know just how good this was. There are no words I have not used many times before, but this was simply stunning. I am always in awe of your talent. Your parents must be so proud of you. And I agree completely with Peter Grigg. If I had 1% of your talent, I would have won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, become world famous, etc etc. You are incredible, and I am so glad that I get to hear your wonderful music. Thank you!!

What could we say to add to what we have been expressing of your music... I don't know about that, but let me tell you, the world is missing out on you and your music.
    I really hope I could clean broken hearts with water from a magic fountain. I am sure though that that old used bricks can build the most wonderful heavenly places.

    HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!! A BRILLIANT MASTERPIECE!!! Kendra, Many times I have seen a comment stating that you have "taken it to a new level". To me this would infer that you had been at a lower level and had suddenly made a dramatic rise to a new one! However, I view your musical progress differently! I see it as a steady "step by step" progression with a rise from one level to the next over the course of several months and not overnight! With that being said, after listening to this latest original, I would say that you have risen to an ALL-TIME HIGH musically!!
    I have been SO eagerly looking forward to you posting this song since I first saw the clip from the Sac Songwriter Circle performance...I just knew it was going to be something special!! You obviously put a lot of hard work into this and made it well worth the wait!! I love how the tone began softly and then continuously ramped up 'til the end!! The lyrics are PURE GENIUS and the music is just PHENOMENAL!! You usually sing with GREAT feeling but this time your emotion was BEYOND INCREDIBLE!! To conclude, I would say this is the BEST I HAVE SEEN FROM YOU YET!!
    BTW I am really excited about the live stream later today!! See you there!!
    Kendra, I can't tell you how much of an honor and pleasure it has been to watch you continue to build your TREMENDOUSLY SOLID musical foundation "step by step" and "BRICK BY BRICK"!!! :D

I'm not sure if Jamin already has a song in mind or if we might get to try one of my new originals? Or we might need song suggestions....I think we are basically winging it, so we'll just have a great time no matter what song we do!
      The jam session live-stream will be after the Learn Piano Live broadcasts. Glad you will be there for the live-stream! Hoping my live-stream to my channel is working tonight! 🤞🤞🤞

      I actually did today (sort of), I found an old song I recorded back in early 2013 that was really a mashup of old song ideas I had at the time that I never got around to making a reality so I combined them into one song. I set it to a video of sand flowing through an hourglass that I filmed the other day.

    VERSE 1:
    Skin to skin, wearing thin, can’t catch my breath in the waves
    Drowning slow, nowhere to go, lost in the mess that you made
    All the fear, can’t be near when all I can think of’s the past
    Out of air, no one cared, I knew I wouldn’t last
    CHORUS:
    But you brought me down brick by brick
    You and your crown, you make me sick
    You took away the good in my life, killing me slow from the inside
    Revenge, can’t avenge, now I’m crawling in the dirt

    Monsters, and beasts, never sleep, dreaming of the cold
    Haunted by you, all these cruel memories, I’ve never told

    This may sound silly but I was just thinking how amazing it would be if you, Allie Sherlock, Grace Vanderwaal and Millie Bobbie Brown formed an all girl group. That would be an amazing array of talent and I'd certainly pay a lot to see it. Incidentally, I just came across a song called Song of Bernadette by Leonard Cohen and Jennifer Warren.(who sings it) Perfect for your voice and an amazing song, perhaps as good as Hallelujah. Oh, and also, excellent song. I've written a hundred and none of them are as good.
