My Name is Mel. I am a Melanchoholic Dreamer.

Welcome to my blog...to me..

Welcome to a look inside my head daily...or as close to daily as I can make myself write. This is my first post here on "melanchoholic dreamer."

I am an artist; all around. I write, dream, paint, act, model, write/play/sing/record, and by day I'm a hair stylist.

To stay "human" we have to keep dreaming, but I think my dreams are mixed with melancholy...if that makes sense to anyone.

There are the dreams we reach for; our aspirations and goals, and then those that chase us in the dark corners of our thoughts. Melancholy.

There is a song I wrote a while back that totally catches this in the bridge. Here's the song, but really check out the bridge. We all have "demons" of melancholy that haunt little corners of our thoughts.

DEMONS (Show Yourself To Me)

By Mel Bellefleur ©Bellefleur Music 2008

Verse 1:

Are you in the dark when I see demons?

Will you fight to keep my soul from fading?

Please illuminate my weakened eyes

I need more than blind reasoning

I am weak so hold me close again

I need to believe you are with me for good

Chorus:

Show yourself to me

Reveal love to me

Show yourself to me

Fight the dark with me

Shed some light on life

Show yourself to me

Verse 2:

Are you with me when all good wanes

Will you hold my hand when light turns dark?

Will I see your face in places grave

Can I learn to fall into your arms?

When demons scream vile threats in my face

Will I reach for you; will you be there?

Bridge:

This is the lullaby of sleepless minds

Just in between nightmares and reality

Magnanimous threats grow in this place

And like drugs control the open mind
