Voyager through time and space
You’re always in your place
With so far to roam
Yet, you’re always at home

Voyager
So far to roam
You’re always at home

Voyager through time and space

Voyager
You’re in your place
Can you bring your race
Back home
Voyager
You’re in Her place
Can you bring your race
Back home

Voyager through time and space

Bring it on home

bookmark_borderWill

What will we will?
Will we will nothing?
Ahh… but, to will nothing
Is to will something still

Sing!
Say you will
Say you will
Then, will it

To your credit
Will it
Needn’t say it
Feel a bit
Then,
Will it

Be it to will
Will it to be
Purely for thrill
Will ecstasy

It will be
Believe
We create
Reality
Negate *Me*
Will it to be
*Me* leave

Universally
Will it to be
Dramatically
No tragedy
Life is ecstasy

I really had been puzzled as to why this was being called a poor translation, as it seemed clear enough to me, but looking at the objections again, I think the assessment of it as an error derives from being over-constrained with the use of the English word “will” β€” using it only in the sense of “I will do it” β€” rather in the sense which here applies, which indicates the presence of “will” in relation to desires and determination as in the statement “I will it to be so.” ~ Kalki 17:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC) [In a reply about: “Große Drache” bit from Also Sprach Zarathustra. “ich will” means “I want”, not “I will”]

“WiLL iT TO BE, so, iT WiLL BE, and, SO iT iS ” (13) ~ Susan Lynne Schwenger

I will it to be so – English
Ich will es so – German
Voy a ser tan – Spanish
Je vais qu’il en soit ainsi – French
?????? – Chinese
? ????, ??? ??? ??? – Russian

A / C / D

Both near and far
All the others
Always wanted to play
Allison’s guitar

Everyday
In every way
That’s all you would hear them say
“If I could only play…
Everything would be OK”

Ever since the very first day
All I wanted to do is play, play, play
Play with Allison’s guitar

All I do is hope and pray
Each and every… every day
Just want to play
With her guitar

Ever since the very first day
All they could say
Is how they want to play
With Allison’s guitar

I want to play with
Allison’s guitar
No matter how bizarre
Want to play with
Allison’s guitar

bookmark_borderBorn With It

Intro:
She asked, “How did you learn to shift energy? Did you read up on it?”

Music
It’s kind-of a rhythm mix between Venus and Won’t Get Fooled Again.

Born With It

Em . . . . . . Am
That’s how it is
Em . . . . . . Am
When you’re born with it
That’s how it is
When you’re born with it

C . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Em
I fall to me knees and pray
C . . . . . . . . . . . Em
Thankful for every day
A hall to the free. Not prey
Thankful for everyday

Not sure that shift
Is the right word
More like the sun
Than the moon

I guess we’ll find out
And, way too soon….
And, way to soon….

More like the sun
Then the moon
A fusion
Not illusion
A space time
Rhyme

A fusion
Not illusion
No shadow
Will follow

bookmark_borderJimi Hendrix Tribute Music Festival in Atlantic City

E7#9
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don’t seem the same
Actin’ funny, but I don’t know why
. . G . . . . . . . . . . . . . A
‘Scuse me while I kiss the sky

A . . G . . . . E . . . . . . . .A . . . . G . . . . E
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view

While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

I started dreamin’ about playing the Boneyard fest … and it went sumpin’ like this:

Unplugged
. Purple Haze

Add Hammond B3
. All Along The Watch Tower

Start to medley-ize borh
Add / switch over to electric guitars

Plugged
. All Along The Watch Tower

Add more electro-JIMI-techno

. Purple Haze

Full out medley-ize botrh

NOTES:
ideally, we’d add musicians and build as we cycle
Everyone on-board by the end

the kinda tricky part I just started playin’ with… going back n’ forth in the medly-izer

this isn’t quite right… first try, but… perhaps the spirit of it:

Jessi’s Song: Audio and Video Recordings / Free Downloads

E major
She walked down the steps
Then, stood next to me
A beautiful sight
She was simply lovely

A major
When she snuggled in close
It was beyond fantasy

G major
The Scent of he hair

A
The gape of her neck

E
I’m aware
(I’m aware, I’m aware, I’m very aware.)

G
The sweetest of lips
A
Her figure. Her hips.
E
All right there
Alright there
On a tear

2.
She sat on a a stool
Pulled in tighter to me
It was obvious
Obvious to see
It was meant…
It was meant to be
And, the stares
The stares at her
But,

3.
Sat upon my lap
On the back of a pick up truck
What the…
And, she could jam
Man could she jam

B / C
Physical and emotional.

A song about my broken leg and the girl I met the night before… learning to walk again after a broken leg… learning to love again after a broken heart… kind or the same thing? Bringing on the joy, the pain fades away… I’m learning to walk again.

All the clamour
Endless debate
Doesn’t matter
How irrate

Em / Am
‘casuse it’s too late now?
(‘casuse it’s too late now?)

Dm
The less you stammer
The less you state
The more I’d rather
Reiterate

It’s too late now

But, somehow
The stars shine brighter
Laughter
Does away with shadow

Em / Am
It’s alright now!

Sure…
You made it through the rapture
Relieve…
No stress
Reprieve

Undress

This song was inspired by:
Edie Weinstein — Noticed something as I am back from the gym & grocery shopping. People seem friendlier, as if relieved that they believe they have been given a reprieve…, lyrics for a great rap song.. Anyone wanna take it and run with it? Michael Franti, Dyana Jean, Daniel Brouse, Robin Renee, Annabella Wood, Cassendre Xavier, this could be YOU! ?

3 people like this.

Dyana Jean — How about a group rap? πŸ™‚

Robin Renee likes this.

Cynthia Greb — I don’t think it has anything to do with the “rapture” but the SUN!!!!

Edie Weinstein — Not sure, Cindy…I have been out and about on sunny days and haven’t found the energy like I experienced today. Something shifted for folks ? Dyana, you may really want to connect with these fellow musicians. I will send you that list

Dyana Jean — ok thank you love!!!

Edie Weinstein Welll…connect with each other here if you are so inspired ?

Daniel Brouse — yeah!

Dyana Jean — Right on! Just waking up now to find a new connection. Thank you Edie n Daniel. πŸ™‚

One day
A crook
Mistook
Mine for his own
Opportunities
Blown

Chorus:
Why would ya wanna steal from a guy like me?
Can’t you see… do you think I’m blind?
Look what ya took
A gifted tool
To distribute bliss
Now, amiss
Sold down ‘river
Unable to deliver

1.
Once had a tambourine
I could make sing
I could make ring
Feet racing for dancing
The joy it’d bring
Now, something… happened
It’s gone… know what I mean?

Chorus

2.
Once had a guitar
A special 6-string
I could make sing
Hands and feet thumping
The joy it’d bring
Now, something… happened
It’s gone… too far.

Chorus

What justification
For eradication
Of chaos theory
Illumination
When you destroy
Such a toy?
… the smile of a little boy
… homeless, helpless
… to have brightened their day
In some way
Astray
A curse… you placed to follow you
Until leading true

bookmark_borderWho Are You?

I am practically nothing
A mere speck
In the universe
So, what the heck
Might as well
Lift a voice
And, start singing
Chorus and verse
About your hell
Rejoice!!!

Please refrain
From the causing
Of pain
When you rain
On friends
May love
Reign over you

Oh, rain is slowed
By friction
The contradiction
Reign is not slowed
By friction
32 feet per second
Per second
No, “Wait a second!”
Love reign
Pouring through
Your roof
Love reign
Pointing out
You’re aloof
Penetrating
Flesh and bone
The truth
Never leaving you
Alone

Though,
I’m glad you asked
“Who the fuck are you?”
Nobody… just do
What I can do
Now,
Asking the question, too —
Q: Who the fuck are you?
A: Liar
Hypocrite
Dire
Underachievement

… meant
To show a speck
A little respect

by Daniel Brouse

What is it I see?
Sparkle
Twinkle
Sincerity

You let
Me in sight
… camera on my moves
Dreamt it’d always be
Someone like you
A passionate soul
Wanting to view
Eternity

You’re the kind
One loves

What is it I see?
Smiles
Eyes
Shear beauty

Will you always be
As adorable
As the night
We met?

Lord, please let
Me never to forget

Don’t let me be…
Escort me?
“Hugs, kisses… I love you.”
I love you, too.
