[Intro]
[Bright Guitar Riff / Snare Rolls / Handclaps]

Hey!
(How ya doin’?)
What’s new?
(What are ya doin’?)

Say what’s on your mind
(And I’ll tell you mine)
No need to wonder
(We’re doin’ fine!)

Wow…
(Now!)
We’re…
(Talkin’!)

[Verse 1]
You said a little
(I heard a lot)
Opened up the window
(And I took the shot)

Words are our music
(When they come from the heart)
A little interaction
(Can be a brand-new start)

Don’t just talk around it
(Don’t beat around the bush)
Say what you mean
(And don’t be afraid to blush)

If you’re gonna tell me
(Then tell me true)
I’ll walk a mile
(Just to walk with you)

[Refrain]
Now yer talkin’
(Talkin’ the talk)
(Walkin’ the walk)

Music to my ears
(Is what I hear)
Pleasant surprise:
(Here I lose fear)

Now we’re talkin’
(Givin’ and lovin’)
Wanna take a walk?
(Talkin’ the talk)
(Walkin’ the walk)

[Verse 2]
Talk is cheap
(So they say)
But words can pave
(A brand-new way)

Talk about the weather
(Talk about the rain)
Talk about tomorrow
(Talk about the pain)

Talk about the things
(We’d rather not discuss)
See what relief it brings
(And leave behind the fuss)

A sidewalk conversation
(A footstep at a time)
Can turn a little rhythm
(Into a reason and a rhyme)

[Refrain]
Now yer talkin’
(Talkin’ the talk)
(Walkin’ the walk)

Music to my ears
(Is what I hear)
Pleasant surprise:
(Here I lose fear)

Now we’re talkin’
(Givin’ and lovin’)
Wanna take a walk?
(Talkin’ the talk)
(Walkin’ the walk)

[Bridge]
[Half-Time Groove / Organ Swell]

Talk!
(Above the squawk!)

Walk!
(Into the setting sun)

Give!
(… and then some.)

Love!

Thrive!

[Surf Guitar / Piano / Handclaps / Tambourine]

Talkin’…

Talk the talk!

Talk the talk!

[Final Refrain]
Now yer talkin’
(Talkin’ the talk)
(Walkin’ the walk)

Music to my ears
(Is what I hear)
Pleasant surprise:
(Here I lose fear)

[Outro]
Now we’re talkin’
(Givin’ and lovin’)
Wanna take a walk?
(Talkin’ the talk)
(Walkin’ the walk)

Now yer talkin’!
(Now yer walkin’!)

Talkin’ the talk!
(Walkin’ the walk!)

[Big Guitar Riff / Group Vocals]

Now yer talkin’!
(Yeah, now yer talkin’!)

Now yer walkin’!
(Yeah, now yer walkin’!)

Words in motion
(The notion… will start the heart)

Talkin’ the talk…
(Walkin’ the walk…)

Now yer talkin’!

[Intro]
[Electrical Hum, Synth Pulse, Guitar Feedback, Click of a Switch]

Current…
Running through the wire…
(Ampin’ higher)

[Verse 1]
Hear that buzzing
Running hot
Too much pressure
In the box

Little spark
A little flare
Feel the voltage
In the air

When the load
Begins to rise
Someone better
Cut the ties

[Pre-Chorus]
[Drums Building, Distorted Guitar]
Flip the switch
Break the chain
Stop the current
Start again

[Refrain]
Giver or taker?
(Throwin’ the circuit breaker)
Your current in the present
(Is clearly trippin’ me)

[Verse 2]
Giver or taker
Which one are you?
Passing current
Through and through

Giver or taker?

So when the current
Starts to race
And overload
Is in your face

Don’t keep pushing
Just because
Pull the breaker
That’s enough!

[Refrain]
Giver or taker?
(Throwin’ the circuit breaker)
Your current in the present
(Is clearly trippin’ me)

Giver or taker?
(Who’s the undertaker?)
Your current in the present

Trip…

Flip…

The breaker trips
Because the current flips…

Ensure the future

[Style: Psychedelic Pop-Rock / Quirky Indie Folk-Rock]

[Intro]
Practical…
(… or Radical?)

Musical…
(Magical?)

Whimsical!

[Verse 1]
They measured the moon
With a measuring stick
Calculated the stars
And called it a trick

They numbered the clouds
They counted the rain
They put all the sunshine
In a spreadsheet again

They told me the world
Should be sensible
Predictable…
Defensible…

I asked them a question
They said, “That’s absurd!”

So I answered their answer
With a completely new word:

Whimsical!

[Pre-Chorus]
[Drums Build, Guitar Chimes]

When reason gets rigid
And logic gets stale
When everybody’s certain
They’ve figured the tale

Leave room for the strange
Leave room for surprise
There’s more to the world
Than what fits in your eyes

[Refrain]
When they get too practical
(Get whimsical)
… it’s magical
If it gets too radical
(Get musical)
… be whimsical

[Verse 2]
A practical person
Will tighten the screw
A radical person
Will tighten it too

One says, “Be careful!”
The other says, “Go!”
One wants a blueprint
The other says, “Whoa!”

But somewhere between them
A strange little tune
Starts dancing around
With the stars and the moon

A little absurd
A little sublime
A little bit out of
The practical line

[Pre-Chorus]
[Tambourine, Rising Bass]

Don’t throw out the reason
Don’t throw out the rules
Just don’t let the rules
Make you into fools

A little imagination
Can loosen the chain
And sometimes a laugh
Can eliminate pain

[Refrain]
When they get too practical
(Get whimsical)
… it’s magical
If it gets too radical
(Get musical)
… be whimsical

[Verse 3]
They told me, “Reality
Must be defined!”

I said, “Sure…
But leave something behind.”

A corner for wonder
A pocket for play
A place where tomorrow
Can rewrite today

The sensible thinker
Says, “Prove that it’s true.”

The dreamer says,
“Maybe there’s something new.”

The scientist smiles
And adjusts the design:

“Let’s test the impossible…
One more time.”

[Bridge]
[Half-Time Drums, Psychedelic Guitar]

Too practical?
(Get whimsical!)

Too radical?
(Get musical!)

Too cynical?
(Get lyrical!)

Too critical?
(Get magical!)

[Spoken]
Don’t lose your mind…

Just leave static behind.

[Instrumental]
[Surf Guitar Solo / Organ / Handclaps]
[Call-and-Response Guitar Riff]

[Verse 4]
A butterfly flaps
And the weather responds
A tiny idea
Can travel beyond

A small little question
Can open a door
And suddenly nothing
Is quite like before

So dance with the data
And sing with the facts
Let curiosity
Lead you off track

[Pre-Chorus]
[Full Band Rising]

When everything’s serious
Lighten the load
When everyone’s marching
Step off the road

When they say,
“This is the only way…”
Ask:
“Do you know how to play?”

[Breakdown]
[Music Drops to Bass, Claps and Organ]

Practical!
(Too radical!)

It’s a festival…
(Get musical!)

Whimsical!

[Band Explodes]

MAGICAL!

[Final Refrain]
When they get too practical
(Get whimsical)
… it’s magical
If it gets too radical
(Get musical)
… be whimsical

[Outro]
When they get too cynical
(Get whimsical)
Make it lyrical
If it gets too difficult
(Get musical)
… be whimsical

When they get too predictable
(Get whimsical)
Make it mythical
When the world gets ridiculous
(Get musical)
… be whimsical!

Loose ends dangling
All around
Pieces scattered
On the ground

Little tears
Along the seam
Is it ever
What it seems

[Refrain]
Are you itching
(To tighten the stitching)
Pulling us together
(To weather the weather)

Tighten the laces
(In all the right places)
Pulling us together

A little tension
Keeps it tight
Too much tension
Starts a fight

If the fabric
Starts to tear
Reach across
And show you care

There’s still a little light

Why bother hoping

A word that shows a way

About the Song
Humanity’s Greatest Threat Is Humanity
Energy Imbalance → Climate Change
The Solution = Balance

Human beings are part of nature.

We cannot separate ourselves from the natural systems that sustain us.

Balance with nature requires understanding that human communities are participants in ecosystems—not observers standing outside them.

The goal is not to eliminate human interaction with nature.

It is to make that interaction sustainable.

We must restore the balance.

We are nature.

Phenology: The Study of Biological Lifecycle Events

Disruption in Pennsylvania’s Sylvania
Pennsylvania’s forests are being disrupted by accelerating seasonal expansion—the lengthening of warm-season conditions into spring and autumn. The change is doing more than making individual days warmer. It is altering the timing of tree life cycles, increasing ecological vulnerabilities, and shifting which species can successfully survive and reproduce.

As summer-like conditions expand into early spring and late autumn, biological events known as phenology are increasingly occurring outside the historical weather conditions to which Pennsylvania’s forests evolved.

The result is a cascade of ecological disruptions.
