Sure…
You made it through the rapture
Relieve…
No stress
Reprieve
You believe
Undress
Your God’s bod’
Duress
Free
Naturally

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! ?

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!!!

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

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.

bookmark_borderMiss Bliss

A song inspired by this conversation….

Daniel Brouse asked Edie Weinstein:
What do you think?

Edie Weinstein replied:
About what?

Daniel Brouse responded:
Ha! The world?

Edie Weinstein shines the light:
I think it is a place of divine delight in which we get to create our own vision and live it out. I think we are each responsible for healing it and illuminating the dark places. I love being here. OR were you looking for an answer a bit more mundane? ?

Daniel Brouse:
Perfect! Too bad more people don’t know… heaven is here.

LYRICS
Imagine this…
While having conversation
With Miss Bliss
Somehow we
Miss the bliss
… miss the realization
We’re soakin’ in
Happiness

Heaven on Earth
From our most
Recent birth
No lyin’
We’ve reached Zion
The Promised Land
In our hand
If we could…
But only
Understand

by Daniel Brouse

Humans
Create fate
Humans
Create dates

Human’s fate
Set their date

At any rate
There’s no debate
Our state…
Irate

We’ve gone mad
Off our rocker
All more than a tad
Beyond rational

Create hate?
Participate
Via voyeur
Then begin
The citizen
If we fall folly
To our
Un-natural nation

The gravity
Of no passivity
Leaves no pity

Create hate?
Participate
Via voyeur

Or, didn’t we know
Or, didn’t we NO

For us it is
A dismal prognosis

DOA RIP

Pray love gets the best of me.

Once I got to know her
I started to see

Hanging from a tree

Oh, yeah

Gone commando

E
E / D / A / E

If the whole goal
Is to be on top
Then, it all depends
On where the top is…
My bottom
Could be
Your lid

If the whole goal
Is to try to stop
Then, it all depends
On having a heart…

My goal
Could be
Your start
Sometimes
It’s hard
To tell apart

by Daniel Brouse on Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at 7:09pm

Em / E sus4 / Em7 / Em 7 (11)

The warmer it gets
The colder the wind blows
No one seems to know
No, no one knows

But, when they take a peek
They start to freak
’cause the lightning
Is frightening

Why, no one seems to care
That the weather out there
Is human induced
As we reduce
Ourselves
To little more
Than a glass snow globe

Turning upside down
Shakin’ it around

From the outside
Looking in…

From outside the glass
Do we wanna be
The universal ass
Reduced to an obscene
Earthling scene

Though the snow looks pretty
Do we need the alien pity
For our lack of responsibility?

When they take a peek
They start to freak
’cause the lightning
Is frightening
[Repeat / Fade]

NOTES:
January 26, 2011

” Did anyone see lightning and hear thunder within the last hour or so? Gaia is really showing her stuff” — Edie Weinstein

“I was looking out the window and saw lightening and heard the familiar thunder report…..First time I ever experienced that in the winter…..Truelly rare….end of the world ?” — Jeffro Richards

“This shit is no joke – unless I was just having a flashback – I saw lightning.” — David Hawkins

i’m watching trees bend into yoga shapes
and wooden ya know

bookmark_borderThe Break Up Song

by Daniel Brouse

Intro:
For those of you
With a broken heart
My heart
Goes out
To you

[crunch]

Even when it’s feeling
Like the pain
Will drive me insane
I’m not left reeling
In a downward spiral
Toward the abyss

You fix
What’s amiss

My knee is headed East
My foot West
Needless to say,
Not the best.
Of course,
It could be much worse
Without you
Inside my head.

Helping fix
What’s a mess
Making the pain
Less

My knee is headed East
My foot West
Obviously,
Not the best.
But…at least,
Not broken hearted.
In fact,
You’ve started,
To heal
From heel
To head

The feeling headed
In a reciprocal
Circle

bookmark_borderJust Is (Of Peace)

by Daniel Brouse
Inspired by Insanity Humanity (Ain’t That the Truth!)
and the Rev. LeRoy Montana

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
Thrown from their thrones

Flesh and bones?
Nothing weathers
That matters

Is it fine
In this time
When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live

Perhaps, not that far away
A day
When what is just
Just is

More than chance
That justice
Someday will sway
The balance

PART II

When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live

When what is just
Just is

Justice
Someday will sway
The balance

How will I weigh?

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
The one that weathers
Thrown from their thrones
The one that matters
Is not me

Without we
I just am
Without you
Too
Two alones

A family
Better we’d be
Better by far
We already are
Together we way
Together we weigh
Together we may
Without fail
The Scale
Just is
Justice
