The Mirage Of Camouflage

Posted on September 24, 2014 by admin

Song Writing and Recording Along the Brandywine

LYRICS
While under the attack of a hawk
I heard a bluejay say, “Squawk!”
As I looked around…
I found… something fishy… wishy-washy

The mirage of camouflage

All the while your style
Appearing perched on the edge of the ledge
Like you might jump at any moment
But, wait a minute!
You mean…
All the while before a blue-screen
I mean
All the while before a green-screen?

The mirage of camouflage

Gonna call your bluff
On crying “wolf”
Gonna chill your marrow
When you discover you’re really in peril
You’ve become sterile
So much for tomorrow

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Em
G Am Em

Written and recorded live along the Brandywine Creek between Lenape and Chadds Ford, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA. It was inspired by the wildlife and the imminent danger that humans present (in particular due to global warming.) There was a sucker fish lying on the bottom with camouflage that made it look like shadows.

Just Desserts

Posted on September 24, 2014September 24, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
If you just have dessert
How can you have “just dessert”
Becoming a spoiled thing

Chorus
When you hide behind a veil
Don’t you think it’ll pale
In comparison
When you scream to no avail
You’ve come to the end of the rail (trail)
Feel compression

If you fail to inhale
How to compare a breath of fresh air
Becoming a soiled thing

Chorus

It’s hard to find the truth
Born silver spoon in mouth
Delivered a thing… spoiled

Chorus

Xenophobe

Posted on September 11, 2014September 11, 2014 by admin

Song Writing and Recording Along the Brandywine, Lenape, PA

LYRICS
Do you ever start thinking a little too much
Imagine a creature behind the hutch
Are you ever overtaken by your head
Imagine a “bad guy” is under your bed

Fear of the unknown
Is your cover blown

Do you ever over-think the situation
Letting rational go on vacation
Do your emotions get the best of you
So you feel there is nothing you can do

Come to realize
Your paralyzed

Quit!
Snap out of it!
Focus
On all of us

Think, Thank, Thanked

Posted on September 11, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Einstein and Wisenheimer brain storm
The prophets and poets did forewarn
Like a garment that is too well worn
There’s a (w)hole there, and it’s starting to tear

From the lesson what did we learn
The penny we save is the penny we earn?
Like a joke that’s too well worn
There’s a (w)hole there, and it’s starting to wear

Think turns to thank and then to thunk
Instead I’m thinking it should be thanked
Instead of a spirit that smells of skunk
Instead of getting karma spanked
Maybe we should make sure that She’s thanked

“Thank you Mother Earth.
Thank you for this spiritual birth.
Thank you Mother Nature for you natural nurture.”

LYRICS
Purveyors of love
Purveyors of love
When you get right down to it
A) human conduit
Be) a conduit
See) a conduit

It’s as easy as A, Be, See

When I is you
We let it pass through
With the least resistance, too
You want to keep a few?
Let it pass through
Might as well let
The more you give
Be the more you get

LYRICS
Gonna love you in the morning
Gonna love you all the night
Gonna love you in the evening
Gonna love with all my might
’cause lovin’ is alive

Gonna love all afternoon
Into the twilight
Under the full moon
Into the broad daylight
’cause lovin’ is alive

Love the one you are with
Love the ones near and far
Love with depth and breadth
Love love ’till no more war
’cause lovin’ is alive
At the wheel now drive
’cause lovin’ is alive

Unseal Appeal

Song Writing and Recording on the Banks of the Brandywine Creek

LYRICS
The shapes in the sky
Take on my mind’s eye
A four dimension
… surreal ideal

Ripples on the surface
Like lines on a face
Time — the illusion
As old as you feel

Fate unseal
Life’s appeal

From Cron we steal
The moments we feel
Awake all living
Human’s start giving

Repealin’ the Reaper
Diggin’ in deeper
Pushin’ the head through
For the Earthly view

From unborn… being born
… onto life’s sojourn

The Eye of the Eddy

LYRICS
Near the eye of the eddy
Where upstream is down
Gettin’ a little heady
In a spiritual realm

Near the eye of the eddy
Jewel of the Queen’s crown
Way more than ready
With Her at the helm

Spinning round n’ round
Twirling round n’ round
Spiraling round n’ round

Indigenous Songwriting at the Lenape Indian Village

LYRICS
I guess we’ve gotta go
Against the river’s flow
The settlers have settled on a settlement

Chorus
By settlement I mean they’re mean
From the genocide we must hide
Hide in Her spirit’s hide

Chorus

They’ll cut us down you know
Bullet versus bow
What are they thinkin’ over the color of skin?

Chorus

Since we wouldn’t behave
As their slave
Over our land… their rag… their flag

LYRICS
Hear the whistle blowin’
Feel the train comin’ down the line

The earth does shake
The earth does quake
There’s much at stake
… a locomotive mistake

Who would save the day
If the train’s a runaway
Would you stop and pray
If the train’s a runaway

LYRICS
If you listen real easy
Then maybe
It won’t be so hard
For the chord to be heard

On the wind rides a whisper
The music kissed Her
Before you’re aware
She was already there

On the tide rides a soundwave
The music does save
Before you’re aware
She was already there

LYRICS
What goes around
Comes around
What goes around
Home is found

Better be careful who I push around
Gonna find out about dishing it out
Time will pass till Karma kicks my ass

Chorus

Better be mindful of where I’m bound
Takin’ in a lesson about taking it
Hold still! This might hurt a bit

Chorus

Better be thankful it wasn’t worse
Coulda ended up in the back of a hearse
Or the glue factory with the ‘ole horses

I’m…
Working on a chain gang
Just paying off time
I’m…
Working on a chain gang
Paying my dues

“Pray you get a clue… we do… we….”

If I only knew
Fly, flown, flew
To go with the flow
May I someday know

“Pray your days aren’t few… we do… we….”

If only I new
Not bein’ blue
May I someday know
Going with the flow

I’m… I’m… I’m… paying off time

A History Lesson

Posted on July 23, 2014 by admin

Songwriting on the Brandywine Creek in Lenape, PA

LYRICS
Hmmm… yum, yum, yum

Saw a reflection of a wizard
Looking up at me
Wondering how long
Our history would be

Just for fun
He thought he’d question me
“Can you tell how long
Our history will be?”

I looked into the sky
… with a sigh
“Can you tell me, Creator,
How long we will be?”

She said,
“Son, you see there’s something troubling me…
Creation termination is how it’s gonna be?”

I said,
“You’re right. Thanks for showing me the light.”

Yum, yum, yum we love eatin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love slurpin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love suckin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love throwin’ up dumb
