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

Love Alive

Posted on August 27, 2014August 28, 2014 by admin

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

The Eye of the Eddy

Posted on August 21, 2014 by admin

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

Indigenousness

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

Chorus

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

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

Light It Up

Posted on July 22, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Go light it
Go ahead ignite it
The fuse will burn
The ignition light
Turn, turn, turn
’till we learn to unite

Woke up this morning
Soon as I heard the news
Without a warning
The Mississippi blues

Chorus

Keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel
Shot your load
Do you know the real deal?

Chorus

Instead of singing the blues
… light the fuse!

Wake Awake

Songwriting on the Banks of the Brandywine Creek

LYRICS
Wake!
There’s a wake from a quake
A tsunami headin’ right for me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Wake!
There’s a flood of information comin’ right at me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Wake!
For goodness sake… it’s a fake
A wave of dishonesty comin’ right for me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Song Writing and Recording on the Brandywine River

LYRICS
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
Livin’ so peacefully
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
A merry old soul was he
Smokin’ his pipe and listening to his fiddlers three

Chorus
A merry old soul
A merry old soul
A merry old soul was he

Andrew Wyeth’s Brandywine bank
Makes for perfect scenery
Andrew Wyeth on Brandywine’s bank
Livin’ so peacefully
With his paints and artistry
… he’d capture history

Chorus

The indigenous Lenape
Living in Lenape
The indigenous Lenape
Livin’ so peacefully
Smokin’ peace pipes in a teepee
Dancin’ to drummers
Dancin’ to drummers
Dancin’ to drummers merrily
