Most Peculiar

Posted on February 3, 2013February 3, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
The wind
Whips and winds through the branches
To be on its way

The light of day
Moving like a wave
Moving like a particle
Some would say
It’s like a miracle

The water
Floats down stream
Leaving the rocks in between
And, the current
Can’t quite be seen
But, it’s moving through too
As it’s passing through the stones
Of the riverbed
If you listened real closely
You would’ve heard it said

It’s most peculiar
The mysteries of nature
For sure
Leave me in wonder

Lu ugh ugh key

You call this lucky?
I call it skill
Hang around and you’ll see
It ain’t that long until
Trouble finds me

You call this wacky

Hang around and you’ll see
I’ll play guitar until
Blood’s dripping from me

Hang around and you’ll see

Trouble finds me

LYRICS
I don’t want to write
About my lost girl
I don’t want to write
About my fast car

I’d rather write how life’s an oyster
And, you’re the pearl
I’d rather write how life’s a cloister
Menagerie bizarre

So, hold on tight
We’ll write, write, write
Right on! Through the night

Devilish Whirling Dervish

Devilish Whirling Dervish.mp3

LYRICS

Whirling. Twirling. Spinning ever faster
Whipping yourself into a euphoric state
Going round and round and round
Hoping religion will be found

Hiding. Hunting. Hoping for an Easter
Praying resurrection is your fate

Devilish Whirling Dervish
Religious ecstasy
Devilish Whirling Dervish
Touching divinity

Make the whirling yours
Make the whirling mine
Create the whirling epiphany
Make the whirling divine

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Am C
Am G D Am

Written and recorded on January 15, 2013 in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania as a digital, 6-track stereo, extemporaneous recording.

The Mawlaw’īyya / Mevlevi Order, or the Mevlevilik / Mevleviye (Persian: مولويه‎ – Molavīyeh) is a Sufi order founded in Konya (present-day Turkey) by the followers of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi-Rumi, a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic jurist, and theologian. They are also known as the Whirling Dervishes due to their famous practice of whirling as a form of dhikr (remembrance of God).

The Mawlawi believe in performing their dhikr in the form of a “dance” and musical ceremony known as the Sama, which involves the whirling, from which the order acquired its nickname. The Sema represents a mystical journey of man’s spiritual ascent through mind and love to the “Perfect”. Turning towards the truth, the follower grows through love, deserts his ego, finds the truth, and arrives at the “Perfect”. He then returns from this spiritual journey as a man who has reached maturity and a greater perfection, able to love and to be of service to the whole of creation.

Rest In Peace (Aqua Marine)

Posted on January 15, 2013January 15, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Rest In Peace

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Who me? I don’t want to ever grow up

I don’t want to be old

Why would you want to grow old
Why would you want to grow mold
Why would you want to do what you’re told
Why would you want to grow old

You can grow old
You can grow mold
You can rot
You can rust
But, I say “Not”

Rest In Peace (Aqua Marine).mp3

Double Date

Posted on January 15, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
The little hand
And, the big hand
Take command
(Of moving time forward)

CHORUS:
What do you do
When it’s either
“I have too many”
Or, “I have too few”

The sun dial…
Hourglass sand
Understand
(As we move toward)

Chorus

Have to develop my style
It appears to be worth the bother
No? No bother?
We’ve got time aplenty

Handle snakes
Speak in tongues
Climb the ladder
To the highest rung
Then, take that leap
Leap

Da, da, da, de, da
Jah jah jah jah
We’re speaking in tongues
Handling snakes
Whatever it takes
To get to know
To get to show

Kabbalah

The message is one
The message is won

Handle snakes
Speak in tongues
Do whatever comes
To get the message out
To get the message in
To get the message through to you

First, take in
Then, chew
The parts we can spew
And, hope to get the message through

Snake Handling Immortal Tongue Speakers
We are the seekers

Screaming In A Vacuum

Posted on January 14, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
I’m screaming in a vacuum
Can’t get any traction
If my words had some friction
Might get through the diction

How come?
I’m screaming in a vacuum

I’m screaming in a vacuum
“I love you!”
However, the message isn’t getting through
Is there nothing I can do
To get through
I love you?

Can you read my lips?
Wish I had stirrups
Are your ears growing turnips?

I’m screaming in a vacuum
Can’t get any traction
Words need friction

Pull Out! Get High!

Posted on January 14, 2013 by admin

Pull Out! Get High! .mp3

LYRICS
Though it’s usually not what you want to do
Take two steps back
To try to move ahead
Try to get some gain
Try to remain sane
In life’s game
Sometimes
It’s the perspective
That can be interjective
To your thought process
Pull back
For a different point-of-view
Shooting yourself into space
See the morning dew
From way, way, way beyond
Then come back in again
Get way up close
So you can feel the dew upon you
Then, retrace

Moving forward is good
Way better than sitting still
But, better, better still
Use your will
After all, it’s free you know
Your freewill
Use it as some sort-of pill
To get high
Get higher, higher, higher
So, you can see all there is
See all there is to see
From here to eternity
You can be part of it, too
If you really want to

1,2,3
4,5,6
Let’s pick up the sticks
7,8
Lay ’em straight
Then, roll the dice
Ahhh… do it twice

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded on January 13, 2013 in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania as a digital, 1-track stereo, extemporaneous recording. A song about moving in dimensions. Get close enough to feel it. Pull back to get the big picture.

Oh! Susanna (Part 2)

Posted on January 12, 2013January 14, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
It rained all night the day I left
The it was dry
And, we all go marching
Down into the ground
To get out of the rain

When January feels like June
Wake up! Wake up! And, none too soon
And we all go searching
Everywhere all around
To get our of the rain

Oh! Susanna
Won’t you cry for me
Oh! Susanna
All can surely see
Oh! Susanna
It’s a tragedy

Oh! Susanna Part 2.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Capo 1
C Am
G Am

Written and recorded on January 12, 2013 in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania as a digital, 4-track stereo, extemporaneous recording. After posting this status on Facebook, the song was written and recorded on the streets: “Hmmm… 60 degrees in January… perfect day to take music to the streets… maybe write a global warming song?”

It started while I was sleeping… I heard a news report about severe weather being the new normal. Then, I started hearing a mix of the Stephen Foster song Oh! Susanna and the children’s version of Johnny Comes Marching Home known as The Ants Go Marching (and a dash if You Are My Sunshine)… kind-of tossing traditional irony with a modern day twist.

Here There Anywhere.mp3

LYRICS
From here to there
And, anywhere in between
A gypsy of body… a lover of being

Spirit comes apart
Soul comes together
There’s a certain science or art
To being a gypsy body
And, a lover of being

From here to there
And, anywhere in between

Thank you your Grace
For allowing me to embrace
This form
This warm form

From here to there
And, everywhere in between

Even though I can’t see
I know you’re standing right next to me

Angel On The Windshield

Posted on December 26, 2012December 26, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
If an angel hit your bug screen
Would you know what it means?
If an angel hit your windshield
Would you feel?

Are you familiar with the real deal
How an angel would feel
Are you familiar with the real deal
An angel is for real

You can thank God for your angels
Just don’t be satanic
And, throw this opportunity away
Forgo this opportunity today

It’s unlikely to come back another day
Don’t let is escape away
You know what to do
If an angel hits your bug screen
You don’t want it to be because you’re mean
If an angel hits your windshield
It would be wise to feel
Wiser yet to deal

Light Years

Posted on December 23, 2012December 23, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
It feels as though we’re light years away

You’d think in this day
In this day and age
We’d be able to turn the page
To a new day
We’d be able to find a way

It feels as though we’re light years away

If indeed we are a civil civilization
We better have the realization
To have some humane in our humanity
If we’re civil in our civility
We might stand a chance
But, it feels as though we’re light years away

So we better think quick
And, build a spaceship
So there’s enough space
For all this bullshit
’cause we can find a way
In this day and age
We can turn the page
Find a better way
For a better day
We can move through light years today

Or, would that be yesterday or tomorrow?
Past, present and future
We can endure

Light Years Part 4.mp3
