The Living

Posted on May 7, 2013May 7, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
How bad do you want it?
How hard will you strive to thrive?
Are you even alive?
Is it your spirit you’re gonna deprive?

Spending every day as though it’s your last
Is the best way to pass to the past
Filling everybody with “know” and you’ll last
As long as there’s memories to grasp

An oral tradition of endless relation revelation

Pain

Posted on May 6, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Bamboo shoots under the fingernails
Splinters between the teeth and gums
Everything else in comparison pales
When the onset of pain comes

The pain of pain will drive you insane

Salt rubbed in an open wound
Paper cut on the retina of your eye
Everything else pales when pain is found
Hard to think about others if there’s pain in I

The pain of pain will drive you insane

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Guitar tuned to Db

Inspired by something caught between a tooth and gum, as well as, a paper cut on the eye.

Lady Of The Wood

Posted on May 6, 2013May 6, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Lady Of The Wood,
Bless! May all be good

The imps, fairies and that mean ole’ troll
Are getting out-of-control

Not to mention the hue man
The human hue man

(As the human’s hue fades to black.)

Lady Of The Wood.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Db
Db Bb Ab Gb Eb Db

There is an old myth about the Lady Of The Wood. One of the oldest religions in the United States was established by hermits in Roxborough, Philadelphia, PA. They believe God was similar to Mother Nature all called her Lady Of The Wood. When they felt it was their time to die, they would walk into the woods to be one with Her.

Much later, the concept was used as the character Galadriel in the Lord Of The Rings series.

Hue: Noun. 1) The attribute of a color by virtue of which it is discernible as red, green, etc., and which is dependent on its dominant wavelength. 2) A color or shade: “her face lost its golden hue”

True You

Posted on May 6, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Do you think we might
Make it through the night
All the way ’till broad daylight
Do you think we may
Do you think we might

The truth opens every door
Revealing so, so much more
The truth really paves the way
TO understand the New Day

Do you think we might
Make it through the day
All the way ’till the dark of night
Do you think we may
Do you think we might

Learning How To Swim

Posted on May 6, 2013May 6, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
If you’re afraid to choose ’cause you might lose
Go ahead and jump in
’cause you’re certain to lose if you don’t choose
Jump in and learn how to swim

It’s not that hard to figure out
You just relax and float about
Take a deep breath. Take a dive.
Take a glide to the sub side

The water said “you can tread on me”
Go ahead and jump in
The elementary backstroke is elementary. The free is free.
Jump in and learn how to swim

Chorus

This song is an analogy that uses the process of learning how to swim with your body to promote learning to swim with your soul. The video was shot through cacti as sort-of a mirror image of swimming in water.

Angelity

Posted on May 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
I would like to take this opportunity
To thank you for stopping
When most people are given the opportunity
They just keep on walking, walking, walking

Was it naivety?
Was it curiosity?
Was it stupidity?
Was it angelity?

Agile angel
With a saving grace
Agile angel
True love embrace

I can see the angel in your face
Given the opportunity of your stopping
Now and forever you’ve left a trace
Song of opportunity of your stopping

ABOUT THE SONG

This song was inspired by the angels I’ve been bumping into. Not only do angels flock to a grave situation, they also flock to scenes of heavenly grace. In this instance, I was blessed by a couple angels while songwriting. So, I wrote the song about them.

Reptile Dysfunction

Posted on May 4, 2013March 21, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Don’t let some alligator
Be an agitator
Don’t let some crocodile
Steal your smile
Or, you’ll end up with reptile dysfunction

Don’t let some snapping turtle
Prove a hurdle
Don’t let some boa constrictor
Constrict ya
Or, you’ll end up with reptile dysfunction

Don’t let some rattle snake
Confidence shake
Don’t let some lizard
Curse your wizard
Or, you’ll end up with reptile dysfunction

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — E G A E

This song was inspired by the angels I’ve been bumping into. Some of them seem to have a severe aversion to serpents. Take it as a tongue-in-cheek metaphor?

What do they call it
When it’s a sap flow?

All the words are washed toward led

All the time dreams filling your head

Let’s Get

Posted on May 2, 2013May 2, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Verse
Though the road may look long and steep ahead
… there’s nothing to dread
If the pressure’s mounting… don’t think you’ll make it?
Then, come on let’s get

Chorus
Every good boy deserve favor (EGBDF are the notes on the lines of a treble clef)
Especially when he’s paid his dues
Let ’em choose his flavor
Country, rock or the blues

Reprise
Hey, hey no meet up with me
Baby, baby let’s see what we’ll be
Hey, hey now greet Sir Certainty
Baby, baby create our destiny
