The mountains and the ocean seem to have special qualities that attract humans. The following series is about just that.

apply it to yourself?]

LYRICS
Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You just might….
Going down to Downey’s
Plenty of players there
With the spirit to experiment
What sound can be found?
Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You just might….
Take some singers to Ringers
Bring more to the dance floor
Give a look that’s meant
To ask if there’s more
Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You’ll improve my sight
Catch a glimpse
Through the crowd
We’ll sing our song
We’ll sing it loud
With astral dancing
Made for romancing
Embrace the space
While we have the chance
bookmark_borderThe Hippie Blues
inspired by Mike Garrity, David Hawkins, Eric Laos, Jayar Bass and all the other souls at the party
I’ve seen the strangest things
These past nights
The brightest lights
Happening hues
Giving life clues
I’ve heard the strangest things
These last days
Bands on the banks
Playing the hippie blues
Catching the early rays
With a community born
From love and harmony
They’ve become kin to me
We’re starting to see
What we can do
When we care to share
Everyone sings:
We’re happy to be
In each other’s company
To catch the thrill
Of the soul spill

It’s looking like you’ll help me see
Why they like empathy
At the price of you and me
Exploitation
Is what I want
If it’s an explanation
Exploit me
bookmark_borderOutrageous
Now, if I could just
Get it through to me
Without giving out
What we’re all about….
Then, the intuition
Will prevail
There is that
That you are
That makes us
… outrageous
It has to do
With how delicious
Thank you

The story is true, though the names have been changed to protect the guilty. I wrote to my lawyer, “Radical change happened in my life… but, I’m still a writer… and would appreciate any help with editing that my friends may offer. It’s my plan to explain to you what has happened over the past four years.”
My lawyer responded, “DON’T DO IT. YOU HAVE BEEN FORWARNED!!!!”
In –The End
by Daniel Brouse
There are no words to say
That’ll ever be O.K.
A host of barristers will complain
Try to claim that I’m insane
They’ll say, “Put no words into play.”
That’d be A-ok
Except…
I’ve something to say
After all,
How long will I have the chance to voice my choice
How long can I stand behind my stance
How long before I meet my maker
Then,
Only to be a liar, poser or faker?
The child in me
Gives my mind an eye
And, I…
Am able to see
The child in me
Gives my mind an eye
And, I…
Am able to see
There are no words to say
No music to play
Nothing… that’ll convey…
What you’ve do to me
Let the light shine in
Into your heart
Happiness your mistress
Let the light shine on
Onto your soul
For you can’t outlast your past
In “–The End”
You’re all you were

Rise my child
Your seat is saved here in the end
And, Lord knows
You’ll need more than just a friend
Such a bright
Such a bright and sunny day
On the wing
Round and round
Carousel clown
Seek your ride today
Seek your ride
Come inside
Seek your ride today
Seek your ride on the wing
For today
Seek your ride on the wing
For today

Walk alone through the darkness
See the light in her face
Distant memories that we carry
Oh, has this all been a waste?
I mean to cover miles
I’ve walked for many days
Tending to the fire, playing in the rain
See through lies in all their eyes
You’ll never trust again
If it weren’t for one lost soldier
They’d be a hundred of them dead
Delay your heart and double cross it
All is fair and people stare
So, wear shades in the sun

LYRICS
Ohhhh, thank God we’re not stranded
Weeellll, heellll, yeah… we’ve landed
we tried to plan for it
we prayed we’d live to it… through it
at least, to part where we start
what’s next
now, I’m no longer perplexed
we were never hexed
we just put ourselves into this place
the place?
we tried to replace our race
with space
empty
space
as the light at the end of the tunnel approaches
it to us or us to it
it becomes appreciative
the moment
the mood
the climate
is good
if there’s any doubt that you should
if there’s any reason you could.. n’t
no sense to rage
no sense to rant
that’s all long ago
or don’t we know
who want’s to get caught up in the murk
the light is at hand
if we do not command… the shadows to lurk
to understand is at hand
the light’s right there
we’re ohhhh so close
never again to be rare
a point when everyone knows
when everyone knows
yaaaa, they at least… want to know
now, here we are
it wasn’t that far
we’ve landed at that space in time
where everything that I am
can see the beginning from the end
The End Of Our Times
Is not the End Of The End
It’s just the start of something new
Now, we knew
the message we’ll send
— The End

LYRICS
If you’re having one of those days
When you don’t know which way to go
You just don’t know
You know it’s true
You can count on my
We’ll see what we can do
Just give me a call
About anything at all
And, I’d be happy to lend a hand
To help understand
What the hell we’re doing
Why we want to ruin… everything
If you’re having one of those days
When you don’t know which way to go
You just don’t know
Well, I’m still standing
Some find it hard to believe
I’ve got an understanding with the Almighty
And, I fall to my knees
And, I try, try, try to please
I fall to my knees
She says, “Whatcha doing? Get up on your feet.
Get out on the street.
You do me no good when you’re there on the floor.
No, no more.
So, get on your feet.
Get on the street”
She doesn’t care if you’re discrete
She just wants you to shout out the beat
Cause I’m still standing after all I’ve been through
And, I’d be more than happy to help you
I’m still standing
I know it’s true

LYRICS
The magnitude of the pure attitude
Is quite refreshing
A pleasant sensation beyond imagination
You’ll pull through a good mood
It’s elevating
From the depths of within you reach in
Bring out the good and fill the hole in with soul food
A feast and party that lifts the spirit
People far and wide can hear it
It rolls like a tide
Flies like a bird
A beautiful sound for all to be heard
Gotta love the magnitude of your attitude
Omnipresent without being rude
No, no privacy violation
Just a lovely sensation
Like an adolescent footloose and fancy free
The magnitude of the pure attitude
Untainted by lust or lies
No weather, just clear skies
The magnitude of the pure attitude
Untainted by lust or lies
No whether, just clear skies

LYRICS
Do you think she really did that on purpose
So, disruptive
So, do you really think she did it on purpose
Self-punitive
Do you know why would she do that on purpose
Inexplicable
So, do you believe she would do it on purpose
Unexplainable
Why would anyone ever do that on purpose
Worthless
So, do you really think she did it on purpose
Pointless
Do you think she really did that on purpose
So, disruptive
So, do you really think she did it on purpose
Self-punitive
Shoot yourself in the foot
Make every point moot
Shoot yourself in the foot
Ripped out by the roots
Making your every point moot
Give it the South Philly salute
Guess I’ll take my marbles and go home
No more of the lame game
Watching you fiddle as you burn Rome
Don’t wanna take part in the shame
