B / C
Physical and emotional.
A song about my broken leg and the girl I met the night before… learning to walk again after a broken leg… learning to love again after a broken heart… kind or the same thing? Bringing on the joy, the pain fades away… I’m learning to walk again.

Dm
All the clamour
Endless debate
Doesn’t matter
How irrate
Em / Am
‘casuse it’s too late now?
(‘casuse it’s too late now?)
Dm
The less you stammer
The less you state
The more I’d rather
Reiterate
Em / Am
It’s too late now
C / Em
But, somehow
The stars shine brighter
Laughter
Does away with shadow
Em / Am
It’s alright now!
Am / Am add F# / Em / Am
It’s quite alright!!!
These lyrics were written looking out the window of a jet. Flying coast to coast across America gives you a different perspective. The clouds looked like snow covered mountains. Although, if you tried to land on them, you would sink through them like landing on water. When there was a break in the clouds, you could see a giant quilt of landwork. It made me realize — the layers of matter that make-up our planet are an amazing gift that I can tend to take for granted.
lyrics
A sea of clouds
Appears
As arctic mountains
Above the clouded see
Of mountains
Is there land
From sea to sea
When I can’t
See
Below the sea
Of clouds
That appears
As snow covered
Land
Though I can’t
Land
Upon this land —
The sea of clouds
The layers of particles
That give birth
To this particular
Place called Earth
Then the sea
Begins to part
And I can see
The quilted parts
The particular
Parcels
On which we’ll land
For what it’s worth
Coming down to Earth
After having thought about the Mess, it seemed time to put out another album or two. The writing is happening in a bunch of different ways.
For a while, I had pretty much stopped recording and preferred to play before a live audience. Quite a few songs came from it that were never recorded. I’m recording various tracks for these songs. For instance, I will hook-up an electric guitar through a Digi-tech effects pedal and into an M-audio portable digital recorder.
Some songs in the works are coming from the moment. The other day I flew to San Diego. In flight, a bunch of lyrics came to me, so I wrote them down.
Stay tuned in for the pieces to start showing up here.
Then, I plan on collecting the parts and producing songs.
The working name for the new project is Charge It! There are a few reasons why this body of work has taken on that name.
Most of the songs took on a new age social commentary based on old age prophecy. When most people think of prophecy, they think of The Book Of Revelations. But, there is a book that is much older, The Book Of Daniel. The Book Of Daniel can be a frightening read. Even more frightening, is that it’s quite possible Daniel’s revelations are coming true in our day and age.
Chapter 12 (the official last chapter) is entitled “The End Of Times.” We started putting a website together that looks at Daniel’s End Of Times and what is going on today — CThru.com.
Much of the music.ChargeIt.com project is based on The Book Of Daniel and our new Chapter 13.

Zombies Part I
Zombies Part II
Can’t We Quit?
What Can I Do?
It seemed only fitting that our response to the dead rising up and zombies at the end of times should be — Charge It!
