LYRICS
Here’s the thing about string
In the theory of string
You ought not push
Less knot you furnish

Here’s the thing
If you push on a string
Appear a gluttony lush
With the knot (not) you furnish

The meaning of the song has to do with the Complete Theory of the Universe. Some consider String Theory to be the complete theory of the universe. A simplistic view would be to imagine everything as a string. What happens when you try to push a string? A more complex way to look at is through a vibration. Can you imagine everything as a vibration? What kind of vibration will you be?

String Theory states that strings propagate through space and time.

“These oscillations exist in discrete vibrational modes, the spectrum of the theory.”

“An analogy for strings’ modes of vibration is a guitar string’s production of multiple but distinct musical notes. In the analogy, different notes correspond to different particles. One difference is the guitar string exists in 3 dimensions, so that there are only two dimensions transverse to the string. Fundamental strings exist in 9 dimensions and the strings can vibrate in any direction, meaning that the spectrum of vibrational modes is much richer.”

Human Sacrifice
Human Sacrifice

LYRICS
Have you heard what they did?
Marched her up a pyramid
’till they screamed for more
Split her skin wide open
Exposing blood and gore

Have you heard what they’ve done?
Locked her in a dungeon
Brought the dragon in
Disgracing the glen
With disdain and sin

Have you heard what they do?
Please take upon my peace pipe
Lit with magic stick
and, offer it, offer it, offer it up a bit

Sacrament
Sacrifice
You decide which is right
Sacrament
Will suffice
In shedding the light

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 2
E / B
E / B / G / A / E
E / G / A / E

Written and recorded on July 16, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

“Human sacrifice was a religious practice characteristic of pre-Columbian Aztec civilization, as well as of other mesoamerican civilizations such as the Maya and the Zapotec.” “Heart-extraction was viewed as a means of liberating the istli and reuniting it with the Sun, as depicted in Codex Magliabechiano, Folio 70 (illustrated in this section), wherein a victim’s transformed heart flies Sunward on a trail of blood.” “The Aztecs would give a series of rituals to unlucky nearby tribesman to be sacrificed with an obsidian knife, and donate their blood to Acolnahuacatl, an Aztec god. When they had known he had finished his drink and he was no longer thirsty, they would end the sacrificing. This ritual would go on for a whole weekend, so as to please the gods.”

A sacrament is “a Rite in which God is uniquely active”

“A calumet is a ceremonial smoking pipe used by some Native American nations. Traditionally it has been smoked to seal a covenant or treaty, or to offer prayers in a religious ceremony.”

LYRICS
What will be your part
When it’s time to depart
What will be the message you send
When you reach your end?

What did you will in your will
Will it serve to help people still
Did you pay off your debt, yet
Let your hair down
Did you care to share your crown
Let it all hang out
Tell the truth what love’s about
Did you care to leave no regret
Or, like an ass
Did you leave nothing behind
Well, it’s not too late
Don’t let another day pass
You can be nice. You can be kind.
Just don’t wait till your post mortem

LYRICS
Though an optimist
I must admit
Some situations on Earth
Are bleak
We forgot to care
For the meek
Now, the social justification
That I did fear
Is much closer
Than just near

Radiate.
Be intimate
Transfer
With Her
Mother of the Earth

Give birth
Bring forth

Bring it down from on above
Radiate
Be intimate

LYRICS
The most I’ve ever seen Spring
Look like fall
When birth is death
It can’t be good at all

The perplexing thing
We can’t crawl
Let alone baby steps

As we clone and postpone
Rippin’ our lungs out
With ozone

While we raged
God wept
Our conscious slept
We’re the ones… that should have been caged

Written on April 29, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

The song was motivated by the color of the landscape. Instead of the trees looking like they were coming to life in the springtime, they appeared to be dying as if it were fall.

Dum, dum, do, deo, do, de, do, dum… dum
At the time, you know the time
and, by the way, on the day
Almost like you can smell it in the air
They set the verse to rhyme
Then, there
They strum
They drum
Rhythm is born and then bears a vibration

LYRICS
You! Yes, you.
You’re on the verge of…
[And, I’m realizing
Your victimizing
Puts all on the verge…
We’re on the fringe of violence

Looks like I’ll have to pass you by (sigh!)

Sirens screaming
Distraction leaning
Toward anarchy
A cryin’ shame
We’re to blame
For not takin’ care of our own
Opportunity blown
We crush the lush
Then, try n’ hush
The harm…
Reason for alarm

ABOUT
Written and recorded in April 2012
The original idea came from feeling hatred from another as I watched them pass by in West Chester, PA. The more intelligent part was inspired from feeling love on the streets of Ambler, PA. The one line about taking care of our own is a protest to a Bruce Springsteen… because, we ain’t done a very good job of taking care of humans, have we?

Bringing The Love Along (Free .MP3 Music Download)

LYRICS
I’ve been sleeping with Mother Nature
In a state all natural
She keeps asking questions…
… with answers unsure

She wants to know
When I go…
… to sleep with Her for eternity
What I think I can bring

So, I’ve been coming to some realizations
“You can’t take it with you”
I ask, “What about money, jewels and land?”
She says, “Don’t you understand?
That’s the thing…
You can’t take it with you”

Then, she snuggled up and whispered in my ear,
“There is one thing you can take from here.
You can bring the love you create
To make music beyond Heaven’s Gate

The beauty of our new reality
Bring along the love

Bringing the love along for song

The Song *With Love And Rage*

We’ve entered an age
In need of our sage
From the year nothing
Spring…
To be our savior
Bringing blankets to the shivering
Bringing food to those hungering
Medical attention to any needing aiding

We pray
Please don’t take that away
With love and rage
Occupy the savage age
X’s and O’s
The hero from year zero

LYRICS
Whirring of the whirlybird
Overhead
Bringing on fear…
Dread
Rumors, gossip…
Over what’s been said

Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Waiting for an onslaught of the assault cop

Gone to hell
All that’s left…
A shell

Heart ripped from soul
Soul ripped from heart
Twisted
Torn apart
What’s the toll of your goal
Resisted
A fresh start

Press the press
For nothing less

Press the press’s button

To turn off

Really that far
From reality of disparity
Disparity of sincerity
The rarity of ability
To annunciate their state
Seek their fate

How can you hoard
When you’re homeless
You’re never board with Earth
When Earth’s your nest

Trying to find the ends
To make ends meet
Thank God, Mother Nature lends

Shelter, drink and something to eat
That’s good… Mother Nature sends

Why do humans hoard
When they need less
Squirrel away for their rainy day
Creating a mess
For those with less
No measure of success
Comparing oneself to the homeless
No measure of success
Compared to worthless
