Two to One

Posted on October 6, 2024 by admin

[Verse 1]
What do ya say just for fun
Me and you go from two to one
(Just for fun… two to one)
Hey, what do you say? Make my day
Before the night comes undone
(Just for fun… two to one)

[Chorus]
Combine in time
Meld to be held
(Fine finespun… mine is won)
Same place in space
Duo? No, no trace
(Heart is won… heart is one)

[Bridge]
[Instrumental, Flute Solo]
Within (your skin)
Heaven (veil’s thin)

[Verse 2]
What do ya there’s still sun
We melt together as one
(Just for fun… two to one)
Hey, what do you say? All the day
Before the nighttime has come
(Just for fun… two to one)

[Chorus]
Combine in time
Meld to be held
(Fine finespun… mine is won)
Same place in space
Duo? No, no trace
(Heart is won… heart is one)

[Bridge]
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
Within (your skin)
Heaven (veil’s thin)

[Chorus]
Combine in time
Meld to be held
(Fine finespun… mine is won)
Same place in space
Duo? No, no trace
(Heart is won… heart is one)

[Outro]
Within (your skin)
Heaven (veil’s thin)

ABOUT THE SONG
“Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” is a Jamaican folk song with roots in the daily work chants of dockworkers. The song originated as a call-and-response chant used by banana field workers who worked at night loading ships with fruit, particularly during the 19th century when Jamaica’s banana industry was prominent. The lyrics reflect the workers’ desire to finish their labor at daybreak and be paid for their toil. The song became internationally famous when popularized by Harry Belafonte in 1956, showcasing the rich tradition of Caribbean folk music.

Light in Plain Sight

Posted on October 5, 2024October 5, 2024 by admin

[Intro]
They say
There might be light
On the other side
Under cover
Of the night
Discover
It can’t hide

[Verse 1]
On the other side of the clouds
(The clouds shroud)
There’s light in plain sight
(Yes, that’s right)

[Chorus]
They say
There might be light
On the other side
Under cover
Of the night
Discover
It can’t hide

[Bridge]
If I could get out of my own way
(Don’t know my own shadow?)
The light would be quite bright
(Know a rainbow at play)

[Verse 2]
On the other side the Earth
(Our girth’s in the way of day)
There’s light in plain sight
(Yes, that’s right)

[Chorus]
They say
There might be light
On the other side
Under cover
Of the night
Discover
It can’t hide

[Bridge]
If I could get out of my own way
(Don’t know my own shadow?)
The light would be quite bright
(Know a rainbow at play)

[Outro]
Today I may…
(get out of my own way)
Know my shadow

Amazing Grace

Posted on October 5, 2024 by admin

[Refrain]
Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.

[Verse]
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease:
I’ll have possessed, within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.

[Verse]
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
the sun forbear to shine;
(Oh God!) been called to go below,
at the End of time

[Refrain]
Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.

ABOUT THE SONG
“Amazing Grace” was written in 1772 by John Newton, a former slave trader who became an Anglican priest. The hymn reflects his spiritual transformation after renouncing his past, symbolizing redemption and forgiveness.

In the context of climate change, the hymn can serve as an analogy for humanity’s potential to recognize the damage we’ve caused to the Earth. Just as the song speaks of being “lost” and “blind” but eventually “seeing,” it parallels how society must wake up to the reality of climate degradation and take action to change course before it’s too late. The final verse, “The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,” offers a stark metaphor for the planet’s vulnerability, urging reflection and a collective shift toward sustainability.

It’s Getting Dark?

Posted on October 5, 2024 by admin

[Intro]
It’s getting dark?
(And, darker still)
It’s getting dark

[Verse 1]
Is it getting dark
Too hard for me to see
Shine some light on reality

[Chorus]
It’s getting dark
(And, darker still)
It’s getting dark
(How long until?)

[Bridge]
Ironically
Foreboding
Tectonically
Astounding

[Verse 2]
Is there insight in sight
Oh, please…
Incite some light

[Chorus]
It’s getting dark
(And, darker still)
It’s getting dark
(How long until?)

[Bridge]
Ironically
Foreboding
Tectonically
Astounding

[Chorus]
It’s getting dark
(And, darker still)
It’s getting dark
(How long until?)

[Bridge]
Ironically
Foreboding

[Outro]
Tectonically
Astounding

A SCIENCE NOTE
Sidd remarked, “Every day in every way, things get worse and worse.” Sidd has been my lab partner for over 30 years, holds a doctorate in physics, and has supervised countless PhD candidates in the field. Together, we were the first team to hypothesize and later substantiate that climate change is non-linear. Here’s a paper we co-authored on the acceleration of climate change: Climate Change: Rate of Acceleration Brouse and Mukherjee (2023-2024)
