LYRICS
If you go out of the house today
You better not go alone
If you go out of the house today
You’re better off staying at home
The last minute shoppers will run all over you
They’ll walk all over you, too
Then, instead of your Christmas being white… it’ll be blue
Last minute shoppers
Make us into circle hoppers
Got to jump through hoops
They shop, shop, shop until they drop
The last minute shoppers run all over
What are you going to do?

LYRICS
I walk upright
Am a little too bright
For my own good
That’s who I am
Did the best I could
Will do the best I can
’cause that’s who I am
Do you find it bizarre
That’s who we are
The omnivore
Cast as Earth’s whore
Just take a look at our shape…
Not much better than an ape
Coach, let’s catch the last stage coach
Ride off into the setting sun
As it all comes undone

LYRICS
I get so excited when I think it might
Snow Christmas night
And, if I really believe
Maybe Christmas eve
I get so excited when I think we might
Make Hanukkah bright
Let the light relieve
For eight days and a night
I get so excited when I think we might
Get together… unite!
All religions of The Book
Take on the peace look
ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — A E7sus4 C#m7 Aadd9 C#dim
Written and recorded December 9, 2012 in Chester County, PA. The song is intended to bring people of every religion together. After all, Jews, Christians and Muslims all believe in the same God.
Why Donāt Christianās Celebrate Hanukkah?
And she (virgin Mary) who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her, and We made her and her son a sign for all that exists.
— Chapter Anbiya, verse 91. Holy Koran
And indeed We gave Moses the Scripture, that they may be guided. And We made the son of Mary and his mother as a sign, and We gave them refuge on a high ground, a place of rest, security and flowing streams. And verily this your religion is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me. But they have broken their religion among them into sects.
— Chapter 23 verses 49 50, 52, 53 – Koran

LYRICS
I feel something in the innards
Around the solar plexus
Though describing it perplexes
A touch of God’s is obvious
Pray for today
Your rewards come tomorrow
Pray through the day
May your next one follow
I feel something in my heart
Some sorts of Love’s hexes
Though explaining it perplexes
A touch of God’s is obvious
Chorus
I feel something… let us sing!
Let us be Love’s chorus
Emulate what we can’t articulate
A touch of God’s is obvious

LYRICS
I wish I could shop until I drop
Alas, there’s nothing I can do
I get the shopping blues
Wish I could get that “best price” pop
Get a rush like a bunny… hop, hop, hop
Alas, there’s nothing I can do
I get the shopping blues
No pause to contemplate the (environmental) flop
My Christmas wish — stop, stop, stop

LYRICS
Very thankful you gave us the day
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again
Thankful to make it all this way
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again
An opportunity of a lifetime
A gift of time that I can call mine
Quite thankful for the day and the night
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again
Thankful for the might of your light
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again
An experience of a lifetime
An existence that’s more than fine

LYRICS
Taking a second look
I should have known you were a crook
Looks like now you’ll be a page in The Book
When you try to runaway, lie and hide
From your responsibilities
You invoke your own reciprocity
Causing grave disabilities
A mark on your history
Once upon a time,
Your story invaded mine
And, it looks like you’re a page in The Book
It may not be too late to change your fate
Seek forgiveness for your sin and be born again
Then, this scary tail may have a happy ending
Raise the vibe while you’re alive!
Be the climax to the story
With your new found glory
Forevermore our story

LYRICS
Faith in hope
Hope in faith
I have hope in hope
Faith that hope holds true
Within you skin’s underneath
Bare the soul that’s within you
Release the love from within the bloke
Faith that life’s not a joke
Hope that mankind learns to cope
Hoping Faithfully
Shy of pride
Fashion of compassion
String as an oak
Weaving threads into rope
Bringing peace to Earth
Faith in hope
Hope in faith
Spreading smiles and mirth
Hoping to spread the faith
Hoping Faithfully

LYRICS
Every once-in-a-while notice God is living on Earth
To all creation She gave birth
Now, She’s part of everything you do
Now, She’s everywhere… inside and out of you
An omnipresent presence for your Christmas present
An omniscient pleasure. In your image!
Represent
Every once in a while consider your worth
A 3D model… in depth, height and girth
Representing Her in all you do
Bring the goodness from the inside out of you
Bringing life, comfort and joy for now and evermore
Forever getting better… faith, hope and more
May Her peace forever endure

LYRICS
I’m totally devoted to you
If there’s anything I can do?
Totally devout
Totally devoted
And, I’ve been promised the Promised Land
And, I’ve been blessed to understand
Totally devout
Totally devoted
Some day, Mama, I’llĀ be coming home
In the meantime, I’m never alone
Totally devout
Totally devoted
There’s still much tadoo to do
Living every minute of serving you
Totally devout
Totally devoted

LYRICS
The wind does howl
To the pour of rain’s growl
Poor, poor, poor visibility (Can’t you see, you can’t see?)
Ohhhh… I thought the day I’d never see
Full moon. High tide.
You’ve got no place left to hide
“Cryin’ won’t help you, prayin’ won’t do you no good”
You should’ve run, should’ve run just as fast as you could
Full moon. High tide.
Worst time to make landfall
Full moon. High tide.
It’s a wonder if there’s anything left at all
ABOUT THE SONG
Music by Eric, Carpenter John and Daniel; written and recorded as an impromptu blues jam as we waited for the Hurricane to arrive; Norristown, PA on October 28, 2012.
Lyrics by Daniel; written and recorded inside the truck as Hurricane Sandy was making landfall; West Chester, PA on October 29, 2012.
Inspired by:
“Cryin’ won’t help you, prayin’ won’t do you no good”
the author of “When The Levee Breaks”, Kansas Joe (as made famous by Led Zeppelin)
Pictures I saw going by on the Internet:
The science of a high tide, full moon and landfall of a hurricane —
Higher-than-normal tides — tied to a full moon — have added to Hurricane Sandy’s coastal flooding threat.
As you might expect the explanation is a matter of simple astronomy, not any kind of lunacy associated in folklore with a full moon.
“It’s not the moon’s phase that matters, but the position,” says astronomer Phil Plait on his Bad Astronomy website.
During a full moon, the moon is essentially lined up on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun (this is what allows the near surface of the moon to be illuminated in its full splendor) and the gravitational tug of war between those two intensifies at this time, resulting in higher tides.
This kind of alignment of astronomical objects is called a syzygy (SIH-zhih-jhee) and sailors have understood the effect for centuries. So, for Hurricane Sandy, the higher-than-normal tides that threaten to add to an 11-foot storm surge feared for lower Manhattan are simply a matter of bad timing. — USA Today

Still the weather can spill a chill
Halloween, Thanksgiving… then, it’s Christmas, again
Did you know they’re already talking snow?
Still the whether-or-not slipknot
come clean with thanks… giving beyond Christmas
Bring out cheer more than once a year
Reindeer and mistletoe… comfort, joy and happiness
Did you know they’re already talking snow?
Eternal Spirit… may you share in it

LYRICS
Raise your stein to Frankenstorm
The lessons that we all can learn
Drink. Drink. Drink! A toast to Sandy
Civilization on the verge of insanity
Call in the cows from the farm
Less they be Wizard-of-Oz airborne
Drink. Drink. Drink! A toast to Sandy
Civilization on the verge of insanity
Life threatening. Light Thundering.
Strife rendering. Right bewildering.

Going to take a picture of love
Sending it to you for Christmas
Create an impression
For a yuletide expression
Hoping for some guidance from above
Delivering a message… bringing happiness
Christmas impression
Tiding of compassion
I hope to capture an image of love
Sharing it with you for Christmas
Christmas impression
Presenting God’s expression of exaltation
