LYRICS
Even when it’s raining, the sun shines
Even though you’re hot, you run cold
Will we be reading between the lines
Just to find… (spirits don’t have to grow old)
An answer for ignorance
When there is a preponderance
Of evidence
And, the witness is you
What will you do?
How quickly things change in the land of Oz
How quickly things change in the land of ours

LYRICS
Where do the good people go… do you know?
If the good life they’ve been livin’
Is full with the goodness of givin’
(Even with the occasional sinnin’)
Ya get into heaven
Pass the pearly gates
I can hardly wait
Where do the bad people go… do you know?
If after all the chances
You choose your dances
By selling your soul to the devil
Well… ya go straight to….
H e double toothpick
While you’re still quick
Don’t take too long
And, be judged as dead
LYRICS
Are you afraid to open your door
See people hurting like never before
Are you afraid to answer the phone
Hear the moan become a constant drone
Are you afraid to show your face
Tired of being made a public disgrace
Are you afraid to communicate
The wrong way on a one-way
Bombarded with hate, hate, thate
Then, please don’t hesitate
To call on God. Let Her mediate.
The place is here. The time is now.
Believe She’ll hear… She does somehow
God’s good grace. The mercy upon you.
Redeem your scene to heavenly… see!

LYRICS
If you should go out
There is a storm looming about
Be prepared to go under… how close is the thunder?
If you should go out
There is a storm brooding about
About an unrest in the atmosphere
If you should go out
There is a storm’s thunder shout
About to make Her way near
her intention are clear
About to make Her way here
if you should go out
There is a storm looming about
No question who is the mightiest
No question who is the frailest
Not even a test in jest
From Her foreboding i can foresee

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.”
Written and recorded July 17, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania using a Boss digital 8-track.

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
Written and recorded on June 15, 2012 at the Revolutionary War memorial for Major General Friedrich Wilhelm Baron von Steuben at Valley Forge National Park in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The song asks the question, “Have we done our part in securing freedom?”
Written and recorded on June 9, 2012 as an accident occurred right in front of me in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The mean has to do with a train coming off the tracks in the middle of a bee hive as compared to the human race.
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
Love
Written and recorded on Memorial Day, May 28, 2012 in west Chester, Pennsylvania at the Veterans’ Memorial. It is about remembering what is important in life without being told over and over again. “It’s Too Late!
