Buried Treasure

Posted on March 1, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Can you tell me how you feel
For real
Is your heart an abode
Like-geode
Ugly and hard on the outside
But on the inside… wonder and beauty reside

Can you tell me what’s for real
The deal
Is truth in secret code
Stealth mode
Or is the truth obvious
To each and everyone… of us

How many layers to peel
Conceal
Then will it all erode
Forebode
What’s the substance of your soul
Glass half empty… or half full

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: Protest Folk Rock
Chords: C Em / Am Em / Am D
Recording: digital 6-track stereo

Is your love a buried treasure?

Sam I Am

LYRICS
The story of “Sam I Am”

I wasn’t even jamming
Noooo
I was just…
Sitting there
Discussing in a rational fashion
The events of the day
There were some big events that day
Come to be known as the tRump Roast
The arrogant boast the most

We weren’t making a sound
That could be heard
Anywhere around
When from out of nowhere
Ohhhhh no no
The Po-po
The Po-po said you gotta go
Go!
I said, “I dunno”

We were just sitting there
Exercising our civil rights
To discuss the events of the day in a neighborhood way
Nooo… we couldn’t just go
No, no, no
No go

S.O.S.

Posted on January 7, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Can you give me a sign
Give me a signal
Are you feeling fine
Or more an animal

A flash of light
To pierce the night
A puff… a toke
Of signal smoke

Chorus

Set off a flare
I’ll know you’re there
A real loud sound
So you’ll be found

Chorus

A sign… handmade
“Please send some aid!”
Bottle a message
Request passage

Chorus

Let out a yelp
Yell “help, help, help”
Spell S.O.S.
Save Our Souls? Yes!

Soul-utions

LYRICS
Soul-utions
Searching high and low
Everywhere I go
Soul-utions

There’s got to be a Soul-ution
For our pollution
And a Soul-ution
For malnutrition

There’s got to be a Soul-ution
For the failing institution
There’s got to be a Soul-ution
For our lack of resolution

There’s got to be a Soul-ution
For lack of education
And education Soul-ution
Cure mass manipulation

Soul-utions for humane attrition

LYRICS
The whiteness of the snow, ya know…
Tends to cover the blemish of disaster
Makes one less selfish with the laughter

Are you better off living life
Letting your hourglass sand sieve
Or, giving all you can give

Give of your soul
I want to hear your spirit
Let me hear it
Give of your sole
I want to here your spirit
Come on, here it!

In the sifting sands of man
Doing the best that you can

Forget being a stranger in a distant land
Bring forth your love for all to understand

The cover of the snow, ya know
Let’s the Earth’s spirit grow with glow

LYRICS
If it’s feeling a little odd
Maybe it’s time to prod
Your curiosity

Your soul’s inner city
Ego seeking publicity
Id acting out irrationally
Super ego making you feel guilty?

Time to expand your curiosity

LYRICS
No, you don’t look too fancy
Perfectly classy

You can wear that look
Again and again
If over dressed
Thank God, it’s within

Stylishly sassy
For celebration

Pleasant sight to see
Heavenly creation

Spirits Blood Pure

Posted on May 11, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
When I believe there’s more
Spirit’s enable… endure

Flying ever higher
As lives transpire

At the root, the essence, the core
The soul’s the thread… spirits endure
Come on, root, the presence, folklore
The body soul’s bread… spirit’s blood pure

ON the route, transportation store
The sou’s the tread… spirits lure
There’s no doubt, exaltation, for sure
The body soul’s bread… spirit’s blood pure

Learning How To Swim

Posted on May 6, 2013May 6, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
If you’re afraid to choose ’cause you might lose
Go ahead and jump in
’cause you’re certain to lose if you don’t choose
Jump in and learn how to swim

It’s not that hard to figure out
You just relax and float about
Take a deep breath. Take a dive.
Take a glide to the sub side

The water said “you can tread on me”
Go ahead and jump in
The elementary backstroke is elementary. The free is free.
Jump in and learn how to swim

Chorus

This song is an analogy that uses the process of learning how to swim with your body to promote learning to swim with your soul. The video was shot through cacti as sort-of a mirror image of swimming in water.
