LYRICS
What’s your take on the take?
What do you make
Of your perspective?

Going reflective….

What’s your attitude on attitude
When it comes to people who are rude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

’till our cup runneth over
’till our glass is full
’till there is no null… no, no null at all

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

Do you have longitude
Do you have latitude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
(Adjusted attitude)
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

LYRICS
Let’s raise the spirit
Come on! Can you hear it?

In the way you express
In the way that you move
In the way you lay down a groove

Let’s raise the spirit
Come on! Can you hear it?

When more is less
Less will prove
In the way we lay down our groove

Let’s raise the spirit
Come on! Can you hear it?

Embody The Soul

Posted on January 21, 2013January 21, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
You can be the eye of a hurricane
You can be the face of a cliff
As long as you’re not an old stiff
By keeping an active brain

You can be the moth of a river
You can be the heart of the matter
By keeping young as a mad hatter
You’ll be the one to deliver

Embody the soul
The sole body

Where one and one and one are one
When one and one and one are one

Oh! Susanna (Part 2)

Posted on January 12, 2013January 14, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
It rained all night the day I left
The it was dry
And, we all go marching
Down into the ground
To get out of the rain

When January feels like June
Wake up! Wake up! And, none too soon
And we all go searching
Everywhere all around
To get our of the rain

Oh! Susanna
Won’t you cry for me
Oh! Susanna
All can surely see
Oh! Susanna
It’s a tragedy

Oh! Susanna Part 2.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Capo 1
C Am
G Am

Written and recorded on January 12, 2013 in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania as a digital, 4-track stereo, extemporaneous recording. After posting this status on Facebook, the song was written and recorded on the streets: “Hmmm… 60 degrees in January… perfect day to take music to the streets… maybe write a global warming song?”

It started while I was sleeping… I heard a news report about severe weather being the new normal. Then, I started hearing a mix of the Stephen Foster song Oh! Susanna and the children’s version of Johnny Comes Marching Home known as The Ants Go Marching (and a dash if You Are My Sunshine)… kind-of tossing traditional irony with a modern day twist.

Here There Anywhere.mp3

LYRICS
From here to there
And, anywhere in between
A gypsy of body… a lover of being

Spirit comes apart
Soul comes together
There’s a certain science or art
To being a gypsy body
And, a lover of being

From here to there
And, anywhere in between

Thank you your Grace
For allowing me to embrace
This form
This warm form

From here to there
And, everywhere in between

I’ve been reckoning on reckoning
You know

I’ve been reckonin’ if I can be forgiven for all my sin

Severe Serene Scene Seen

Posted on December 6, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
I’ve seen
A severe serene scene
One void of mean
Default — self-wealth

Like a bug screen filtered dream
A severe serene scene seen

I’ve seen
A severe serene scene
Completely come clean
Spiritually stealth

Singular multitudes
Splendid attitudes
Singular multitudes
Singing songs on high
The answer to, “Why?”

Fear Not

Posted on July 22, 2012 by admin

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!

Why not fear not?

Peace

Posted on July 17, 2012July 17, 2012 by admin

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

Peace .mp3

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.”

A Happy Ending

Posted on July 6, 2012 by admin

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

Radiate

Posted on June 7, 2012 by admin

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

Afterbirth

Posted on April 30, 2012 by admin

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

C / Em / Am

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.
