Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Slingshot around the closest star
See how far we really are
Gravity assist trajectory
Maneuver man-overboard
Year upon year upon year upon year upon year
Turn into light year smear
How does time appear?
… the years appear to smear…
Years appear smeared

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can you give me the time of day
I seem to have lost my way
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
Found my space
But displaced
I am
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
May I continue on….

Can you give me the time of year
Even what season’s drawing near
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
Found my space
But displaced
I am
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
May I continue on….

Can you tell me day or night
I’m searching for the light
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
Found my space
But displaced
I am
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
May I continue on….

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Once upon a dream
I came upon a scene
A serene sublime time
Wishing wells in pastels
Taking shape in landscapes
I’ve outgrown fate

Further down the road
Slip into 4-D mode
I can see beyond me
Wishing wells in pastels
Taking shape in landscapes
I’ve outgrown fate

Right has gone and left
And left is not all right
The deft shine on the light
Wishing wells in pastels
Taking shape in landscapes
I’ve outgrown fate

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Bring on wisdom
Less kingdom
Chaos it
Not random
An arm’s length from Armageddon
Fare the well gates of hell
Time did tell

Bring on wisdom
Less stardom
Chaos is
Not random
Procrastination?
It’s too late
It’s know/no surprise
Need to get wise
No more lies

Bring on wisdom
Chaos is
Not random
When does a sage come of age
Why does logic still outrage?
Turn the page

bookmark_borderUpdraft

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Particle derived raindrops arise
The mass amassed depends on size
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

Evaporate
At an ever increasing rate
Participate
A pounding precipitate
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

What goes up must come down
Bob and weave… avoid the crown
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

The moral of the story
Don’t belittle
The vision and the glory
Of Chicken Little
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

Chords: Em C D A / Em C
Instrumentation: Vocals, Guitar, Piano
Written and recorded live to a digital 6-track at Lake Wynonah, PA

bookmark_borderZero Air (Hard to Dance)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sound can’t travel through space
There’s no sound found
In a vacuum not a trace
No sound around
Come on down
To Earth
You can hear down here
For what it’s worth

Out in space it’s hard to dance
When no sound can be found
A “hard to dance” circumstance
Without sound
Come on down
To Earth
You can hear down here
For what it’s worth

Does life without music
Make you sick
The confines of space have bound
There’s a solution… a quick trick
Sound is found
Come on down
To Earth
You can hear down here
For what it’s worth

LYRICS
Orbit
Closest star
Won’t quit
Let’s go far
Turning tears into years

Baby
Star’s moving
Maybe
Revolving
Leaving fears in arrears

Surely
Galaxy
Our years are in gears

A song about seeing the James Webb Space Telescope images and realizing the sun is moving through space… along with our whole galaxy.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
From before
Came some more
From now on
Before’s gone
Gonna get away from me
Gonna get away from you
For me it’s presently
For you, too?

From before
Came some more
From now on
Before’s gone
Gonna come again to me
Gonna come again to you
For it feels currently
How ’bout you?

From before
Came some more
From now on
Before’s gone
Seems that “is” is where we are
Present tense can’t get too far
For a did there was a do
For you, too?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The stop at The End of the Drop
32 feet per second per second
Oh, to meet the levity of gravity
Standing on top looking down
What solace can be found
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
Over the edge on the ledge
What logic is found sound
Come on… look around
(Round and round)

The stop at The End of the Drop
32 feet per second per second
O2 to meet the levity of gravity
Standing on top looking down
What solace can be found
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
As time goes past, grasps can’t last
Will our panic confound
Come on… look around
(Round and round)

The stop at The End of the Drop
32 feet per second per second
Oh, to meet the levity of gravity
Standing on top looking down
What solace can be found
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
As time goes past, grasps can’t last
Will our panic compound
Come on… look around
(Round and round)

Part particle
Yet, slave to wave

Cruising at the speed of light

Traveling faster than the speed of light
Seems so infeasible
Is it possible?
Will I last or
Concede to the might
Acceleration

Moving fast
Beyond light
Will I last
Beyond sight?

To the nearest star
Can you tell be how far
Can I catch a ride to the other side

Into the stars…
Mind travelers…
Are
Thinking at the speed of light
Careful, don’t want to miss that right
Right? Right!

You know? You know!

It wasn’t that far
You’re there
Always been… just unaware
We’ve all been beings
Already there
In the stars
