The Fall Of Fall

Posted on November 4, 2015November 4, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
The turning of the leaves on the trees
One believes they do die
Released from life they fly through the sky
Waving in the wind… bye-bye

From green to gold and red
Turning to brown … turning dead
’till Spring when “born again” is heard said
The scene turning green instead

Meant they’re dormant ’til Spring
Another year another ring
Then the green scene they’ll bring
Spring back in Spring
Singing springing back in Spring

Sky Blue

Posted on November 3, 2015November 3, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Sky blue
Letting the light shine through
Scattered, too
Into your hue
Sky blue
No red light in sight
Insight due to you
Sky blue
Tiny molecules of air, I know you’re there
For you cause the hue
Now aware, I thank you
Sky blue
Though some may call you a “shorter, smaller wave”
I love the way you behave
Sky blue
I love you

LYRICS
There’s been a natural (nature) release
Have a… won’t you… won’t you please
Have a nice day

Flourishing flora and fauna fulfill
I believe… I believe I will
Perceive… I will do it today

The sun came out
The sky turned blue
Good cheer’s about
How about you?

Happening supernatural release
Have a… won’t you please
Please have a piece/peace
Just the place I love to go
Hearts and souls overflow
The kind-of show ya wanna get to know
Reap the seeds you sow

The Closest Son

Posted on October 17, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
My Son, do you know how far to the closest sun?
How far to the closest star…?
It’s feeling kind of dark in here
And, I hear it’s pretty near

Can you shine some light
And make us bright… enlighten insight
It’s been feeling pretty slight
So, I’m wondering how far to the closest star?
My Son, how far to the nearest sun?

A Day in the Park

Posted on October 7, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Come out of the dark
Meet me in the park
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day
And, when the sun does set
We won’t be done yet
Gaining insight into the night

Let’s shift out of park
Into drive… embark
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day

Chorus

Come out on a lark
Imagination spark
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day

Tangled In Not’s

Posted on October 4, 2015October 4, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
As the NOT’s in the climate tangle
Need to wrangle a new angle
As the NOT’s in the climate knot
The knot of the winds increase
Sustained winds that wouldn’t cease
Then, the rain came down all around
Until the ground was awash in a flood
Up to my eyeballs in gook, muck and mud

The have’s and the have not’s
All have knots
All have knot
All in knots
Over having “not”

All the world is a stage in The Damage Age

Force 12
Hurricane’s off the shelve
Starting out at 64 knot
Yet not
Done
Sure ain’t no whatnot
Better run
Yell, fella, “To the storm cellar!”

Tangled In Not’s.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
C C# Cm C#m

A song about wind speeds (in knots) and human induced climate change.

“A universal scale of wind speed values — since the scale was originally nautical in nature, and that most wind reports at that time were in nautical miles per hour (or converted to them), these numerical values were given in knots. It was a progressive scale with the range of speed for Forces increasing as you go higher. Thus Force 1 is only 3 knots in range (1 kt – 3 kt), while the Force 11 is eight knots (56 kt – 63 kt) in range. So Force 12 [Hurricane] starts out at 64 knots (74 mph, 33 m/s).”

Silent Scream

Posted on October 1, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Eyes gaze in a daze
Eyes glazed in a haze
Can either ear hear
Are you deaf, my Dear?

Chorus
Can you see me signaling
This is the ending
Can you hear me screaming
“Dreaming of you listening”

Eyes stare… unaware
Is anyone in there
Do you think it’s cute
Playing like a mute

Chorus

Eyes open yet blind
Blind-eye turned… not kind
I fear you can hear
Your contempt is clear

Chorus

Total Eclipse of the Moon

Posted on September 28, 2015September 28, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
A total eclipse of the moon
It’ll happen none to soon
Total eclipse of the moon

Omniscient
Reminiscent
Of days gone by
Bye-bye
Why am I
Why am I
Under the sky
Total eclipse of the moon
It happened none to soon
Before mankind’s fall at high noon
At the present
Being omniscient of days gone by
Bye-bye

Supermoon lunar eclipse
Super Blood Moon eclipse
Spread the word or sealed lips
It’s not time for all to die
Found why I am I

Good or bad omen
Amen

Total Eclipse of the Moon.mp3

Several cultures have myths related to lunar eclipses or allude to the lunar eclipse as being a good or bad omen. The Egyptians saw the eclipse as a sow swallowing the moon for a short time; other cultures view the eclipse as the Moon being swallowed by other animals, such as a jaguar in Mayan tradition, or a three legged toad in China. Some societies thought it was a demon swallowing the moon, and that they could chase it away by throwing stones and curses at it. The Greeks were ahead of their time when they said the Earth was round and used the shadow from the lunar eclipse as evidence. Some Hindus believe in the importance of bathing in the Ganges River following an eclipse because it will help you achieve salvation.

Similarly to the Mayans, the Incans believed that lunar eclipses were when a jaguar would eat the moon, which is why a blood moons look red.

The ancient Mesopotamians believed that a lunar eclipse was when the moon was being attacked by seven demons.

In some Chinese cultures, people would ring bells to prevent a dragon or other wild animals from biting the moon.

Watered Down

Posted on September 25, 2015September 26, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
The fresh water level is dropping
The salt water level is rising
Shouldn’t be eye-popping
… no, ain’t surprising
Backlash of brackish backwaters

The water table is dropping
See the sea level rising
Shouldn’t be heart-stopping
… no, ain’t surprising
Backlash of brackish backwaters

Our wells are running drier
While the tides are rising higher
Would’ve thought it our desire
To put out this man-made fire

Backlash of brackish backwaters

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
C Em Am
B E Am

The song was inspired by a lot of misleading information trending in social-media about Nestle and the California drought. The facts of the matter are — most of the water in California is used for agriculture. Nearly 50 billion cubic metres (13 trillion gallons) of water is used in California each year. Nestle bottled water plants only use 705 million gallons a year. Almond growers use about as much water each year as the entire city of Los Angeles. What percentage of California’s water is used by agriculture? 80 %.

The real cause of the problem is Human Induced Climate Change. As droughts increase in frequency and intensity, the sea level is rising. So not only are the droughts a problem, but salt water intrusion is also a problem. As these problems worsen, the solution is not to blame bottled water companies. Nor is the solution to build desalination plants. (Not only do desalination plants contribute to global warming, they also are devastating to the ocean.)

The solution is for humans to take responsibility for the climate change and take action.

Equi-knocks

Posted on September 22, 2015September 22, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Sorry to interrupt
But during this interlude
If you don’t mind as to be so kind
And answer a question or two?
Would you rather fall forward or fall behind
Equi-knocks on the equinox

Didn’t mean to misinterpret
Nor the facts misrepresent
You can call me the fool
Is the day half empty or half full?
Would you rather fall forward or fall behind
Equi-knocks on the equinox

Sorry to interject
At the risk of being a jerk
Knock, knock
Who’s there?
Boo.
Boo who?
No need to cry (sigh)
Next year give ‘er another try
Get your equi-knocks on equinox

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords

A song about the autumnal “fall” equinox. “The oldest meaning of the word “equinox” is the day when daytime and night are of approximately equal duration.” Is your day half empty or half full?

Life Science

Posted on September 17, 2015September 17, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Do you know why we have a blue sky
Or why the old lady swallowed a fly
The inquisitive kind wants to know
How does the knowledge flow

Do you know why we all have to die
No matter how hard we try, try, try
The inquisitive mind wants to know
How does the knowledge flow

Where do you keep all your space
Does it fill your whole place
Baby, it might do you some good
Maybe, fire off a synapse if you could
1, 2, 3, for sure… perhaps more

Do you know why you’d stick thumb into pie
It ain’t so dumb if ya just want the plum
The inquisitive kind wants to know
How to tap knowledge flows

Do you know why we all have to die
No matter how hard we try, try, try
The inquisitive mind wants to know
How to tap knowledge flows

The Gravity of the Situation

Posted on September 16, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Sitting under an apple tree
I discovered gravity
Is it just a law new to me?

Do you feel the world falling through outer space
An annual orbit for the human race

An object in motion stays in motion
Unless you’ve got some friction
Acted upon by dome other force
Set the controls for an out-of-control course

Chorus

If I hadn’t found gravity
Would I float around freely
Is it just a law new to me
After all It’s so hard to see

I Can’t Breath

I Can’t Breath.mp3

LYRICS
Hard to believe
The air we breath
Where to begin
It’s doing us in
In broad daylight
Like a thief (in the night)
Not breathing in
Is the only relief
Disbelief
There’s no relief

Non-admission
To our emissions
Middle-finger salute
As we pollute
Procrastination
Due to indecision
Conscious mute
The point is moot
Disbelief
There’s no relief

Redirection
Of our emotion
Elixir fixer
A love potion
Time to wake up
And smell the coffin-ly
If there time
It’s just barely
Disbelief
There’s no relief

Golly! Lookie see
There’s a bee flying straight at me
Holy! Helter skelter
Seek shelter from that woodpecker

Where have we been
Nature rules again
