bookmark_borderThe Break Up Song

by Daniel Brouse

Intro:
For those of you
With a broken heart
My heart
Goes out
To you

[crunch]

Even when it’s feeling
Like the pain
Will drive me insane
I’m not left reeling
In a downward spiral
Toward the abyss

You fix
What’s amiss

My knee is headed East
My foot West
Needless to say,
Not the best.
Of course,
It could be much worse
Without you
Inside my head.

Helping fix
What’s a mess
Making the pain
Less

My knee is headed East
My foot West
Obviously,
Not the best.
But…at least,
Not broken hearted.
In fact,
You’ve started,
To heal
From heel
To head

The feeling headed
In a reciprocal
Circle

bookmark_borderJust Is (Of Peace)

by Daniel Brouse
Inspired by Insanity Humanity (Ain’t That the Truth!)
and the Rev. LeRoy Montana

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
Thrown from their thrones

Flesh and bones?
Nothing weathers
That matters

Is it fine
In this time
When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live

Perhaps, not that far away
A day
When what is just
Just is

More than chance
That justice
Someday will sway
The balance

PART II

When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live

When what is just
Just is

Justice
Someday will sway
The balance

How will I weigh?

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
The one that weathers
Thrown from their thrones
The one that matters
Is not me

Without we
I just am
Without you
Too
Two alones

A family
Better we’d be
Better by far
We already are
Together we way
Together we weigh
Together we may
Without fail
The Scale
Just is
Justice

by Honey Bane and Daniel Brouse

Sweet Dreams, Honey.

“You too,
may angels abound,
and be your personal surround sound,
while you dream on their chorus of feathered down souls…
Then rise and reclaim your life as the sun shines,
let the shadows be lifted,
and be blessed ever gifted,
it is always the first day,
of the rest of your life
🙂 nite x”

A good night kiss,
Coming true,
Of a wish,
Peeking through,
The veil,
Unsowing seems.

Sweet dreams,
Come alive,
Relieving strife,
Revealing… what is real.
The first day, we pray,
Of the rest of life,
Setting sail,
For New Edan,
We arrive,
To begin.
— The End

by Daniel Brouse on Thursday, January 6, 2011 at 8:11pm

Once, there were two girls
One on either side
Of understanding

The one to the right
Always in the light
Loves to sing
Brings hope to hearts

The one to the wrong
Hates song
Wallows in shadows
Blackens holes in hearts

What is life worth
What fulfills

For my time on Earth
The thrills
Of the ride
That you provide
Make the future bright

Thank God
For the allowance

Now, is once… going toward the one in the light

There’s blood
In that stone
Will

Paper or stone?

Do they run deep?

I used to have a “friend”. But, canceled “plans” and getting blown off repeatedly have ended that. As I said to a real friend earlier… turn the page, close the chapter, burn the bookmark.

Everyone else was listening to Her

Then, She tells you
There might
Be a chance
That no one else is

Adore

Forever
“That’s what I wanna do”
All right
Alright

Now, our circumstance
Is what it is

Can I depend on you
To get the message through?

Raise The Dead by The Snake Handling Immortal tongue Speakers

Intro:
Bugle starts off playing Taps
While guitarist *taps* the guitar

You’re gonna raise the dead
Playing music like that

She said,
“This song’s ’bout my son”
I meant no disrespect
I heard what you said
“My son is dead”

“At that time…
… of trouble
Your people
Shall be delivered.
And many of those who sleep
In the dust of the earth
Shall awake.”

Raise the dead
May my spirit
Raise the dead
I can hear it
Raise the dead
Not just inside my head

May we shine
The brightness of the firmament
May we shine
The brightness of the fulfillment

She said,
“That’s my girl
I don’t know who you are
But, you better be special”
You said,
“That’s Daniel.”

[spoken word to bugle and Krista tapping… add pagpipe interweave Amazing Grace ]
“Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.”
And many of those who sleep
In the dust of the earth
Shall awake.”
[end spoken word]

Raise the dead
May my spirit
Raise the dead
I can hear it
Raise the dead
Not just inside my head

May we shine
The brightness of the firmament
May we shine
The brightness of the fulfillment
At this time
Your people
Shall be delivered.

A lil’ bird
Flew up to my window
As I was speeding
On my way
Oh, I dunno why
In such a rush
Not stopping
To smell
The roses
On the way

There
And, then
That day
I could see happiness
Will always
Find a way

Fly
Love will fly there
Fly

Feel like ya wanna die
Fly
Will lift you up
Lost hope… wanna sigh?
Fly

You know Roe?
FLY

Sherri Lee
You tempt me
With all that’s good

We could
Sing
We could
Dance
We could do
Most anything

With your power of touch
There ain’t much
Left to chance
You’re not a matter
Of good luck
You’re plain good

When it comes to average
Or extra ordinary
I take the stance —
You’re the latter

(more to come… went from writing this*outside* in my car
to writing *inside* the comfort of the studio as it relates to Sherri Lee being energy out in the world and Sherri Lee making people feel comfortable… warm within)

All the while,
She’ll gladly do it with a smile

“Coming from a place of sensitivity”

Transparency

You can see right through me

Being a medium

Is not very average

Some

If not all living

Can be unforgiving

… even savage.

Speaking in tongues

Ghost whisperer

Shhh! Hear Her?

Ghost whisperer

Screams

From the top of his lungs

Handling snakes

Whatever it takes

To peak

Through the seams

To seek

What it means

Sometimes

You may look like a freak

When you go to speak

To the dead

However

It’s worth hearing

What is said

No one lives forever!

No one lives forever?

It takes

Trying to give away

Every Joule of energy

It takes

Trying to give away

Every jewel of energy

Extemporaneous

Stream of consciousness

The elimination of *me*

So, that I may see

Speaking in tongues

Handling snakes

Whatever it takes

Often times

You may look like a freak

When you go to speak

Exposing one’s soul

Can take a toll

Exposing one’s sole

Can take a toll

A Message Of Harmony
by Daniel Brouse on Tuesday, November 30, 2010 at 1:33pm

.MP3 and More Christmas Music

Something to start the Holiday Spirit.. based on a true story.

This is live from KingArthur.com with a message of harmony:

“Speak up, Son. I can’t hear what you’re saying.”
I said, “I ain’t talking to you.
I was singing songs
I was praying to my Lord.”

My Lord, I’m praying
My Lord, I’m praying
Do you hear what I’m singing?

She said, “Make music.
Where the message is the music.
And, the music is the message.
Make it pretty.
A message of harmony.”

Harmony

“Speak up, Son.
I can’t hear you.”
I said, “I ain’t talking to you.
I ain’t actually talking
I’m really trying
To sing
Sing along”

Warm the spirits
Sing a song
They’ll sing along
The world will hear it

[God says:]
Off your knees
If you please
Raise your eyes
To the skies

Sing to the Lord
Sing out loud
Sing a song
Of harmony
Make it pretty

[I respond:]
What I’m trying to do
Because you asked me to
Gonna sing a song
About harmony
Try to make it pretty
Gonna sing this song of harmony
Gonna try to make it pretty

Help me
Shape history

History shapers
Movers
And, makers

[God]
You still
Have freewill
It’s something you’ve had
You can choose
So, here’s something you can do
Use
Your freewill

One more time
Gonna break it down
Harmony
Need some harmony

One, two, three
Harmony
One, two, three
Harmony

Peace and harmony

And, there’s something
I want you to know
I’m always right here

Who cares if people think
You’re singing to yourself
I’m always right by your side
There is nothing for you to hide
You can always sing out loud
To be heard
Cause we’re making it
For the herd

Sing a pretty song
Gonna sing
Sing a pretty song
Sing a pretty song
All day long

’bout peace, love, understanding
And, harmony

She’s always
Company
Peace, love and harmony
She’s always
Next me
Peace, love and harmony
