ABOUT THE SONG

The new release of the day, “Face Down in the Dirt,” is a song of thanksgiving—an ode to the moment you realize just how deeply you love Mother Nature and the astonishing gift of being alive. Built around an acoustic rhythm guitar with piano, organ, and layered synthesizers, the track drifts between humility, humor, and heartfelt devotion.

The lyrics tell the story with a playful kind of reverence.
It opens with a confession:
“Hey! Mother Nature / Didn’t mean to flirt…”
but the narrator quickly admits where that flirtation leads—
“Here I lay… face down in the dirt.”
Rather than defeat, it’s a moment of awakening.

The recurring bridge, “Slipped (tripped) / Fell in love,” captures the accidental, irresistible pull toward the natural world—how easily we forget our place until we stumble right into it. Each repetition deepens the realization: love found not in triumph, but in humility.

By the end, the song leans fully into that surrender.
“Head over heels / Know how I fell / Came the day / We both lay / Face down in the dirt.”
It’s gratitude expressed through grounding—literally—recognizing that connection to the earth is both humbling and healing.

“Face Down in the Dirt” is a thanksgiving anthem for anyone who has ever been knocked down by life only to discover, in the soil and silence, something worth loving even more.

Your whiskers
(When pressed to flesh)

(Will blood be fresh)

(Rubs me the wrong way)

[Chorus]
Abrasive substance

[Bridge]

[Outro]
(Avoid)
Abrasive substances
(Rather float away)
Abuse of existence
(Is not my foray)
Cherish the moment
(Minute by minute)

ABOUT THE SONG

The new release of the day, “Abrasive Substance,” is a song about thanks and giving—and the choice each of us faces in how we move through the world. Do you spend your life as an abrasive substance, grinding down everyone and everything you touch? Or do you choose to be a force that helps set freewill free?

Built on a gritty electric-guitar rhythm riff and grounded by earthy organ and keyboard layers, the track explores the tension between destructive habits and intentional, meaningful living.

The lyrics paint the contrast clearly:

  • “Sand in my sheets / Blood on the streets” evokes irritation turning into violence—how small frictions escalate when we let bitterness rule.

  • The refrain “Abrasive substance / Rubs me the wrong way” reflects how corrosive attitudes erode not only others but ourselves, leading to the “abuse of existence” and the slow decay of what makes life worth living.

  • The bridge shifts the tone: a personal declaration of liberation. “As for me… my destiny… free / Freewill now until… I fly” signals a conscious refusal to live in anger, choosing instead perseverance, openness, and agency.

By the outro, the message crystallizes: avoid abrasive ways of being, rise above the friction, and cherish each moment, minute by minute.

“Abrasive Substance” is ultimately a song about choosing gratitude over grievance—and remembering that freedom begins inside.

[Intro]
Where’s Joy?
(You’re all alone)
Kill joy…
(Musta gone home)

[Verse 1]
Have you seen Hope
(She’s been outta scope)
Haven’t seen her days
(Missed in so many ways)

[Chorus]
And where is Joy?
(We’re left all alone)
It’s time we employ
(A love zone prone)

[Bridge]
To happiness
(… but, I digress)

[Verse 2]
Have you seen Faith
(She’s nowhere to be seen)
Was she lost to scathe
(A dream gone obscene)

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
To happiness
(… but, I digress)
There is clarity
(In charity)

[Outro]
So, about the above —
(Love)
Love above
(Everything)
If you were still wondering….
(Love, love, love)

ABOUT THE SONG
The new release of the day, “Musta,” was inspired by three sisters from my childhood — Faith, Hope, and Charity — and by the season of love that seems to stir their names back into memory. The song was created extemporaneously, unfolding in real time, and built around an acoustic rhythm guitar and piano interplay wrapped in layers of strings and other textures.

Like the music itself, the lyrics wander through the emotional landscape of those virtues we lose, search for, and sometimes rediscover. “Musta” asks where Joy, Hope, and Faith have gone, and whether Charity — love in its purest form — might still bring clarity. The piece ultimately circles back to the simplest conclusion: above everything else, love remains the constant.

ABOUT THE SONG: when first is last, and last is first the meek shall inherit the earth
The phrase combines two related concepts from Jesus’ teachings: “the last will be first, and the first last” from the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, and “the meek shall inherit the earth” from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:5). Both concepts refer to a reversal of worldly values, suggesting that the humble and meek will be exalted in God’s kingdom, while those who are proud and powerful in this world will be humbled.

ABOUT THE SONG
The Wise Men, or Magi, are mentioned in the Bible as coming from “the East,” but their precise origin is not specified and is a subject of scholarly debate. While some sources suggest Persia (modern-day Iran), others argue for regions in Arabia (like Sheba, modern-day Yemen or Jordan) or even Babylon. The tradition of assigning specific names (Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar) and distinct homelands (Persia, India, and Arabia) is a later development, not found in the biblical account.

Possible Origins
  • Persia:
    A strong possibility, as the term “magi” was associated with the Zoroastrian priestly caste of Persia, who were astrologers. 
  • Arabia (e.g., Sheba):
    The nature of their gifts (gold, frankincense, and myrrh) suggests a connection to Arabia, which was a major source of these commodities. Old Testament prophecies also refer to kings coming from Arabian kingdoms. 

  • Babylon:
    The biblical story of Daniel, who was a wise man from Babylon, could explain why wise men from that region might be familiar with the prophecy of the Messiah’s coming.
