LYRICS
Is this what I think it is
This is is
Before it turns to was
Because… then, this is will be was
So all the while I’ll
I’ll cherish this is
Until I perish, I’ll
Live in this is
Freewill will take what will be
And, right in front of me
Turn it into is
This is
I hear
Somehow, it becomes the here and now
Before this is becomes was
This is is going to be ours

LYRICS
What’s ailing you
Is it the alien eating away
From inside of you
Day by day by day by day

Is that right?
A parasite that might
Consume all of you
Might start with your heart,
Then, even your brain, too

You swallowed a larva and it started to grow
Before you know, a giant worm
Doing the alien squirm

Alien alien eating you from the inside
From your guts through your hide
Is that what’s ailing you
Better ask the doctor what to do

bookmark_borderSound at the Speed of Sound

LYRICS
“However, if you travel at the speed of sound in the opposite direction of the sound coming towards you, the sound will never get to you.”

Am I getting through?

Catch that sound
Wonder wanders… what sound at the speed of sound sounds like
Can sound be found at the speed of sound?
Will it slip right through my ears
Deaf to the music among the fears
Will the sound barrier be a dyke
Holding down the sound
Will pop music be unpopular
Because my sound couldn’t get that far?
Sound in need of some doppler
What can I do to get that sound to you
Catch the sound
And, send it back ’round to you
Step on the pedal for the ricochet echo effect
Onto all let the sound shower project
Resume with a sonic boom

Sound at the Speed of Sound.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Bm Cm Bm Am Bm

Dubstep

A song about making music at the speed of sound. What would it sound like if you were going the speed of sound and started playing music? “If you travel at the speed of sound directly at a sound, everything will be exactly one octave higher; however, if you travel at the speed of sound in the opposite direction of the sound coming towards you, the sound will never get to you.”

How the doppler will effect your sound:

alt text

Where: (f) is the observed frequency (what you hear), (f0) is the emitted frequency (what the original sound is), (V) is the velocity of waves in the medium (343 in this case), and (Vr) is the velocity of the receiver relative to the medium; positive if the receiver (audience) is moving towards the source.

LYRICS
Ping
Try a sonic ping
Sing
Listen if anyone bounces back at you
See if their ping comes into view
Similar to sonar…
Know how far… you can go
Activate energy in life-storage
See the energy
A rainbow of humanity collage
Touch them with your ping
Touch them when you sing
Send a signal to one and all
Spread the ping and sprawl
Singing. Pinging. Life-stored energy light up the world.
Ping singing unfurled
Wail like a whale… whale-like wail
May your ping ring true for you
Light up the world
Sail unfurled
Sail wail
Sing, “ping. ping. ping.”

Ping.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Cm F

Dubstep

A song about giving out energy by making music… having it touch others and activate their energy… then feeling it return. The humpback whale seems like one of the best examples:

The word “song” is used to describe the pattern of regular and predictable sounds made by some species of whales, notably the humpback whale. This is included with or in comparison with music, and male humpback whales have been described as “inveterate composers” of songs that are “‘strikingly similar’ to human musical traditions”

A humpback whale song can travel for hundreds of miles. Even if I use huge amplifiers, I can’t even seem to break a mile.

Rum in eggnog

Will we ever learn
Or just keep spinning

1. Some things you only miss
When they’re gone
If you hadn’t had that kiss
You couldn’t have acted upon
Thank God we know
Thank God we miss
Better, still
Thank God for freewill
2. Some things you only miss
When they’re gone
Now let us go
And get to know bliss
So we know how to miss bliss
Only Miss Bliss
3. Some things you only miss
When they’re gone
Before it’s all amiss
Let your dreams spawn
Some things you only miss
When they’re gone
The blessed Only Miss Bliss
May you blessed only to miss bliss
Blessed to Only Miss Bliss

LYRIC
Sorry, I apologize. I didn’t mean to be ignorant… arrogant
I just thought it redundant — indigenous people
I mean I thought
I thought we were the people
No, wait… I mean
I thought we are the people?

We are the people

I don’t know if you found it
But, I found it abundant in being redundant

Indigenous people
I thought we were all people
And, indigenous all of us
Why create some sort-a fuss
Make people scream and cuss
Then add the S
Indigenous peoples
Is that racist by definition?
Guess you got me there
I realize once I classify people into peoples
That’s some sort-of racist declaration
And, that’s not what I suggest
I suggest we be less racist
’cause we are the people

We are the people

This is where you come in
The people

One, two… that’s at least me and you

Is at odds
With the wrath of the People(s)

Dying won’t help ya and prayin’ won’t do ya know good
Ain’t gonna find shelter under nooooo steeple
Seek though the sheep may
Nay, people will not find shelter under the steeple

Moment is ripe on the vine to forget about mine
And, do what I should.. what I could… beyond wondering “what would”

Do you find it odd
God’s at odds?
The wrath of God
God’s at odds
With the wrath of the Peoples
Best not seek refuge under Her steeple(s)

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Bb/Dm9

131 BPM / Pop Ballad

Inspired by Columbus Day and the banter of Indigenous Peoples Day.

“The noun people has both a PLURAL sense and a SINGULAR sense. In the PLURAL sense, people is used as the plural of person very frequently. It is a plural count noun and takes a plural verb. It never has an -s ending; it is already plural.”… Isn’t just saying Indigenous Peoples ridiculous?

Did you see that?
It went by just like that
Now, I can’t see where it’s at
Looking around and around and around
But, it can’t be found

Woah, did you see that
It went by just like that
Now, I can’t see where it’s at
All the while,
Trying to turn my head round and round and round
Like an owl
And, I can’t see where it’s at

Did you see that
It went by just like that
Now, I don’t know where it’s at
It went by
It went by… bye-bye
With a heavy sigh
It went by just like that
Did you see that
It went by just like that
Now, I don’t know where it’s at
Keep looking around and around and around
I keep looking ’round

Where all this indecision
Resulted in our collision
Then, the vision

Envision a humane human decision

Being kind… giving sight to the blind

LYRICS
Would you like to see a show?
Do you know
If there is still
Something that will thrill?

For one thin dime… one tenth of a dollar
You’ll have the chance to holler
Something eye-popping and jaw-dropping
You’ll have the chance to holler
You’ll be on your feet just like that
Turned acrobat from seeing and acrobat like that
You’ll be on your feet and holler
“eye-popping and jaw-dropping”
Like not having to eat your meat to have your pudding

If you’re skeptical about the spectacle
I guarantee there’s a guarantee
We’re happy to offer double or nothing
You can go in for free, but if it’s worth seeing
You’ll give double the money to me
Believe me… it’s well worthwhile to see
Check it our for a while
You’ll be be adorning a mile wide smile

After all, one day we all have our curtain call

Flying with your eyes closed

Ain’t it worth trying
Adoring embracing
At least caring about trying loving

LYRICS
With all this hemming and hawing
We’re going to go into shock… be awing
Like a present participle
Realizing at present… we are a participant… in principle
Awing
Why are we always dabbling in hemming and hawing
Procrastination of participation in the earthling nation
Stagnation of our evolution in a civil civilization
Time for some jet propulsion in our motivation toward realization
This ain’t rocket science
This is defiance of our alliance with reliance
Enough hemming and hawing
The mesmerized awing is stalling
Not surprised…
Time for some jet propulsion in our motivation toward realization
