LYRICS
I’ve seen
A severe serene scene
One void of mean
Default — self-wealth

Like a bug screen filtered dream
A severe serene scene seen

I’ve seen
A severe serene scene
Completely come clean
Spiritually stealth

Singular multitudes
Splendid attitudes
Singular multitudes
Singing songs on high
The answer to, “Why?”

LYRICS
Take a look over there
Take a listen here
With a sound crystal clear
Among friends held dear

Dance is natural
It’ll make you bop and sock-hop
It’ll make you twirl
Music is magical
It’ll make you stop the stop
And, start to feel special

It’ll become your favorite spot
Make you feel comfortable being hot
When you play a song you’re beautiful
When you dance along your unbelievable
Let it be told — sold on out-of-this-world
Why not?

LYRICS
Come on back out, sunshine
Like I knew you would
I’m so glad you could
Happiness upon me… I feel fine
There’s no need to fear
We’re in the clear
With our only care — care
On our way there
It’s about time
And, we probably should
Thank the Lord. We’re never board
We’re in the clear
The light shines near
In fact, we’re intact
The light shines upon
So, come on!

LYRICS
The Hunter’s Moon hovers on the horizon

Once the setting sun is done
It will be a full moon risin’

The folklore of the sky
Trying to answer, “why?”
The folklore of the sky
Understanding the part that is I

The nocturnal prey play after day
The Hunter’s moon shinning like noon
Gives light to the motion of flight

Let go. Whish. (The string of the bow)

Good night!

Hunter’s Moon.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG

The Hunter’s Moon is so named because plenty of moonlight is ideal for hunters shooting migrating birds in Northern Europe. The name is also said to have been used by Native Americans as they tracked and killed their prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the winter ahead. The Hunter’s Moon and Harvest Moon are not brighter, smaller or yellower than during other times of the year, but all full moons have their own special characteristics (based primarily on the whereabouts of the ecliptic in the sky at the time of year that they are visible.) The full moons of September, October and November, as seen from the northern hemisphere (which correspond to the full moons of March, April and May as seen from the southern hemisphere) are well known in the folklore of the sky.

LYRICS
The tricks with this mix
Involve staying on course
You know? When visibility is low
Trying to avoid blunt force

To hell with hail
that falls to the ground
We’ll sustain the freezing rain
And, figure a work around

Damn the don’t knows
Full speed in the head

The fix for this mix
Involves getting out from betwixt
From above… snow… ice below

LYRICS

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To beat the egg

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

Let’s go to the otherside

Leaving the irrational behind

Let’s ride the train of thought

To the otherside

A place that’s logical we’ll find

From that compassion will result

On the rightside

Why did Jack and Jill go up the hill?

To chuck your muck

Let’s fetch a wail of laughter

And, live happily everafter

If you fell down and broke your crown

Let’s leave the irrational behind

Leaving the irrational behind

Let’s ride the train of thought

To the otherside

A place that’s logical we’ll find

From that compassion will result

On the otherside

LYRICS
Give praise for the moonshine
Pass on the sun’s rays (raise)
Give praise for the nighttime

Reflections from afar
Shedding light from a star
Phenomenon bizarre
Traveling as both wave and particles

Give praise for the sunshine
Bounce off the moon’s backside
Making the full moon shine fine
Giving rise to the ocean’s tide

Reflections from afar
Shedding light from a star
Phenomenon bizarre
Bringing a lifetime of spectacles

Give praise the stars do shine
Travel through vast space
To grace the crisp wintertime
Shinning down on the human race

Reflections from afar
Shedding light from a star
Phenomenon bizarre
Traveling as both particles and wave
Causing us to howl and crave
… none too soon to howl at the moon

LYRICS
As you go out in the big wild world
My thoughts are with you
As you grow from young through old
My thoughts are with you

If Ideas are too complex… if ideas do perplex
My thoughts are with you
If you feel as though you’re living under a hex
My thoughts are with you

I’d be more than willing to lend my brain
I’d be more than happy to help explain
It might even be fun… and entertain
Or, if we’re lucky… benefit humanity a bit

Whether a whale under slaughter
Or, parent of dead daughter
Whether deaf in a life of silence
Or, victim of domestic violence
My thoughts are with you

I wish I could shop until I drop
Alas, there’s nothing I can do
I get the shopping blues

Wish I could get that “best price” pop
Get a rush like a bunny… hop, hop, hop
Alas, there’s nothing I can do
I get the shopping blues

No pause to contemplate the (environmental) flop
My Christmas wish — stop, stop, stop

Is there nothing I can do to persuade you
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!

You might turn off a light
Helping clear clutter from sight
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!

You might put up a fight
To when it comes to doing what’s right
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!

Though trite… turn off a light
Helping clear-up a blight
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!

Depend upon us. Stupendous!

Very thankful you gave us the day
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again
Thankful to make it all this way
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again

An opportunity of a lifetime
A gift of time that I can call mine

Quite thankful for the day and the night
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again
Thankful for the might of your light
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again

An experience of a lifetime
An existence that’s more than fine

What do you think
Would you rather be on the brink
Of being there?

Life’s sojourn just keeps getting better
Wouldn’t you rather…
Then being there?

Once life’s journey is complete
Exactly how many feet deep
Do you want buried
I mean what’s your hurry?

Filling up every millisecond
Stuff it full, I’d reckon
To the brink, Id’ think
So your legend is knowledge
