You are born again!!! Love seeing you come to life

***Special thanks to Natasha Head @tashtoo for the title and the conversation that sparked the idea for this song.***

Maybe you think you know me from the words that I let go
lines on a page or my bleeding pen.
Maybe you think you know me you have seen my parlour tricks
listened to my words and heard me sing.

I weave the words together and thread them through a loom
and wrap myself up in them every time I leave this room.
I’m the one who’s bleeding, ripped and raw, telling truths
and you just stand there asking me if I am living proof.

Does it matter if you know the root of each and every line
or where I planted seeds into the earth.
Does it matter that you cannot justify the cost
because I won’t convince you of its worth.

You are lost within the words the way I spin a yarn
caught up in the passion of my tale.
You will fall beneath the spell of the stories that I tell
in a poet’s hand, fiction is for sale.

What do you want from me?
Tell me what can I say?
You took everything
and you gave it all away…
 
I am not for sale

Time does not exist
For you are the perfect storm
in the center of it all

The vacuum
ripping thru space to
birth new skies
in the deep horizon

the never-ending 
sound of you permeates
thru the wall of eternity...

the sacred embodiment
of energy, breathing
on a living planet, is you.

Making a new video and you get to decide which one!!!

  Many of you already know that we put out the new album just a short while ago. Thank you all for supporting it... we've gotten some incredible reviews and wonderfully positive feedback. I really love this album. I love it so much that I couldn't decide on which video to make next. See where I'm going with this yet? We opened with a video of "For Many" and are now considering which piece should follow it up. In all likelihood this will be the last video I produce (They're an increasingly expensive commitment with no monetary return... I do them because I love doing them... just can't afford to keep doing them.) So with all of that out in the open I want to invite my fans to make this decision. Your support has meant so much over the years and I'm often asked why I haven't done a video for this piece or that piece... trust me I would do videos for all of them if I could. How it breaks down is this. We're going to release the album on YouTube and Soundcloud. Two tracks per week with just a static image of Scott Waters wonderful cover art. When all of the pieces are finally online voting will begin on www.shanekoyczan.com.

There'll be a list of the tracks and each visitor will be allowed to cast their vote for the piece they'd most like to see made into a video. Please keep in mind that we don't have access to grants and are not crowd funding this project. Our budget is a modest 8k which I pay for myself. So please don't expect Michael Jackson's Thriller. Another angle to this little tidbit is that we will be accepting submissions from creators who might be interested in making the video. Animators, graphic designers, filmmakers... Pixar... whoever you are... If this is something that interests you and you believe you can work within the budget... it's all yours. Submit some of your work to submissions@shanekoyczan.com; the band and I will go through and decide which style we'd like to see applied to the chosen track. Something you should consider before making any commitments is that the 8k is in Canadian funds, which is currently laughable outside of Canada, so I hope you're up for a challenge. If you do feel like cushioning the meager budget you can make a pledge on my Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/shanekoyczan. This will likely be the first and last project I release via this site but every penny helps. Okay... I've talked your ear off long enough. Hope you've all been making beautiful steps toward your bliss in this new year. Hope to see you all in it.

Cheers, Shane
