Lyrics:
Cruising down the alley way, escaping from the town
Brushing off the cob webs and heading westward bound

Before the attraction of constant interaction
Desperation leads you
To margin all rations
Remembering to cash in
The 39 lashes
The 39 lashes

They placed you on the ground, and cursed at the crown
Had patience for the multitude and all that they had found. 
There really was no option, time to fold the cards down
Blazing in the hot sun the time was not too far
Getting ready for a trip to that lonely Black Star. 
Blazing in the hot sun the time was not too far
Getting ready for a trip to that lonely Black Star …..yeahhh

She parked to the side of the road
And took the call inside
Pressed a random text that knew the call -    had been cut short. 
Maybe it was time before and time before that
Maybe it had ran its course like a useless old map             …… 
Stopped from the running for/ got so tired and so sore
Manning up the Manchild
Manning up the Manchild
Stopped from the running for/ got so tired and so sore
Manning up the Manchild
Manning up the Manchild 

Blazing in the hot sun the time was not too far
Getting ready for a trip to that lonely Black Star. 
Blazing in the hot sun the time was not too far

Cautious Walking

Hope everyone has a kick ass New Year full of hope joy and peace.

Why are you leaving so soon
Haven’t you had a good time too?
So why did-you -refuse?

Heading down- the wrong way trail
Given up the smokes to the garbage pail
That hammered- in the last nail

Breathing out like we do
You’d think we’d care- more about you
admiring the way you grew

Everybody calls when they’re having trouble
Venus flytrap/stuck in molasses
Cautious walking
Cautious walking

Peeking around the corner in fear
Morning dew like a mourning tear
Cautious walking
Cautious Walking

Never been down to the sacred ground
Gearing up now for the weight in pounds
Of souls and cheers
Of souls and cheers
Holding  hands with you 
My lovely dear
My lovely dear

We were   bothering the rain gods
Born alive in sprouting pods
Posing in a wedding gown
Remembering our small town
Basil was up and growing
Toddlers were nurturing
And taking in and learning
 Like a vacuous sponge
Like a waterspout of love

Of souls and cheers
Of souls and cheers
Holding hands with you 
My lovely dear
My lovely dear

Anything more than what you can give?
Could have been more but you just can't share
Could have been more but you just can't feel but sad.

Walk Away

Sending out the greatest strength to our friends of Ukraine.  Continue to share the faith that Democracy and freedom will prevail.  We are with YOU.  And special thoughts to our exceptional Ukranian SC friend and master composer and keyboard player Syntalita, who has inspired so many for years with her impeccable performances and creativity:  https://soundcloud.com/syntaleta

So happy to finally get to release this piece of music. It's written as a cello quartet and I got in touch with the french cello player Roxane Genot to record it. I must say that the result is stunningly beautiful. Thank you Roxane for this great collaboration!

The world is completely absorbed by me, it enters into me, is assimilated to me. Thus I become one with the universe.
