Outside

All along the way it was a good time to be there
I had a dream of a testimony
Where they shortened the chapter 
For the morning delight
One night at the djembe
Like talking to God on the telephone
These things turn around 
And the message in rhythm was
My body was innocent!

All across the sky
Sweeping and sweet divide
Always gonna be this high
I love spinning time in the aether with her
Even in her fever

You were searching for Sunday's moon
You already knew the tune
And when the day dawned one July 
It was the only song to get you through

(chorus) 

I love to make a bed of her chest
All you have to do is confess
Laying an hour, I'm telling you now
All you ever did was impress

(chorus) 

I love spinning time in the aether with her
Even in her fever 

Aether

I Have To Go Soon, I'm So Sorry

I had the very good fortune to connect with Andy H aka “Noobly” a few months ago over music that we mutually admired and we agreed to find a future opportunity to collaborate. This is the result. Noobly’s beautifully rich track, propelled by his soaring guitar work, felt like a kind of call to prayer to my ear. I tried to echo this somewhat in singing the bridge. Lyrically, just for kicks I used the Socratic Method to construct the verses (persuasion through Q&A) so that this song’s meaning becomes self-evident and hopefully more of a personal experience for each listener. Thanks for checking it out!

Prideful Pride

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you
Did it happen when all of your friends cut you out
Was your heart set on winning something, but you lost instead
And when you were maimed did the anger in you surge
Can you mark the moment when you became someone else
Is your truth under layers of scar and combat
Are you the new thief, looting joy from everywhere

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

And in the end you’ll be left with nothing
A bright light that’s gone too dim
I have been in a prison of my own before, just like you
Until I let the facade fall
And was set free, free

Are things more difficult now that you are going it alone
And do you leave enough room for both your sadness and your anger
Does that wall keep scary things in, and the invaders out
Are you winning this imaginary war you think you’re fighting

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, ’can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone
