Lyrics:

Part 1
ah-ohm, ah-ohm, ah-ohm
is this love

let the veils of illusion drift away
a mirage floats above reality

do we know who we are
do we know who we are

be kind, and love yourself
be kind, and love the world

ah__, ah__, ah__
life cannot be plumbed
joy is yours, ah__ is yours

is this a love song
is this a love song
is this a love song

Part 2
you, me, we
are one together, together, together

ah__, ah__, ah__, ah__

you me we
me we you
we you me
together

we can make the future
we all want beautiful

la la la la la la la la

here we are
join with us
let’s all step 
into joy
cultivate the garden in your mind
we’ll make it bloom
we’ll make, we’ll make it, bloom

Part 3
floods, flames, drought, extinctions
we’ll soon be Venus unless we change
killing heat, no other choice
all gone, gone

ah__

will we lose this love, love
ah__ 
can we let this go on
third stone will be dead, dead
third stone

Part 4
is the sky blue
the grass green
does the rain fall
the wind blow
do you believe
that any of this is true
is this a love song, love
do you think so, you
is this
think I think so, hah

ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

Mt. Tam to Bolinas

Mt. Tam To Bolinas

The A/C’s broken and even if it worked, if I had any, the smoke’s too thick to use it and there is no air-purifier to be had within 300 miles. Swelter baby… are your eyes burning yet? Feel like I’m slatting on a flat sea in the doldrums and stuck on this tiny quarantine boat. My mind is playing tricks… Hey, you wannna take a dip t' cool a bit? jump in... groove... feel it… groove... let it soak in and take you away… click it

The 1:42

Ashcans of the Mind is a synergistically exploding musical chameleon, likely to pick up the heavy funk of James Brown, with eclectic deep house restraint, the soaring sonic beauty of Puccini, abstract minimalism, evoking lush introspective thoughts, blunt and caustic social and political commentary in harsh arid songscapes, dream-like reveries, teasing psychedelic internal alternate worlds, creating new mind-expanding soundscapes.

Leandra Ramm brings life to these with her beautiful and amazingly flexible singing. James Fredrickson composes the songscapes and is a synthesizer wizard and multi-instrumentalist.

I could blather b*l*u*e*s*l*e*w all day, and you might enjoy it… but seriously, wouldn’t you rather indulge in the soundscapes offered for your mind and revel in the possibilities and creation of YOUR beautiful day? (Hint: click the “play” button ;-)  :-0h!
