Back To The Front

Inspired by Allan Carr's "Easy Way To Stop Smoking"

So this song is about well.. whatever you want it to be about. Take something like quitting smoking for instance - do not listen to that demon inside.

If someone such as yourself or someone you know may be thinking of doing something stupid to themselves or others, simply don't do it. We all have our own story and there is always a way forward. People move on with their lives, they have to - With or without you. Your time here is precious, Use it to spread some positivity to your neighbours. Despite whatever the voices in your head tell you to do, There is ALWAYS someone who really does care. I fuckin' care!

The bullet ends at me.

Edit 2022:  Roughly 4 years since giving up cigarettes.
Edit 2023: Still haven't smoked a cigarette.

...Then There's The Demon Inside

Part 2 or part 1 (either or) of Fell-Aye, She.. Ohm?

We have done this to ourselves and mother nature is all too ready.

There's sulfur - it's obvious. It's over. Dead skies.

Fell-Aye, She... Ohm? (Part 2 - Dead Scars)

Part 1 or 2 (does not matter)of Fell-Aye, She Ohm?

What has our world has become? Prepare for nuclear war, hate for no reason, widespread hunger, oppression, disillusion, larger gaps of inequality and viruses of "unknown" origin.. Much of the same really, just intensified.. Unless, somehow, we build from our mistakes and change the ways we live.

Lyrics:

Abort it, Abort it,
Abort it, Abort-bort it
Waste with us
Abort it, Abort-bort it
They bought it

It took just about two weeks
To end the world
God-dammit
They lied to us
They lied to us
God dammit
Oh-whoa whoa
Now.. man..

I am the desert eye
Now watch and wait
Don't wanna see them
Dammit all

Abort it, abort it, abort-bort it
Abort it, abort it, abort it

(Whistling sound as bomb hits near the end)

Desert eye
Desert eye

Fell-Aye, She... Ohm? (Part 1)

Words:

Suffering, no longer
Sitting in the corner
Alone
No longer

You'll be the scapegoat
He's Escapegoat
You're the scapegoat
Escapegoat
Blood!

No longer 
The Scapegoat
Escapegoat
Embargo

He's the escapegoat
Escapegoat, 
When it all goes wrong
Scapegoat

He's got a big boat
He's no scapegoat
He's got a big boat
He's the escapegoat

Heed or plead
Heed or plead

You're gonna wait
No longer
Not gonna wait
For no stranger

When it all goes south
When it doesn't work out
You're all fucked now
And you'll all need help

WAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Let me, let go, let go
When we all wake up
When we all wake up
When we all wake up
When we all wake up

Don't call the escapegoat
He had a big boat
Long gone now
No longer

I'm your escapegoat?
You're my scapegoat?
Heed or plead
Heed or plead

Escapegoat

Lyrics:

I said empty your mind
Be formless, shapeless
Like water
See what I did there
I said empty your mind
Be formless, shapeless
Like water

You put water into a cup
It becomes the cup
You put water into a bottle
It becomes the bottle
You put water into a teapot
It becomes the teapot

The power can flow
The power can crash
Be water, my friend

I said empty your mind
Be formless, shapeless
Like water
I said empty your mind
Be formless, shapeless
Like water
I said empty your mind
Like water

What are you waiting for
I said empty your mind
Teapot, teapot, teapot
I said empty your mind
Be formless
You put water into a bottle
It becomes the cup
You put water into a cup
It becomes the bottle
Be water, my friend

Teapot, teapot, teapot
I said empty your mind
Be formless
Teapot, teapot, teapot
I said empty your mind
Be formless

Crash, crash, crash
Become the teapot, teapot, teapot
You put water into a bottle
It becomes the cup
You put water into a cup
It becomes the bottle
What are you waiting for
Become the water

I said empty your mind
Crash
I said empty your mind
Be formless, shapeless
Like water
I said empty your mind
Be formless, shapeless
Like water

Be Water, My Friend (Feat. Bruce Lee)

There is a deeply fascinating Theory of Consciousness by Physicist Sir Roger Penrose and Anesthesiologist Dr. Stuart Hameroff which continues to gain momentum and it’s called ORCH OR, meaning - Orchestrated Objective Reduction.  It also continues to prove itself out experimentally.

These deep thinkers and the creative process they describe, inspire me!  :)

For those whose interest has been piqued, Orchestrated Objective Reduction or ORCH OR, is a biological philosophy of mind which postulates that Consciousness originates at the Quantum level Inside neurons, rather than the conventional view that it is a product of connections between neurons. The mechanism is held to be a quantum process called lobjective reduction that is orchestrated by cellular structures called Microtubules. It is proposed that the theory may answer the hard problem of consciousness and provide a mechanism for free will.[1] 

The hypothesis was first put forward in the early 1990s by theoretical physicist Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist and psychologist Stuart Hameroff. The hypothesis combines approaches from molecular biology, neuroscience, pharmacology, philosophy, quantum information theory, and quantum gravity.[2][3]

While mainstream theories assert that consciousness emerges as the complexity of the computations performed by cerebral neurons increases,[4][5] Orch OR posits that consciousness is based on non-computable quantum processing performed by qubits formed collectively on cellular microtubules, a process significantly amplified in the neurons.[6] The qubits are based on oscillating dipoles forming superposed resonance rings in helical pathways throughout lattices of microtubules. The oscillations are either electric, due to charge separation from London forces, or magnetic, due to electron spin—and possibly also due to nuclear spins (that can remain isolated for longer periods) that occur in gigahertz, megahertz and kilohertz frequency ranges.

But until i simplify this a bunch, inJOY the music, like and re-post it, then check this out @

Cheers, and Be Well, my friends.  :)

Ad meliora  is Latin for "towards better things".

Ad Meliora

Story of Life

I was born on a Saturday.
I got my name from my Dad.
“Keep it between the lines” he used to say.
Not one memory of him is bad.

I was a boy who could never sit still.
Had no focus and had no plans.
I was a poser with no social skills.
Babe but I did the best that I can.

This is another story of life.

Grew 2 feet the year I turned fourteen.
Scrawny and face like the moon.
Too long, too lean trying hard to be seen.
I sure wasn't calling no tune.

Out there alone had to learn how to fight.
Survival became my whole day.
Bullies and darkness they turned out my light.
Any happiness faded away.

Desperate days filled with hate.
Walking too close to the edge.
God please help me before its too late.
Get me the Hell off this ledge.

Tragedy, hate and pain
I felt them cut like a knife
Tragedy, hate and pain

Ain't that the story of life?

Thank God I found her. Like magic was saved.
That tunnel had come to an end.
My full measure I reluctantly gave.
A cost almost too great to spend.

She brought me there to a place I could change
and no one should live as I did.
Love is a cure that we all can exchange
so that hate like a virus we'll rid.

Very soon that day will come.
I vow that I'll make a stand.
Start with one and we'll soon be some.
I see a future that's grand!

This was another story of life.
