The lyrics seem to be about my general aversion toward the momentous amount of shitty events that took place in 2020.  Perhaps a psychoanalyst would see even more in them. The lyrics are a bit esoteric.  My sub-conscious was definitely spewing on this one.  I kneaded the words and phrases against the texture and flow of the driving pulse of the  musical content. What emerged is something special. A real rocker!  The song slowly builds, creating an incredible sonic vibe with many subtle aural sweet spots.

Lyrics
Chugging down the Qi
by David Husted

V1
Stained glass windows broken
The shit upon, plain folk, discarded and forgotten 
 The sea of swelling slogans
 And sky that always follows the long sleep of exhausted
Chugging down the Qi, waking underneath a park bench
Manhattan calves, a butterfly laughs at a snowflake

Ch 
Now where would you have me go?
And who is this I'm talking to?
Let's erase,  2020s face,
 this year's a disgrace I think I'm better off  without you          

{Verse bare}

Ch
Now where would you have me go?
And who is this I'm talking to?
Let's erase,  2020s face,
 this year's a disgrace I think I'm better off  without you        
{instr}

Bridge

V3
Lonely bird you make me smile
So smeared across the day I think I'm bending in straight spirals 

Come on mon, mop the ground
Out beyond the hobbit hill, I can prove the Earth is round

Ch
Now where would you have me go?
And who is this I'm talking to?
Let's erase,  2020s face,
 this year's a disgrace I think I'm better off  without you        
{instr}

Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the rocks sound library used to compose this piece.

Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, or emotions to non-human entities or objects. It is considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology. Anthropomorphism is a common way humans perceive and interact with the world around them.

The Earth is made of rock, from the tallest mountains to the floor of the deepest ocean. Thousands of different types of rocks and minerals have been found on Earth. Most rocks at the Earth's surface are formed from only eight elements (oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium), but these elements are combined in a number of ways to make rocks that are very different.  Rocks are continually changing. Wind and water wear them down and carry bits of rock away; the tiny particles accumulate in a lake or ocean and harden into rock again. The oldest rock that has ever been found is more than 3.9 billion years old.

Humanity has made use of rocks since the earliest humans. This early period, called the Stone Age, saw the development of many stone tools. Stone was then used as a major component in the construction of buildings and early infrastructure. 

Rocks are commonly divided into three major classes according to the processes that resulted in their formation. These classes are (1) igneous rocks, which have solidified from molten material called magma; (2) sedimentary rocks, those consisting of fragments derived from preexisting rocks or of materials precipitated from solutions; and (3) metamorphic rocks, which have been derived from either igneous or sedimentary rocks under conditions that caused changes in mineralogical composition, texture, and internal structure.

^v^  HIGH ON A MOUNTAIN  ^v^
---------------------------------------------

Hey Babe!  What brings you here when so many seasons have gone & disappeared?
Thousands of suns & moons have drifted out of touch!
So are you gonna tell me now, we've really changed that much?

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly
When the whole wide world was wondrous
Can we hold on to that time?
We were high upon a mountain and we thought that we could fly!

We all have a story and we've found our way
But are we still the people that we once were, today?
So tell me, tell me now - what, what do you see?
Do you see the angel you always saw in me?!

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!
When the whole wide world was wondrous
Can we hold on to that time?
We were high up on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!

Pretty boy you've got silver hues now!
Distinguished eyes distinguish truth...
Did your wings grow wide?
Did you fly again?
Did you touch the sky - did your dreams transcend?

What's your poison Babe? What have I missed?
Do you set the stage to show your hand or will we reminisce?

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!
When the whole wide world was wondrous - can we hold on to that time?

High On A Mountain

Unlikely Story

This is my second collab with @mralchemy , I love his sound and style, check out his cool productions and thought inspiring hip hop from Australia if you haven't had the chance yet. He and his son both worked on this one with me, I think it turned out great!

At the Root of It All - w/ Mr. Alchemy

When that title slipped into my mind it was all go and the early verse work felt bluesy with certainly blue notes to sing. The chorus wrote itself around the title with jazz chords. Changing key to the variation was natural enough but quite a long journey back to the verse again.

Art in her Bones

Out on the left - she’s made it her home
Some think she’s weird – and likely getting’ stoned alone
But I’m on the hook - just reel me in
It’s the art in her bones - that makes her what she seems to be
The art in her bones - makes a thrill inside of me 

Sometimes at night- she wakes from a dream
She runs to her paint – got to liberate that scene
Then after an hour - she’s layin’ back down
It’s the art in her bones . . .

She don’t deal with accounts and rates and supermarkets
She’s driftin’ through hazy lanes and blocks of colour
And something someone said three nights ago
She put that friend in embargo
Gotta work it through on canvas - then they’ll thaw in a tryst

They’ll work it out – those ladies of rhyme
They just need the moon – to tell them when the time is right
And me I can wait – for that special night

When she gives she’s layin over us 
Starlight curves across her body real – we’re playin’ seals
Lazy floppy as the sunlight grows
We talk of us as forever – and after that still together
Neath the door’s a gentle zephyr

Hey let us rise – it’s quarter to one
In the café - love our whacky talkie fun
The way she sees things – my soul it just sings
