It is more difficult to change what's going around us than to make changes within ourselves. Let's start with the easier of the two?

Well we have been working on this little number for a while!  
I sent a rough, very basic track to Finn last summer, just some chords really.  @finn_eces weaved his magic, wrote the lyrics, and a song within a song, and sent back this amazing folk-rock opera.  
We spent some time, shooting it back and forth, grappling with it's size, but we finally realised it needed to get bigger or go home.  So we turned to @dairv-dubbleyew and he helped rev it up all the way to 11!!

Voyage

We travel alone in all the important times that we grow. We have our tribe, our friends, our family, to help us along the way. But it becomes so quiet and still when we need to truly grow. Growth and fear and grappling with the unknown in this world and in our next travels, feels highly volatile…the perplexing instability of the human life form that is neither particle nor wave, but a figment of a fraction of our time spent in this human life form. 

I cannot settle my spirit. It had known settlement and comfort, but that illusion dulled my senses, my inner thoughts and knowings. And although it brought me great pleasure and happiness for the time it was present, deep down I always grapple with our humanity and our purpose as a species…time is of no essence…the spirit lives in its own time and space.

So what am I describing in this music? What have I written?  I know exactly what I have sketched out. I’ve sketched out our infinite search for when our spirit will find a home…whether it’s beside a lake, in the eyes reflecting back at us, in the stars, in the wind whipping through our hair, in the smell of the fire, in the touch of a loved one or in the sounds of a song…our spirit dances and soars and takes infinite shapes as we journey and grow…

I write something of this journey…

Touching The Infinite

曼荼羅。

嗚呼　空　深く
澄渡っている
心の中　かき乱していく
円の中心で　哀に染まりゆく
こんな情景に　何の意味がある

日々の葛藤に　絡みついている
煩悩の数に　愛を数えては
108の傷がついていく
目を背けては　0

生きていく事
何度繰り返す　連鎖は輪廻
息を吸う事
飼い殺された　本能は今

分かれた枝の先に　実を付けた
とても小さな　縁に　何を見る
渦巻く　黒の　茹だる感情を
丸で囲ったら　0

生きていく事
何度繰り返す　連鎖は輪廻
息を吸う事
飼い殺された　本能は今
生きていく事
0の数だけ　生まれた輪廻
息を吸う事
邂逅された　本能を今

いつかは芽吹く　時が来るでしょう
そんな言葉から　花を咲かせては
心の中に　雨が降っている
吐き出せたなら　0

生きていく事
繰り返される　涙の中で
息を吸う事
飼い殺された　本能に今
生きていく事
0の数だけ　生まれる答え
息を吸う事
邂逅された　本能に今　
生きていく事
気付いた時に　幕は下りる
息を吸う事
解凍された　本能に今
