We all know someone who has experienced a situation where they adore another person but that person is always looking elsewhere for someone they think is better.  So I wrote this song to let people know that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Sometimes, we just need to open our eyes to find that what we are looking for is right around the corner.

Meet Me Anywhere

You’ve been looking everywhere but here
For someone who’s always ever near
I like you for just the way you are
You don’t need to look so very far

What do you want me to do, you know I’m not invisible
I’m living right next to you boy, so come on, over to me

If you want to meet me, I will meet you anywhere
If you want to have me, you can call me anytime
If you want a lover, you can have me whenever
If you want forever, I will always be with you

What I’m gonna do to get you to look outside your window
I am waiting here for you to see that I’m the one for you

I’ve been giving all the signs to you
So you’ll see I will be always true
Don’t want you to be somebody else
I like everything about yourself

If you want to meet me, I will meet you anywhere
If you want to have me, you can call me anytime
If you want a lover, you can have me whenever
If you want forever, I will always be with you

If you want to meet me, I will meet you anywhere
If you want to have me, you can call me anytime
If you want a lover, you can have me whenever
If you want forever, I will always be with you

This song is part of our album, The Windmill of the Year, and it represents the Autumn Equinox. The bardic purpose of this ancient Celtic mythic tale about the rescue of Mabon was to illustrate the importance of the Animal Spirits, and their long memories, to the shaman who goes to them for guidance in the Underworld. 

This originally orally-conveyed yarn was drawn in the constellations of the polar stars, and it's entitled How Culhwch Won Olwen. It’s also the earliest Celtic myth featuring Arthur Pendragon.

Our hero Culhwch (Hercules) was born in a pig pen and raised by sows, but he eventually went on to win the hand of the beautiful princess Olwen (Ursa Minor or Little Bear), who had been kept from him by her ogre father Yspaddaden (Draco).

However, like all heroes that make their epic rite-of-passage journey around Merlin’s Round Table of the Stars, Culhwch has to pass a number of trials first, and one of them is to find and release Mabon, the Wondrous Youth, who had been imprisoned before Time had even begun.  

Yet he cannot even attempt this impossible Quest without the help of his cousin, Arthur Pendragon (Ursa Major or Great Bear) Olwen’s monstrous, one-eyed uncle Custennin, the Wild Herdsman (Bootes), Drudwyn the Hound (Cor Caroli), the Eagle (Aquila) and the Salmon (Cetus).

Lyrics  -

The last or first 
Either way
You get it.
They say
Nothing unless 
They see it
You are fronting
Until you 
Believe it,
Then build it,
Piece by pieces 
Or in peace 
I can feel it
Healing from
Being torn
Hammered on like
A storm,
Her was flames,
I been put out,
Miss smoke
And mirrors 
What’s illusion,
Misspoke my
Confusion,
What’s love?
I understood how
I could fall,
From flat bottom,
Trying to climb,
The psyche of 
Her mind,
But I have been living 
Behind,
On on time,
Cause like love,
It’s invented,
Giving your all to a
Concept,
That would have the
Pious
Tempt it,
Beauty in the eye
Flip up,
Closed off what’s blind?
Pull it shut
Keep it together when low
High or in any weather,
Outside,
Glass ceilings exist
And get rocked
Shattered
Reflection broken it
Mattered,
Multiplying what was
Light,
I see an illusion,
Or illustration,
Cause lately 
Moana and tease a
Has me painting,
I’d been waiting

They say every new day,
It’s a new start,
But since I knew you I have
Been thrown apart,
This world got me
Feeling so dark
But it will be alright
Shut the door baby
Turn off the light


Lock me in
I lost my mind,
Mistaken
I cost my time
Role ex 
Made an example,
But I would risk it,
To dismantle 
This feeling.
Rip off the stitches 
I am healing,
Alone feeling 
Sown together 
Cause I meant 
It when we said 
forever,
7 letters F
(O) Or (R) are (E) we (V) be (E) each
(R) Heart,
Syncing words 
Fucked from the 
Start,
Thinking worst,
Thinks can happen,
Spelling like I want (won) 
A be (bee),
Interpret like wants a 
Fellow need (felony),
We did time,

They say every new day,
It’s a new start,
But since I knew you I have
Been thrown apart,
This world got me
Feeling so dark
But it will be alright
Shut the door baby
Turn off the light

You got to give it to 
Make it,
But bank without saving 
Interest 
Take it 
Out,
It hurts when you lie,
On money,
I didn’t want to diversify,
But couldn’t risk it,
Cause my hearts
Trying to fix it 
Before I drive again,
Diving off the deep end,
No water I die,
But I want her and I.
Won’t buy a drink
To be drunk,
Trying to find what’s good
Is tough,
What’s a baddy,
I had the feeling,
It’s bad enough,
Apples spoil,
When the bunch,
Meets one that’s
Rotten,
So I am sick to
My stomach 
I am starving
What is love,
This world has forgotten

Chorus 

So turn off the light
To see what’s in inside,
And hide the pride,
Of keeping it together,
Paint the shine 
In any weather,
Rain and pain.
Wash away bright
Of a day that is gray,
It’s not black and white,
Or wrong what you say
To not see my 
Condition,
Broke and rich cause
I listen 
And you are never less man,
Even if you fail 
In a lesson,
When you are tested.
So here is the paper of
My life,
Ripped they say the 
Mache has me
Bet in I can built back 
Greater,
What is love?
I don’t hate her?
I don’t hate her
I don’t hate her?
I don’t hate her

Gayatri Mantra (extended meditation mix)

Lyrics:

[chorus]
Feeling lonely at the 
court house
If you ever lost a homie 
better pour it out 
You been on a straight path,
I took the distorted route 
Used to have the time to lay back
 I can’t afford it now

[chorus]
Feeling lonely at the 
court house
If you ever lost a homie 
better pour it out 
You been on a straight path,
I took the distorted route 
Used to have the time to lay back
 I can’t afford it now


[chorus]
Feeling lonely at the 
court house
If you ever lost a homie 
better pour it out 
You been on a straight path,
I took the distorted route 
Used to have the time to lay back
 I can’t afford it now


[chorus]
Feeling lonely at the 
court house
If you ever lost a homie 
better pour it out 
You been on a straight path
I took the distorted route 
Used to have the time to lay back
 I can’t afford it now

[verse]
Asking for my time back
But what’s my time worth?
Asking for my time back, 
But what’s my time worth?

[bridge]
What's my time worth?
(what's my time worth?)
What's my time worth?
(what's my time worth?)

[pre-chorus]
feeling lonely at the court house
(lonely at the court house)
(lonely at the court house)

feeling lonely at the court house
(lonely at the court house)
(lonely at the court house)



[chorus]
Feeling lonely at the 
court house
If you ever lost a homie 
better pour it out 
You been on a straight path,
I took the distorted route 
Used to have the time to lay back
 I can’t afford it now

[chorus]
Feeling lonely at the 
court house
If you ever lost a homie 
better pour it out 
You been on a straight path,
I took the distorted route 
Used to have the time to lay back
 I can’t afford it now
