From Mud to Lotus: Composed, arranged, performed and produced by Evandro B. Lira aka Vintage Mutation.

"... The cyclical nature of events leads to inevitable periods of obscurity (the immersion in the mud). The imperishable tradition makes it possible for humanity to emerge from them through hope, driven by unique symbols and messages of power, purity, and beauty (the blossoming of the lotus)."

From Mud to Lotus

Song about moving on, reinventing yourself, letting go 

Train song

Part 4 of an Instrumental concept album I've been trying to compose, honestly more of a lesson in music production than anything else, but I thought I had a few good licks regardless. All feedback welcome :)

Lyrics: 

Our bodies are enslaved, but our minds and our spirits do not have to be. Do not fear thinking outside what is considered normal, do not fear to think unlike your peers. If they judge you, let them; their opinions are of ill importance; what matters is your heart, what matters is the truth. This physical existence is but only a short chapter in the epic tale of you and I; a tale that connects us all and stretches throughout eternity.

As your lives are spent working day in and day out to reach the a-typical material goals, ask yourself in a deeper sense: are you happy? Do you know true happiness? Or do you merely find comfort within the confines of societal boundaries because it is safer to follow the majority?

Liberate your spirit; even if it means being criticised, even if it means being considered abnormal;

 everyone has the right and/or power to be themselves, we just need to break free from the shackles of fear which hold us back from revealing what is behind the mask.

LIBERATION. 🎧

Message From God

I don't know what is to be saved but I know my road is sometimes paved with good intentions did I fail to mention.. we came from the great big sea he and she  you and me we crawled we walk we live we breathe we die nobody knows how we got here. nobody knows where were going, nobody knows anything and the world keeps turning round and we haven't heard a thing from the man in the sky Every body has an answer but nobody really has a clue the sun comes up the sun goes down you better hope your still around this old earth has had enough its gonna throw us in the fire like a paper cup and the winds going to blow like a hurricane like New Orleans on that terrible day Nobody knows anything nobody knows what tomorrow will bring nobody knows anything  and the wheels keep spinning round and round and we haven't heard a thing from the man in the sky....Man in the sky.... keeps us wondering why...Nobody knows Anything! Nobody knows when the angels will sing , Nobody knows anything, and the band keeps playing on and on...and we  never seem to hear  from the man in the sky, no we never seem to hear from the man up high

Man In The Sky

I've flown in the air
I've sometimes even sailed the seas 
I've taken the railways
but I like to keep both feet on the ground

I've braved winters
and walked in the scorching heat
but that was yesterday
Today, what I prefer

is my home
the one I love
grabbing my guitar
and write songs
it's my home
doing what I love
and enjoying life
before it's too late
No, it's not too late

on the other side of the world
I've still had times when I've enjoyed myself
but there's nothing to do
Today, what I prefer

is my home
the one I love
grabbing my guitar
and write songs
it's my home
