Well Katy turned away, with a slow step back she falls into the night / And says there's nothing left to pray for and there's nothing worth the fight / It just feels like we're empty until someone comes along that we could paste in every picture and sing for in each song / And if it's always going to be like this I'll quit believing now / If the memories from each turn we missed keep dragging us around in circles then I'd rather forget / She cried and hailed a taxi with her cigarette.

So we say goodbye 
And I wonder why 
We're always leaving so soon
Or why I chase the midnight sky 
When I could be holding the moon

She said take me as I am or take the next train out of town / Take the memories we kept locked away cause darling this love is hurricane bound / And I want to ask her ain't it easier just face it, either my heart kept running faster or yours grew too strong to chase it / So it all just fades away and slowly I step back into the night / Cause if there's nothing real to stay for then there's no need for the light / And we remain two lost shadows in the dark with a fear to ever frame our restless hearts.

So we say goodbye 
And I wonder why 
We're always leaving so soon
Or why I chase the midnight sky 
When I could be holding the moon

We say goodbye 
And then off wide eyed 
All the way from the cradle to the tomb
Wondering why 
We chase the midnight sky 
When we could be holding the moon

Holding The Moon

LEARN ABOUT NICHIREN BUDDHISM AND HOW YOU CAN BEGIN PRACTICING HERE: hhttp://www.sgi.org/buddhism/practice-an-introduction.html

Thank you to everyone who makes use of this video. This is for you no matter where you live, or how you practice, if you are part of SGI or not, or you practice alone. We are all in this together, we need to stop looking at our differences, get over our petty little egos or lesser selves and stand together. We share this planet, we need to learn to respect each other and get along. If we do not, it will be the end of us and our time here. 

Nam Myōhō Renge Kyō (南無妙法蓮華經, also transliterated Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō; literally translated as Devotion to the Law of the Lotus Flower Scripture and exegetically translated as Devotion to the Mystic Law of cause and effect that exists throughout all the sounds and vibrations of the universe) is a mantra that is chanted as the central practice of all forms of Nichiren Buddhism. The mantra is referred to as Daimoku (題目, or the Great Invocation) and was first revealed by the Japanese Buddhist teacher Nichiren on the 28th day of the fourth lunar month of 1253 AD at Kiyosumi-dera (also, Seichōji) near Kominato in current-day Chiba, Japan. The practice of chanting the daimoku is called shōdai (唱題). The purpose of chanting daimoku is to attain perfect and complete awakening, and have actual proof of this practice to oneself and others of the validity of the Lotus Sutra.

The phrase is somewhat difficult to render into English because each word or set of words contains a complex set of symbolism and connotation, and without an understanding of the semiotic significance of the words, the full meaning is lost.

Namo Myoho Renge Kyo
I devote myself to the Mystic Law of the Lotus Sutra.

This mantra encapsulates the teachings of the Lotus Sutra by Gautama the Buddha, given towards the end of his life. The message of this mantra is that we all carry the state of Buddhahood within our own hearts. Chanting this mantra opens us to our supreme and innate Buddha Nature.

By 'Pint of Mystery' from www.danielchampagnemusic.com

I got half a hand still hanging from a heart i couldn't hold / I got an iron will lying by the door of a girl i used to know / she circles like a raver round the raged edge of time / through the deepest of pain trailing away with my mind

And we both go 
Tearing down the boulevard with our hearts on show
And we both throw
Our world for believing cause it's leaving and it's all we know

There's no angel that could save me from the light i see / a startled satin lady with here eyes on me / with a watered down whisky stair she waits for a dance / and in the misty midnight city square I fall for the chance

So we both go 
Tearing down the boulevard with our hearts on show
And we both throw
Our world for believing cause it's leaving and it's all we know

Always falling on my sword I try to fight your charm
But lets not weep for loss
And lets not speak of why we crossed 
Lets just dream tonight like life forgot
Our secret in the dark

I've got half a hand still hanging from a heart I couldn't hold / I've got a witches spell tracing for truth beneath each tail I'm told / and I used to know this mirrored maze I walked it as a child but so many things around us change in the face of times trial 

Where we both go 
Tearing down the boulevard with our hearts on show
And we both throw
Our world for believing cause it's leaving and it's all we know

We both go 
Tearing down the boulevard with our hearts on show
And we both throw
Our world for believing cause it's leaving and it's all we know

The nightingale sings each morning
Her sweet song weaved in midnight's thread
Beneath her vale, a kingdom's calling
If I could leave this grassy bed

But when I told you I was afraid to fall
Really I was afraid to fly at all

Deep in trial, bound and burning
Her restless charm has broken through
But between cheap denial and reckless yearning
To run from harm was all I knew

So when I told you I was afraid to fall
Really I was afraid to fly
When I told you I was afraid to fall
Really I was afraid to fly at all

We fly and we fall
From the summers golden ray's to the murky ocean floor
Sometimes there's some cause we're calling for
But mostly it seems we're chasing dreams to the shore

The Nightingale flies tonight
And I know the spell that she's weaving
It's not like I can't stand the fight
I just can't stand the leaving

So when I told you I was afraid to fall
Really I was afraid to fly
When I told you I was afraid to fall
Really I was afraid to fly at all

The Nightingale

This is a recording of a set of singing bowls.  The root bowl is C#, the Aum tone or Earth tone.  The other bowls are harmonized with the Chakras in this scale.

These types of singing bowls have been used since ancient times in meditations and healing work.  They are traditionally made with 7 metals representing the 7 planets that the tibetan monks were aware of at the time.  The bowls produce monaural beats and harmonic overtones that affect body and mind on a deep level.  The bowl set here is based on the Earth tone.  This is also known as "Om" and is the calculated sound signature of the Earth as it travels around the sun. In Indian music this is also called the Sadja. The corresponding bowls were matched according to the Chakra system in Ayurvedic medicine.  This also corresponds roughly with the western major scale.

As one reviewer recently said...‘Daniel Champagne exudes a natural ease on stage, as he sings poignant lyrics and beautifully crafted melodies that invariably whisk the heart up with grand romanticism. Coupled with an exhilarating guitar talent that transcends mere acoustic playing to replicate a whole band, Champagne is just magical’ (themusic.com.au)
