NOTES
Conceptually the song works on two levels. 

The literal meaning involves two descriptions, one of escaping a bad place by boat only to be returned by bad weather, and then on returning, witnessing the imprisonment of friends. These descriptions signify the difficulty of escape.

The second level is metaphorical. The existentialist philosopher Albert Camus famously explained the absurdity of life’s existence by comparing it with the situation depicted in the Greek tragedy, The myth of Sisyphus. Sisyphus is condemned to the meaningless task – like that of repetitive work – of pushing a boulder up a hill only for it to roll down to the bottom, and for the process to start over again, ad infinitum. Sisyphus always ends up back where he was before. Camus speculates that even though, like all of human life, the predicament is crazy and horrifying, Sisyphus defies his situation and presses on. “One must imagine Sisyphus happy” says Camus.

I like Camus’s approach to absurdity: to confront it with sanguine, upbeat, defiance.

LYRICS
Suddenly life changes
Suddenly we’re gone
Lining up with strangers
To travel far away
We are uncertain (all of our lives)
Of what in hell we might find
Oh!
Suddenly life's dangers
Suddenly are here
Say goodbye to all of our friends
We sail.
We sail.
~
The wind, it blows
It was howling
The moon so full
It was rising, pointing
Towards a place of hope
~
There’s only so much we can take
Then suddenly the storm clouds break
Riding the waves to shore
Seems we’ve been here before
Back where we were before
~
Suddenly life changes
Suddenly we’re home
Lining up with neighbors
To do it all again
We’re very certain
Of what in hell we will find
Oh!
Suddenly life’s dangers
Suddenly so clear
Say hello to all of our friends
In jail
In jail
~
The walls
So high
They were
Scraping scraping
The sky
So grey
It was 
Falling, warning
‘gainst a taste of hope
There’s only so much we can take
Before we crash these walls and break
Out of the blue once more
Seems we’ve been here before
Back where we were before.

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – traditional gourd form body sitar and lap steel

 This is a song that Chris wrote on the drums, bass, and guitar and shared with the collective. We all love working on Chris's songs, and got to work on it even more enthusiastically than usual. Josh was up first with his lap steel, which he weaves throughout. He also added the sitar at the beginning and the acoustic sitar at the end. Stephen stepped in and added the gnarly electric sitar at the end. JJ also made his presence heard by adding the thrilling organ and electric piano throughout. Ken then augmented Chris's original drums with his own in expert fashion. Last, but not least, Tez added his electric guitat magic to the stew, as well. 
  Since Chris brought this song to the group, and is a fine producer, he did the honors of the mix and production. 
  This is our latest with Chris, whose music we all adore. If you dig this, you should go check out his page, as it contains lots of wonders to hear. We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Give me the keys to your heart while you're at it
Making me hungry for which I give you credit
Make believe these feelings screaming through my body
Locked within my skin I need your heart to release me

Give me a sign of the words that live inside you
The ones you keep there cause the impact is unleashing
Will I ever know how to deal with these unquiet things
Or leave it locked inside and know it's there where it forever sings

Give me a clue, just a small one to remember
Unknown gravity distracting from my routines
Is it useless or a part of my own shadow
Should I brace myself and needing lots of ammo

Blankets can not cover or relief what is inside me
They can not recover but will deffo help to hide me
But I don't want to hide so that I always need to realize
Honesty rewards us with the greatest prize.
