Sex And Candy- Marcy Playground Cover

This song was written as a prayer. 
I wished to discover my soul mate, someone to love deeply and true. I wrote this song and sang it out to the universe, asking for her to show her face, for I was done holding my breath. But now, I have no one to wait for. She is here. Turn out she was always there. :)
Enjoy this song, it means a great deal to me. 


Holding My Breath

This song was written about fallin' in love with the things in our lives that will always be there within' our lives. I really hope you enjoy!!

Chest Of Dave (Senior & Erik Childs)

Hello, Brothers and Sisters! Sending my love your way and reminding you to not take life too darn seriously! Sometimes, even if just for a moment or two, forgetting your worries and troubles may just be the solution! Life is a blessed gift and it's better to forget everything else than to forget that!

Lyrics: 
Mid-October breeze
Come around the bend
Whisper through the trees
Take me for a spin
I wish to fall in love again
With everything I am
and all I want to be
To love the place I'm at and to see all I can see
I'm alive and breathing after all

So let's forget the bills and the pay checks 
Forget the sorrow, forget the neglect
Let's forget that foolish concept 
Where mankind, in nature, must fall
Because, funny enough, we're alive and breathing after all

Concrete waterfall, bathe me in your sound
Take me someplace far away where peace has been found
But nothing persuades me to move
Have I found it here, in the midst of all the mess?
Did no one ever think to look inside of themselves?
The only place where peaceful thoughts are found 

So let's forget the anger and the sadness
Forget the reason why silly things still make as upset
Just forget what you think you came here for
You'll find when you die that it won't even matter anymore
So let's forget

Let's forget all the things
That we won't take with us when we die 
And you just might find that the only thing 
That will never leave your side  
is the fact that you somehow find yourself alive

Mid-October breeze, thank you for your song
I'm grateful that I have the breath to sing along


Let's Forget

This, my dear friends, is a revolution. The times we find ourselves in where people are awakening and really digesting the truth of the matters at hand. We've seen the wars, we've seen the hate and we've seen the fear of it all. But we wouldn't be able to see these things without the Light. We are swiftly becoming the illuminated ones and we know now that It is about damn time for a major change in the way we get things done. We are finally upon it; this leap in evolution that will bring our world in to brighter, more peaceful days. 

If you have a moment while you listen, please read these lyrics.
I had you in mind while writing them. ;)

Lyrics:

What am I?
Am I the thoughts that I hold in my head or is that the lie?
Leading me to believe one day I will die?
Awakening a fear in my heart but I don't know why....
Because I am Life.
And of all these things I'm sure
Life will go on just as it did before
I opened my eyes on the morning I was born.
I looked into the Light and I felt Love
Drop a beat in this heart of gold. 

I've been looking for a meaning beyond this life and what I'm seeing
Because, for all I know, I'm dreaming this illusion
Finding patterns in the fabric
I clear my thoughts of all the static 
and my heart from all it's panic and find a solution

Because this is a Revolution
Breaking the dawn of a Conscious Evolution 
Paving the path for a Peaceful Resolution
This is a Movement
You got to stand up
You must Believe in the Power of Love
and see there's Hope for all of us.

What is Truth?
If we're all moving in different directions it must be proof
That it doesn't lie in our perception
We must give up
This war we fight with our opinions
We've had enough
It's time we see the beauty in all of us and ask
What is Love?
Is it something to hold in your clutch or to let go of
Exercise Faith and Trust and just offer it up
Make this world a little bit sweeter for all of us

I can see into a future of a planet we haven't nurtured
It's not a happy ending, you can be sure of it.
We've been held down by a system of convoluted constitutions
breeding fear, anger and hatred but now it's time
for Love's retribution 

For this is a Revolution
Breaking the dawn of a Conscious Evolution 
Paving the path for a Peaceful Resolution
This is a Movement
You got to stand up
You must Believe in the Power of Love
and see there's hope for all of us.

I found Myself when I looked upon a stranger 
I found Truth in that which never falters
I found Love in the Heart of the beholder
and I found God when I knew there was no other
 
We've been standing on the precipice
Of an overwhelming Consciousness 
The likes of which we've never felt before
Where Forgiveness reigns
and we break the chains 
that hold our fragile minds in vein
It's time to change and to break past this illusion

For this is a Revolution
Breaking the dawn of a Conscious Evolution 
Paving the path for a Peaceful Resolution
This is a Movement
You got to stand up
You must believe in the Power of Love
and see there's Hope for all of us.

 


Revolution

Wrote this is honor of Opia - When you look into the eyes of another and feel your gaze penetrate theirs while feeling simultaneously vulnerable to their gaze as it penetrates you.

Moonlit Vulnerability

Wanna feel the magical mojo of the man with the waxed mustache whilst he jives around in some sparkly-ass gold tights?
