incredible songwriting. incredible talent!

This intro has the vibe of mice sneaking around the kitchen while the cat's asleep; but done like a spy movie. :)

Really nice piano/bass elements in this one. Love those mischievous melodies. And a grand outro. Very nice!

Fresh Sound

For everyone who wants change. This one will get you going thats for sure. 
For the new Generation, Don't be afraid...

Storm in a Cup
--------------

Every time you said
Be prepared for the storm,
weather turned out nice and sweet

Storm in a cup
Storm in a cup
Nothing to fear today
that's what we say
no shelters needed for us anyway

Just like all those times you told us to,
prepare for war,
no war ships came to our shore.
no soldiers to our door

Storm in a cup
Storm in a cup
Nothing to fear today
that's what we say
no shelter's needed, peace is here to stay

You're crying about war
we can't hear you,
not in this storm

You're crying about war
we can't hear you,

You're crying about war
we can't hear you,
not in this storm

A hike to the park, past the concert garden, out into the no man's wood land and back.

Eine Wanderung zum Park, vorbei am Konzertgarten, hinaus in in den Niemandsland Wald und zurück.

I was inspired by some older synthesizers for this song. So SQ80, Wavestation and D50 were used, along with some modern VST plug-ins. The song refers to an older song and thus connects past and present.
Ooh yes, i cooked the picture myself once again ;-)

Lyrics.            Asteriod
Some asteroids in outer space are made of cheese.
We only need to capture one of these
And we can feed everyone in the world for free.
I'm hoping it won't be a Roquefort or a Brie,
A nice sharp cheddar would be just fine with me.

Make a list check the box then move on
Lock the door, mop the floor, do the chores then move on.
Love the world if you're able, if you're not please set the table
Time to eat, wash your feet, eat your meat
Repleat with rice and beans and broccoli.

High speed snow and sleet outside
While we practice worldwide genocide
In the name of economic prosperity for the few
How bout you, if you were boss what would You do?

Wood nymph hiding stealthily behind a giant Douglas fir
Off to the west. A most majestic tree.
She took my hand that girl with diamonds in her eyes
And said now follow me to a clearing where they were singing songs of love and war.

Getting back trying to unlock the doors
Crucifixion is the perfect antidote for lethargy
Oh can't you see.
If we had our druthers we'd be getting back to where we were before
Even though that bridge is burning brightly in the middle of a balmy night
The dog wood bloomed
Reminded me it used to be her favorite tree
When she still loved me like a bell that rings in distant memories.

Since it’s Springtime (at least, in my neck of the woods), I thought it would be fun to share a few gardening tips… for your brain!! :)

Consider for a moment the evolving brain of our mammalian ancestors. Recent neuroscience studies suggest we are dramatically more wired for absorbing and reliving negativity than we are positivity. It’s all part of the survival plan. If you think a lot about a bad situation (like that time you were jumped by a tiger in the jungle, and barely escaped with your life), you’re able to imagine similar scenarios better, and are less likely to fall victim to the same situation. 

The issue is, the average human is not as physically threatened as mammals were during those early developmental stages. But we are more psychologically threatened; and those scenarios still get stored, replayed and reimagined in the same way. 

Admittedly, we still need those survival skills to some degree. But perhaps it’s ok if we dial them down a bit. So how do we do that? With the help of the next cool book I want to share, ‘Hardwiring Happiness’ by Rick Hanson, Ph.D.

One of the most profound ideas I pulled from this book was the idea of just sitting and dwelling in a positive moment. Sounds weird, right?

Intriguingly… quite the opposite of how we store negative experiences for survival purposes, positive experiences don’t often benefit our survival, and are typically discarded with the passing of short term memory. 

But if you dwell in a happy moment… if you feel the excitement in your body (chemical), if you replay the scenario (neurological)… and don’t just shrug it off, but literally allow yourself to spend even 5-10 minutes in that space… you do the same storage upload process to your brain that the negative stuff is doing (and if you’re like me, you can easily spend 5-10 minutes dwelling on that negative crap, so you know you have it in you to focus that long). 

So with practice and patience, you begin to rewire your mind to more easily tap into those positive memories, and that positive energy. And if you keep doing that on a frequent basis, you discover your mind grows much more adept at naturally jumping to happy thoughts rather than fearful thoughts. 

I joyfully admit I put this to the test about 15 years ago, when I started my ‘finding my truth’ journey (it sounded better than a midlife crisis. Those are so passé these days. Sheesh). But I painfully admit… I also had a dragon-sized ego at the time. I hid my fears and self-doubts behind a wall of arrogant rage. And I was strangely untouchable (but also snippy and abrasive) with that kind of armor and weaponry. 

Ultimately, it wasn’t who I wanted to be. Thus the desire for change. I went into this new daily practice expecting no immediate results. All I had was hope that it would impact my neural wiring eventually. And about 5 years into that practice, I realized I was recognizably more positive inside. 

Granted, it took me that long because I was (foolishly) at war with my ego, thinking it was ‘the enemy’… rather than just a co-pilot with delusions of piloty grandeur (so there you go, you can bypass that step if you want to). 

15 years into my practice, I am so much healthier mentally than I was back then, it’s like I’ve lived two different lives. Now, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, I can absolutely see the journey was well worth it. So if you’re looking for another insightful tool for changing your thinking, I highly recommend ‘Hardwiring Happiness’. It’s a great ‘starting point’ book. And it’s based on neuroscience; so, very high on logic, but low on esoteric (making it a little more approachable to the masses). 

I hope you also enjoyed my latest musical creation, ‘Planting In The Hidden Garden’. :)

WTF! The Musical

Planting In The Hidden Garden

Just Before Dawn
--------------------
Night is dark and deep (so deep)
The angels are asleep, so sweet (so sweet)

Coming through
Just before dawn, (here) 
the borderland, in between, 
awake and dream.

Strange it seems
Just before dawn, (now)
Silence embrace,
this place.

Angels sleep
Just before dawn, (and)
no one's here to cast
the demons away 
so they stay till dawn has come

My latest song creation is called "My One and Only".   The song has a line if you listen carefully that says "I missed Gorilla man; he did not miss me".  You may miss it.  I only say it once and it's kind of blurry.    

This line came into my head after I heard a story about an experiment on selective attention.  The study participants think it must be a study of concentration as they are asked to watch a film of a group of people moving and rapidly passing a ball around.  The people watching the film are asked to count how many times the people with white shirts received a pass from other folks wearing white shirts (there are other people in darker shirts also in the crowd, moving and passing a ball around).  When they are later asked how they thought they did on the test, most thought they counted the number of passes pretty accurately.  When they are asked about the Gorilla Man many said they had no recollection of a Gorilla Man and were flabbergasted when they watched a video playback that clearly showed a Gorilla Man in the video. In fact, the Gorilla Man stands plainly right smack in the middle of the video and claps for the camera.  What was even more amazing is that many people were adamant a Gorilla Man could not have been in the the first video they watched and that the playback video had to have been doctored or manipulated.    Now that I have told you the punch line, if you go and watch this on Youtube it will not be quite as interesting, however, it is a great example of selective attention.  If our mind's are even slightly concentrated or pre-occupied on a task we can lose sight of other things right smack in front of us. 

So what does this have to do with my song? I have no f@#king idea!  Ask a Psychologist.....it just may prove how crazy I am!  ....ha ha ha.     

This song has an upbeat feel and a cool "wah wah" signature sound that walks "through the center" like a Gorilla Man.  I hope you notice it ; )  Enjoy the music.
