Equanimity

Whirlpool

Meant to capture the sense of adventure and endless possibilities of nostalgic times. Also first time I've used a Yamaha MODX6+ synth, but love it so far.

 Lyrics:
 OVER THINKING
 The world is such a different place these days
 But I think
 I think too much
 I’m just trying to get out of my mind at this point
 Should I let them own me with chemicals?
 Please, the system is so perpetual
 Once you let them in
 fear will literally kill you from the inside
 Yeah yeah
 I know I sound a little crazy
 And most people think I’m insane
 But if there’s only thing I do know
 It’s that
 My mind is not my brain

Traduction Française:
TROP PENSER
Le monde est tellement différent de nos jours 
Mais je pense que je pense trop 
J’essaie juste de sortir de mon esprit à ce stade 
Devrais-je les laisser me contrôler avec des produits chimiques ? 
S’il vous plaît, le système est tellement perpétuel 
Une fois que vous les laissez entrer, la peur vous tuera littéralement de l’intérieur 
Ouais, ouais, je sais, j’ai l’air un peu fou 
Et la plupart des gens pensent que je suis insane 
Mais s’il y a une seule chose que je sais 
C’est que mon esprit n’est pas mon cerveau

Hypnotic World

I had left the pastorate in 1985 but many friends remained in the little town of St. Francis, Kansas.  One of them was a woman who found love again after the death of her spouse.  I composed this song for them and officiated their wedding and as far as I know, they lived happily ever after.  
Then came the wedding of my oldest daughter and she requested the song be done for her and Thor (yes, his real name;) That was 27 years ago.  
This past summer, I had suggested the song to Axel and after hearing my rough, 35 year old demo, he loved the song straight away, but wanted to change it up a bit.  The song I had written was done in a more devotional 4/4 meter, he wanted to bring to it the flavor of a Celtic dance.  Enter Mike Fox who gives the lyrics a definitive voice and excellent guitar to the backing track.  I loved the track art Axel had created because it resembled the wedding of my 2nd granddaughter Grace at the end of September, a lovely garden ceremony in Oklahoma City.  It resembles it right down to the kilt another son-in-law wore by request.  They didn't use the song as part of their ceremony, but I dedicate this new version to Grace and Ethan and wish them a lifetime of happiness and fond adventures together.
Thank you Axel and Mike for lavishing your talents on my songwriting efforts.  I am truly honored.  Hear more of their fabulous music creativity @soundcloud.com/axel-m-501052973, and @soundcloud.com/michael-fox-925325997

Gathered--Lyrics:
 What are we gathered here for, what have we come to see?
Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.

Bridge:
And it's more than just "tying a knot" and it's more than just getting "hitched"
We're seeing two hearts being sewn together,
We're witnessing it stitch by stitch.
It's the miracle of seeing two become one,
Though the two are really not the same,
Like the paint and the canvas are separate until 
The Artist joins them in a beautiful frame.

Repeat Verse:
What are we gathered here for, what have we come to see?
Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.
Will bind their hearts to each other and You
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.
