Dream Of Things

"A mistake that keeps being repeated is not a mistake, it's a choice." - Unknown

It's about taking chances, riding the river of life, and inspired by my love of those classic songwriters and their lo-fi vibe.  

Ride the river.

"The Same Mistakes Again" written, arranged, recorded, produced & performed by Eric Alexandrakis.

Mixed by Eric Alexandrakis and Zach Ziskin.

Lyrics:

Well i've been down that troubled road before, many times afoul.
And i know every stone and tree and pothole, I've stepped on them and howled.
Yet still looking down that dusty road temptation calls my name.
Oh how does the painful sensation pull me to make the same mistakes again?

Oh there's a bridge over the river, which takes me home with ease,
But if life was always so easy, we'd never scrape our knees.
Yeah the trees, the bees and blades of grass get teased by the breeze and terrain,
But if we never ride that river, we'll make the same mistakes again.

That old uneven road has made me trip surely more than thrice,
And yet somehow I keep taking the same path, and I keep paying the price.
That bridge up ahead is an easy route that keeps me safe and sound,
But if I take that river, I might cover greater ground. 

Well there's a bridge over the river, which takes me home with ease,
But if life was always so easy, we'd never scrape our knees.
Yeah the trees, the bees and blades of grass get teased by the breeze and terrain,
But if we never ride that river, we'll make the same mistakes again.

BRIDGE

Well this boat is a bit flimsy, but in life there are never guarantees.
Things look so much different when rowing on one's knees,
But I'm moving forward living life, and always seeing new things.
Just looking to see what the future says, and what new things it brings.

Now an unsuspecting wave rolls by, and knocks me in the water.
Sometimes the cards we're dealt in the game of life, fold and burn or prosper.
As I gasped for air I swore that life will keep me, I'm no martyr.
When I regained my footing I stood real tall, and the world was mine to conquer.

Yeah there's a bridge over the river, which takes me home with ease.
But if life was always so easy, we'd never scrape our knees.
Yeah the trees, the bees and blades of grass get teased by the breeze and terrain,
But if we never ride that river, we'll make the same mistakes again.

Oh there's a bridge over the river, which takes me home with ease.
But if life was always so easy, we'd never scrape our knees.
Yeah the trees, the bees and blades of grass get teased by the breeze and terrain,
But if we never ride that river, we'll make the same mistakes again.

Award winning Singer/songwriter and multi instrumentalist, Gareth is pleased to announce the new release of his CD 1-2-3 ,which features the song Castaway.
He has written, produced and is singing all songs on the album which was released on his 25th birthday- June 1st in 2023.  The Cd was recorded in Sunset Blvd Studios in Nashville, TN and features award winning musicians and engineers.  While other CD's have spotlighted Gareth's Native American Flute music, this new CD features his fantastic vocal abilities.  As critic Rick Moore of Music News Nashville wrote - "He is a rare talent... he puts the music in Music City".

Native American flute virtuoso, Gareth Laffely's "Voices of the Guardians", the follow-up to his highly successful CD entitled, "Sky Before the Storm", which earned him the #2 spot on Billboards New Age charts right behind Enya’s “Dark Sky”, making Gareth the youngest musician to reach #2 at 17 years of age.  He was awarded the prestigious "Rising Star" Award from the Native American Music Awards for his debut CD, “The Journey”. “Voices of the Guardians” is a collaboration with Emmy award winning producer/composer Lance Bendiksen, and features award winning Native American actor Wes Studi.

This musical art piece features ancient wisdom from Native American Elders and tribal leaders such as Chief Joseph, Cherokee Beloved Woman Nancy Ward, Chief Seattle and Sitting Bull, among others.  Their words echo from the past - being brought to life by the unmistakable voice of Wes Studi where they weave within the sweeping instrumental compositions of Laffely and Bendiksen.  Gareth’s music is featured on nationally acclaimed NPR radio program Hearts of Space, as well as Music Choice's Soundscapes channel.  His music video’s have been featured on GAC, (Great American Country Network) and also FNX Broadcasting, (First Nations Experience).
