I'll never forget the groundbreaking 1996 Album Endtroducing by DJ Shadow. I've listened again and again and I'm still a student of the drum.

Ode To DJ Shadow

This is a track I started working on back in 2006 in Mumbai India. Then in 2013, I went into the Seattle Guitar Center's "beautiful guitars" room, grabbed the best acoustic I could get my hands on, turned on my iPhone audio recorder and wrote the rest (75%) of this track on the spot. A bit raw and I hope you enjoy it.

So Many Thoughts So Many Ideas

How did we get too this place --
Where a man can die just for the color of his face
And I as a white man, feel so ashamed, to call myself an American 
I feel some how I am to blame

I can’t breathe, we can’t breath, we can’t see - we are skin deep, we are stuck halfway between

And so the fisherman gonna open up your eyes
And yes he’ll take you, take you to the sky 
And yes we roll, we roll on with the tide
But that fisherman gonna take you to the sky

Somewhere on a universal plane
All things like pain and age seem the very same 
I think you know just what it is that I mean 
Seeing this state of need and state of greed 

I pray that the generations of youth that will lead us into the future 
find a way to go beyond the failings of their forefathers.
