Recorded in 1977 - something that came to me all at once words and all. Nothing ever came to/through me "all at once" like this. I let several people listen to this, when it was just 12 string and mandolin, but the looks on their faces told me all I needed to know so this got shelved, even though it is one of my favorites.

I finally got a friend, Joe Kaniuga, (pronounced ka-nooga) to listen to this and agree to add a lead guitar to it. Joe did make this tune much more acceptable and his version is far better than my attempt to put a lead guitar to it. Joe had never heard this before and went through it three times before recording it, all in about 20 minutes.

I have other versions of this but those are in storage. After adding a lead to this it "sort of" became a jam instead of a finished song. It is finished now and several versions have been recorded. You can thank me later that you are not listening to a few of the versions of this.

This has lyrics:

Don't you love to see the clouds in the sky? Sunlight everywhere! 
Love and rain and flowers, swaying in the breeze! Dreaming as I please! 
(pause for change) 
Reach out when you look inside!

Something deep inside me sometimes calls to me, something I may be! 
Is there any love just because I'm me? Or I may not be free! 
(pause for change) 
Reach out when you look inside!

Don't you love to see her when there's fire in her eyes? Sunlight in her hair! 
Can't you hear her sighing when there's nothing left to say? Then the moment slips away! 
Don't you love to mystery? Touch her if you dare! Feelings everywhere! 
(pause for change)

Reach out when you look inside!

I first heard these words when I was 17 years old. I have thought these words over for many years and listen to them many times

Procol Harem - Shine on Brightly - In Held Twas in I

Look To Your Soul

I know if I'd been wiser this would never have occurred - but I wallowed in my blindness so it's plain that I deserve - for the sin of self-indulgence when the truth was writ quite clear - I must spend my life amongst the dead who spend their lives in fear - of a death that they're not sure of, of a life they can't control - It's all so simple really if you just look to your soul - for there's nothing hidden anywhere, it's all there to be sought!
And so if you know anything look closely at the time - at others who remain untrue and don't commit that crime
