TITLE: SIMPLE ROADS
__________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
Shoes by the door and a jacket that's frayed
A clock on the wall but I’ve lost track of days
The garden’s enough no need for gold
The less I carry the more I hold

(Chorus)
Simple roads and quiet skies
The weight falls off as the years go by
No need to run no need to try
Freedom lives where clutter dies

(Verse 2)
The mirror shows lines but I don't care
Each one’s a map of the love I wear
The clutter fades the heart remains
Peace grows wild like summer rains

(Pre-chorus)
No trophies no crowns
Just a soft place to land

(Chorus)
Simple roads and quiet skies
The weight falls off as the years go by
No need to run no need to try
Freedom lives where clutter dies

(Bridge)
Let the rush go like a passing train
What’s worth keeping will always remain
A bird in the tree sings my name
I answer back we’re just the same

Life Isn't Meant To Last

Simple Roads

Velvet sins

You Are The Future Now

(John Stone)

You are the future now
It’s time to recognise it
I’ve  put it off somehow 
But now I’ve come to realise it
Time has had its way
And no one can escape it
No matter what you try to do
The sands of time will get to you
You step aside for someone new 
When all is said and done 
You are the future now

It’s true we’ve had our ups and downs
We never will agree on
Which one of us is standing
On the side of history
But who knows what the future holds
Events will ebb and flow 
The people change their point of view
And when and why we’ll never know

Perhaps there’ll be a time 
When all will be accepted
And those who’ve seen it all before
Are valued and perhaps respected
Reason leads us to
Only what we choose to view
Be open to the things you see
And you may see things differently 
To be the best that you can be
But now your time has come
You are the future now

The cycle rolls around
You briefly take the stage
You will have to understand 
The complications of our age
And those who lived another time
And those who’s views do not align 
Because they walked a different line 
As now it’s up to you

You’ll watch your children grow
And try to teach them what you know
And hope they’ll understand 
The world just how you’ve come to see it
From your point of view
But one day they will rise
And as they look you in the eye
Don’t look away, don’t criticise
The time has come to recognise
That you must tell them too
You are the future now

You Are The Future Now

Blue in River
Poem and music by Pamela Illanes-Tatsuoka

Blue, so blue in river

Every night
I come
to see you

Blue, so blue in river

I can see your pensive water
the full moon
above you
and the shimmering of she

Blue, so blue in river
you take away
the sadness out of me

Blue, so blue in river

You take away
the sadness out of me

Blue, blue in river

Blue in River (Live)

Rock/electronica fusion in the downtempo 70's department. 
Music Vocals Lyrics by the man Dan aka ZEMANDAN
Lyrics:Him again
Rabid whisper
in abandoned light,
The road folds inward,
out of sight
Sheeple breathe through borrowed face
notice nothing, dressed in mace

Air is rare this high,
said the empty chair
The payphone rang, 
but no one was there.
Two mice fell in cream
Silence replied,
I swallowed the echo,
no one inside

Rabid whisper
in abandoned light
The road folds inward,
out of sight

It gave me a pen,
the ink was gone
Clock ticked sideways
and shadows yawned
She sighed;
Friendly carpet playback
-A bass drum never lied

-This can't be real
-This can't be real

Rabid whisper
in abandoned light,
The road folds inward,
out of sight
Sheeple breathe through borrowed face
notice nothing, dressed in mace
Sheeple breathe through borrowed face
notice nothing, dressed in mace

Rabid Whisper

Lyrics:

nothing is scarier
 than facing myself

peeling off the layers
 like fruit on a shelf

monsters crawling out 
from under my shell

and no one seems to hear me 
when i cry for help

but i’m taking  all the darkness 
that was woven  into me 
and turning it  into something 
greater

 i want to laugh  'til my ribs explode
i want to feel every crack  in my bones
i want a ring from my baby
 i want to forget  all about new york

 i want to laugh  'til my ribs explode
i want to feel every crack  in my bones
i want a ring from my baby
 i want to forget  all about new york

 i want to laugh  'til my ribs explode
i want to feel every crack  in my bones
i want a ring from my baby
 i want to forget  all about new york

i glamorized my sadness
 like decor on a wall

tears dripping down my cheeks 
tsunamis flooding the hall

but i’ve met what’s underneath 
and i greet it with grace

i’ve got people who would take me in 
when i can’t find my place

but i’m taking  all the darkness 
that was woven  into me 
and turning it  into something 
greater

 i want to laugh  'til my ribs explode
i want to feel every crack  in my bones
i want a ring from my baby
 i want to forget  all about new york

 i want to laugh  'til my ribs explode
i want to feel every crack  in my bones
i want a ring from my baby
 i want to forget  all about new york

 i want to laugh  'til my ribs explode
i want to feel every crack  in my bones
i want a ring from my baby
 i want to forget  all about new york

i don’t want the past to haunt me
 i was born with so much light
 before something 
died inside

but i found this superpower 
of flipping things around 
when life gives me lemons
i smoke them to the ground


LEMONS (Demo)

This song was written in the year 2000 and peruses the up's and the downs of life and the lyrics were lasered to someone in particular I'll keep to myself :-)

Lyrics
Pleasures the time and place where lies
And all the minds that you forsake roam free
Treasure the climb, In your face,
For in time no one will look to embrace just what you will be
Present the lines to race against the short burst wonders of this musical grace
Now that's reality
Some decent from a higher place could result from some Indian blood
But not a five letter fake
Oh, can't you see...

With your idea of up
There 'aint no down
Don't you know what you'll be
You'll be part of that greedy unwanted crowd
And then we think that your on the brink...
It's just your innocent girl trying to lose a link
With your way up, there 'aint no down
With your way up, there 'aint no down

Sever the ties and replace it with some kind driven thoughts and some kind driven fate,
Make peace
Too clever in no's
I never miss this state
A non existent claim of just to wonder and wait and bring...
Bring a little relief
Oh will you ever show us all of what's inside
So we can see the world with five billion eyes
And we can do our part to rescue this false start
With tender loving art
A key evolutions heart

With your idea of up
There 'aint no down
Don't you know what you'll be
You could be one of the mere mortals not allowed
To seek reason and dignity
And live along side infinity

With your idea of up
There 'aint no down
Don't you know what you'll be
You could be one of the mere mortals not allowed
To seek reason and dignity
And live along side infinity
