Beautiful sound, nice sax, wonderful guitar solo! Very nice work, John!

"I love the manic in your kind of crazy" - the title is an amusing play on the lyric & became the inspiration behind the album sleeve. The song itself is about my mother-in-law who also passed away last year. She suffered from manic depression/bi-polar disorder her whole life, but when she was up she could be one of the funniest people you would ever meet. I prefer to remember her that way.

Would you kindly not mind me 
I see things untimely 
Bring dark clouds and white knights bright lights 
Shepherd to the edge of time’s not on my side 
I love the manic in your kind of crazy 
I’ll hold the line for you slide down the mine with you 
I love the manic in your you’re kind of crazy 
Sit back, step on the crack, get out of your tree & pick up the slack 
I love the manic in your kind of crazy 
I’ll hop the rails with you pick out a cell for two 
I love the manic in your you’re kind of crazy 
Stand down, running aground, hand me the rope before we drown 
Hopeless, discouraged, I dive with a flourish 
I’m constantly craving misbehaving 
Over the edge we fall 
I love the manic in your kind of crazy 
I’ll hold the line for you slide down the mine with you 
I love the manic in your you’re kind of crazy 
Sit back, step on the crack, get out of your tree and pick up the slack 
I love the manic in your kind of crazy 
I’ll hop the rails with you pick out a cell for two 
I love the manic in your you’re kind of crazy 
Stand down, running aground, hand me the rope before we drown 
Save me one more...time’s not on my side

Mannequin

One of the tracks written after my mother died. Having arguments with my brothers about stupid shit & realizing we're family no matter how much they can piss me off.

Grace falls 
Bitter luck 
Next time 
Games we play 
Pride, ascension, murder 
Line, correction, farther away 
My point being all is rust 
All is riot, always was 
My point being words are wasted on us 
His tree 
Her thing 
Cut to the chase and 
Make ends meet 
Pride, ascension, murdered us 
Miss Direction, Father Away 
My point being all is rust 
All is riot, always was 
My point being words are wasted on us 
My point being all is dust 
All is quiet, always was 
My point being words are wasted on us 
My point being words are wasted on us

My Point Being

A song about my eldest daughter when she was 10. The most amazing child who unfortunately at that age was going through a period of self doubt. Beautiful Failure was how she saw herself, not how I saw her.


Beautiful failure, sooner or later we’ll say so long 
Unusual stranger, counting the days until the tide runs out 
We’re winding down 
Hey as long as you can smile you’re alive 
Won’t you stay and just breathe for a while 
You’re a mile away 
Beautiful failure, growing in greater than the sum of your parting 
Goodbye familiar alien, huddled with strangers round the fire 
Escaping the cold, don’t cry 
Hey as long as you can smile you’re alive 
Won’t you stay and just breathe for a while 
You’re a mile away 
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall 
And down comes cradle baby and all 
Beautiful failure, bolder and brighter than the sails 
That take you away

Sleeper, lyrics by Chris Pendergraft

She sleeps the day away
as if the day had never came
A waits for something
that never will begin
So warm this summer morning
But the daylight 
never makes it in

Shadows 
fold up all the corners
like blankets 
that 
cover up the bed
The light out side 
is waiting
But you must rise
and let it in

Sleeper 
Dream this day away
Sleeper 
Nothing in this world 
Will change unless you wake
So warm this summer morning
But the daylight 
never makes it in

““Wanderlust” captures the energies of mystery, imagination and discovery. When truly being in nature, I take on the perspective of ultimately being a child of this Universe simply standing in awe of her wondrous capabilities as she moves through our complex interconnectedness.  The lyrics came in a flash while sitting atop my surfboard in beautiful Malibu.  The seductress mentioned in the chorus is Gaia for the earth, or Yemaya for the ocean.  In each moment she proudly shares the gifts of creation with us while asking us to truly be alive in every sense of the word.  Some moments just call for our undivided attention so get on that wave and trust without hesitation....
