He Heard You Love Me

This one started with Tom Waits, saying "There's no Prayer Like Desire". 

And then, I thought... 
"Truth is NOT found in WHO powers the light, not who we know or like, who won the fight, it’s not about who is good looking, sweet talking, crowd pleasing, or even award winning… truth is WHO about we believe in. Truth is NOT about WHAT we happen to believe in… truth is not what the preachers, saints, or sinners may say, whisper or scream. It’s not what we do that matters, truth is not about what book we choose to read into, it’s what songs we like to sing, or what tales we like share, or what false promises make us linger. Truth is not HOW or WHEN or WHERE we like to dance. It’s not about HOW one delivers an act of faith between two breaths, it’s now HOW others translate where it came from, when they can even fathom, it’s not about where the will to trust old words wisdom leads us, not how we preach along Leviticus or even Confucius.
The truth that matters, the only truth I care about is WHY. It is the truth that never lies, because it lies deep inside one’s heart desires. It is why we choose to join the dance, why we break into a trance, why we find balance, why we care to dare bare the lore of lies untold. Truth is the soul that fuels the bold, the brave, it is the fire that burns in one’s true heart’s desire, the only prayer that shines like it’s divine. Truth is the beat of intimate intentions, the pulse of our deepest motivations, the seed of true  salvation. The truth is the only truth that matters is raw, it’s the reason WHY we love to share, WHY we dare to be in the bare, WHY we hope to win, why we pray we live. Because there’s no prayer like desire."

And then, I wrote several short (unreleased) KNOWsutra But(t) Why songs, all titled "There's No Prayer Like Desire"... this is one 'em.

[verse 1]
Not who powers the light,
Not who wins the fight,
It’s the song in the air,
And the love that we dare.

[verse 2]
Truth lies in the why,
In the tears when we cry,
Not what we preach or believe,
But what we feel and receive.

[chorus]
There’s no prayer like desire,
It’s what lights the fire,
It’s not the book we read,
But the hunger that we feed.


[04] The Fire We Share • There's No Prayer Like Desire • KNOWsutra But(t) Why Accordion Chanson BURLESQUE

17 tracks of high-energy intellectualism. 'The Karl Marx Sessions' takes the frantic energy of 1940s Bebop and fuses it with the revolutionary theory of the 19th century. Just as Parker and Gillespie broke the rules of musical structure, Karl Marx broke the rules of economic thought. From the fast-paced 'The Air' to the complex changes of 'The Ensemble,' this is the sound of the dialectic in motion

For this track I've gone back to my blues roots. The solo starts off very clean but soon descends into anarchy. The name of the preset I used on my guitar pedal is 'Bonamassa' that should tell you all you need to know! Seriously, the wah wah Rock Blues thing is how I used to do it. So now I have proven I still can get down mean and dirtay. All Blues is classic Miles Davis first appearing on the influential 1959 Columbia album Kind of Blue.
