Jūratėle,tu mano pati pati....ko aš nepadariau ,tu padarei...

With his eyes on fire and his heart ablaze, 
He goes looking for the flavor of his younger days.
Locked in a battle with the demon, time
He's an unfinished poem searching for a rhyme.
 As his life starts to unfold he questions why. 
“Am I doomed to just grow old and die?”

So he arms himself with an M.B.A.
BMW and PTA.
Over barbecue grills he poetically waxes
How he avoided paying income taxes.
His  ambitions starts a’gnawing his insides.
He’s so busy he can’t hear the voices cry.

You gotta live, you gotta try. You gotta soar, you gotta fly.
You gotta hope, you gotta pray. 
You gotta lend a helping hand to your brother every day. You gotta live.
 
 She’s climbing fast on the corporate ladder,
 If someone’s hurt, what does it matter?
And the motto she holds oh, so dear.
“Feel no mercy, show no fear.”
There’s no question that she’s gonna reach the  top,
But the question is, does   she know when to stop?

You gotta live, you gotta try. You gotta soar, you gotta fly.
You gotta hope, you gotta pray. 
You gotta lend a helping hand to your brother every day. You gotta live.
You gotta win, you gotta lose.  
You gotta make a lotta choices, and knowing when you choose,
You gotta smile through it all, ‘cause your
Family, they all need you, need you standing straight and tall. You gotta live.

You Gotta Live

Gravity is a piece about letting go and embracing change. Musicians always tell you that their latest music is the best they have ever written, so this might be unusual to hear, but this track is simultaneously my most and least favorite piece of music i have written in recent years.

A few months ago i had some pretty traumatic experiences that made me unable to focus on any creative work. When i finally sat down to make something, i didn't wanted to write anything significant or important, i only wanted to experiment with some new sounds and ideas. This piece was almost finished in a few hours. I wanted to widen the palette of the sounds i'm using, introducing new bass instruments, a new approach to create drum tracks and also trying out a i - bVII - i - ii chord progression, which i believe is extremely rare to find.

First i was hesitant to even share this one because i feel it is very generic and predictable in many ways, yet somehow it captured perfectly my state of mind after the wounds of last year. Sometimes you just have to accept that things change around you and stop hold on to your hurt feelings, so your mind and body can be at the same place again. Far from the place that pulls you down.
I am listening to it for weeks now and somehow feel better every time. It is a very strange adventure to me, but there you go...
