Won't Say Demo

This song is an ode to music--my biggest love in life, (besides family). It's also a way of celebrating all the facets to myself, however different than others. Instead of being self-critical, I am honoring the fact that I've never felt part of a unified identity. I believe the listener re-writes the message of the song the way they hear it in connection with their own life. I can only hope for you to enjoy it and connect with it.

When you make the best of what you have, the ugly along with the beautiful, regardless of the hardship, and stay true to your purity of intention- your seeds will eventually flower if you allow them to.

Following Keith’s table-setting discussion of sex and gender last month, in this episode we push even further into the front lines of the culture war skirmishes that have become so plentiful over the last several years. Corey deVos joins Keith to discuss how our notions of sex, gender, and identity apply to some of the most contentious and pressing issues of our time — gender education in schools, men’s rights issues, the banning of drag shows, trans people participating in sports, the availability of gender-affirming care for young people, the impact of social media on gender identity, and more.

In order to answer the question “what is a man” (or “what is a woman”), Keith and Corey carefully track sex, gender, and identity as fundamental aspects of the self that can exist in a state of fusion, differentiation, dissociation, or integration, depending on the developmental stage(s) the question is being asked from. This is one of the most common causes of conflict around this issue, as people have very different meanings of words like “gender”, which can refer to biology, identity, or the various social constructs we have inherited, depending on where we are in this sequence. Which is why, when it comes to the question of gender, people are constantly talking past each other, and why the conversation often stalls at the level of ideological doctrine and debate, which we see so often in the culture wars. How can we elevate the discussion into a more fruitful dialogue, discourse, and dialectic? By properly differentiating and integrating these factors into a more coherent vision of sex, gender, and identity.

In a world where these topics often generate more heat than light, our aim is to bring clarity, insight, and a spirit of inclusive dialogue to the conversation. Our focus, as always, is bringing our most integral hearts and minds to these conflicts, so that we can provide the greatest opportunities for happiness, fulfillment, and freedom of expression for the greatest number of people, while also minimizing harm and promoting understanding, empathy, and respect among all parties involved.

In That Metal Moment demo

mixed and mastered by: @mynameisjordy

sit down with me, we can talk this out
i go back to sleep when i'm feeling down
but you always knew how to get me out
of my head when i drown and my thoughts are too loud

now here i am in this empty room
nothing left but the memories of you
and i'm taking your notes off my wall
always thought you'd be around to catch me when i fall

i'm starting over fresh now
memories start to fade out
these walls are talking so loud
wonder if i'll ever get out of here

i miss you, i need you
you're not here, where are you?
in my head, it's cold here
it's dark and you're not near

i don't know where to go
so confused, last saw you
cold and lying there breathless
wish i told u i loved u

wish i told you i love you

I've been playing guitar and bass for over 40 years.
