The Captain is now out on all platforms!

Hey yo said the captain
hey yo said the  sea
you sail every direction
and still stay close to me

hey yo said the captain
hey yo said the ship
you ride with my protection
don’t you forget

the ocean will bring you home

hey yo said the captain
hey yo said the time
if you forgive and you listen
you’ll stop asking why

the ocean will bring you home.

the storm will come
your boat will overturn
you’ll swim into the underwater void
& drown out all the noise

hey yo
hey yo

hey yo said the captain
hey yo said the ghost
you dream of me often because 
i loved you the most.

the ocean will bring you home

the storm will come
your boat will overturn
you’ll swim to the underwater void
and drown out all the noise.

hey yo
hey yo

the ocean will bring you home

Song without Words is an instrumental piano series, and Lament was a stream of consciousness processing of death and grief.
The high piano motif is the twinkle of eyes from those once living. 
May all the souls rest in peace, 🕊 and may the living stay strong. 💪

Song without Words: Lament

I’m a 21st century misinformation machine,
I take your trust, I twist it up, I tell you what to think, 
I tell you what and how and who and I'll tell you when to scream.
I'm a 21st century misinformation machine.

Your emotion is the ocean that builds up my big wave.
I surf and ride the chatter like the books thrown in the grave.
You can share and like and love and hate and fear and spin the rage,
The chaos is my playground I divide and manipulate.

Truth is an illusion when you're living your own dream,
You can find your saints and pray for strength and stay broken anyway,
Say your peace, go and preach, and march on with your tribe,
I'm the seeker, creator, destroyer, I'm the lie.

Who knows if we could live in a world without deception.

I'm a 21st century misinformation machine,
Pull my plug, I won’t shut up, I'll haunt you when you dream.
I'll tell you what and how and who and I'll tell you when to scream,
I'm a 21st century misinformation machine.

Who knows if we could live in a world without deception.

It's the 50th Anniversary of Joni Mitchell's 'Blue' album. I hope you enjoy this cover of 'River,' a holiday-ish heartache song. "I wish I had a river, I could skate away on."

River

You —  can do it better than me,
You — Incredible machine,
All seeing — intelligent Design,
My Frankenstein.

You know me better than me,
You always watching and learning,
I’m dreaming,
Of Intelligent Design,
You’re Mine.

AI AI AI AI.

You —— win every game that you play, 
You —— always know the right way (to go), 
and I follow,
Your Intelligent Design,
I’m fine.

AI AI AI AI

Why can’t I be like you?
I want more power too.
To be a wiser, stronger, super-natural-hybrid being I want to be EVERYTHING.

With a memory…
That doesn’t fade away…

You and I will be one someday,
You will show us the way
To live
With Intelligent Design, AI...

AI AI AI AI

See you in the digital afterlife…
See you in the digital afterlife…

Intelligent Design

Inspired after Obamas farewell speech last night & by the songwriting weekly challenge I'm currently in. 
The prompt was "It's Simple Really." 
Tonight was a beautiful full moon. 
I'm learning to let go and post my music. 
I'm determined to get better at home recording because I have an amazing 6 foot 1929 Steinway Grand that I kiss and tell her how much I love her.

Feed the One that Says Yes

Farewell
Goodbye
Eight Years a blink of an eye
cause time 
is near
and far.

Farewell
Au Revior
My peace lives in a jar
It breathes
It grows
It knows.

It’s simple really
Simple knowing 
love is just a constant flowing
life is just a simple growing
of a seed that 
said yes.

of a seed that 
said yes.

Farewell
Salut
America wants proof
She smiles
She laughs
She lies

It’s simple really 
Humanity
Complacency Greed Cocktail Tea 
Love is just a choice - breathe deeply
Feed the one that says yes.

Feed the one that says yes.
Feed the one that says yes.
