At some point, a long time ago, I gave up on creating a "new" musical language. It was still possible, in the late nineteen eighties and early nineties when I came of age, for me to see music as a linear progression. In my early twenties I would compose pieces that I thought of as new jazz. Of course they weren't. Just very individual songs in older styles with some ideas for other styles. A dash of Duke Ellington arraignment, a snippet of Monk perhaps a teaspoon of Syd Barrett mixed with some rock and roll harmony. Eventually, after a long pause in playing at all, I came to make music, I see as, more in line with the pop artists like Warhol and, especially Lichtenstein. My own musical ideas are still there but slyly inserted into pieces that are consciously, imprecisely, modeled on other works or styles. Anyway I went to see the new version of West Side Story with my wife the other day. The original show made right before that "pop" era. It was so sincere. No irony with an honest attempt to bring musical theater "forward". I so enjoyed it even if it's a bit middle brow Americana. I'm writing this description in hopes of being equally sincere. The melody borrows a bit of "Somewhere" as a tip of the hat. I hope. My big musical ideas, besides that, are as follows. The key may sound a bit vague at times but floats between B major, E major and A major so that classic one four five, if somewhat buried. the time signature changes a few times, briefly, and syncopates when it doesn't. There's the Syd Barrett influence for those keeping score. There's also some willful changes from major to minor in the harmony that are classic rock ideas. Even if, in this context, they eventually become key changes. Well that's enough sincerity. Oh except for the photo. It's Miss Place. My wife maiden name and me back when I would have written something like this. ;)

Once upon a time
Once upon a times
Once upon a half time 

What do I find?
What is my sign?
What about the map
That he mapped out?

What about the track
That he tracked out?

And what about the pact 
That he passed down?

It's my time
Light to let go shine
We go follow - follow

Run through the city 
In a fire
On a wind
Find the Holy Ones
The King won't leave behind
Call upon the Mountains
On the Oaks
On the Sea
In the North the waters
Gather to preside

Lord of the Sign
Lord of the Mind
King of the Mountain Rock

Lord of the Vine
Lord of the Kingdom
And Shepherd of Israel's flock

What is my name?
What is my pain - 
Pray tell me, 
What is my end game?

What is my name? 
What is my unction?
Lord tell me,
What's my function?

Listen I'm a little witness
Spiritual thickness
Hot cross buns on a biscuit
Bitter herbs and lamb brisket
Mark on the door
Looking forward to the mark, but they missed it..
Listen
I'm on the prairie
Farmer in the dell
Like Hi-ho, the Dairy - oh
Austere
Speak no fear
When you hear my voice run turn up the stereo

Run through the city 
In a fire
On a wind
Find the Holy Ones
The King won't leave behind
Call upon the Mountains
On the Oaks
On the Sea
In the North the waters
Gather to preside 

Once upon a time
Once upon a times
Once upon a half time

What do I find?
What is my sign?
What about the map
That he mapped out?

What about the track
That he tracked out?

And what about the pact 
That he passed down?

It's my time
Light to let go shine
We go follow - follow

Run through the city 
In a fire
On a wind
Find the Holy Ones
The King won't leave behind
Call upon the Mountains
On the Oaks
On the Sea
In the North the waters
Gather to preside

Look, I'm an oddity
An anomaly...
Forged in the fire of the drama and the comedy
A Poet prodigy
And no apologies
One thing visibly 
Another thing audibly
Flesh bodily
Divine progeny 
My voice another vision of the odyssey
"Why you always talk of Temple and Astronomy?
Why you always go and make it harder than it ought to be?"

I don't want to give in to the enemy
I don't ever want to be deceived 
Not even accidentally
I don't want to give in to the dark
I don't want to turn my head when I hear the dogs bark
I don't want to move from the path
I don't want to be unclean when he comes in His Wrath
I don't want to miss this chance
We're living in the Last Days
Come the Lord for to dance

Run through the city 
In a fire
On a wind
Find the Holy Ones
The King won't leave behind
Call upon the Mountains
On the Oaks
On the Sea
In the North the waters
Gather to preside 

Once upon a time
Once upon a times
Once upon a half time

What do I find?
What is my sign?
What about the map
That he mapped out?

What about the track
That he tracked out?

And what about the pact 
That he passed down?

It's my time
Light to let go shine
We go follow - follow

Run through the city 
In a fire
On a wind
Find the Holy Ones
The King won't leave behind
Call upon the Mountains
On the Oaks
On the Sea
In the North the waters
Gather to preside

Invitation
By Leiland

Listen to the Word
Harken to the invitation
Listen to the words
Quick now before  the conflagration 

Back into the days
Back when it was ancient
Walk on the cobbled stone and not pavement
One stone from the sling of the David - and 
Down falls the Giant but not without payment
I'll say it 
Some of y'all already know it
I'm a Latter-day psalmist harvest I'm a poet
I can flow it - I stow it and bring it down
Put a little bit of heaven into every bit of sound
I'm a lower light that sometimes be dim
With the dim light caused by the times when I sin
I'm a wildling among the Halls of Amenti
Eternal flame where oil is never empty 
I see the vision where the totem is ascending 
An Ensign to all - in all -  I'm just venting
I'm not 'sus' 
I'm just one among us
I'm just leaving a record of my own that won't rust

I'm a little 2Pac
And lot of Jeremiah
I can sing with the sons of Alma and Mosiah
I'm a sinner
Seeking daily, repentance 
Friend of the Holy Ghost
Lord be my vengeance!  
Now
I invite you to bow
When the horn blasts long and loud
Come up to the top of the Mount
Come hear and to see what the Lord has avowed!   
You are in but not of the world
You've got to lose your own to gain the Father's Pearl
White stone - like heart that is pure 
Willing on the Cross 
Is the Man with the CURE
Now
I invite you to die
In the waters of the King of the Sky  
Rise up to a brand new life
Reborn in the Name of the Son on High 

Listen to the Word
Harken to the invitation
Listen to the words
Quick now before  the conflagration 

Back to the Path
Let's get back to work
So much to do 
Before I go back to the dirt
I exert - work - faith in the Word
There is so much to happen
Before we're bound to this Earth right

So much to lose 
Too much to gamble 
Living in the flesh 
Caught up in the scandal
Fall
We lost Eden to ascend
And if Eve hadn't eaten
Then no Savior would He send

Hold up - it was the plan from the start
And foreordained, The Deliverer of Heart

Hold up - there was a plan that was laid
A Son who was Chosen as a Lamb to be slain

Hold up - The Messiah descends
To lift up the captives and bodies again
My KING! Over Heaven and Earth!
Bridge the gap over death and the serpent!   

I'm a little 2Pac
And lot of Jeremiah
I can sing with the sons of Alma and Mosiah
I'm a sinner
Seeking daily, repentance 
Friend of the Holy Ghost
Lord be my vengeance!  
Now
I invite you to bow
When the horn blasts long and loud
Come up to the top of the Mount
Come hear and to see what the Lord has avowed!   
You are in but not of the world
You've got to lose your own to gain the Father's Pearl
White stone - like heart that is pure 
Willing on the Cross 
Is the Man with the CURE
Now
I invite you to die
In the waters of the King of the Sky  
Rise up to a brand new life
Reborn in the Name of the Son on High 

Listen to the Word
Harken to the invitation
Listen to the words
Quick now before  the conflagration
