Georgia's Theme_Ginny & Georgia

my mom used to say "Love is always there; it's just we who aren't." my favorite line in this song, which i had been saying to myself for a couple years before it ever became a song, is "it can change in an instant." 

i wrote this song and brought it to Corky James, who in the context of his trying to give me a mainstream appeal, encouraged me to add a "pop chorus," which we recorded for the EP we were making together. a year later, when i finally embarked on the liberating process of officially making this record, i brought the song to my friend, the brilliant songwriter Marvin Etzione to help me hone, and he said to me "not every song needs a pop chorus," and he encouraged me to take it back to its original simplicity. we jammed around the simple chords and i wrote the little instrumental line; slightly asian, (later i was informed that it was also slightly Lennon), and we recorded the whole song live in the last 20 minutes of an hour session with amazing cellist Martin Tillman (my band mate in a side project called Triptych), in which we also recorded the cello on "Children of Babylon", and the wicked distorted cello intro on "Cant Give Everything".

The Promised Land (featuring George Clinton and Pharoah Sanders)

The Promised Land (feat. George Clinton & Pharoah Sanders)

This tune was inspired by Joseph Campbell's Power of Myth, in which he describes a woman who dreamt of herself laying on a bed of rocks. Inside these rocks was locked all her treasure.  Campbell explained that as she opened up her heart, she began to dream of the treasure pouring out of the rocks.  I began to imagine the gold inside me pouring out into a Sea of Gold, a kind of primordial soup, where all life and creativity is born, where we all connect.

SEA OF GOLD

This beat up Ford
Don’t drive no more
This blue dress
Tattered and torn
This bayonette and crooked sword
Wont take me where I’m headed for
I’m dreaming of a 
Sea of gold for everyone
Sea of gold in the sun
Sea of gold big enough to carry us to the Big Love

There’s treasure here 
In this chest of mine
So much to give
Behind these eyes
Sisters of Song
Lay your hands on me
Melt away
What I don’t need
I’m dreaming of a 
Sea of gold for everyone
Sea of gold in the sun
Sea of gold big enough to carry us to the Big Love

Ain't Like it Used to Be (Main Title)

i first saw P-Funk in 1995, and watching Micheal Hampton play the solo on Maggot Brain blew my mind. i thought, "that's what i wanna do!" and i finally got to play the song with the funk mob at the House of Blues a few years ago and it made me cry, it was such a powerful experience for me. in fact i cried every time i played or heard it, and i kept playing it with P-Funk on the road and ended up creating an arrangement of it with Double G, the mastermind of the DaKah Hip Hop Orchestra. we performed it at Disney Hall and the Hollywood Bowl before we recorded it at Capitol Records studio, where Frank Sinatra and the Beatles recorded. the recording was funded by the great activist and entertainment guru Norman Lear, who upon hearing it at Disney Hall offered to help me, no strings attached (and no pun intended). when i got to make "Place Between Places" i just knew Maggot Brain had to be on. it's been covered by Jeff Beck, Santana, Mike Watt, Buckethead, to name a few guitar heroes, but i feel it in my way, and i'm so glad i finally get to share it on this record.
