Inside The Wheel

Move Forth With Care

Written, Performed, and Produced by Pauline Pisano
Recorded at Nightsound Studios In Carrborro NC 2017
Engineered by Meghan Puryear
Mixed By Chris Wimberly & Meghan Puryear
Mastered by A.J. Tissian from The Wave Lab NYC

Will be a part of the Nighsound Studio "download for donation" initiative where all proceeds go to a mental health clinic in N.C. 

The song's theme is about bravery and daring to cross stigmatized boundaries as individuals and as a community in order to find proper care for our collective emotional and physical spaces. Waiting for interference and/or interruptions from the powers that be seems futile, we as a community must venture forward and move towards collective healing. The movement towards community service comes from our inner compassion, not our inner doubt. Perhaps we can reach as far into ourselves as we can at any given moment and question our own set of rules that we abide our lives by. Are they ours? This is an uncomfortable journey, but anything close to the heart usually is. By going inward and honoring our own true sacred spaces maybe we can then reach out and honor and defend each other's sacred spaces around the globe. The song pulls from Thich Nhat Hanh's statement, "there is no way to healing, healing is the way."

Jubilee (I Heart David Graeber) LIVE IN STUDIO

Ring Of Fire (by June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore)

I'm pushing my big rock up this big hill 
I wonder how long till I spill all hope that I had left for you and me of finding any peace 

Are we broken? 
Are we breaking? 
Or simply changing our commander? 

I'm pushing my big rock up this big hill 
I wonder how long till we all fall down covered in the shame and in the doubt we'll ever make it out, 

Are we broken? 
Are we breaking? 
Or simply changing our commander? 
Are you waking to all that's shaping? 
Are you obeying their commands? 

Let it go 
Take your hands off and let it roll 
Let it go 
Find control by letting go 
Take your hands off and let it roll 
Let it go 
Find control 

Cause I am overwhelmed by how 
How you sold me ou 
And every time I think I'm sinking 
I'm living in your doubt 

Are we broken? 
Are we breaking? 
Are you changing your commander?

The Commander

GLORIA 
P. Pisano (2020) 
*Inspired by the writings of Gloria Anzaldua 

Let the wall of fear inside 
tumble 
tumble 
tumble down 
You are good enough 
Perfection is the latest cell 
We lock each other in 
In spite of evidence that suggests 
You and I connected 
You and I do best 
It’s time to realize the end is on its way. 
It’s time to redesign the power in this game. 

Let the hurricane inside 
turn you 
turn you 
turn you ‘round 
To new ways of knowing 
Who you are and what you’re of 
You’re secrets of the stars 
And you need love to survive. 
You’re freedom, 
You’re rebellion, 
You’re alive! 
It’s time to realize the end is on its way. 
It’s time to redesign the power in this game. 
It’s time to blur the lines and let each other in. 
It’s time to recognize the story in your hand. 

I feel the earth beneath me cry, 
“Take a chance 
Reach inside 
And tear down the walls inside 
Cause we’re all gonna fall if we don’t try." 
And I am here for just a second... 
It’s time to realize the end is on its way. 
It’s time to redesign the power in this game. 
It’s time to blur the lines and let each other in. 
It’s time to recognize the story in our hands. 

Let the earthquake inside form for you a different ground and wake
