The Do-Song
from the song-cycle "Sei ein Mann..." (Be a man...)

Text and Music by Sam Penderbayne
Voice: Oliver Boyd / Piano: Linda Leine

The song is about all the different things to do in life, as a way to help discover ones masculinity. So long as it doesn't involve suppressing other people: do your thing!

Lyrics:

Cut, trim, weed, grow, dig, plant, rip, sow, tie, pour, feed, spray, pick, water and mulch, 
then watch it grow!

Listen, talk, read, write, comment, hear, see, feel, think, share, reflect, compare, start, finish, again 
and lose yourself.
(Read it again and again and again and again and again!)

Jump, pass, kick, throw, box, shoot, catch, foul, call, shout, turn, watch, miss, smile and laugh and feel alive.

Flirt, kiss, hug, touch, whisper, talk, cuddle and hold, feel, sense, understand
Make love not war.

Mow, trim, weed, grow, read, write, think, share, flirt, kiss, hug, touch:
Whatever it is 
- as long as it doesn't involve suppressing and dominating other people -
Do your thing!

The Do Song (aus Sei ein Mann...)

The Village
from the song-cycle "Sei ein Mann..." (Be a man...)

Text and Music by Sam Penderbayne
Voice: Oliver Boyd / Piano: Linda Leine

The piece is about the necessity for men to communicate: with each other, with their partners and family, with their whole village. The musical idea is based on the idea that a phone or video-call is ringing, waiting to be picked up.

Lyrics:

Pick up. Come online. I've got something to ask you.
How's your work going?
What's on this weekend?
If you want: Come around.
This is the brother song, 
someone to call on.
Call on him, 
pick it up when it rings.

Son, how's it going?
Is there anything you want to tell me?
I'm here for you, if you need me.
Talk to me if you want to,
You know that I love you.
And this is the father song,
A job lifelong.
I'll be there,
Anytime, anywhere.

Darling, I'm sorry, 
I've been distant,
I'll try harder, 
You mean the world to me.
And so this is the lover's song,
something special for the one.
You and I, all of you, all of me.

Teachers, preachers, thinkers, doers, planners, builders, helpers, healers, talkers, dealers, settlers, seeders, deducers, concluders, explorers, restorers, the hunters, confronters, and counters, recounters, and finders, dividers, the dealers and talkers, and buyers, suppliers, the readers and writers, and showers, and knowers, the rankers, and strikers, agreers, forsee-ers, and carers, preparers, repairers, beware-ers,

Well this is your song:
One to belong.
