So I was watching this music video and it was this cruising song and I got into the feel of it - but my lyrics were a country laid back rock blues track and here it is. It turns out driving long roads is meditation and therapy for many of us. 

Cruising The Long Roads Lyrics 

Why do I like driving
Long country roads
Leave hustle and striving
For the chilled mode?
Life is funny like that
One minute you want action
Then you just want to relax
Do absolutely nothing
 
Am I cutting ’n running
Or am I balancing?
I just don’t care anymore
That’s for damn sure
One breakup too many
Lost enough of my pennies
Grasslands and farmlands
Are better than quicksand
 
Cruising the long roads
Soothing this soul just fine
Unloading mental loads
Ending troubled mind
 
Cruising the long roads
Thoughts getting slowed
The past getting left behind
Winning back my time
Cruising the long roads
Cruising the long roads
Oh yeah
 
Pull up for fuel
Top it up from half—my rule
So done with stress
Tapping out for the rest
Everything so still
Except for a lovely lady
Okay, she’s smilin’ ’n lookin’
And she ain’t bad lookin’
 
Is that a Prada bag?
I’d call that a red flag
I don’t need the drama
Hit the road again with rubber
Old head here wised up
Going for the simple life
Less is more than enough
I’m a keep-it-simple-stupid type
 
Cruising the long roads
Soothing this soul just fine
Unloading mental loads
Ending troubled mind
 
Cruising the long roads
Thoughts getting slowed
The past getting left behind
Winning back my time
Cruising the long roads
Cruising the long roads
Oh yeah
 
What is going on here?
A lone traveller in need
Am I driving on past?
Or am I repeating the past?
A lone traveller in need
Is this what it seems?
Gotta keep the kindness
Refuse to be heartless
 
Cruising the long roads
An extra G in the glove box
I am totally stoked
Call that a kindness jackpot
 
Cruising while it’s snowing
Thoughts keep slowing
The past a distant memory
As I enter adventure territory
Cruising the long roads
Cruising the long roads
Cruising the long roads
Oh yeah

Driving for seasons
For my good reasons
Beyond the rolling hills
Onto the orchard fields 
I hope they’ve got peaches 
Mmmm peaches

Cruising The Long Roads

After being approached about the red pilling movement and how its harming people, causing toxic masculinity, I decided a song might be a good way to express my experiences with the red and blue pill choices we make and how elusive that red pill really is. To think you have been red pilled and then hold onto the new ideology you have awakened into is just another wave of co-opting you out of your critical thinking. Anyway, the song is a lot more fun explaining it lol 

Red Pilled Lyrics

Well look at you 
Waking all up 
Seeing through the lies 
Getting unstuck
Aren’t you proud 
You’re no longer played? 
You’re the boss now
Out of the maze

Lived with no mojo 
For way too long 
Pushed to be passive 
Something felt wrong 
You got clear 
Shook off your fear 
Wielding righteousness 
Word warrior is here

Red pilled (To the truth) 
Red pilled (From who’s playing you) 
Red pilled (Out of the blue) 
Red pilled (Red pilled)

You were all bad 
Now you’re all good 
Before, you did nothing right 
Now, you make the mood
Preaching high 
What you knows 
You are the light 
Exposing the foes

Lived with no mojo 
For way too long 
Pushed to be passive 
Something felt wrong 
You got clear 
Shook off your fear 
Wielding righteousness 
Word warrior is here

Red pilled (To the truth) 
Red pilled (From who’s playing you) 
Red pilled (Out of the blue) 
Red pilled (Red pilled)

What if I told you 
The blue pill reclaimed you?
Russian doll layers 
Kept you in the game 
There you go 
Defending again 
Wings of the same bird 
Keeping you tamed ‘n lame

Truth has no destination 
It’s a humble pursuit 
When you stop asking questions 
You’re under the boot 
Dogma traps in absolutes 
Red pill exposes 
The cult convolutes

Lived with no mojo 
For way too long 
Pushed to aggression 
What’s going on?
You got pseudo clear 
Swung to cocky from fear 
Expecting righteousness 
To become your key

Red pilled (Re see the truth) 
Red pilled (Both sides playing you) 
Red pilled (For endless blues) 
Red pilled (To think it through)

Can we pay more attention
For the details to see? 
Those not listenin'
Are feeding the fear 
There’s opportunity here 
To red pill the red pills 
Of the blue guru mill
What a head fill


[Chorus]
Red pilled (Re see the truth) 
Red pilled (Both sides playin’ you) 
Red pilled (For endless blues) 
Red Pilled

Red Pilled

The lyrics i about the strange situation in the world.  World leaders acting like spoiled kids.

Gathering Storm

These days, you have to question how divided we are - it's as if the internet and social media have connected and divided us at the same time - into two core tribes on politics and other heated topics. The socialist side and the individual freedom side is a major one - as if both sides are not both critical to the way we have to be to ensure life is balanced and fulfilling. 

So I wrote this song because having good points on both sides is not enough - being right is not enough - because if you demonise the opposing side, it gets very ugly and can be fatal. We can do so much better than that but we are not getting there yet. 

Dead Right Lyrics 

Listening to you
I get real impressed
Your passion, conviction
Is simply the best
You debate ideas
With no fear
Eager to reach
Their angry tears

There’s just one thing
I wished was better known
That holding space
With a softer tone
Could land our views
Beyond the red hot zone
To cool down (Cool down)
The cold blue zone

To those most captured
Desperate for validation
Trained to hate
With reckless retaliation
Where pearls do land
Upon fearful swine
Who lost the grace
To keep an open mind

There’s just one thing
I wished was better known
That holding space
With a softer tone
Could land our views
Beyond the red hot zone
To cool down (Cool down)
The cold blue zone

What’s the point of a view
If stabbed in the ears
When the message is love
Not more reasons to fear 
What’s the point of truth
When they feel the heat
Not the warmth of love
To hold them dear 
You’re dead right
But we wanted you alive
To continue the mission
Opening hearts ’n minds
You are dead right
We still grieve
You deserved understanding
Shuffling closer, the feet

Dead right (Dead right)
Dead right (Dead right)
Dead right (Dead right)
Dead right (Dead right)
Dead right

I loved you so much
For the courage you showed
Your faith infectious
Your yearning to know
Too good to lose
Too early - too soon
If only we knew
The darkness was imminent
We could have
Better protected you

There’s just one thing
I wished was better known
That holding space
With a softer tone
Could land our views
Beyond the red hot zone
To the darkened spirits
Restore their hopes

What’s the point of a view
If stabbed in the ears
When the message is love
Not more reasons to fear 
What’s the point of truth
When they feel the heat
Not the warmth of love
To hold them dear 
You’re dead right
But we wanted you alive
To continue the mission
Opening hearts ’n minds
You are dead right
We still grieve
You deserved understanding
Shuffling closer, the feet

Dead right (Dead right)
Dead right (Dead right)
Dead right (Dead right)
Dead right

I cannot blame you
You were doing your best
With what you had
Now laid to rest
Can enough of the world
Finally stop
Take a step back
Locate the rot?

What’s the point of a view
If stabbed in the ears
When the message is love
Not more reasons to fear 
What’s the point of truth
When they feel the heat
Not the warmth of love
To hold them dear 
You’re dead right
But we wanted you alive
To continue the mission
Opening hearts ’n minds
You are dead right
We still grieve
You deserved understanding
Shuffling closer, the feet

Dead right (Dead right)
Dead right (Dead right)
Dead right (Dead right)
Dead right (Dead right)
Dead right (Dead right)

Maybe dead right
About the things
In shadows, unspoken
Power broker spins
Playing both sides
Dividing too far
Shooting earth angels
Back into stars

Dead right (Dead right)
Dead right 
Being dead right
Is not enough
If we want to open
Hearts ’n minds
Bridge the divide
End power games 
End the lies

Being dead right
Is not enough
If we want to open
Hearts ’n minds
Bridge the divide
End power games 
End the lies

Dead Right

If you had just one job to do - what do you think it actually is? It took me decades to figure it out and here it is, laid out with rhythm and rhyme for your heart and mind :) 

Adapt Lyrics 

(Do it, do it) 
(Do it, do it) 
Just do it 
(Do it, do it, do it) 
(Do it, do it) 
Just do it 
(Do it, do it, do it) 
(Do it, do it) 
Just do it 
(Do it, do it, do it) 
(Do it, do it) 

I tolerated the stuck 
My life totally sucked
Where was the fun?
Then one day I was done 
The chaos of constant change 
Kept me in the game 
By the rapid reframe
Adapter G became my name

I had one job 
Just one job to do 
Check how I view it
Challenge how I do it

Adapt, adapt (Adapt)
Re-frame, re-frame (Re-frame)
Adapt, adapt (Adapt)
That’s how my power came back

Years 'n years of fixed mindset 
Oblivious to my fate 
Running from my dreams 
Shrinking from violent hate 
You didn’t see me 
You couldn’t free me 
I smiled and laughed 
Camouflage - the craft 
In a bully world 
That taught me to hide 
With ivory tower lip service 
Who claimed the class 
To sell shonky lessons 
As the education task 
Locking up my mind 
Slavery system masked

I had one job 
Just one job to do 
Check how I view it
Challenge how I do it

Adapt, adapt (Adapt)
Re-frame, re-frame (Re-frame)
Adapt, adapt (Adapt)
That’s how my power came back

Adapt, adapt (Adapt)
Re-frame, re-frame (Re-frame)
Adapt, adapt (Adapt)
That’s how my power came back

Did I ask for 10 steps back 
Before my very first step?
Maybe I did for the thrill
Did my higher self 
Place a bet on me?
That I could conquer 
The impossible 
Learning to be responsible?

Be like water - take the shape 
Of each form that liberates 
Be like fire - blaze the way 
Live on purpose everyday 
(Yeah, ooh yeah) 
I am the constant - designed to change 
Into new reality lanes
Unlimited worth stays the same 
Everything else is a lover’s game

With that one job 
That one job to do 
Check how I view it
Challenge how I do it

Then just do it 
(Do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it)
Just do it
(Do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it)
Just do it
(Do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it)
Just do it
(Do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it)

Adapt, adapt (Adapt)
Re-frame, re-frame (Re-frame)
Adapt, adapt (Adapt)
That’s how my power came back

Adapt, adapt (Adapt)
Re-frame, re-frame (Re-frame)
Adapt, adapt (Adapt)
That’s how my power came back

Just do it 
(Do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it)
Just do it
(Do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it)
Just do it
(Do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it)
Just do it
(Do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it)

I'm generating the soundtrack of my own life, one day and one track at a time. Yes, I'm using AI to translate my lyrics into music but I see it as just an exciting and new instrument to add to the repertoire. Ultimately, I'd rather listen to something personal than the artificial songs pushed by the mainstream media. At least these songs connect to me. I hope they connect to you, too, and if they do then it really doesn't matter how they get generated, does it?

If you see me passing through the algorithm please feel free to say g'day.

Reach out if you listen to the song and like it. If you like it then please repost and share it with other people who may also like it. 

I also like coffee, so... Cheers.
