More Jazzy Jazz (TFA Remix)

Humanoid - Third Phase of Life

Poetic Landscape pt.3

Daydream

A simple, rather loose, jazz ensemble, and a simple message.
It seems as though the social and political turbulence is much like trying to paddle your own canoe - it's going to get rough and it will feel as though hope is lost, but don't stop and don't despair. Hope Floats.

The song was originally intended as a relationship muse, where two people are supposed to be paddling, together, in the same direction, but the boat keeps turning 'round and 'round. It takes courage to realize you can only control your own paddle and how you use it. It can be overwhelming and daunting, at times, and you may be inclined to abandon ship: don't.

Lyrics:

I got my paddle in the water, 
I'm paddling with all I've got
The bow is sinking slowly, 
Glanced off a rock.
And i'm startin' to sink down into the water
Losin' myself in the current,
Goin' down, down, goin' down,
Lord help me I'm goin', goin' ,goin',  down

(instrumental break)

I got a bucket in the water
I'm bailin' but it's not enough, no.
The water's slowly risin'
And I'm runnin' out of luck.
And I'm startin' to sink down into the water
Losin' myself in the current
Goin' down, down, goin' down,
Lord help me, I'm goin', goin' down,
I'm goin' down.

A very special thank you to Alejandro Venegas for playing these great drums. Later on he mixed and mastered it, he also provided this picture. It was a great pleasure to write and sing along, a Big Thank You for that…

Oh,
Wait
Is it already that late ?
And we still hesitate
Let us concentrate…
Let ’s collaborate…
Yeah…
Seriously…
This is supposed to be 
Just another love song
But 
We cannot sort out heart from mind, 
And that won’t be different this time

And with  .4 k per second
Just spinning around ourselves

No giggling please…
Fasten your deep senses
This is a far flight
And it’s only one-way…

Let us concentrate - ah -
Here today
There is no escape…

No giggling please…
Let’s collaborate…
This is supposed to be 
Just another love song
We won’t sort out heart from mind
And that won’t be different this time

And with 3.2 k per second, 
Ahaa, ahaa…
Circling around the sun
Ohh,
No giggling please…
Fasten your deep senses
This is a far flight
And it’s only one-way…
It’s only one way…
One way-y-y-y-y-y-y-y…yeah…

So many lovesongs have been sung
So why again now a further one ?
Because it must not be left undone
Cannot leave it undone
Just cannot leave it undone…

Ohh,
There are turbulences

No joking please
There is trouble ahead
Hitting the unprepared -
Ohh, this is a hard way…

While we float
With some 30 k/s 
Around the milky way
And other hundreds of k/s
Trundling other ways
Within a thousand days
That is quite a stray
Even if you don’t move a single hoof…

No giggling please
This is supposed to be another love song
No joking please
This is a far flight
No giggling please
This is a heart’s way
And it’s only…
It's only one-way,
It's only one way…

Lyrics
Let's let reason role in
Critical thought now, only!
Multiple sources
Knowledge clean
Societies scientific dream
Reason, please.
Our scientific dream...

You're lost in politics
Why with such a strange bunch of bollix's
Boxed thought
Lies, with minds in survival mode
Poking "their" other side
Not in my life!
Not on my Earth!
Not in this Sol system
Found out with children's worth


This song pines the need for humanity to fully embrace science and real reason especially in the face of modern political influence and it's relative lies and source as an insular disease for individuals.

Politics like anything is a science and with a humanity that embraces science first for everything which in my view it should, then we as individuals need to start reasoning the world properly from all sources... We can only then formulate opinions properly on important subjects and then we as individuals can see through the leaders that lie their way to political power. Only when we ourselves see our real truth (found with proper research and CRITICAL thought) do we see through the lies of others...
The disease is settling for one opinion that confirms your own bias that you want to be true because you believe it to be. That's not scientific. That's a cult
