Description: trying not to be constantly disappointed had me constantly resetting my expectations...

Final 2001 line up of Epstein's Mother with the new influence of Mr. Christian Brady on guitar/vocals, Geoff Neuman on bass, Chris Morrison on drums, and Sharay Larsen on vocals...being in this band didn't suck! Unfortunately, this was the last we ever recorded/last song I wrote for the band, my dad had died, marriage had ended, and we disbanded in September of 2001 :-(

Remedy

Never really decided on an official title?!?!?!
Justin Carder was generous enough to share his musical, songwriting, and vocal prowess along with recording/mixing this song the Oniya team wrote together during a retreat in September of 2021.
Collaborators include Nykole Holmes, Nick Ucherek, Karla Aus, Jesse Grandy, Caroline Ciocca, Tracy Daynes, Michael Romane, Kristi Overgaard and Shawn Eiferman.
Oh, Oh, Ohm...ONIYA!

Trippin' through the years, I found myself here
This is where I stop to breathe
Underneath the trees, came to face any fear
Something comes to mind, now I can leave it all behind
As I watch an ass grazing on the grass,
I start to get that the reflection is actually mine
Hey maybe grass could be greener
Maybe I could become a better dreamer
I’ve only seen magic like this before in my mind
Now it is here, the beauty, the magic…the healing kind.
Deer, dogs, frogs and a cat
Oniya braids the trees, clouds, wind and water
Manes and tails, they never fail to remind me where I am at
I learned to feel it in my heart,
And now I feel free…maybe for the first time
Montana taught me how to be me…maybe for the first time
I put the past on the shelf, I’ve been way too hard on myself…for the last time.
Butterflies in the tree reflect the butterflies in me
Those stars in the sky reflect the stars we all refuse to see
They’ve always been here and now I do see it for the 1st time
I’ve never been here before but now I am a part of it,
It is part of me...For all time!
Oh, Oh, Ohm...ONIYA!

***Indigo Suade***

the song we hear when when we close our and see the vision of our tiny home concept in north carolina on the land we just bought...
words and music inspired and written by 
jax budde

shawn eiferman

the wind blows through the trees
like time has flown right by me
but inside these walls, i sit still
and time seems to freeze

i think back to my old life
and wonder why it took so long
she showed up and filled my cup
and now we belong in this..

(chorus)
dream life! better than i knew
this life! me and you
threw the dice! and the fantasy came true
now it's "our" life! just me and you

this river runs last my soul
while we sit still
the tire swings and his laughter brings
the freedom we now feel

song birds sing and i can hear
new meaning to our rings

(chorus)

(bridge)
the flames throw shadows
what was dark now is light
silhouettes with no regrets
scatter into the night

after all this time
after all these miles
and all these trials
i finally found where i belong!

(chorus)
