Feels Like Heaven (Bounce)

Life as a Gen X Dad
...
Woke up this morning to the sound of my phone
Son’s got a problem, can’t solve it alone
Daughter’s boyfriend acting shady again
But the twins made me laugh, so it’s really a win
Grabbed my coffee, turned the news on mute
World’s still a mess, but my day is a beaut
Growing up, I gave them all that I knew
Some days they remember, some days its brand new
...
Gen X dad, always holding it together
Some Grayer hair, but I’m tougher than leather
Worry ‘bout my kids, it’s part of the deal
You never stop watching, and thats the real
Love ya to death, but don’t test my nerves
Being a Gen X dad takes guts and reserve
...
Daughter’s new guy? Yeah, I may know a remedy
The options are limited, I won't catch a felony
Son calls me stubborn, says I’m stuck in my ways
He can be his Moms image, from much younger days
They have thier own gigs now so I dont hear as often
That was always the goal, glad they had options
Life’s a balance sometimes of love, stress, and pride
I wont say it's easy, don't know how I'm alive
...
Gen X dad, always holding it together
Some Grayer hair, but I’m tougher than leather
Worry ‘bout my kids, it’s part of the deal
You never stop watching, and thats the real
Love ya to death, but don’t test my nerves
Being a Gen X dad takes guts and reserve
...
Yeah maybe I'm old school and stuck in my past
But I’ve lived through some shit and learned how to last
Wisdom’s the gift I still try to give
Find joy in the moments dont forget how to live
...
Gen X dad, always holding it together
Some Grayer hair, but I’m tougher than leather
Worry ‘bout my kids, it’s part of the deal
You never stop watching, and thats the real
Love ya to death, but don’t test my nerves
Being a Gen X dad takes guts and reserve
...
I'm glad we all made it, and had fun on the path
It's not always funny but you still need to laugh
Remember to just do your best to stay rooted
Cuz Ill come back and haunt you if you do something stupid

Lucas Orosei - Live Dj set

We’re running out of bridges. We need the other side.
Circumstances and second chances, and dreams - we know that you're trying.

Hope, hoping for some answers. Not, not afraid to cry.
Running slow now, we both know how it is - it’s nothing short of dying.

Watching you go down that road, is too heavy a load, you know what’s in store.
I know you think he’s the one, all the things he has done - can’t watch any more.

We’re running out of bridges.

Still Here

A condensed, but potent Ecstatic Dance wave played for an intimate group in Hāwī, North Kohala, Hawai'i.  Thanks to Gabrielle and Lorraine for bringing this together, and for providing another delightful venue and container for dance on Big Island.

『Still Day One』

どれだけ遠くまで歩んでも、朝を迎えるたびに「はじまりの日」のように感じられる――
そんな想いを込めた楽曲です。

傷や迷いも未来への力に変えて、心の奥の小さな火花を灯し続けたい。
この曲が、誰かの新しい一歩をそっと照らす光になりますように。

Still Day One

No matter how far we’ve come, every morning can still feel like the very first day —
a moment to start again, to rediscover our purpose, and to keep the spark alive.

May this song light the way for your next step, turning scars and doubts into hope.

#StillDayOne #Toshihisa

Lyrics

I trace the stars I aimed to reach
A faded map, but dreams still breathe
Though time has passed, the flame remains
A quiet spark inside my veins

The road gets long, the weight gets real
But in my heart, I always feel
A gentle voice that calls me back
To where I started on this track

Like the dawn that breaks again
I find my way through loss and pain
No matter how far I roam
That first step still guides me home
Every breath’s a brand new start
Holding on to that old spark

I’ve stumbled through the noise and doubt
But every scar has led me out
The path is mine, the fight’s my own
A seed of hope that’s always grown

Worn shoes tell the tales I keep
Of nights I fought, and dreams I leap
I’d rather fall than stand in place
With open eyes and steady pace

Like the dawn that breaks again
I find my way through loss and pain
No matter how far I roam
That first step still guides me home
Every breath’s a brand new start
Holding on to that old spark

We chase the sun, we seek the light
But mine’s been shining all my life
Not somewhere distant, not out of reach
It lives inside with every beat

Like the dawn that breaks again
I hold the past and welcome change
The road ahead, the lessons learned
Fuel the fire that still burns
Every dawn’s a chance to grow
With every step, I find my soul

Like the dawn that breaks again
I carry hope and walk ahead
The road I choose, the doubts I face
Shine a light on future days
Every dawn’s a seed to sow
With every step, new dreams will glow

Still Day One
