This was my way of processing some of the sensations related to learning of Robbie Robertson's death.  For most, The Last Waltz epitomizes the heights of Robertson's powers and I felt like no greater moment helps us understand life and death than Bob Dylan's contribution to that collaboration and culminating song of The Last Waltz as an array of legendary musicians joins forces in I Shall Be Released.

I often think this quote from Robertson about their last tour has a lot of symbolic meaning beyond a concert tour and may be fitting for understanding the road of life which he said right after I Shall Be Released in the film:

"The road was our school. It gave us a sense of survival. it taught us everything we know... there's not much left that we can really take from the road." -Robertson

They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Now, yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

A Lost Civilization

Grab my hand

This song is my personal response to what is happening around me, it has something positive in it against the difficulties, against the background of the very difficult situation in Ukraine and Palestine. I hope the situation will change and people will find peaceful solutions.

Not in the clouds, I said.

All Things That Rise

Waitless (Keep Drifting)
Lyrics by Prof. Mayfly 

(verse 1)
Well i get frisson like a motherfucker
And i get visions like no other brothers, and sisters
This is for a moment in time 
I think that most of my mind likes to rhyme at least most of the time.
I tangle up the spider silk and it’s riveting.
I’m throwing out entitlement for enlightenment
I’m done fighting it, I really fucking like this shit. 
I was so worried that you wouldn’t be alright with it.
But imma will it into being, it’s thrilling when you see that its all relative
Mass space time velocity and energy
Look
Einstein proved it mathematically so don’t you tell me research conflicts with spirituality
Just face your setbacks and your fallacies you practically cracked me and my ego
I’m free though to leave, or love, and I’ve got shit to do
So ill be riddling through the dilation I’m patient
This thin walled casing, A stress evaluation  It’s way too gradient 
It’s gonna take a spectrograph to measure that 
As a matter of fact, it probably won’t stay in tact.
Rip your life from the tracks Throw the dice in ya pack, 
take a chance, quick glance, I trance
Look mom no hands!
Imma do what i can, from new york to japan while im taking my stand
with no fans
Wait, what is this frequency that speaks to me my brain hertz, thats resonant
Man i dont think that i remember in between all of my residence and dismemberments
Its kind of pleasent like i’m alway home, and thats the reason why ive always grown thats the reason why i love my own, 
And my enemy remeber me i wanna be a laureate, and just got published
I work for the public then head to the pub kid. 

 (Chorus)
So maybe i should wait less, or maybe i’m just weightless
Or maybe i should maybe i just, maybe its just wait less
So maybe i should wait less, or maybe i’m just weightless


And keep drifting...

(verse 2)
But who am i to persuade you?
And who am i to evade truth?
Cooped up I’m ruthless, i’ve gotta find truth 
If i reach the last page will i reach that last stage and fade?
Or is this sentience a mere reflection of a transient intention of a universal consciousness.
I’ll stay on top of it Ill be the page of swords
I’ve never been adored, but i look forward to the taste of maybe making it
I really just get bored…
 I wish that i could just live in my dreams 
Because it seems human being really isn’t my thing.
Bring in the sunshine, fuck me man Im way too lucky
I think i understand feeling
I think i get that real things, are not the same as reality
I think i finally understood why everybodys always so god  damn mad at me
They’re  not.

 (Chorus)
So maybe i should wait less, or maybe i’m just weightless
Or maybe i should maybe i just, maybe its just wait less
So maybe i should wait less, or maybe i’m just weightless


And keep drifting

Verse 3 (Spoken)
When a particle reaches it’s highest frequency and escapes the system there is a flash of light. 
We know based on mass relativity that theoretically  at the speed of light mass would be infinite. 
Enlightenment: the search for your souls resonant frequency. The eradication of the human barrier, the ego. For in that moment the particle is one with the whole of the universe. Every tensor of existence is expressed briefly through the static. For an amount of time we express as zero that exists forever and not at all . All mediums have the power to resonant energy is contained within the system. 

Where and when are you afraid of going?

 (Chorus)
So maybe i should wait less, or maybe i’m just weightless
Or maybe i should maybe i just, maybe its just wait less
So maybe i should wait less, or maybe i’m just weightless

And keep drifting...
