[Verse 1]
They call me never-despised, but still they throw their stones,
A humble man with open hands, but they beat me all alone.
I bow down low, I bless your soul, though you don’t understand,
I see a light inside your heart, a buddha in the sand.

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m the one they always scorn,
A voice that sings through hate and thorn,
But I keep on, I keep my stride—
I’m the never-despised, the never-despised.

[Verse 2]
They say I’m just a foolish monk, no scripture in my hand,
But I’ve got a vision deeper than the laws of this land.
I tell ‘em, “You’re gonna rise, become more than you know,”
But anger blinds their weary eyes, and the cruel winds blow.

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m the one they always scorn,
A voice that sings through hate and thorn,
But I keep on, I keep my stride—
I’m the never-despised, the never-despised.

[Bridge]
Tiles and stones, sticks and spite, they try to break my soul,
But my spirit’s rooted deep like a river’s rolling flow.
I shout with patience, loud and clear, “You’ll walk the bodhisattva’s way,”
Through all the pain and darkest nights, I never turn away.

[Verse 3]
This age is crooked, hearts are cold, the Dharma’s hard to find,
But I keep on my sacred path, with love that’s blind and kind.
Though karma’s road is long and slow, and their suffering is deep,
One day we’ll meet beneath the tree, where Buddha’s light will keep.

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m the one they always scorn,
A voice that sings through hate and thorn,
But I keep on, I keep my stride—
I’m the never-despised, the never-despised.

[Outro]
Yeah, through the fire and the rain, I still call your name,
You’re a buddha yet to be, in this blues that bears no shame.

Never-Despised Blues

Embark on a soulful journey from the everyday "mud" of the Saha world to the illuminating discovery of "Basic Goodness" shining brightly within and all around. This song, blending heartfelt reflection with spiritual insight, explores the profound transformation that occurs when we shift our perspective. It's a reminder that, like the lotus flower, purity and wisdom can emerge even from troubled grounds, and the inherent truth—our "Arousing-nature"—is always present, waiting to turn suffering into a "sweet and blessed surprise." Tune in and let your eyes open to the beauty that never dies.

Lyrics: 
(Verse 1) 
Woke up this mornin' in the Saha world, feels like mud outside my door. Yeah, woke up this mornin' in the Saha world, feels like mud outside my door. Got these troubles weighin' on my mind, Lord, can't take this sufferin' no more.

(Verse 2) 
But they say there's a jewel hid deep inside, though I can't find the key. Yeah, they say there's a jewel hid deep inside, waitin' just for me. That Arousing-nature, Lord, it's wild and free.

(Chorus) 
But when I see that beauty shinin', opens up my weary eyes, This whole world starts transformin', a sweet and blessed surprise. Deep in that light I see it, the truth that never dies, The Goodness shinin' through, Lord, right before my very eyes.

(Verse 3) 
See that lotus flower breakin' from the muddy ground. Yeah, see that lotus flower breakin' from the muddy ground. Provin' purity can rise, even when trouble's all around.

(Verse 4) 
They talk 'bout purifyin' this old dusty land. Yeah, talk 'bout transformin' it with a gentle hand. Turnin' suffering to the Enlightened realm, understand...?

(Chorus) 
But when I see that beauty shinin', opens up my weary eyes, This whole world starts transformin', a sweet and blessed surprise. Deep in that light I see it, the truth that never dies, The Goodness shinin' through, Lord, right before my very eyes.

(Verse 5) 
It ain't the place outside, it's the mind that changes the view.... Yeah, gotta see with the mind, gotta see the inherent truth. 'Cause wherever I see beauty, I see the Goodness, shine on through....

(Outro) 
See the Goodness's joy shinin' through... In the jeweled trees so high, in the pure water pond. See the Goodness shinin' through, from now on and beyond. Yeah... see the Goodness… everywhere I look around.

Lotus Drive - Ambiental Hip-Hop Beat (Preview) 2025

This is the stripped back version of "Wind Vine", just a piano and an instance of the kontakt instrument "Scene: Lotus".
Both were recorded in one live take, fully improvised and in the case of the Lotus recording, was also modulated live during the take.
Once recorded, the Lotus recording has not been modified in any way, however, the piano had some minor editing, which was mostly removing any parts that didn't work so well, but also a few timing adjustments or a couple of note adjustments where I hit the wrong keys, but that was. to be expected as I played my fully weighted key Oxygen 88 keyboard for the first time in awhile, compared to the Korg Micro Key I usually use (which has tiny keys as the name suggests)
The piano used in this is the Kontakt sampled Piano instrument "The Giant"

Wind Vine (Piano Version)

This is the full orchestral version of "Wind Vine", based around an instance of the kontakt instrument "Scene: Lotus".
All instrument tracks were recorded in one live take (separately), fully improvised and in the case of the Lotus recording, was also modulated live during the take.
Once recorded, the Lotus recording has not been modified in any way, however, the piano and other instruments have had some minor editing, the vast majority of which was removing any parts that didn't work so well, but I also made a few small time corrections or a couple of note adjustments where I hit the wrong keys here and there, but for the most part they are the original recordings. This was to be expected though, as I played my fully weighted key Oxygen 88 keyboard for the first time in a long while, compared to the Korg Micro Key I usually use (which has tiny keys as the name suggests).

The idea was to just run with it, record a single improvised take and then subtract from that take rather than add to, which is a new approach to how I usually work.

The piano used in this is the Kontakt sampled Piano instrument "The Giant"
All additional instruments used in this piece are also played via the Kontakt sampler, including: Stradvari Cello, Balinese Flutes, Bass strings section and Clarinet sfx from the Symphony Series, Hang Drum, and various instruments from the East Asia Spotlight Collection.

Welcome to the musical world of The William Altig Choir, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound.

Inspired by the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and infused with deep spiritual themes, my music blends the rich traditions of blues and folk with modern elements, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both the heart and soul.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Join me on this musical journey. Together, we can explore the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, finding solace, hope, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
