The One Great White Ox Cart Blues

The One Great White Ox Cart Blues is a slow-burning folk-blues meditation on finding the sacred in everyday life.

Driven by a mournful acoustic guitar in A minor and a steady, heartbeat bass, the song draws on the Lotus Sutra’s parable of the Great White Ox Cart to reveal a timeless truth: there is no wall between holy ground and the ground beneath our feet.

Each verse tells of a traveler who chases distant promises only to discover that awakening lives inside ordinary dust and labor.

The chorus sings out like a river current—“No wall between the holy and the work we do each day… you already ride the great white cart”—reminding us that Buddhahood is not far away but alive in the present moment.

Images of a burning house, quiet compassion, and the shared strength of all beings give the song both grit and grace.

Part blues lament, part spiritual anthem, The One Great White Ox Cart Blues invites listeners to walk the open road of everyday awakening, where purpose and compassion are not lofty ideals but the work of each breath and step.

Lyrics:
(A bluesy folk song, played with a slow, mournful acoustic guitar riff and a steady, grounding bass line. Key of Am.)

Verse 1
(Am) I’ve walked a lot of dusty miles, sun on my neck, no shade
(G) Looked for some far-off kingdom, thought that’s where peace was made
(C) But every step kept telling me, the sacred’s here, not gone
(F) Right inside the grit and trouble, that’s where the truth goes on
(Am) Folks spoke of tiny pathways, too small for most to find
(E7) But life laid down one open road for all of humankind

Chorus
(Am) There’s no line between the holy and the work we do each day
(G) The living light is everywhere, it never moves away
(C) You already ride the great white cart, not some weaker track
(F) Your own good heart’s been carrying the strength you thought you lacked
(Am) We’re part of one wide river, flowing to the sea
(E7) This whole world moves together in a single destiny

Verse 2
(Am) I’ve known a house on fire, the smoke can blind your sight
(G) The lies of fear and anger keep you running through the night
(C) A wise friend showed a doorway, said, “Come and catch your breath”
(F) Sometimes a kind illusion saves a soul from early death
(Am) The guide was never gone for good, just stepped beyond the sound
(E7) So we’d dig for deeper courage, until the truth is found

Chorus
(Am) There’s no line between the holy and the work we do each day
(G) The living light is everywhere, it never moves away
(C) You already ride the great white cart, not some weaker track
(F) Your own good heart’s been carrying the strength you thought you lacked

Verse 3
(Am) Now I try to keep the lesson where I live and work and eat
(G) Trade old jealous habits for a patience that runs deep
(C) The world reflects within me, clear as a polished glass
(F) This very life can hold the light that never needs to pass
(Am) I listen for the hurting, lend a steady helping hand
(E7) ‘Cause lifting someone else is where real freedom stands

Chorus
(Am) There’s no line between the holy and the work we do each day
(G) The living light is everywhere, it never moves away
(C) You already ride the great white cart, not some weaker track
(F) Your own good heart’s been carrying the strength you thought you lacked

Bridge
(Dm) No one’s left behind here, no soul is marked as small
(Am) The same strong seed of goodness lives inside us all
(E7) A single act of kindness can shift the way things go
(Am) And what we change within ourselves the whole wide world will know
(G) The ordinary moment is where the healing starts
(C) Turning everyday reality into a field of open hearts

Outro
(Am) That quiet truth is timeless; it’s the road beneath your feet
(E7) Walk it with a steady mercy till the journey feels complete
(Am) We’re already on that white ox cart—one road, one song, one beat

The Buddha’s Eyes Blues

Buddha’s Eyes Blues is a slow-rolling, rootsy folk-blues meditation on the heart of Chapter Ten of the Lotus Sūtra.

With warm finger-picked guitar, mournful slide, and harmonica sighs, it honors the sutra’s call to make offerings of devotion and daily action.

Each verse carries the listener down a dusty road of incense smoke and open palms, where giving is not about barter but about opening the Buddha’s eyes within—seeing the oneness of all life and the beautiful differences that make every being unique.

This song is both an homage and an invitation: to treat every kitchen and street corner as a sacred hall, to offer kindness as the highest gift, and to walk the wide world with awakened eyes.

Lyrics:
Verse 1 – The Offering Road
G
I laid my flowers down, incense smoke in the rain,
C
Every coin of my heart, every ounce of my pain.
G
Not to buy a heaven, not to pay some dues,
D7
But to open these eyes that the Buddha can use.

Chorus – Seeing True
G
Oh the world’s all equal, and every face unique,
C
Joy and sorrow mingle, every soul has speech.
G
The same wide sky, a million different hues—
D7                       G
That’s the view when you walk in the Buddha’s shoes.

Verse 2 – Keeper of the Word
G
I met a dusty pilgrim with a sutra in his hands,
C
Said “I’m just a singer in these broken lands.
G
But the words I carry are the living flame,
D7
Hold one line with love, and you’ll never be the same.”

(Chorus)

Bridge – Equality & Difference
C
The mountain and the river, the beggar and the king,
G
All rise and fall inside the self-same ring.
C
Yet each breath is a fingerprint, each cry its own tune—
D7
One Dharma rain, but a thousand blooms.

Verse 3 – Everyday Temple
G
So I make my offering in the work I do,
C
In the kindness I plant, in the songs I sing for you.
G
Every street and kitchen is a sacred hall,
D7
Where the Buddha’s eyes are seeing it all.

Outro / Tag
G
I laid my flowers down, incense smoke in the rain,
C
Opened these eyes and I’ll never be the same.
G
Buddha’s eyes blues, running through my veins,
D7                   G
One world, many colors, one endless flame.

The Quiet Gap Blues
The Quiet Gap Blues is a slow-burning, porch-born folk-blues meditation on patience, presence, and the subtle work of transformation. Over finger-picked guitar and a harmonica’s gentle cry, William sings of that moment between impulse and wisdom—the breath before the word, the silence before the song. It’s a hymn to building one’s inner tower stone by stone, listening deeply to others’ worlds, and letting the Dharma shine in everyday gestures. Intimate and earthy, this track invites you to walk it slow and let the quiet do its holy work.

Verse 1 – The Micro-Pause

(Am)
I got a river of insight, runnin’ deep and wide,
(G)
But it rushes past the door where my quick words hide.
(F)
One breath could hold the whole wide vow,
(E7)
But I keep forgettin’—I remember now.

Chorus – Walk It Slow
(C)
Take a step, let the silence lead,
(G)
Let the vow breathe through every deed.
(F)
Not just in the songs I play,
(E7)
But in the way I speak each day.

⸻

Verse 2 – Many Seeds, One Tower

(Am)
I’m scatterin’ seeds on a thousand hills,
(G)
Dreamin’ of towers and iron wills.
(F)
But a treasure’s built stone by stone,
(E7)
Can’t grow ten forests if you’ve got one home.

⸻

Verse 3 – Deep Listenin’

(Am)
Some folks talk of skies I’ve never seen,
(G)
Different colors, same moonbeam.
(F)
I’ll ask their hearts how the heavens show,
(E7)
Learn the song only questions know.

⸻

Bridge – The Body Gate

(Dm)
Hands on the fretboard, breath in my chest,
(Am)
This body’s a temple where vows find rest.
(F)
Every muscle a mantra, every step a prayer,
(E7)
The Dharma’s not distant—it’s beating right there.

⸻

Chorus – Walk It Slow (reprise)

(C)
Take a step, let the silence lead,
(G)
Let the vow breathe through every deed.
(F)
Patience hums like an old steel string,
(E7)
That’s the deepest truth I sing.

The Quiet Gap Blues

"Gallows Tree” is a slow-burning swamp blues dirge rooted in Southern Gothic tradition. Driven by a relentless tick-tock drum rhythm, mournful slide guitar, and gravelly vocals, the track unspools like a midnight ghost story. With imagery of crows, chains, and the hanging tree, The Swamp Tones channel both the dread of judgment and the defiance of a spirit that refuses to be silenced. Dark, deliberate, and timeless — this is blues carved from shadow and fire.

Gallows Tree

Tizenkét kilonyúton megtartási rántás,
Ennél nagyobb erő a gerincnek már bántás. 
Leszakadnak a szerveid,
Eltörnek a csontjaid,
Nem marad más belőled,
csak egy ex-mászó.

Hat kilonyúton alatt maradsz,
a statisztika mondja, hogy az alatt a paraszt
még túléli,
nem lesz belőle prézli,
Két lábon még hazatalál.
Leporolja magát és kalap-kabát

Építs standot, erős két szálút,
Legyen teherelosztott, ne légy Te a nagy szájú,
Aki csak egy pontot épít, mert ő a tuti srác,
Ha kiszakad az a pont, akkor az majd nagyon fáj.

MUSIC MADE IN CANADA: Music has been a large part of my life since my teen years when I started playing guitar. Used to play popular pop and country songs in bars, songs written by other artists but for past couple decades have focused entirely on writing and producing my own songs across a number of genres: pop, country, blues, and more recently dream pop and what I'm calling whiskey blues dream pop, a style that merges the two and that seems complimentary to my ear. I believe each style can sound good and give people pleasure: that's my goal in writing. Now I produce sounds featuring both male and female vocals as the lyrics dictate; variety is the spice of...well, you know. Thanks for listening.
