Cast Your Vote; Write Your Story by Greg Brown
(Verse 1)
I remember back in '08,
Hope was in the air, feeling so great,
Dreaming big, we were breaking the mold,
But now the lines feel heavy and cold.  

(Pre-Chorus)
Saw Kamala in the courtroom, fierce and bold,
Fighting for the truth, a sight to behold,
Every story shared, every tear we've cried,
Women standing tall, can't let it slide.

(Chorus)
So cast your vote, write your story,
For the girls who dream, let’s share the glory,
No more hiding, it’s time to rise,
Vote for a woman, see the future in our eyes.

(Verse 2)
Remember the whispers of shame and blame,
While they loved to play the blame game,
The felon's past, a toxic charade,
While we reach for justice, let the truth cascade.

(Pre-Chorus)
I’ve seen my sisters fight for what's right,
Through the darkness, they spark the light,
Every step we take, every chance we get,
We won't back down, we’re not done yet.

(Chorus)
So cast your vote, write your story,
For the girls who dream, let’s share the glory,
No more hiding, it’s time to rise,
Vote for a woman, see the future in our eyes.

(Bridge)
I remember my mom in her worn-out shoes,
Casting her ballot, sharing her views,
She taught me that power’s in our hands,
Together we stand, across all the lands.

(Chorus)
So cast your vote, write your story,
For the girls who dream, let’s share the glory,
No more hiding, it’s time to rise,
Vote for a woman, see the future in our eyes.

(Outro)
In this great land, our voices will soar,
Together we stand, we’ll open the door,
Kamala or the past, we know the score,
Cast your vote, let’s write our lore!

Cast Your Vote; Write Your Story

If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to her face?
If you were faced with her in all her glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make her way home?

If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see if, seeing meant
That you would have to believe in things like heaven
And in Jesus and the saints, and all the prophets?

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?

Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make her way home?
Just tryin' to make her way home

Like back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make her way home?

Just tryin' to make her way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just tryin' to make her way home
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

On My Own by Greg Brown

I’m on my own
The band’s all gone
I’m here by myself    
No one’s left on board

It’s just like before
I’m a solitary man
I may not be the best
But I make it as I can

Time to start a new project
Time to make a new band
Time to take control of my art
It’s time to work on a new sound 

There are no more thrills for me to seek
I’ve done all I needed there’s no more for me

So I’m free to be me again
Standing on my own again
Speaking my peace again
Believing in myself again

Collaboration can be real cool
But writing by committee wont make a hit
It’s what’s in my mind
That no one else knows

Can’t rely on no one else
Don’t need to wait for someone else
I’m free to sew the seeds I’ve sewn
Now I’m free to be on my own

So I’m free to be me again
Standing on my own again
Speaking my peace again
Believing in myself again

On My Own

VSX version

The Double Bind is a term I learned about while listening to Allan Watts

"Double Bind"

They tell you what to do, but don’t tell you how 
Say “just be yourself,” but not right now 
Push you to the edge, then pull the floor 
Lock the open gate, say "Walk through the door"

 Truth is a riddle wrapped up in chains 
They hand you the map but redraw the lanes
Can’t go forward, can’t turn back 
Red light’s green, but the road’s gone black 

 They sell you a dream, then they tax the air 
Say “stand up tall,” but don’t you dare 
Pick a side, but don’t ask why 
Raise your voice, but keep it dry

Up is down, and wrong feels right 
The truth’s too bright, so they kill the light
Can’t go forward, can’t turn back 
Red light’s green, but the road’s gone black 

Speak your mind, but don’t cross the line 
Welcome, my friend, to the Double Bind

Spin the wheel, but the game is fixed
 Read the rules, they don’t exist 
Take a number, wait in line 
Your turn came, but they changed their mind

Can’t go forward, can’t turn back 
Red light’s green, but the road’s gone black 
Speak your mind, but don’t cross the line 
Welcome, my friend, to the Double Bind

Welcome, my friend, to the Double Bind

Double Bind

Buzz Buzz – a high-octane shout-out to warm days and late nights

Black Crow In A Redwood Tree – drifting into that woodsy, Americana vibe

Black Crow In A Tree

Loony Balloon – a little prog whimsy for the adventurous soul

Written by Raymond Douglas Davies

Loony Balloon

Uninformed – cheeky satire to keep you smiling (and thinking)

Uninformed

Priceless Moments – a reflective pause to soak it all in

Priceless Moments

Be Kind (Learn Lots) – ending on an uplifting, feel-good high note

Be Kind (With Vinny Johnson)

Double Bind – funky back-and-forth energy to get you moving

Gonna go to Boulder
Colorado in the sun
Gonna catch a show 
Gonna have some fun

Gonna see some new stuff
Gonna walk real far
Gonna see some stars in the sky
Gonna get real high

I’m going to red rocks
High up in the Rockies 
where the mountains strong and old
Wonder   of the world

Gonna eat a good meal
Gonna see the real deal
Gonna have myself a bed
Gonna need to rest my head

Gonna have some coffee and a pot
It’s legal here so why not
Gonna see where she once was
Time to see what’s all the fuss 

Gonna walk around
In a strange new town
Lotta shit been going down
In this red dirt town

Boulder
