An anti-apathy anthem at a time where "the man" (whichever / whoever / wherever / destination unknown) knows best and has the science to back it up to tell us what to look at and what not to see / hear.  Rise up and be inspired to feel and believe.  I like.

Superb bass, cool vocals! Really nice track! I like it!

Really inspiring! Thanks for sharing with us!

What's holding you back? Is it a glass ceiling? Is it pay inequity? Is it the racial divide? Lack of equal opportunity? Policing? The list is considerable. Choose an issue and get involved. Start in your small corner and, without meaning to sound too trite, “Be the Change...”  Now, not in some future sometime.
Though light-hearted and whimsical in appearance, the core of this muse is a deep-rooted desire for change. Now is the time? In the middle of a pandemic?  Why not?

Lyrics:
Ah- oh....Chim i chim i changa...ah-ooh..(and other representational/nonsensical utterances alluding to ideas political, social, historical, and economic - current protests for a better world etc.) 

I want to see the world as more than a place that I can endure 
A place where I can send some roots down 
I want to take a long walk off a short pier 
Enjoy the ice that I found in my beer. 
And I want to see it now, 
I want to see it now, 
I don't want to wait forever, 
I just want to see it now - 
Right now, right now, 

(Chorus) 
TAKE OFF YOUR CHAINS, I WANNA TAKE OFF YOUR CHAINS 
I WANNA TAKE THOSE CHAINS A RIGHT OFF NOW (repeat) 

Instrumental...(drums and bass...pounding the chains, struggling for freedom) 
(grunting and groaning vocalisations representing human struggles to be free of encumbrances) 

I want to see the world as more than a place that I can endure 
(I want to be set free, so free) 
A place where I can send some roots down 
I want to take a long walk off a short pier 
Enjoy the ice I found in my beer. (Moosehead beer!..Terry's fav :) 
And I want to see it now, 
(I want to be set free, right now) 
I want to see it now, 
I don't want to wait forever, 
I just want to see it now - 
Right now, right now, right now - 
(Chorus) 


If you got the chains on...go on then, give us a rattle!!!
If you haven't...then ya'll just have to listen to the rest of us :-)

Connecting, creating and sharing with others has been quite a transformative experience and one that I trust will continue for years to come. I enjoy listening to musicians on SC, and try to leave encouraging and descriptive comments.
Who said retirement can't be fun!
