Played on a Tom Doerr (RIP) Legacy- LS Redwood/Cocobolo. 
This little tune gradually grew on me over some time period ahead of the final recording including little changes on the evening it was recorded. Sometimes that's the way things work!!
 Played in CGCGCD tuning capo #1. 
The melody seemed to convey to me a hopeful, thoughtful day ahead where good things might happen! 
The picture is of my son in law looking out over the harbor on a fabulous summer evening sunset!
Thanks for taking time to listen!

Overworld (Kondo 1991)

We conclude our Summer Series on a hopeful note and a glimpse into the future.  Mankind has finally found that it can accept the differences that divide us, share the bounty between us, and become a vast community governed by faith, hope, and love. How did such a thing come about?  We collectively took a step back from the brink of self-annihilation by realizing "we solve most things if we talk".  
Ironically, this was the most complex song of the five to put together,  We all had an idea of how we wanted it to turn out, and thanks to Seagull and a lot of talking between us behind the scenes, we came to consensus and a final version.  Our little band is proof "we can solve most things if we talk":)  It has been an honor to work with each of you:

And the key phrase at the end; The lovely little Finley, 7 years old.

We Solve Most Things If We Talk

Summer rain finds my face, splashing through my smile
Thunder rumbles fall away, storm is phasing through
Peace of mind is on the case, misery is in denial,
Yesterday’s squally day, tomorrow’s skies are azure blue.

Dreams of history’s tension gladly start to ease
Gripping claws of lunacy finally shun the past
Seems things turned out badly for hunger and disease
Slipping towards unity, laying down the guns at last.

Call my neighbour as my friend, our meanings line as one
Colour, gods and politics accepted as they are
Mutualities to defend no conflict clouds our shining sun
Consideration and respect, a communal repertoire

Mother Mary called today
Handed me a flower stalk
Kissed my worries clean away
We solve most things if we talk.

Need as might we understand equality’s a bed of lies
Celebrate uniqueness as a cast of human thread
Day and night, hand in hand, no polity compromise
Learning from our weakness past, focused on the light ahead.

Mother Mary spoke today
Led me on a learning walk
Eased my troubles on the way
We solve most things if we talk.

Mother Mary sang today
Left me with a simple thought
The wisest heads will simply say
We solve most things if we talk.
"We Solve Most Things If We Talk"

Contented Man (Seagull, Oddrun, Peter, David)

The days are getting shorter, it's cooler in the morning and the sun only shines now and then: summer is coming to an end

lyrics

For Javier
Let the real engage
From Mother Earth
The songs we've made
Galician dreams shared,
Emerald Isle beams for you here.
Inspired
Dotted crotchet hooks
Unknown ignitions
Those little musical hugs
Keep many on a mission 

Bring these clouded sounds
Help the world go around 

Brothers and sisters
Cheers for your ears
Together we curate a creole of each other's happy tears
Mother's and Me's passing on a little more please 
That's our culture counted
Sound it loud at our musical banquet
Feed vultures surmounted 

It seems some stayed
Some chose lament
Across the water our ancestors went
The genes are seen in modern meme
Who knew this brotherhood had been
So now we know how the story goes
Let's sing for a bit and warm up the cold
A sea between but the sounds do roam 
Like one Galician tribe who made trails to home
Sounds like a trail back to you

It seems some stayed
Some chose lament
Across the water our ancestors went
The genes are seen in modern meme
Who knew this brotherhood had been
So now we know how the story goes
Let's sing for a bit and warm up the cold
A sea between but the sounds do roam 
Like one Galician tribe who made trails to home
Sounds like a trail back to you
