Spiritual daze

Back in the day when there were albums, this song would have been the last track on the B-side, that most of the band didn’t want on include at all. Poor structure, no obvious genre, not enough repetition, too long, etc, all fair points. Anyway, this is my B-side album filler that gets me kicked out of the band due to 'creative differences'. 

Thanks to my friend Johnny Mc Farlane who stood up for the song, made some great suggestions and for good measure, added the amazing solo. 

Thinking back to a lifetime ago, living in the Bronx, driving on the Major Deegan, hot summer evenings, going nowhere in particular, sketchy air con, Indigo Girls CD on full volume, trying to sing those amazing harmonies.  

Blink of an eye and all these years have past. Lots of water under the George Washington Bridge since then.

Is that alright with you ?

Resung, remixed and remastered from almost four years ago.

This is a clash of psychology with science, and, well, early The Cure meets Bowie's Scary Monsters. It's easy to be close to somebody and still not be seen or heard no matter how loudly you speak. Mixed all this up with some actual invisibility science, so believe it or not, in terms not being seen this song stands on solid physics, until it doesn't....

BEND THE LIGHT

You see me
You look through me
You hear me
Can you hear me?

You’re blinded by your reflection
I’m invisible in the shadow of your glow

I absorb you
I deflect you
I’m a scientific wonder
My surface is cool
My paint is dark
A massive anomaly
A singularity
A Nobel prize in disguise
I’m in disguise

You’ve got the angle
You could be near or far
On any wavelength
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light

I wait for you
You walk by me
I’m a meta material
New spectrum
No infrared
I’m headed to the Blue Hall
A Nobel prize in disguise
I’m gonna be famous
I’m gonna be famous

You’ve got the angle
You could be near or far
On any wavelength
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light

You bend the light
But I’m gonna be famous
You bend the light
And I’m famous

This song is about the day of reckoning that everyone who's tried to climb the corporate ladder and succeeded will eventually face.

LYRICS

i'm blind i'm blind
can't see past the cash they flashed
so i climb, i climb
my conscience slept every step i stepped
and my mind, my mind
was so empty and free to believe
but these social structures
can't bear the weight of mistakes i make

i'm so entitled
weightless, gliding
falling upward
above the rabble
i'm building my legacy
the pained say, "wait and see"
cos history will come for me
history will come
it all comes back around
define: revolution
it all comes back around
the statues all torn down
building my legacy
building my legacy
i'm building my legacy
building my legacy

falling upward

A Touch Of Celtic (music by philippe blanc)

I make music because that's how I say things I can't say. I play everything myself — guitars, drums, keys, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, whatever — and record at home when the mood hits. It’s a mix of all the stuff I’ve ever loved, which like me is… kind of all over the place.

I'm not touring, just work my day job and write and record when I have time. Some songs are messy, some are sweet, some are loud — all of them are me trying to get something out of my head and into the world.

Thanks for listening, if you do.  Always appreciate feedback!
