Anapanasati (Mindfullness of Breath)

Unceasing Motion ...how to be?
At this pace…..hard to see?
The grand canvas scrawled by you and me
Lest we forget it is all a dream…..

The walls may crumble all around
The floor can drop out, plummeting down
The sky can fracture, fall apart. 
But just remember …...just breathe

The life the spirit the light inside you

Speak  Sati and Slow down time
Dharma vicay and analyze
Say Viriya, persist resist
Speak of Piti and energy it climbs
Whisper passadhi, calming of the mind

The walls may crumble all around
The floor can drop out, plummeting down
The sky can fracture, split apart. 
But just remember …...just breathe

The life the, the spirit, the beauty in you…..

Now its samadhi focused eyes
Upekha closes we realize
Enjoy the beauty and breath and life……..

Just breathe…..


Anapanasati!

This is the first single from a 12 track album which tells their love story. This is a sultry blues track, proclaiming that their meeting was most certainly not by chance.

Lyrics:
She Graces the room and the hair stands on my neck
She can’t be real must be a goddess in the flesh
Those emerald eyes glance my way and I start to sweat
And then the bass starts thumping and the beats get soaking wet

So begins this dance, it’s not happenstance


I’m catching a vibe and 
notice this Guy ..uh
The way he lets his Fingers slide
And now he looks 
so deep into my Eyes
I can tell he likes the way i move
Oh I never knew
How someone can
Exactly feel my groove
 

Place your hand in mine, it’s not by chance we have met
I wanna hold it cuz i know this moment I just won’t forget 
Feel the heat from your lips , and the passion you exude
I think i know how this night concludes

The planets are aligned, perfect place and time
We dance to one rhythm, it is only the beginning

Not A Chance Encounter

This is the second chapter of our true love story, I Dreamt Last Night. This dreamy acoustic piece discusses the difficulties we have with being forced to be apart while we wait for Ciroyelle to receive permission to move to the USA so we can begin the rest of our lives together. In our dreams, however, we must never part.

Lyrics:
 I dreamt Last Night

I dreamt of you last night
two rivers ran as one
moon aligned with the sun
and then all was just right

Heard you say..

Always missing you
I just want to stay by your side
hold me tight
don’t want to / can’t stop kissing you!

All I know is that so soon
this perfect dream comes true …

I dreamt of you last night
our worries seem so far 
we were dancing between the stars
just like Lovebirds in flight

Heard you say…

still I’m missing you
I'll always stay by your side
and hold you tight
and I won’t stop kissing you

All I know is that so soon
this perfect dream comes true …

All I know is that so soon
this perfect dream comes true …

I Dreamt Last Night

Lyrics: 

Fly with me
Find your way
Fly with me 
Let's find a way

She can tell you a story witnessed with own eyes and ears
It was the relief of the wrong belief that brought her to tears
He was like a lonely wolf always on the lookout for what felt 
like a hundred years 
On A rocky road carrying the past as a load
He chose the way through the desert 
Found her like she was always 
free as a bird.

She said 
Fly with me easy 
Lets find our way like the eagles


Just breathe I'm here
Dare you and come near
Let's live our lives free of fear


Love is beauty in simplicity 
It's a power kept secretly
The way you hold me musically
Love you with all of my soul 
Fire will always burn
Do you know it's destiny 
We will always learn

You walk beside me 
I still feel free 
I see you see me I see 
Determined but torn
Because we're the people walking
in the storm 
Like into this struggle 
that we're born.

It's about letting go you say
It's about letting go I say


Fly with me easy 
Lets find our way like the eagles


I hope you can hear my voice I'm calling you! 
I hope you can feel I'm falling, it's true...
Just for you I'll be right there
Let's leave this place together we're free 
Let's be together 
You know I love you

Let's Find our Way

Let's Find Our Way

We proudly present to you the 5th release from The Just Imagines, The Definition of Sublime. This reggae track discusses the sublime feeling of finding and being with the person who makes you complete.

Lyrics:

Everyday you make me smile
The way you enjoy and perceive Life
You fulfill my desire 
your love is taking me higher
24/7 a feeling like I’m in Heaven
with a true passion
Through winter and summer
It’s a new kind of wonder

A love and connection so divine
No matter space and time
The definition of sublime

You’re all I ever want (All I wanted)
All I really ever need (All I need)
Love is like a precious plant, (yeah)
Taking good care from the roots to the seed (seed)

Keep loving you more each day we spend together
Can't think of anything better 
You take me where I never been
Inspire me to do what I never did
I know you understand 
without you I am only half the man
Since I know you, I found my sight.
Your spirit shines Oh with the brightest light

Love
Divine (so divine)
Sublime
A love and connection so divine
No matter space and time
Definition of sublime

Thanks for listening!!!

Here are the lyrics:

We would appreciate any feedback in the comments below ! 🙏✌
If you want to read the Lyrics, here there are:

Opening Opera style

This is our manifesto of love
And it’s the best I could ever think of 

Verse 1 

You breathe life into me 
like the sun into the trees
you're exactly what I need 
My love is deeper than the sea 
nothing so deep could ever be 
And I mean for eternity 

Chorus:

Our Cosmic Convergence was written among the stars
and the universe in tune with the beating of our hearts

Verse 2

Without the sun the planets cannot be and
Without you there can’t be me
Now we forever unite 
all challenges overcome 
no matter the fight
This love is a flame 
just starting to burn
it shines brighter 
as the days to seasons turn 

Chorus 2:

It was written among the stars our cosmic convergence 
a once in a lifetime, in a million years, in a millennium, in occurrence. 
Our cosmic convergence was written in the stars
never again shall we part from each others arms

Bridge:

Our energies joining in a constant flow 
and the waterfall meets the volcano 
we make each other whole 
we always know 
on this ground we will grow

Final Verse opera style

a bond - so magical 
our chemistry - beyond irresistible 
it merges transcendental 
into immortality

♾💑🌌

Cosmic Convergence

Are you Ready for a true love musical manifesto? Now you can finally listen to the album that tells OUR LOVE STORY from the beginning:

 In the summer of 2020, we met and it was certainly NOT A CHANCE ENCOUNTER, but an ocean and pandemic separated us from our DISTANT LOVE. We couldn’t even FLY to meet one another in person for almost a year. We were only together in our dreams and told each other; I DREAMT of you LAST NIGHT… And oh, TE EXTRAÑO we proclaimed to one another. Finally, for the first time, we were able to meet under the palm trees and our first SWEET EXPLOSIONS together burst forth like fireworks against the backdrop of the night sky. 
We got engaged under the stars and promised LET’S FIND OUR WAY so that we never have to part. We applied for a visa, and received some WHITE HOUSE MAIL, to help liven our spirits and stay positive while we waited over a year for the Visa to be approved. So many times we said, hang in there, because BABY I’M COMING FOR YOU!  So let the SUNBEAMS brighten up your day. And now, being fortunate enough to create so many wonderful memories together, we know the true DEFINITION OF SUBLIME. We are so happy to be living A STORY THAT NEVER ENDS and now, after all this time, we have had the highest highs, the lowest lows, the biggest smiles and painful tears, our COSMIC CONVERGENCE is finally almost complete !

White House Mail

Sweet Explosions

Te Extraño

Fly (we got this going on)

Distant Love

Not a Chance Encounter

We are back with our first new track in a few months! This one if a hypnotic rocker with poignant lyrics. Check them out below!

Written by Carina and Tyler Cressman 2023 dOme studiOs. 


Lyrics:

Mad Mike led a normal life
had a 7 year old son and a doting wife. 
All day wasting away
does a job to get his pay
And when they're tucked in tight 
Mike clicks on the screen to the left and the right
Reads words which cause dismay 
his heart starts to rot and his brain decays

"I told them I was right I knew it all along
Those main stream sheep have got it all wrong
I told them I was right I've learned the truth
It's so concrete I don't need any proof."

Mad Mike lost control 
as the thoughts in his finally took hold
He knew who shot JFK, didn't land on the moon 
and Corona is fake
Then he roamed the streets 
hearing demons' voices on the breeze
One day he came home
his family was gone and they blocked his phone

I told them I was right and soon they'll see
Join my side of there be no mercy
I told them I was right the time has come
Cities and towns will be overrun

Mad Mike was left to fight with his head made fears 
and fleeting sight
And he writhed in fright
Hoping that someone will turn out the light

Mad Mike

Share this track with anyone who needs some positive vibes in this difficult time. Corona, it's going down.

This is the song I wrote about my most recent breakup. It is a very personal track, but I decided to share it with the SC community. I hope that others can relate. There is no malice, only love.......here are the lyrics.......

There are so many reasons to write a song
Some turn out too short and others run too long
I write songs about things I’ll never ever forget
And others about times I might soon regret. 
I wrote songs about people trying to overcome evil. 
I got songs about pandemics and global upheaval
Some turn out good, the others are really bad.
But this one is different, it’s not like the others
This one I wrote …..because I’m sad.


Heard songs asking people to finally come together.
I’ve heard others whose topic is simply the fucking weather
I know songs about advancing human evolution
And others that blast our unrelenting pollution. 
I know more about spreading that holy word called love
I’m quite sure it comes from somewhere up above. 
I’ll never forget the good times that we had. 
Maybe one day I’ll look back and maybe be glad. 
I’ll never forget the good times we had. 
Maybe one day I’ll look back and maybe be glad. 
This one is different. It’s not like the others.
A song about a heart that lives in a gutter. 
I wrote this song because………. I’m sad. 

Hope you all enjoyed it! 

Peace Tyler

And so……


And so, I have begun to rock
I don’t, don’t think I can stop
I only do this all for you
See mundane try and pull you through
These days it all seems the same
no vibes, life is kinda lame

I’ll share the place I like to start
I look deep deep inside my heart
That place where only love resides
Start to see see with all three eyes


I hear these songs inside my brain (brain)
It’s damn, damn hard to explain
I begin, begin to write them down
Know exactly how it will sound
And so I have begun to rock
I don’t, don’t think I can stop

My lyrics, I hope they make you care (care)
My riffs, I hope they take you there (there)
My bass, gonna make you stomp your feet (feet)
My beats, well can’t be beat (beat) ;)
And so, I have begun to rock
I don’t, don’t think that I can stop

Lyrics:
Oh the tide it rises 
With fomented fables as it
bursts through doors and windows 
dearly held is swiftly swept away. 
 
Verse 1
Situation dire, can't be overstated
The tides has reached the marble steps
made weak by an ever growing fissure
Lock arms or feel bereft
 
We bear witness to our de-evolution
as we to our tribes regress
it seeks to divide divide divide and conquer. 

Save me your "I heard people say"
Leave the tribe
Think for yourself today
Leave the tribe x 4
 
Unmask the tide, render completely naked
stripped of patriotic dress
For its credence, the wave seeks vindication
I tremble as it nears its crest. 
 
We must retard it, our de-evolution
before we to our tribes regress
it seeks to divide divide divide and conquer. 
 
Chorus:
Oh the tide it rises 
With fomented fables as it
bursts through doors and windows 
dearly held is swiftly swept away
 
Save me your "I heard people say"
Against the tide
Think for yourself one day
Against the tide
