This rock/blues thumps with heavy bass, drums, and guitar licks. 
The lyrics are introspective and contemplative, with themes of self-discovery and self-realization. The song speaks of having the answers long before the questions, and how one’s wildest dreams can violently haunt them. 

The lyrics also touch on the idea of worth being de-materialized and paradigms being scrutinized. The song has a catchy chorus that repeats the phrase “Rapid Heartbeat, Barely Breathing” and asks the question “Why would we choose to live alone?” The song ends on a hopeful note, with the lyrics speaking of open hearts and minds deciding.

When corporate profits usurp justice, justice lands in the hands at will.

Finding peace within yourself is a most rewarding experience. An intense song for transformation of peace. In the end, open hearts and minds decide.

Lyrics:

Heartbeat, Adelphos
Maginel / Kabadi

All along it seems I had the answers inside; long before the questions, long before suspicions.
And my quiet dreams violently haunt me; long before the sunrise, my desires arise.
In the end I'll hand over all I've earned; long before before I realize, worth dematerialized.
Always remembering all I've learned; paradigms scrutinized, long before my mind decides.

Rapid heartbeat
Barely breathing
Why do we choose to live alone?
Rapid heartbeat

Recognized my mind has been mistaken; false beliefs ostracized, all is clear before my eyes.
And my heart has clearly been forsaken; cracks in armor calcified, nothing new before my eyes.
So now today I ask the questions outside; facing down the cancer, solicit the answer.
And my quiet sleep so softly soothes me; long before the moonrise, worries de-dramatized.

Rapid heartbeat
Really living
I will not choose to live alone!
Rapid heartbeat

All along it seems we've had the answers inside; long before the questions, long before suspicions.
Always remembering all we've learned; paradigms scrutinized, open minds and hearts decide.

Barnum, Bass Guitar

What do YOU want to be when you grow up?  A ROCK STAR of course!!!! :) Or maybe I'll play reggae?  No, Blues - definitely the Blues.   Perhaps just play what comes out. Yes.

I've enjoyed the company of Country, Jazz, Punk, Rock, Blues, and CCM musicians across the United States.
