if i were vashti bunyan

A sultry, jazz-Latin fusion with hypnotic guitar lines and a mesmerizing female vocal, this song explores the paradox of finding freedom in emptiness. Lyrics weave Zen philosophy into a smoky, rhythmic reverie—where letting go of thought becomes a dance with the infinite.

[Verse 1]
No peace inside my mind
Can you bring me ease?
The master smiled and whispered low
"Just surrender—then you’ll see"

[Verse 2]
I searched for my mind
But it slipped right through my hands
The master laughed and said
"My friend, you understand"

[Chorus]
No mind, no problem
No mind, no pain
No mind, no problem
Let it go—float away

[Break]

[Verse 3]
If there’s no mind to hold
Then there’s no weight to bear
If there’s no weight to carry
Then why should I care?

[Verse 4]
Now I’m driftin’ outta my mind
Like a leaf on the breeze
No one left to argue with
Just silence—just me

[Bridge]
What’s left when the thinking is gone?
Just the sky and the hum of the dawn
No questions, no answers to find—
Just the echo of what’s left behind

[Chorus]
No mind, no problem
No mind, no chains
No mind, no problem
Free at last—unafraid

[End]


No Mind, No Problem

WISDOM OF THE WATERKEEPERS. 

OUR DESTINY AS ENCHANTMENT 
THE EARTH IS SIMPLY ATTRACTING 
THE ELECTRON IS SIMPLY ATTRACTED
THE GALAXY IS SIMPLY ATTRACTING 
YOU ARE SIMPLY ATTRACTING

DISCOVERING  THE AFFECTION OF THE MYSTERIOUS REALM.
WHAT WAS FORMELY INVISIBLE NOW SHOWS ITSELF CLEARLY.

ALLUREMENT IS THE ACTIVITY OF LOVE.
