[Verse 1]
In the realm of tales, where myths are spun,
A quest for truth, under the sun.
We peel the layers, of legends old,
Seeking the kernel, the story untold.

[Verse 2]
With every borrowing, every moral interwoven,
Nature's cycles, in stories cloven.
A labor of love, to find what's real,
Beneath the myths, the essence to reveal.

[Chorus]
But even in history's sobering gaze,
We find the need, the truth to appraise.
For no one pens, without a shade,
The clear and apparent truth, so vaguely laid.

[Verse 3]
What might be truth, in the heart of the tale,
A quest mythologists, tirelessly unveil.
Through distortions, and influences wide,
We seek the essence, that might reside.

[Chorus]
For in every story, in each recounted deed,
Lies a blend of truth and myth, intercede.
A journey through veils, to what might be true,
In the heart of legends, and histories too.

[Outro]
So here's to the seekers, in myths and in time,
Who search for the kernel, through the grime.
In the veils of truth, our quest never ends,
For in the pursuit, our spirit transcends.

Quest for the Kernel

Winnipeg composer, retired from the farm, still chasing meaning in melody. My work lives where TV cues meet YouTube soundscapes, with a few albums in between. Built in Mixcraft Pro, fuelled by late-night coffee, stubborn curiosity, and a Stoic’s sense of timing. Also writing on politics, history, and philosophy, because sound isn’t my only instrument.
