Shenandoah

First release from the upcoming EP "Future Ruins"

Lyrics:

Sometimes in life you’ve got to sacrifice
You’ve got to make the most of what you’re working with (2x)

I give you this funky music
Please do not abuse it, use it
For a higher purpose
Maybe start a movement to it
I produce it and I hope that it hits you
Like something that’s Buddhist
In a way that is not violent
It’s soothing to all of its students
This is just another prudent 
Example of how to do this
You can do it too
Just focus on the moment & try to improve it
It’s foolish how we waste our precious time on school 
It’s stupid, It’s as useless as an arrow with no cupid there to shoot it

Sometimes in life you’ve got to sacrifice
You’ve got to make the most of what you’re working with (2x)

Life’s a Rubix cube full of colorful influence
And it’s all interconnected by an energy that’s fluid
Jump straight into it and let it move you into a new mix
To be a nuisance, get up get out and be congruent
To what you find of value
And not just what you want to ruin
We’re all a shoe in for a dream come true
And trying not to lose it
‘Cause gaining first means sacrificing more than just your two cents
You gotta make the most of what you got and keep it moving

Sometimes in life you’ve got to sacrifice
You’ve got to make the most of what you’re working with (2x)

(Ahh)
It’s amazing how amused with rumors we can be as humans
Like tumors in our ears that just de-tune all the acoustics
Were so amused with uselessness we just grow fat & toothless
Glue ourselves to tubes and watch the imagery confuse us
Life’s a precious gift that doesn’t seem to fit to group with
Doing something mindless everyday while eating Cool whip
It’s like we’ve got a rope to climb but instead we’re tying nooses
We’ve got to get to climbing and stop making new excuses

Sacrifice

A wonderful song written and performed by my good friend Bill Gessner.  On his first CD "Welcome to Gessnerville, pop. 19" 2001.  This was played at Bill's memorial service 5/18/19 and over a hundred sang along.

Love Is Large- Bill Gessner song
