The Setting Of The Sun (free) 03:08
Take little time, a little time Before Life's over The truth is there to find We all can shine before the setting of the sun Life is a fragile thing Like a memory of a dream Before we awake from the breath we take Lets do some living Spend most our lives Being terrorized about dyeing The fear of the unknown commercialized Until we're scared into buying the shit they sell That we don't need, now it's no wonder We've trapped our souls in the service of greed It's like a spell we're under. So, take a little time, a little time Before life's over The truth is there to find We all can shine before the setting of the sun Advertisers try to trick our brains Into believing The world they're pushing on us is sane But it's cold and greedy There's more to life than material It's all about love And our consciousness is etherial We're on a journey

Short Line 03:00
Standing in a short line And I've been waiting here fro way too long I don't even know what I'm here for. Are we living in a society That's under occupation of big money Are we working for our wages Or are we only working off servitude in our cages Oh, Where did we go wrong I wonder And is it too late Standing in a short line And I've been waiting here fro way too long I don't even know what I'm here for. Theres dubious corporations Who puppet politicians of big nations And they sod us o the lie that we want it And we're creatures of comfort so we bought it Now we're all ruining the planet Future generations will remember us As the ones who damned it. Standing in a short line And I've been waiting here fro way too long I don't even got my hand out. Like Pavlov's dogs We drool and salivate To the lies they advertise And propagate Before we know it It'll be what too late And we're standing in the short line

True Blue 02:08
True Blue won't you guide me on / As you've done for all these years / The night is dark and the road is long / And I can't see through my fears / Like a compus on my journey / Reveil the path I can't see / Shine the light and lead the way / True Blue won't you guide me home / I need a helping hand / I know you'll never steer me wrong / And I'll find my way again / Like a lighthouse in the dark sea / I'll go forward confidently / And the night turns to day / True Blue won't you guide me through / This world and all it's fears / I know I'll always count on you / When the road aheads not clear / True Blue - won't you guide me home.

I'm One 03:59
When I'm all alone and feel sad and lonely / I've got my guitar to console me / And sing to me a melody / My mood it changes when the music is playing / Inspiration from the words while I'm singing / Touch my soul and set me free / Like A wave that crashes on a castle of sand / The chords vibrate from this guitar in my hand / In the moment I transcend / Like the castle walls that melt to the beach / I find that place in me so hard to reach / So I'll never let it end I feel part of it all / large and small / From the universe to my feet / Part of the ocean tied / And the stars in the sky / And the souls in front of me / And I'm one / When I hear my favorite song The drums are liberating The bass line is freeing Vibrates every once of my being And shakes away all the pain Every note, every measure of every bar Every lyric, every rhythm, every chord from my guitar Are like lightning inside of me Like a message in a bottle that floats in the sea The music is a wave that crashes into me And in that moment I transcend Like the discarded bottle once the message is read It's empty inside when the music is dead So I'll never let it end I feel part of it all large and small From the universe to my feet Part of the ocean tied And the stars in the sky And the souls in front of me And I'm one When I hear my favorite song

I can't wait No fear as my feet Just move right along down the road that my souls seeks New state of mind Leaving doubt behind Let the shadow of my dreams Be there no more and a path I'll find Take my time, Take my time Because It's the only thing thats mine I'll take my time Gone are that days when I'm scared of my future Gonna look straight ahead and smile Not lost or afraid out here on the open road So i'm just gonna be free for awhile. The ones in control Don't really know Any more than you or I They're just crazy enough to lie Misguided rules Enforced by fools But out here on the open road I feel very far removed Faith is my guide, Faith is my guide Faith in something bigger than I Faith is my guide Gone are that days when I'm scared of my future Gonna look straight ahead and smile Not lost or afraid out here on the open road So i'm just gonna be free for awhile.

about

This is a collection of experimental songs.

What started out as fragments of lyrics and melodies,
turned into multi-layered pieces of music that are rich with texture.
When I started on this project, I wasn't sure where I was going.
It was a stroll through audio wilderness.
I was creating a path through a forest of new ideas.
Experimenting with deferent sounds and styles.

I was on a journey of artistic expression.
But, was I on a king's quest or a fools errand?
