Memoirs in a Song...
Stories, Stones and Bones is a name given to me in a dream some 10+ years ago. I used the title for my first book of lyrics when I sent it to be copywritten... This blog is a compendium of my book of lyrics, from 1996 to present.
The name holds a sense of ancient wisdom, which I hope begins to seep thru my songs: What are the stories the earth tells, that are written on our ancestral bones? What is the deeper pool of knowledge that we can drink from as we birth ourselves into creative evolutionary beings? Where are our roots? What is the journey we have taken, personally and collectively?...
And so begins the story, woven in song, as fallen through the lyrics of my music...
More lyrics will be coming soon (I've written well over 100 songs!)... In the meantime, I hope you enjoy!
[Please note that you will want to read from bottom to top (in reverse). The "archive by date" list on the lefthand side will help your journey - which begins in March of 1996, when the first song flew out of my lips... You can also search by THEMES: the songs which I like a lot or are in current performance rotation are in the theme of *favorites*]
Another really cute one. About the power of Spirit to inspire from within...
Ain’t nobody told me who to be
Ain’t nobody taught me how to see
No matter what they said
It didn’t make no difference till I changed my head
Cuz you gotta be open to the words that are spoken
How can I teach you if I cannot reach you
You’ve got to teach yourself
Gotta reach deep inside of yourself
You are a star
Find your own power and you will go far
You are a star
Let your light shine and you will go far
You are a star
Up high in the sky,
you will go higher
and higher
and higher
Filled with the fire
