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!

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*]

Do You Believe?

Continuing on that theme begun in "Divine Intervention" - this one invites us to look even more deeply into the magic of the universe, to believe in the inherent freedom and interconnectedness of this web of earthly life...

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe we are free?
Do you believe there is a way
that I can be in you and you can be in me?
Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in me?
Do you believe in infinity?
An endless world of possibility!

Refrain:
I’m in you and you’re in me
and we’re both in all we see
I’m in you and you’re in me
Gotta believe we are free

In the fire and in the air
In the dream of the eagle and bear
In the wind blowin’ through the trees
In the mountains and the deep blue seas

In the song of a nightingale
In the story of the dolphin and whale
In the flight of a dragonfly
In the calm of a clear blue sky

In the free flow of a cloud
In the mystery behind the shroud
In the birth and in the death
In the in and out of every breath
