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*]

Listen

A spirited and soulful reminder. Born of the campfire inspirational songs from the "Rainbow" Gathering - the colorful world of hippy love love that I discovered much joy within...

Listen what your mama sayin’
Listen what your mama say, yeah yeah yeah
Can you hear her prayin’?
Listen what your mama say
She know the way

Listen to your sister speakin’
Listen to your sister’s story, yeah yeah yeah
In all her glory
Let her share the secrets she keep
Let her speak

Listen to your brotherheart, yeah
Listen to your brotherheart beating, yeah yeah yeah
Gotta keep believing
Listen to your brotherheart
Make a brand new start

Listen what your body tell you
Listen what your body feel, yeah yeah yeah
Let it heal you
Listen what your body know
Let it flow

Listen to your intuition
Let go of your inhibitions, yeah
Trust your vision
Listen to your first instinct
Don’t stop to think

Listen to your spiritsong, yeah
Listen to your spiritsong singin’, yeah yeah yeah
It knows everything
Listen to your spiritsong
And sing along
