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*]

Silver Soul

Silver soul
shine like the moon
singing of a new day
dawning soon
Silver soul
shine like the moon
singing of a new day
dawning soon

It may take some time
It may take some years
It may take some blood, sweat and tears
But if we keep on working through the night
Behold, we will rise to a brand new light

Let it Slip Away

Watching the sand slip through my fingers, witness to the eventual dissolution of all things... ...reminds me to let go, enjoy the moment!

I wanna love you and hold you so
I wanna squeeze you till you let it all go
And you know it’s in the flow
Just release and let your mind slow
And I know how you feel
Always asking, can this be real

And this crazy world is drivin’ you mad
One minute you’re happy, the next you are sad
And this crazy world keeps you runnin’ all day
Runnin’ to catch up, then runnin’ away

Let it slip away
Let it slip away yeah
Like the sand
through my hand
on a windy day
Let it slip away yeah

Outro: Everything fades to nothing anyway
Everything fades away...
