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*]
Feeling the sweet pulsating ocean's tide... Feeling sadness for a love not returned... Yet feeling such fullness and contentment, ultimately...
Intro:
Don’t be afraid my friend
I’ll love you through the end
I just wanna fill your cup
C’mon open, open up
Can you feel, it is real
When I say love can heal
Chorus:
Sweet devotion
Our love, it is the ocean
Sweet devotion
Lemme fill you up (fulfill you up)
with this love potion
Sweet devotion
Sweet emotion
Verse 1:
Oh lover come to meeee...
You are the river, I am the ocean
We are one in perpetual motion
You are the river, I am the ocean
You give me love, I give you devotion
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
Great Spirit said to me
You are the river, I am the ocean
We are one in perpetual motion
You are the river, I am the ocean
You give me love, I give you devotion
(Chorus)
Outro:
Great Spirit sang to me (lalla hu...)
The ocean is deep and the river is wide
Oo oo risin’ with the tide(x2)
The ocean is deep and the river is wild
Oo oo water moonchild. . .
