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 adorably sweet one... And again - so true!
Simple as a song we can all sing along
Simple as the sun rising to a new dawn
Chorus:
It’s simple, so simple to be free
It’s simple to be you and it’s simple to be me
Yeah, simplicity is the city I like to live in
Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity
Simple as a sparrow whistling in the air
Simple as the wind blowing through my hair
Simple as a fire keeping us warm
Simple as the springtime after the storm
Simple as a child waiting to be born
Simple as a dream waiting to take form
