I wrote this song for myself... A song to call myself out, to sniff the BS and help me laugh at the irony of being alive...
Humor is all we got, most days... Milk it! Savor every drop... Savor every now... Chuckle along the way... Choose to be happy, without some convenient excuse like satisfaction of desire... Every moment you choose to be happy will be a happy memory, I guarantee it...
I recorded the song in, 2012, while staying in Holland... I had a mobile studio, with Ableton Live running on a netbook... The folks I was staying with had the bass, and I had brought my Martin from the USA... I hung the mic from the ceiling fan, and the family had a 12 year old son who let me borrow his trombone... I am no pro, but I sort of just edited out what your ears might not wish to hear...
Why would I write an obnoxious funk song about meditating? I really love the mashup, being sort of sick of those lavender colored new age monotone youturd videos... I feel like, no sorry, the music I like sounds like THIS, but the things I like to think about are more like THIS...
I dunno if that makes sense, but this tune is about a guy who gets off his butt by sitting down and meditating... In the course of the song he gets enlightened, maybe... You decide!
Merry holidays, folk! Here is another tune for your yuletide irony... It is called, 'LOL!' and was recorded in 2009, same musical set up... I do believe this was even played on the air once, when I sent it to KPFT Houston Public Radio...
The video was footage I shot in 2006, for a song I hadn't written yet... (LOL!) That was what I told the university of washington security when they asked me what was up... I had spread out, in the middle of red square, the world's largest crossword puzzle, and laid several random artifacts from my life in that period... I was sort of crazy back then, going through an 18-month divorce which I am still healing from...
Well, that was depressing! How about a moneyart giveaway for the two bills you see in this post? If the payout hits $50, I will draw a winning name of any folks who resteem this and let me know in a comment... The winner can pick which bill they want... If the payout hits $100, I'll do a second drawing, and pick an additional winner... Only one winner per person! And I will ship worldwide, for free... The first bill is Indian Rupees, and the second bill is from Qatar...
Okay, upvote, resteem, and tell me about it in a comment! And other fun things, related to this post...
Love your song!
Resteemed.
My son(almost one) started dancing as soon as i hit play.
That is so cool!! I hope I planted a seed that will sprout his soulwings!
You really boost my imagination.
I dreamed he could levitate once.
Hey, it could happen.
I think Mary Poppins is more accurate on how we fly, than most MARVEL movies! Gravity, grave, gravitation... Levity, life, levitation... I wrote a whole song about it 11 years ago!
What's mine is yours bc you are divine
And every single tingle going up my spine is showing me i am towing the line.
Who are you?!
I think you just became my favorite musician. I simply cannot stop being moved and tingly.
LOL! I am grateful that life has brought you to a place where my expressions can be appreciated! I don't find many who can handle it... This song started as a poem, one that I wrote in a really hip church during my Christian phase... Gonna send you some music! Yay!
Got the email
I showed it to my husband.
He didnt say much, but wow. I went through so many emotions.
Okay. Yes. I can imagine you crying singing that.
Indian currency , nice currency...
What a tune. Just found this after listening to Terrence McKenna and watching videos about "Are we living in an A.I universe" and the trippy video and lyrics were pretty cool.
Oh man! I hadn't thought about the combined effect of reading several of my posts in a row... Holy cannoli!
I've been thinking of trying to make cannoli sometime....
"I get selfless with a little hell from my friends..."
Indian currency is best

Aww, thanks a bunch! I still play acoustic guitar, but
retired from the unpaid songwriter profession to become a starving artist! LOL...
Followed you to stay in touch with you dude. you know what i liked most? you are world traveler that's love :)
I followed you too! I liked your post about decision making... I am somewhat of a quantum thinker, in an amateur way... I enjoy how every decision we come to kinda creates another reality, because possibilities need to fulfill themselves... Or something like that! I need to stew on it a few more lifetimes, LOL...
dude you know i am working on another post that is about hope. How our bad decisions lead us to failure and how our hopes save us from complete drowning. you would love it. I HOPE SO :D lol
Good Jamz 💃💃, I love to meditate lol. Your voice is cool 😎
Thanks! So you're intelligent AND spiritual!!
You just got a lot cooler, and you were already golden, to me!
Nice to meet you friend. :)
