I was looking through a few folders of my music files and found a few tracks that I had done in Sonar and Reason a few years back. Since I am still trying to heal my voice right now I decided to upload this one as my first one to DSound.
In Chinese culture there is the idea of the Immortals who are part of the Taoist tradition. I claim no authority in these matters but I have spent some time with the Tao Te Ching and the I Ching and have always felt an affinity to Taosim.
While I have written a fair amount of music using software/samples/synths, this is the only track that I have written lyrics for that was not composed on the guitar...perhaps it is the type of song that one writes if one is a taoist hermit like myself.
All of the music and vocals are me except for the solo electric guitar which was played by Rich Taylor
Peace to You
We are all
All we are
To be here with you
I've traveled far
Brought by friends
Of spirit light
They have helped me find my way
Through the night
Now I don't mean
To criticize
But the truth be told
And not denied
We had to come down
From on high
You could not
Climb the mountain
We've been hiding up in the air
You don't mind us there
Where we drift upon the days
Flying up in the air
As your gazes stare
Vacantly away
Spread the word
It is the time
We have got to learn
A way of life
In your heart
It does dwell
And there you will start
To incant the spell
If this world
You do love
Listen to the voices
From above
Sometimes you know
To be All One
You have to be Alone
You will find it up in the air
Let it take you there
Where we patiently await
Try it up in the air
I can see you there
As you reach toward the day
