Live looped vocals as accompaniment to an original song of mine - "Becoming".
My parents are in town and playing with Thing One and Thing Two in the yard so I was able to get a rare moment to myself today - I even waxed my mustachio for your viewing pleasure.
My sincere thanks and respect and admiration to 
This is an old song and it is a new song. I wrote the first two verses two years ago when I was laid off from my upper level corporate job as a district manager for a large market research company with research facilities across the country. It is always interesting to find yourself standing at the crossroads when the possibilities are endless and the hopes and fears are competing for your heart. Love always wins though - just choose to go with love and you will be fine wherever you go.
I wrote the last verse just a few minutes ago before I recorded this. I find myself again laid off from a different job and standing on the metaphorical mountain peak surveying the kingdom of my life. Thing One and Thing Two are princes who will carry me far in my new campaigns, and

Becoming
Becoming lyrics
What else should I become in this life?
What form should I assume?
Echoes in an empty room
Whispers in the forest
Water runs and water is frozen
Echoes in an empty room
Echoes in an empty room
What else should I transform in this life?
What things should I consume?
Echoes in an empty room
Silence on the mountain
Water deep and water runs shallow
Shadows of an afternoon [repeats]
What roads should I avoid in this life?
What dark places still loom?
Echoes of a friend who is gone
Whispers of a lover
Water cleans and water remembers
Every rock will crumble to sand [repeats]
