Though the imagery of song depicted here is quite dark, It is born from a place of beauty; profound. And as I have tried my best to bring to you, my world, which is a magical place of beauty; divine.

My Soul is so tired, and often, if not daily I have a longing to return home. The best I can do is bring a bit of "home" here, to share with you. . I had a realization recently, I use to think I wrote songs for my own sake, an escape.. No, that's not it, I see so much incredible beauty in the world, I always have, every moment is a brand new wonder (We can choose to look over here- or look over there) ..So, these songs are my way to share what beauty I know...

For a month I have been creating "a song a night" the last song "Rainbows Up Side Down" was such one song in the series. Each song I put myself into the exact same thought.. foregoing sleep most nights, If I have been a bit absent and absent minded :)) , this is why. But I wanted to get to a place of being organic to completely letting go, what song I started, I finished that night.. I wanted the song to come without any prompting any scripting .. So yes,this song here was improvised, a sincere and pure passion. And In my minds eye, something so incredibly beautiful freed my soul for these moments, I did not expect it, ... The melody and lyrics were born of the moment..

I also wanted to be as raw as possible, this is just an acoustic guitar and voice.. I do apologize for the video.. For some reason my camera did not sync up to the icloud and my memory filled up rather quickly..Though two versions of this song I did catch that night in its original, this obviously isn't, I feel this was the best audio and was completed that night (as a single moment).. But the moment here in this video is just as real, and this is the avenue the universe took me down, with the same emotion and conviction of thought and projected of energy that I have used for the last month to create all the other works -.. If interested, in the alt version I will link to the unlisted videos..

If there is anything I could ask any listener, leave here with something beautiful and transfer that feeling to someone else.. We are the catalyst, we are the way forward.. Thank You → " 'you can only see what you already have inside of you' " →An Incredibly beautiful person shared this with me recently.

Yeah, I was doing everything to hold back the tears yet again .. I apologize if this song is too raw, too real.. The Joy is real, the pain is just as real. Even the trees shed a tear at that moment..

~Have you ever seen
A desert with a jaded moon
it rises on tides of endless sand
pools that bled
from my broken heart
I stare up to heaven
and I cry out your name_!
for even a single star
of your light
and like shifting sands
bringing mirages
A shadow of you
quickens my heart.~

Off the wall and strange, but I had A.I. make a bunch of images for me about a month ago, most of them did not make sense, but what is strange, as time has gone by and these new songs were made, I started seeing a pattern .. Is reality a mathematical equation already with a predetermined conclusion .. This thought right here is one that makes me want to run to those mountains..
