Like I Could Ride Forever 06:08
lyrics

Like I Could Ride Forever Rain blowing sideways on this icy night I've got miles to go Headwind's coming off the Seto Sea to my left I'm drenched, head-to-toe Almost feel like I don't want to stop, like I could ride forever Almost feel like I may never stop, I think I'll ride forever Tiny little cars all racing by We're all out to win Pedals pushing forward on the slick black road Sudden stillness within Almost feel like I don't want to stop, like I could ride forever Almost feel like I may never stop, I think I'll ride forever Take me back, take me back... Take me back to Yashima Take me back, take me back... Take me back to Yashima Lights flashing, Saturday night Locals looking for fun Not another bicycle in sight Looks like I'm the only one Home's just up ahead The thought runs through my head... Almost feel like I don't want to stop, like I could ride forever Almost feel like I may never stop, I think I'll ride forever

I Don't Want To Miss The Setting Sun Baby, let's pull out our guitars We'll play with the stars tonight Oh yeah, let's take a ride to Mars We'll hold our breath and it'll be all right I don't want to miss the setting sun I don't want to be the only one I don't want to miss out on fun with you Baby, summer's here again Let's disappear 'til who knows when Oh yeah, let's go out tonight We'll touch the sky, then back again I don't want to miss the setting sun I don't want to be the only one I don't want to miss out on fun with you

Scissors 03:43
lyrics

Scissors Talk to me about the consequences Of pulling down the barbed-wire fences The ones that line the memories in your mind Tell me how you're gonna get perspective When you're getting paid to be a pet detective Or have you got all the facts you think you need to find? Scissors coming out again Those wings could use a trim again What would I do if you ever got away from me? I love you... Loyalty – Let's hand it down Royalty – Right back around Them or me – Tell me who you gonna choose today? Let's turn it on the next generation It's better than any medication My job is to get all the love I can out of this child Scissors coming out again Those wings could use a trim again What would I do if you ever got away from me? I love you...

Circling Overhead 02:24
lyrics

Circling Overhead Looking for perfection In my life's direction Haven't quite found it yet Don't wanna show my hand And end up hating where I land I figure circles are my safest bet If you need me Look up, you'll see me I'll be circling overhead Call me on the radio See me on the video I'm circling overhead I wanna take a ride So I got myself a glider I don't even have to buy any gas I'm hanging on to hope That you might have a tow rope I'm kinda going nowhere fast If you need me Look up, you'll see me I'll be circling overhead Call me on the radio See me on the video I'm circling overhead I wanna take a ride But it's safer inside Looking for perfection In my life's direction Haven't quite found it yet Let's just wait and see I'll keep you company Won't make a move I might regret If you need me Look up, you'll see me I'll be circling overhead Call me on the radio See me on the video I'm circling overhead

Runway Another sunrise, another fire on the breeze I never knew they made days like these Send me an angel, send me a song Send me an answer when I get it wrong Send me a runway, send me a plane Send me a bill when you get my name Another summer, another green upon the trees I never knew they made seasons like these Send me an angel, send me a song Send me an answer when I get it wrong Send me a runway, send me a plane Send me a bill when you get my name Another winter, how about another cup of tea? I never knew they made lifetimes like these Send me an angel, send me a song Send me an answer when I get it wrong Send me a runway, send me a plane Send me a bill when you get my name Send me an angel, send me a song Send me an answer when I get it wrong Send me a strong wind, send me a wing Send me whatever life may bring

Spark In Your Heart 04:07
lyrics

Spark In Your Heart Can I come and sit on your couch with you for awhile? Move all those boxes out of the way, make some room for a smile Pack up the crates with all the things we'll never know Cut the nets on our favorite regrets and let them go There's a spark in your heart, a song in your eyes A painting of hope beneath your disguise Long before you and I were born, the battle lines were drawn Let's take the day to sink our toes in the grass, let's linger on the lawn I'd love to tell you all my dreams and hopes, I'd like to hear yours, too Draw back the curtain and I know for certain, I'm face to face with you There's a spark in your heart, a song in your eyes A painting of hope beneath your disguise

The Deepest Compassion 06:09
lyrics
buy track
The Deepest Compassion I've seen your work, heard your song Felt your passion, and your heart beating strong Tasted days when you couldn't go wrong I've felt your focus, like a laser beam Had to look away, crazy as it seems Taste your cooking, like I'm living in a dream And the deepest compassion I can ever show Is to let you live your own life, is to let you go Where you will We share a vision, a common goal We share our secrets, and we'll never tell a soul And when you smile, I just can't say 'no' It comes together and we celebrate We laugh about all those times we couldn't wait I look to you to help keep me straight And the deepest compassion I can ever show Is to let you live your own life, is to let you go Where you will If you can feel, or see, or hear it If it's something you can taste or smell Then there's a deadline involved, as far as I can tell So let's not waste time searching for answers Beat our heads against the wall asking, “why?” When the day comes, let me kiss you goodbye And the deepest compassion I can ever show Is to let you live your own life, is to let you go Where you will

Next Big Thing 01:50

Next Big Thing Well I've got myself the hardwood floors Pitched my tent on distant shores Cars don't do it for me anymore And the fantasies all in my head Things that make my face turn red Think I'll have a nice sandwich, instead (Ch) You know I'm looking for the next big thing You know I'm looking for the next big thing Always looking for the next big thing The next big thing They tell me I'm a "4" on the Enneagram Drama queen is just what I am Pretending I'm not was such a scam I like to act like I don't care But I'm watching you from behind my hair Post it on my website, yeah (Ch) (solo) (Ch)

Open Hand 03:35
lyrics

Open Hand Last night when I went to bed I thought everything was fine Wake up, cup of coffee, and realize none of this is mine Can you see me standing right before you? You don't believe me, but Time will not ignore you Walking backwards, we'll never find World of memories we've left behind Hearts will open and we will see Breath will follow, we fly free I'll hold you closely with an open hand Chase my restlessness off to distant lands Thought my happiness rested in your hands Never satisfied, always on the move Diamond stylus, stuck in the groove Look into the mirror with one eye closed Standing on one leg; hope nobody notices Broke so many promises... Last night when I went to bed I thought everything was fine Wake up, cup of coffee, responsibility is mine Walking backwards, we'll never find World of memories we've left behind I'll hold you closely with an open hand And when you move on I will understand I'll hold you closely with an open hand And when you move on...

Running Away With You I'm thinking about running away running away running away I'm talking about running away with you I say we go to Paris, France We'd better do it now, while we have the chance I'm talking about running away with you I say we go to Japan They have the best sushi in all the land I'm talking about running away with you I'm thinking about running away running away running away I'm talking about running away with you I say we go to the moon They're gonna have hotels there pretty soon I'm talking about running away with you Let's go to the ocean floor We'll never have to pay for fish anymore I'm talking about running away with you I'm thinking about running away running away running away I'm talking about running away with you I say we go downtown We'll find ourselves a band with a special sound I'm talking about running away with you I say we just stay at home It's cheaper and I love you, we don't need to roam I'm talking about running away with you I'm thinking about running away running away running away I'm talking about running away with you

Fools Like Me 04:15
lyrics

Fools Like Me Well, Sweetie I know that I talk too much And I'm not always super in bed When I'm drinking my wine or got things on my mind I don't always hear what you said Too stupid to lay down and go to sleep, Too stubborn to give up my dreams I spend all of our money on old guitars and amplification, it seems The sky is so bright it squeezes my heart Let's call it blue Because we're living the life Yeah, we're living the dream I sat meditation, released all sensation I guess that it's true what they say I was enlightened, my senses were heightened But I lost it along the way Now that the bottle is empty Not that the story's been told Now that the cards are on the table Will you play with me as we grow old? The sky is so bright it squeezes my heart Let's call it blue Because we're living the life Yeah, we're living the dream Well, Sweetie I know that I think too much And I'm always up in my head My habits are telling, correcting your spelling I don't always hear what you've said Thank you for being so gracious, I guess that it's easy to see Thank you for being so patient, For putting up with the likes of me Your love is so bright it squeezes my heart Let's call it blue Because we're living the life Yeah, we're living the dream

Dream Time (Instrumental)

about

Armed with dream guitar and amplifier, his objective for the month of July, 2010 was clear: to immerse himself in the creative process, keeping both heart and mind open to whatever might emerge.

For three weeks straight, he chased this dream furiously and passionately, locking himself in his studio and working from early in the morning late into the night, pausing only for basic necessities like coffee, food, and sleep.

After that final mixdown on Day 23, he collapsed with a smile. He hopes it makes you smile, too.
