Black Hole Blues 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Somewhere in the universe Two black holes collide As heavy as stars As small as cities If you were nearby you would see nothing But the space would ring Deforming, squeezing and stretching None of the energy Comes out as light The black holes collide in complete darkness A clanging discordant score When black holes collide they make a sound In the empty darkness While space and time rings Dead stars collide old stars explode the big bang happened so long ago Black holes collide in complete darkness sound spreading in gravitational waves

Quantum Waves 03:48
lyrics
Beyond time and space In infinite blackness Invisible fields of energy Connecting all Connecting everything Impossible to separate Invisible fields of information Deep in the void all possibilities exist What choices will you make in this new future Trusting in the unknown Lose yourself in nothing To become everything Pure consciousness In infinite black space Where all possibilities All possibilities exist Surfing on a wave of Quantum Chaos No Body, No One, No Thing, No Where, No Time Ride the wave with the seed of love in you Heart Ride the wave beyond all space and time To become everything

When Gravity Fails 04:37
lyrics

When Gravity fails do you levitate and rise Above it all to the stars in the sky Look down through the holes in heaven’s floor And feel the stir of the angels’ wings Your Haunting smile fills me with bliss What’s on your mind I can only guess Gambling on magic hoping for love Together Out of the Night Instrumental The muezzin calls the faithful to prayer While the Gods drink whiskey without a care In the Shadow Country the exiles kiss Homesick for another world God may have a plan but the Devil drives Creating chaos attempting to divide When the world ends a new one shall be reborn Filled with love and peace Instrumental When Gravity fails do you levitate and rise Above it all to the stars in the sky When the world ends a new one shall be reborn Filled with peace and love Filled with peace and love

God Plays Dice 03:09
lyrics

Chorus: We all dance to mysterious tunes Does God Play Dice in an invisible room Only so much that one can see Seems detection creates Reality Verse 1: Cassandra was cursed for her ability To predict the future no one Believed Chorus Verse 2: Sometimes He throws the dice where they can’t be seen A Black Hole with no hair seems rather obscene Chorus Instrumental Verse Chorus So God plays dice habitually

Chorus: Afraid of the evil within me Afraid of the evil without Yelling up to heaven And heaven would not hear God gave Noah the Rainbow sign If you live sinful lives No more water The Fire Next Time What will happen to all that Beauty Verse 1: People bond together according to a principle That has nothing to do with love Seeking release from personal responsibility You can have no future No you can have no future when you’re unwilling unwilling to accept the past Chorus Verse 2: Even if I should speak No one would believe me Because they would know what I said was true When we were taught to love everybody It only applied to Those It only applied to Those Who believed Who believed as we did Chorus Verse 3: We will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives In order to deny the fact of death One day for each of us The sun will go down For the last time What will happen what will happen to all that beauty What will happen What will happen to all that beauty

The fire cleanse and lets you grow In with the new and out with the old Burn it up and free your soul Are you ready to let it go The things you don’t need anymore Are holding you back time to open the door To the new path you are searching for Let go of the things you don’t need anymore Hear the wind up in the trees Swirling and swaying with the leaves Let your body move and let your body sway Whispers to the wind is how I pray The waves rush in the waves rush out Water in motion makes me scream and shout The sound of the waves put me in a trance Makes me sway and want to dance Feel the earth beneath your feet A grounded path instant relief Earth’s energy can heal your soul Take off your shoes let the energy flow The Aether, heavenly substance above Lift your face to the sun Open your heart to who you really are Sing a song to the moon and stars

I’m so easily distracted Focus on problems left and right Instead of being in the moment Living a rich and fulfilled life Be Here Now Be Here Now Be Here Now Everything happens in its own time At the rate that it must go Some people get there in a hurry Others take it rather slow. Be Here Now Be Here Now Be Here Now When you’re ready to learn something It will find it’s way to you Be sure to listen very closely For every word may hold a clue. Be Here Now Be Here Now Be Here Now Sometimes you must learn a hard lesson. Before the next stage of your life. All the hardships all the suffering. May be blessings in disguise. Be Here Now Be Here Now Be Here Now Inst Verse Be Here Now Be Here Now Be Here Now The awesome drama of nature Unfolds before my eyes Everything living has a purpose Everything living someday dies. Be Here Now Be Here Now Be Here Now Be Here Now Be Here Now Be Here Now

Looking Glass 03:31
lyrics

Chorus: Please listen carefully Try not to hear what I’m not saying. Nothing to fear. That was a mirror. Now it’s a door. Metaphorically or maybe more Pass on through and you will find Multi dimensions Distortions in time Everything possible has already happened. Are you crying or are you laughing Verse 1: There are many paths to the unknown Through a looking glass, Down a rabbit hole Take a red pill or take a blue Free will It’s up to you Verse 2: There are many meanings and many truths In the old stories from your youth We’re all mad here or so it seems. Is this reality or a dream Bridge Chorus Verse 3: There is a chessboard a quantum field What is illusion and what is real Just a looking glass. You passed through If you believe in me I’ll believe in you Verse 4: A white rabbit A red queen Beyond the blackness A love supreme How can you finish if you don’t begin What will you lose if you win Bridge

Take to the Road 03:03
lyrics
Being lost is the same as exploring Finding new paths in the dark Belief is different than knowing Take to the road and follow your heart Yesterday is just like tomorrow Stuck in a rut everyday Take a leap maybe happiness follows Let’s get lost and find our way Being lost is the same as exploring It’s time to make a fresh start The winds of change they are a blowing Take to the road and follow your heart Not going to let our dreams die Let’s get lost and find our way Who knows where happiness lies May never know if we choose to stay

You are human focus on the being Then you will seeing The wonder of it all Awake and open up your eyes To expose all the lies You’ve been taught your whole life. Awake and fly away Don’t listen to what they say You know what’s best for you Be aware of who you are In wanderings near and far Evolve and break free Chorus: Love yourself as a Rainbow With Gold at both Ends All is in balance Dark’s paving the way for your light to expand You are human focus on the being Then you will be feeling Empathy for all Awake and open up your eyes Goodness will survive The dark days of this life Instrumental Half Verse Chorus

Verse 1: The sunrise woke me this morning The birds were singing. The breeze was light The clouds painted pictures in the sky That told a story only we could hear Verse 2: The sun feels warm on my skin Soothes my aches. Soothes my pain. The sounds of nature’s choir Fills me with hope. Fills me with Grace Chorus: When I open up my eyes I’m filled with gratitude. I’m filled with love To be able to explore the world with you Is the greatest gift I can think of Verse 3: With evening the stars come out The moon is bright. The air is clear. The fireflies bid us good night I feel so lucky for what we share Chorus Repeat last line

Only Borrowed 04:30
lyrics

Verse 1 The land’s not ours it’s only borrowed. We must give it back intact. New generations depend upon us. A sacred contract. Oh Blessed Earth. Mother Nature. I will do all that I can. To restore you to health & beauty. Despite the ravages of man. Chorus Everything Has a Meaning All Things have a voice In the vast cosmic ether. You still have a choice Earth spirits come together. Protect this land in need Bring us all a brighter future. Filled with love not with greed. Verse 2 There’s a pathway to the water. There’s a pathway deep inside The answer is all around us. See the trees reaching for the sky. Hold your hands up in surrender. It is not about me and you. There’s a greater plan all around us in Nature’s majestic view. Instrumental Chorus Verse 3 In a never ending cycle. Destruction and rebirth will come to pass It’s not too late to save our Mother. But the deadline is approaching fast Light filters thru between the shadows. Light and dark there side by side It is time to come together. Time to heal the great divide Chorus This land’s not ours it’s only borrowed. We must give it back intact

Giants 01:48
lyrics
Chorus 1: We once lived in the presence of giants We once swam in a crystal clear sea We once breathed air as pure as fire We once lived as free as our dreams We once worshipped a beautiful goddess We once cherished and respected the land We once lived in harmony with nature And offered those in need a helping hand Verse 1: Those that hungered for power tried to shackle the dreams They poisoned the water and cut down the trees Tried to silence the voices of freedom and light Brainwashed the people to not know what’s right Divided, Conquered, Filled people with fear Destroyed their friendships that once were held dear Chorus 1 Verse 2: But in the quest for more, more, more We lost our way and became morally poor Filled with anger and filled with greed Instead of with love and what we really need A planet that is safe and full of life Diverse and free not filled with strife Chorus 2: We once lived in the presence of giants We once swam in a crystal clear sea We once breathed air as pure as fire We once lived as free as our dreams Hatred never ceases by hatred But by love alone is healed View your enemy as a friend Try to imagine how that feels

Conscious Creators 03:40
lyrics

Verse 1: Heaven is always near. It’s always been here There are moments when the invisible transforms before your eyes. You can see it in the forest breathing you can hear it in the birds song You can smell it in the needles and resin of the pine Every landscape holds it’s own mystery, A reflection of who you are The land of Heaven offers it’s riches to all who are open Chorus: We create our own Heaven We create our own Hell We are conscious creators of our own reality Verse 2: Decay and decomposition creeps up on you Nothing is lost forever, when our heart’s light shines through Yes, weave yourself back into the fabric of Mother Earth Pierce the veil and see beyond the tragedies. Go beyond the mundane to meet the soul of the world Remove your black cloak and let your light spill open Inst Chorus Verse 3: Drive away the darkness and the terrors of the past Hell only exists in lonely hearts that remain closed When you find yourself lost in vast lands barren and empty Cross the path from illusion to a world where dreams began Live on the edge between two worlds the present and the past Travel the paths of your ancestors and follow the songlines back home Chorus: We create our own Heaven We create our own Hell We are conscious creators of our own reality We are conscious creators of our own destiny

The Sparrow Learns to Fly 01:32

In the Red Rock Jeweled Valley The Sparrow Learns to Fly One Hundred Thousand Songs Concentrating the scattered mind The impermanence of all things Devoid of essential being and void of self Thus have I heard Holy Mila the Cotton Clad At his back the Red Rock of Heaven Rises At his feet wild flowers bloom Drink the nectar of kindness and compassion Whispered Transmissions Follow the Dharma In the Red Rock Jeweled Valley The Sparrow Learns to Fly Follow the Dharma

about

“When Gravity Fails” is a rock concept album dealing with transformation and the quantum field.

Obstacles, misfortunes, and medical problems may provide catharsis for change, for transformation, for redemption. We are all Conscious Creators of our own destiny. We make our own Heaven and we make our own Hell. These wake up calls become a time to give up the things you no longer need, to Be Here Now, and to surf the waves of Quantum Chaos. Being lost is the same as exploring. Every mirror may become a door into the unknown. A portal to another world of dreams, of hope, of healing.

I am trying to learn how to fly by not standing still in this life, taking to the road exploring and searching for what’s new. A thousand songs may be locked inside me just waiting for the right moment to be released. Staring into the fire hoping to find truth and meaning, never knowing what comes next in the Great Unknown, I cherish my memories and every hour of life that I have left.

We are all Entangled in this Universe connected on levels that we never perceive. We are Human Beings grounded to this Earth by Gravity. The land is Only Borrowed. I live with hope that all will not be squandered for the next generations. There may no longer be Giants walking the Earth with us, however their ghosts remain.
