The Sun's Golden Tavern 06:29
lyrics
buy track
The road is littered with oddities and illusions Meanwhile my world has been amended by the truth and confusion Is it all so meaningful? Is it all so powerful? Or is it ultimately meaningless? And I want to know, I want to know, I want to know, But do I really want to – know? And so it goes. And I'm embracing all that life may have to offer Not letting any moment slip away Opting to maintain my sense of dignity Or something resembling such if I may To use up my desire for unknowing To deliver my acceptance to defeat For if I am old enough now to know better, Can I still be young enough to be naïve? And as we gaze upon locations once out of focus, We find every aspect of reality coming into place Fitting together like crude puzzle pieces To tell the story once neatly arranged Of trading normality for a cultured perspective Of trading in one's definition of normality And again I've arrived to some kind of heaven And again I must be leaving And here we are, once more, the guests In the sun's golden tavern Oh here we are, once more, the guests In the sun's golden tavern And I have helped myself to a second helping As well as having been unable to help myself And I have befriended certain circumstances Knowing whatever the outcome, this will not end well But now I've arrived with these greetings of tranquility So often that they now know my name Still on this hedonist treadmill I keep on running Carrying the torch and tending to the flame And here we are, once more, the guests In the sun's golden tavern Oh here we are, once more, the guests In the sun's golden tavern Now we're standing in the future Looking at the same imperfections but from another angle Now here I am in the past Speaking of how things used to be So will you take this offering of the temporary moment? Will you allow me to exist in your memory? Or am I just a clownfish who pretends to be prophetic? To have you believe we're living in prophesy? And now here we are, once more, the guests In the sun's golden tavern Oh here we are, once more, the guests In the sun's golden tavern

Good Time 03:35
lyrics

Hello, what's going on? I'm speaking to you in the form of song To let you know that you belong For we're all just trying to have a good time So what's your name? Where are you from? Well, welcome to my home You see it's simple, we all just want To be able to have a good time But the politicians make war While the rest of us wonder what we're fighting for As the rich shield themselves with the poor When we could just be having a good time And the church and the state Have both been corrupted by hate We must remove the barriers that separate The people from having a good time And fear only gets power When people find that life's so sour That all their hopes have been devoured And they no longer can have a good time And no matter the gender or the race We're all looking for the same things We want love, liberty, and to feel safe And to be able to have a good time And you must know it's going to be ok There's no need to feel afraid We are all children of God And God can be whatever you claim And you must know it's going to be ok There's no need to feel afraid We are all children of God And God can be whatever you claim

Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis Cover) 04:40
lyrics
buy track
Wise men say Only fools rush in But I can't help falling in love with you Shall I stay? Would it be a sin If I can't help falling in love with you? Like a river flows Surely to the sea Darling, so it goes Some things are meant to be Take my hand Take my whole life, too For I can't help falling in love with you Like a river flows Surely to the sea Darling, so it goes Some things are meant to be (solo) For I can't help falling in love with you

Finding My Place In This World 04:23
lyrics
buy track
My love lit the candles And I cooked the dinner We may be poor but we have each other here and now Oh we are young, we are healthy And even though we are still suffering It's just the cost of existing in this world And though my words may have some virtue When careless or malice they'll hurt you For they are still human when they roll off the tongue But my vision is clear even though my methods are weird But what is life if not absurd? And I'm beginning to find my place in this world Oh it's right here in your arms And I'm beginning to find my place in this world Oh it's right here in your arms And they say just be who you are And you're going to be a star But I was living in my car when I met you And now I lead a life like some kind of gypsy And I'm not quite sure what you see in me But I value that you accept me for who I am Oh and I'm beginning to find my place in this world Oh it's right here in your arms And I'm beginning to find my place in this world Oh it's right here in your arms And I'm beginning to find my place in this world Oh it's right here in your arms And I'm beginning to find my place in this world Oh it's right here in your arms

Follow Your Dreams 04:03
lyrics
buy track
When your worldview is shattered And then you start to see the patterns Of how it's always been but was never meant to be Well last night my mother said she had a dream She said I died and that she grieved But I'm very much alive and I believe You got to follow your dreams and don't let your nightmares follow you You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams and don't let your nightmares follow you Now I was practicing my devotion When I suddenly got the notion That it sounded better with a little distortion anyway And let me tell you, I had my doubts I had my downs and I had my outs But then I finally figured what it's all about You got to follow your dreams and don't let your nightmares follow you You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams and don't let your nightmares follow you And a curious mind is an educated mind And a curious mind is an educated mind And a curious mind is an educated mind And a curious mind is an educated mind You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams

I Believe In You 05:23
lyrics

Don't be surprised when you start to get what you wished for When finally the future comes looking for you And figuring out who you are is always the hardest part, but you deserve the self-love, yeah And everyone has a purpose even if it's to discourage, I can assure you of this Yeah and I believe in you, do you believe in me? Oh I believe in you, do you believe in me? Oh I believe in you, do you believe in me? And I grew up in a little town called Canby Which taught me to believe in the possibilities And wherever I go in life I'll never stop dreaming and believing And I'm grateful I am to have been where I've been To have met who I met and to have called them my friends Their stories they shared which inspired my own When I didn't have a place to live, oh I still had a home And I believe in you, do you believe in me? Oh I believe in you, do you believe in me? Oh I believe in you, do you believe in me? Oh I believe in you, do you believe in me? Oh I believe in you, do you believe in me? Oh I believe in you, do you believe in me? And don't be surprised by the disguise that the messenger wears Nor the situations in which you find yourself saying your prayers Oh don't be surprised by the disguise that the messenger wears Nor the situations in which you find yourself saying your prayers Yeah and I believe in you, do you believe in me? Oh I believe in you, do you believe in me? Oh I believe in you, do you believe in me? On more time And I believe in you, do you believe in me? Oh I believe in you, do you believe in me? Oh I believe in you, do you believe in me?

about

Thought I'd upload this one just for fun. I had a great time performing at the 6th Annual Los Angeles Dance Film Festival and wanted to share. Definitely a lofi bootleg quality recording, but even the bootlegs of today are better than the highest quality recordings of yesteryear at the dawning of the art form, so why not add it to the archive? It was a lovely experience - a little bit of ambience as the guests arrive. Delightful.
