Last week our power was out for 72 hours, so I wrote a new song. Today I made a rough recording of it. Right-mouse click on the link below to Save As and have a listen. (It’s best with good speakers, not laptop speakers. I’m not dissing your laptop speakers. I’m just saying, it isn’t properly mixed, so it needs good speakers to pick up the slack.)

Here and There

things aren’t what they used to be
so far as i can tell
or things are what they’ve always been
a reflection of myself
‘look,’ my memories say to me
’see the spirits of the air’
but to see is no longer to believe
when you see what isn’t there

thy kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in theory
give us this day our peace of mind
here and there

if i looked into the heart of the abyss
i’ll tell you what i’d see
nothing i couldn’t find in a stolen kiss
or in a burial out at sea
if i come face to face with god
i doubt it very much
if such an encounter could explain
the meaning of a daughter’s touch

thy kingdom come, thy will be done
on earth as it is in theory
give us this day our peace of mind
here and there
