New Song!!!
No, this isn't really a new song. Just a new post. The lyrics I wrote to this song are largely based on the novel, "Brave New World". After reading the book last year, I knew I wanted to write a song about it. Finally it came. Although, I like the way it turned out, I'm not sure I spent as much time with the music on this one. It may end up as a b side rather than showing up on my cd. I don't know, we'll see. Nevertheless, I still like it alot and I can feel the passion every time I play it. I call it "The Great Condition". I took what is known as "The Great Commission" and changed it to look at how society shapes the world we live in and ultimately, if were not careful, control's it. Enough said. I think the song speaks for itself. Also, on another note, I am finding more and more how incredibly important the relationships we have are. I am constantly encouraged by the support and love of the people God has placed in my life. I can only hope and pray that he does this same good work in my heart. Much love to you all. I went to see Conan O' Brien in San Francisco on Friday. Conan fun and funny, Standing in line for 3 hours not fun or funny!!!!
The Great Condition
Doctor, Doctor, there is something wrong with the patient, he keeps responding
Telling me these issues that he harbor’s deep within cause too much pain to be a spark of imagination.
Chorus: Refill the Soma, police arrest this man he knows too much
Crush all that threatens what we’ve worked for
Call in the Medic, we have spotted someone thinking on their own
Let the drugs kick in then we’ll see just who has control.
Stare into white lights shining through the center of the wall inside your bubble.
And every time you feel a piece of something real, take two of these and let the light take you home.
Bridge: Tell me son why don’t you just do what your told
You know your independence is a federal offense
Son, please just make the best of all these cruel intentions
You know I love you, but it’s seen through glossy eyes.
Perhaps we’ve gone too far. Maybe these feelings we should have pushed away.
I guess all I am to be lies in fluffy white lies, all I ever wanted was some meaning
But I’m just dreaming… So
Chorus
