full, the ocean inside
of meadows smelling softly
of butterflies that swallow
all, there inside, it all
it’s too painful to think
and I must be stronger
than this tornado in my
soul, there inside, to release
tidal waves erupt…

when you’re backed into the corner
bears his teeth and growls
and scratches his claws on the floor

how to count the many ways
to know your wrong from right

maybe even longer than I can remember
tried to leave many times, oh what a pity

          Something more mellow. Got the idea from an Andy Aledort column in Guitar World magazine but can't remember which one and can't find the issue now.
Thanks for listening.

2-3-14 Improv with new acoustic & new delay/looper.  By the end of the month I'll probably have two or three albums worth of outtakes of this kinda stuff. Haven't even scratched the surface…

          This is an extreme variation of Paganini's 24th Caprice, no where near the original. I just took some parts from it and did them my own way, not trying to follow the original version at all. Thanks for listening.

keep the fakers away
and the hipsters and the leeches from my sight
horrible life

and the music is neither awful nor sublime

swollen and impossible to wade
underneath a canopy of cool dark trees
she’s waiting there for me
see her eyes reflecting in the swiftly moving water
hear her voice merge with the rustle of the leaves…

          This, along with the male voice opening track is very simple and very strong. Walking anticlockwise in file, arms straight up, palms up for Hayy (Life), arms down, palms push towards earth, for Allah.

          This is totally different from anything else I have ever done, pretty crazy and very poor rap I am sure but I do like it and I would love to find an adventurous bunch of people to do it as a dance.

          This has been in my head forever, but I never managed to pull it together until now.  The lyrics were inspired by @_FloridaMan on twitter.  Formerly known as RPM 2014 #4
Is it overreaction
when everyone acts that way 
does it lead to distraction…

why feel safe
in this house
feel the walls have eyes

feel the eyes closing in

the walls are closing in
I cannot breathe
where’s reality…
