Divide

for 4 years siden

—

I live on the Eastern continental divide. The picture to the right is of a sculpture in a local park showing two water flows intertwined with one flowing to the Atlantic Ocean and the other to the Gulf of Mexico. The flow towards the Gulf would be back towards my house. The sculpture got me thinking about how, when I get to the top of the hill, if I turn one way I move towards the ocean and if I head the other way, I head back home. Circles turn / and swirl the other way Depending which way you should go Choose a side of this divide Something only you will know Look to the west, the water flows back home The other way is to the sea Four hundred miles across that ground Watch it flow away from me Balancing / upon the razorâ€ s edge Never feeling so alive Find yourself at the top of the world Searching for the other side Look to the west, the water flows back home The other way is to the sea Four hundred miles across that ground Watch it flow away from me The water knows the way back home It knows where you should be Follow the water on its way back home Follow it back to me Look to the west, the water flows back home The other way is to the sea Four hundred miles across that ground Watch it flow away from me Stare down your uncertainty Turn away from the sea In half a mile youâ€ ll be back home Water brings you back to me…

Day Seventeen: Pacific Ocean

for 4 years siden

—

I was rather taken aback by the reaction to my demo of “Pacific Ocean”. I mean, I know people were being rather nice, but it felt good to have such positive feedback. I started off the RPM with a couple of songs I felt pretty good about and a collection of throwaways and it’s been turning on me. As the parts gel, the songs are really coming together and getting stronger. I wasn’t expecting that this year. The song is pretty silly. It’s based on a cartoon I saw on Facebook. I wrote some silly lyrics, Clarke added some fun keys, and I dug in on harmony vocals. Oh, and I finally played a bass part I sort of like. That only took 12 years. Iâ€ m proud of you, you made it this far, Itâ€ s been a challenging year Youâ€ ve stared it down, youâ€ ve faced head on, A triumph over fear As if you needed more to think about, In times such as these Your brain fires up as the lights go out, And leaves you with this decree Every C in â€œPacific Oceanâ€� is pronounced differently Take some time to roll that around, tell me what it means Every C in â€œPacific Oceanâ€� is pronounced differently Close your eyes now, go to sleep You hoped for safety, a blessed respite, From all the trials of the day You knew you could make it despite the strife, You knew you could find a way You smile to yourself, youâ€ re satisfied, You let out a contented sigh How could you know one you closed your eyes, Youâ€ d deal with this surprise Every C in â€œPacific Oceanâ€� is pronounced differently Take some time to roll that around, tell me what it means Every C in â€œPacific Oceanâ€� is pronounced differently Close your eyes now, go to sleep You have disease on the news and election results And politicians who need a muzzle Yet just when youâ€ re ready to drift off to sleep Your brain gives you this puzzle Every C in â€œPacific Oceanâ€� is pronounced differently Take some time to roll that around, tell me what it means Every C in â€œPacific Oceanâ€� is pronounced differently Close your eyes now, go to sleep Close your eyes now, go to sleep Go ahead now, try to sleep…
