about

It’s a joy creating with Stoney (soundcloud.com/stonecatcherye) again. He’s a great guitarist, great singer, and writes genuinely evocative lyrics; and he’s the catalyst for today’s ‘stuff to think about’ write-up.

This song is about the various aspects of thinking. We can probably all agree, the mind is a noisy beast. If you’re in a good space, it can be a very loving voice. But if you’re like the rest of us, it can be a cesspool of swirling noise and emotion.

Lets focus in on the word cesspool, and what that suggests. A cesspool is defined as a container of standing liquid, where waste and sewage reside. What keeps it a cesspool? The fact that nothing fresh ever comes in to clear out the pollutants. Its stagnant, and it’s rotting.

Now let’s superimpose that idea onto our thoughts. As soon as we’re capable of storing thoughts, society is all too happy to fill that storage for us; logically skewed to its perspective. I often ask myself where my ideas came from, and the honest answer is always… elsewhere. There really are no original ideas in our heads; only variations on themes we’ve learned over our lifetimes; combinations of ideas we’ve been influenced (or forced) to accept as true.

And once the vessel is full, it usually gets left alone. They did their job. We’re somehow now willing to store that refuse on their behalf. Left alone, it becomes stagnant. Without fresh material coming in to stir up the waste, we get trapped with some pretty funky material; probably best not to touch it, but it’s in our heads, and we’re stuck being the keepers of other people’s sewage. It’s all a little dizzying. But what to do?

This is where the ‘Waders of Consciousness’ come in. It’s time to don the rubber pants, head to the deeper parts, and start cleaning the tank. We do this by lifting each idea up (remember to wear gloves), studying it very carefully in the light, and deciding if it’s worth washing off… or if we should permanently dispose of it. This is a big clean-up job, but the benefits are massive. When we’re done, we get to enjoy a clean storage tank; free of all the other people’s garbage we’ve been holding for so many years. Here’s the catch. We have to keep it circulating with fresh ideas in order to keep the stagnancy at bay. It’s a lifetime commitment, but the work is so very worth it.

Stoney and I hope you enjoy our latest creation, ‘I Think Too Much’. :)

lyrics

Lyrics:
I think too much, my brain works hard & fast & often still
I lost the touch to feel the sun upon that windowsill
Lost in the rush, my mind is burdened by such overkill
Thoughts turn to dust as I set fire to the matter mill

Why is this always on my mind?

I know that there's problems
You know that there's despair & hate
Thought can bring solutions
Minds should be our saviors & mates

I know that there's secrets
You know that there's revenge & rage
Well, I think we can fix it
You don't think and therefore, don't save

You think too much, your brain works hard & slow at sitting still
Soft to the touch, I say we keep it there, inside your skull

Why is this always on my mind?

I know there's solutions if we keep on digging deep
Buried treasure looting it's right under your feet.

Welcome to my sonic playground. I don't consider myself a skilled musician. I just sculpt sounds to quiet my mind... and often end up pleasantly surprised. I'm all about joy, and silliness, and staying playful as I (refuse to) grow older. My songs help me remember that. :)

Thank you for taking the time to listen and share in my journey. Best wishes and all my love.
