about

(I want to preface this post with a quick note that this was supposed to be my Winter Holiday musical offering.... but this song clearly had other plans. My creations tend to be an enigma, until my heart discovers the right instruments to define them.)

Hopefully you're familiar with the term 'Pick Your Poison'; an old phrase used when you are presented with an abundance of drink choices at your local bar.

This song is about wrestling with dissatisfaction, a condition made more obvious during this 'joyous' time of the year. I hear it in the conversations I have with friends and family. And I see it in the faces around me. Many people are overwhelmed and disheartened by the noise and chaos that surrounds us. And many of us choose to numb ourselves to this reality, using our 'poison of choice', rather than face that noise.

A dear friend of mine (and one of the wisest folks I know) suggests that negativity (frustration, anger, fear, sadness) is a tool for awakening; a strangely packaged gift from our higher awareness, designed for our growth. And rather than numbing ourselves to our pains, we should be facing them head-on; using them to challenge our beliefs and perspectives, to identify why we're not satisfied.

I know my frustration is a direct result of my expectations, in contrast with how things just are. Reality is what it is, and my resistance causes my suffering. So I, like many of my dear friends out there, focus on the positive to the best of my ability. And on the nights when I just can't see my way clear, I pop open a can (or 3) of crappy American beer, and say to myself, 'This Tastes Like Good Poison'.

I hope you enjoy this darker delving into the mind of GrevusAnjl; a fellow who's happier than he's ever been; but still wants us all to be happy, all the time. That's not too much to ask, right? :)

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.
