Searching for Eno

I sit, listening to dreamy,
cascading melodies

Thinking of Everything I've done
wrong this year.
And last year, and the year before that,
and the year before that, and the year
before that

Not Knowing when it will stop,
The stomach aches, the tears, the frustration,
the feeling of helplessness that comes in waves
at work, and at home.

I put it all into my work, my craft, my art,
and the job that pays the bills.
I put too much into the things that barely matter,
the things I loath in my soul, the things that ugliness
in the world force me to do.

I Wish I could live like Jack, or Hunter, or William,
or Allen, any of the great warriors of the human spirit.

Life beats me up so bad I want a do-over, another chance,
another life, another option.

Then

I look at the things I am grateful for.

but it doesn't kill the sting

My Zero 7 Review in Positive Feedback

zero7 review in Positive Feedback Online

Never Goin' Back

I want a Do Over.
I wanna go Back to that field where my parents
missed my first hat-trick.

When I knew who my friends were
Where my alliances lay
My confidence, Supreme.

I need a fuckin' Delorian to 2004,
another chance to show these weak-ass
DJs what Soul is all About.
When We knew who our Friends were
Where their alliances lay
and when we always Smiled.

I always wanna go back After I've taken
a Giant Leap and the fall Kills me.

A man can only fall a few times before
he either accepts a pathetic day-to-day
or steps out of the game.

Your Friends Can Save You.
Don't let Them Lie and say they Can't.

Mine Saved me,
one too many times I think.

But it isn't too late for You

Whomever finds these words
these tears
this pain

This Joy

my review of Zero 7's new "Record" (Best of album) comin out on Atlantic Records: http://ping.fm/tvZL0

SO PSYCHED for Opening night at the Smodcastle!! http://ping.fm/BoIN6 Thanx to Mr. Kevin Smith, we'll B witnessing history!!!!

We All Strange

Wow

Jim was disgusted,
his words,
hockin' a motor vehicle

and We're looking to sell our souls
for more licensing, more money,
and for more what?

More madness
more shame
or shamelessness

Ever sit down and listen to
L.A. Woman all the way through?

"Cars Hiss By My Window",
now thats simple beauty.
A Superb groove

Wait a minute;
Sit down and listen to an entire record,
from start to Finish...

That's a fuckin' Alien concept
Isn't it

Fragmented

Caught
between open-minded
visions of the future

and a fear of the Present.

Heritage and blood
have been divided
by business.

There is no way back.
No righteous path.

There is no Trust.

I am alien to this particular
Battle,
yet I reside in its middle.

I can not see a way out,
and I am terrified,
terrified of losing Everything,
as Everything depends on the outcome

of this Insane conflict.

Where it began,
and how it came to this
I have no idea.

I only know
it Cannot End Well.

Found out Harry Pearson's speech from RMAF 09 (where I spoke) is on Youtube! PLS check it out & Support: http://ping.fm/u6Jjo
