She can come too. It doesn’t matter what we do. One pill or two, You don’t need anything if that’s how you groove.   Just give in to the beat & dance all that you can. You can move your feet, boy, record spinnin’ fast. We got a chance to live, let’s live this life. Don’t you mean we’ll live it free? Don’t you mean?   Can you take me higher baby up to the sky? I can feel us flying baby, we’ve come alive. Let’s get high.   Just give in to the beat & dance all that you can. You can move your feet, groove, record movin’ fast. We’ve got one chance to live, so we’ll live this night. Don’t you mean live it free? Don’t you mean.   Can you take me higher baby up to the sky? I can feel us flying baby, we’ve come alive. Let’s get high.

We are all delicate maybe we can hold each other's hands through the shattering exchange of of thunder and light. And we might be unrecognizable on the other side. But we are all so delicate, and we will hold each other's hands (I dont know if I included this part or not, but sometimes there's is a repetition of this line here: through the shattering exchange of thunder and light.)

Translation The World is Lost the Sky is lost I have memories I have silence The World is lost the sky is lost Its hard to live, the nights don’t pass I can’t live without you Mi par d'udire ancora, o scosa in mezzo ai fior, la voce sua talora, sospirare l'amor! O notte di carezze, gioir che non ha fin, o sovvenir divin! Folli ebbrezze del sogno, sogno d'amor! Translation Once more
I hear her voice
Where golden lilies always bloom And hear her softly sing
Her tender voice
Rings through the gloom  Oh night Of wondrous love Oh wondrous night
Of joy divine
Oh memory
Forever mine
Wondrous night of memory Sweet memory

One breath, take another step, then run. One step, take another & then gun. One love, just believe you could. One world on the brink of good.   One breath, take another step, then run. One step, take another & then gun. One love, just be all you could. And feel good.   Try to remember that you’re strong enough to live.   You’re powerful beyond your own words. Your life is not just a curse. You’re free, just gotta get moving, & you can have anything you want.   Try to remember that you’re strong enough to live.   Break the bonds of servitude. Break up with the “I don’t want you to.” Break all the “I don’t think you should.” Break up with the “you’re no good.” You’re plenty.   Try to remember that you’re strong enough to live. Try to remember to live.

your beckoning I follow each step flowers in a field full hallow... when we fall to surrender and follow why is it so hard worlds open underneath holding me apart each breath flowers... melting me down /// all layers stripped away left in a sea of stars each breath flowers... when you call eternal in surrounded starlight

There’s another man in my life, But he has nothing on your eyes. We can be the same. Here & now. The day you looked me in my eyes, I could see right through yours. Your soul, it bore a deep impression, Like the one on my face. You walked up. We locked eyes. You murdered me. Am I on fire?   I know you are there & you’re watching me, Watching me grow. I know we can’t be there, But we only know one day at time. You’ll never be the same again. No, I know.   You don’t want to know the strength I have grown. Cuz there’s another man who thinks he knows who I am. & he Amens. He Amens. But then, I know you are there & you’re watching me. I know you are there & you’re standing where you think I am. Cuz you want to be with me. I know. & you’re not the only one.   I know you’re watching me, Pretending where you are – Anywhere you want to be.   Won’t let you get away. Won’t let you escape. Won’t let you take all of me.   You’ll never be the same again. You’ll never be suffering. You’ll never be the same again. As I stare at your sin.

Here I'll send secrets. Believing in yourself. Being. The creation of Him. I won’t give in ‘til I’m already dead. & I won’t give in at all. I’ll stand tall. My son. Help. I’ve done it again. Hurt myself & you won’t even notice me. I'd absolve secretly. Between you & the sheets it’s haunting me. Destiny I don't believe in, it's taking over me. I won’t believe. You get back. I’m leaving. Thought it was a good idea to walk all over me. Did you think it was a good idea? I've got too many things here, too many things to tear you out of. I guess I'll just live in clear love the rest of my life. I guess I will.

about

When Volume 2 was complete it was yet again very clear to me a Volume 3 was to be. With a new cast of players and also some original collaborators from Volume 1 and 2 this album was destined to form itself crafted of healing and heart as connected to what inspired Volume 1 on through to the fading farewell in the finale track of Volume 3.
When Volume 2 was finished I had the good fortune of being invited to engineer and record a gathering of artists where I was introduced to some new friends with astounding talents. I stole away some moments in-between sessions to invite some of the artists down to the B Studio and play them some of my ideas where we then explored and collaborated on those song structures. Some of those recordings made it onto Volume 3 and as I returned to California several times later to record and collaborate with these artists which also led to new relationships from the world music scene in the Bay area and the Middle East. Also during the creation of this album I relocated my life to Miami and met artists from the New World Symphony and a glass bowls healer whom I recorded and engineered an album for. These meetings are all reflected in this music.

The sound of the series has evolved and matured and it has been an amazing learning experience throughout the 10 years that I have pursued this music or has it pursued me? My understanding and lack of understanding of music ever deepens as new lessons present themselves and new discoveries that leave one humbled in the awe of ferocious raw talent and complexities of rhythm and melody that leave one speechless and vulnerable in the beauty of what music is and can be. I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to partake in this journey and present this music to you. I only made myself present and clear, conscious and sharpened to the stream of energy that is the creative artistic dance. Please have a listen and let this music hold you in its embrace.
A trilogy it is and now complete I can rest these bones and release these vibrations from my grasp and let them resonate outward to you as they may, possibly to inspire and unfold your joys, your sadness, your beauty and your better self.
