Track #7 - Keep Left at the Fork
Leslie Hudson - piano, vocals, songwriter
Betsy Tinney - cello
(The Song) Sit down and listen. Quiet the mind, the voice and the body. Be the backdrop to this scene. Become aware of these surroundings, every hum and whir and tick. Breathe it in. Taste each colour on the tongue. Reach out. Wait. Be still and wait. Be. Don’t rush it. This is another place. This is another realm. This is where it begins. Abundance, myriad and diverse, unknown and familiar, exists here. Be. Wait. Breathe. The ogham fid is Gort for growth and the garden.
Lyrics
I’ve been anxious, I’ve been tired
I’ve been crossed and I’ve been wired
overwhelmed and overemphasized
called upon to understand and empathize
every little light has got a darker shade
everyone I love’s about to be remade
better bring your game you’re starting second half
step out of the rain and remember to laugh
just be
like a rock I have been rolled
like a child I have been told
underfed and underutilized
now’s the time to overwrite and optimize
every little light has got a darker side
everyone I know has got a bruise to hide
dig into the dirt if you want to come clean
step out of the rain and remember to dream
just be
just be
shrug it off today
give it up and play
go find another way
go find another way
go find another way to
just be
just be
just be
