Parliament of Owls

    This album is in a similar vein to "Deeply Superficial", after all, it has only been six months. All I set out to do when I wrote these tunes was to write music I would like to listen to. This record varies a fair amount through the 12 tracks (Five vocal, Seven instrumental) - from folk to funk with a bit of jazz and guitar instrumentals which are just mellow.

    Below, you can have an immediate download of 12-track album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire. Furthermore, there is NO DRM! Do whatever you like with the files (seriously). This album is released under a creative commons license. You are free to make any use of it you desire, but please contact me if you wish to use it commercially.

Facade 02:12
I wish I knew the way to go from here, far from home I can't believe my fate will see me through, darker days. May come...for you, they may come...for you, and me. Don't be afraid of what you don't understand. Open yourself. And see that you are one of many who, long to be. Much more, than you...much more, than you and me. Beneath the calm facade we all exude, lies the truth. No one among us has the answer we desperately seak So don't, don't be afraid, oh no, don't cry anymore.

Seriously 03:06
Well it seems to me that all I see Is people taking life so seriously Oh the race, and they run, oh my how they run And they plan for security To hell with having any fun So I say, maybe it's time to let go for just a little while After all, your well laid plans may just scatter to the wind And I know it's true: there's no way to be sure There's only possibility So just wait so patiently and soon I think that you will see Some people sinking down beneath their negativity Oh they moan oh they complain Never try to make the change They just sit, just sit and watch Their life swiftly pass them by So I say, maybe it's time to take hold for just a little while After all you only get one shot, before you're scattered to the wind And I know it's true: there's no way to be sure There's only possibility.

Joy 03:25
Life, has no meaning, but that which we assign. Decline, the invitation, to get caught up in the race And replace, your apprehension for the future with joy, for what each day may bring Success, is but a concept we've invented It means, whatever you want it to mean so come clean: you cannot chase a moving target Happiness, is not a dollar away Go. Make your peace with what you are but strive, to always be something more and replace, your apprehension for the future with joy, for what each day may bring

Three TVs 03:38
We're sitting in your apartment, watching three TVs The glass was flowing all around me, if you know what I mean... And later on we're at the bar and I, see you walking in You raise your glass and, start to move about just as we begin. Wherever did all the time go? All those long long days And though it makes me sad to know that they are gone Every time I think about it, you know I have to smile. And down the stairs to, the dirty basement I fight my way through the crowd I find my beer and I, find my horn and I think it's time to get loud. How those nights would go on forever, I guess I'll never know The drink did flow and the smoke did rise and, and then we played some more. I guess we thought it'd never end Though we all knew it wasn't true... And thought it makes me sad to know that they are gone Every time I think about it, you know I have to smile. And though the times they change I know I won't soon forget All the times we spend, just wasting time It was time well spent.

Sea 03:33
Turning into the wind, like a restless gull Trying to beat my way, back down to the sea Eventually, all that's here will not remain Unbroken by, the endless strain Of an uncaring Sea - which pounds on tirelessly It chips away. It chips away at me. When our time is up, will we all wash away? Or will a piece remain in some tangible way. Persisting as the days roll on. All that I wanna be, is able to find my way down to a better place To a warm embrace. Leave behind the endless strain, Unspoken pride, what then will remain But an uncaring sea - which pounds on tirelessly. It chips away, it chips away at me.
