People of Earth What is it worth? To kill and destroy All that brings love and joy Share your love with someone Feelings Astray Hearts in Dismay Hate and Despair Shootings everywhere Share your love with someone Love is the Key Love sets us Free Live and let live Don’t hate, you must forgive Share your love with someone Bright Mysteries Dark Histories Children will grow Knowledge will overflow Share your love with someone Now close your eyes Ears open wide Come on a trek No need for cash or check Let the music take you there

The pain of insane thoughts that we believed would lead to change has done nothing but increase the idea of separation, leading down the road of degradation, inflammation of the heart cries out, producing tears of fears blocking unity of all under the banner of freedom, some believing we don’t need ‘em, those who look different, talk different, dress different, birth different, were born different, pray different, make love different than I, no we, no us, just the lust of distrust among human beings sharing the same planet, don’t understand it, but, man, it’s getting crazy out here, no, it’s been crazy, a craze of days, months, years, decades, centuries of man and woman deluding themselves with the wealth of selfishness, frustration, destructive thoughts, bullet shot, bodies hit with batons, parents crying, and got our children dying in between war and peace. So where’s the protection we were promised? I know some are being honest when they say they care or value our beingness, but what I’m seeing is a dream deferred, goals wiped out before they had a chance to occur, feeling burned, disturbed, waiting for the word to come from heaven to lift us like leaven to bring forth sustenance for the soul, we feel so exhausted, frosted by the cold vibrations of society that often lies to me, I feel it’s trying me and testing me to see if I will give in, give up, and give away my happiness and faith as I bathe in the world of disappointment, shame, fear and guilt, paralyzing our spirits, giving birth to these lyrics, as I live among hysterics, feeling like I can’t bear it, I can’t bear no more, but then something miraculous happens when I begin to fear no more, hear no more whispers of doubt resulting from false concepts of life, when I begin to go within, trusting self, trusting love to get us through this age, help us turn the page of this chapter that has been going on for too too long, time for a new new song to be sung from the deepest part of our stomach, creating harmonious music as our collective hysteria begins to plummet, from the dust of change we rise, from the dust of change we unify, and create ways to release, create ways to release the next generation from a battle of war and peace.

Autumn Vibes 02:10
Planet Earth, my home my place Do you care? Have you a part, in the deepest emotions of my own heart? Autumn, Autumn Pulling on my heartstrings Autumn, Autumn Why you do that to me? Autumn, Autumn Golden Trees, so breezy Autumn, Autumn In the air, autumn's there Planet Earth Are you just floating by? A cloud of dust A lonely spaceship A large asteroid When autumn's in the air You'll find it hard to bare That crisp smell in the air and bright leaves everywhere I'll find my rocking chair and watch that solar flare My little love affair In the air, Autumn's there Planet Earth Are you just floating by? Tender with breezes, careering and whole Alive with music, haunting my soul Autumn, Autumn Pulling on my heartstrings Autumn, Autumn Why you do that to me? Autumn, Autumn Golden Trees, so breezy Autumn, Autumn In the air, autumn's there

When all of my troubles run together The rotation of the earth is moving so fast That nothing slows it down You won't find me I'm beyond this atmosphere To where the air is clear And my ears can't hear the noise I'm floating in space A million light-years away from anything else It's just what I needed I'm floating in space A million light-years away from anything else Troubles defeated Whenever the question is the answer Will my senses separate the vast Vacuum of sound all around me I have to close my eyes And listen carefully So my ears can feel the joy I'm floating in space A million light-years away from anything else It's just what I needed I'm floating in space A million light-years away from anything else Troubles defeated I imagine another dimension full of aboriginese Native planetarians tuned into other frequencies With universal features, peaceful creatures, natural teachers But I wonder can they really teach us to unify. Unify? UNIFY! Why won't the leaders listen to the screams of the people, To the dreams of the people When unhappiness is coming out the seams of the people I wonder will we ever be equals Our world is in order she needs no fabricated boarders Her natural laws control the land Working with her father, the sun, hand in hand To generate a force much greater than man could ever understand Her elements are blue prints, that footprints cause new dents on human estimations but space-stations only spread our pollution to the atmosphere When the problem begins down here The problem is us We need to discuss Our problems with each other We can't go to space whenever the race is getting' too hard to run The problem is us We need to discuss Our problems with each other We can't go to space whenever the race is getting' too hard to run The problem is us We need to discuss Our problems with each other We can't go to space whenever the race is getting' too hard to run

The music is different here The vibrations are different Not like planet earth Planet earth sound of guns, anger, frustration There was no-one to talk to up on planet earth that would understand we set up a colony for people here They could drink in the beauty of this planet Would affect their vibrations For the better of course This is the end of fictitious smiles and frowns gathering support from erroneous belief systems based on the trepidation of love I've conquered the conquest of ego filled dreams and delusions of grandeur I'm hugging the oasis of contemplation leading me down the road to glory No more stories of tears, no more stories of fears I've had enough of that fair weather trembling Waiting to be held by some idols that never can respond to me I used to seek the approval of clouds, the scent of sun rays, the dance of rainbows, but I am fine now Higher than ever before, my vision is clear, my definition of self is clear, my breathing is clear Yes I can breathe, finally, totally and completely I'm seeking no more I've decided to create myself as the love I was looking for Life is not easy, especially today At the same time, there's an undenaible beauty to the essence of life And we all have infinite capacity Infinite capacity to create a beautiful life and manifest the light of advancement by turning poison into medicine So I'm celebrating this day as a new life A new way of growing and embracing the love that I am and I have no regrets I only have tears of fearless dancing in the streets Not looking back, not looking forward, but looking within Thank you for joining me today I have no meaning without you No way to experience this love without you You see I used to seek smiles in star dust, hugs from the moon, laughter from the comets But your presence, your presence has reminded me that I'm not alone Your presence has co-created with me the remembrance of unconditional love shared with all The same way you share your light The same way you share your light regardless of past, present or future I'm seeking no more I've decided to create myself as the love I was looking for This is an artistic endeavor in which we are all involved It's called the art of living For peace and happiness in the world The one constant that connects everything and this is wisdom

about

I've been working on this project for almost two years. Musically, it’s different than anything I've ever done before.

Every track takes you on a journey, each telling a different story taken from my own musical journey and life experiences.

The album as a whole has three themes, all running in parallel. The order of the tracks evokes the passing of one day, from early morning to very late at night. At the same time, the order of the songs represents the four seasons of the year – starting with spring, passing through summer and autumn, and ending with winter.

The third and most important theme is the theme of love. The love of friendship, of family, of someone special. The love of a particular season or part of the world or time of day. The love of all cultures and colors of humanity. The love of a pet, of a nostalgic memory, or of the planets and stars.

All of the music is original and I’m playing every instrument in most cases: drums, piano, bass, synthesizers, ocean harp, percussion and vocals. On a few tracks, I used a Vocoder, a talkbox, and an amazing instrument called the guzheng. I also sampled sounds from things like vinyl records, cassettes, retro video games, nature, and even a radio show that my grandfather did in the 1940s.

Some tracks also feature guest artists. Several singers and rappers contributed their amazing voices, and more than ten instrumental musicians contributed their talents.

The amazing album artwork for this project was created by my cousin Alex Williams. Every track name is represented in the artwork.

This project is a very personal statement for me, but its themes of time and place and love are themes that everyone can relate to. I'm so excited to share this project with the world, and I hope it has a positive and emotional impact on everyone who listens.
