In America
by admin on Feb.21, 2012, under chords, Daniel, lyrics
It’s a great day in America
Yet, another great day in America
Not like flecks of mica
No, not fool’s gold
You can be anything you want
Before growing old
In America
You can be the President
Of the United States
Or fly a ship
To the moon
Or, be a philanthropist
Of conscious states
Jump, skip or flip
The pursuit of happiness
Is none too soon…
In America
Love Spell
by admin on Feb.19, 2012, under chords, Daniel, lyrics, The Beatless Sense Mongers
I went to the City of Brotherly Love,
And, asked ‘em,
“How do you spell love?”
They replied,
L. Ooooo V E,
With a lopsided Oh.
I went to God Almighty Above,
And, asked her,
“If you were to conjure up a spell,
well… what would it be?”
She replied with an angel’s sigh,
“The spell is love.”
Please sing it with me,
“Love spell,
L. Ooooo V. E.,
With a lopsided Oh.”
Beats the devil outta hell,
L.O.V.E. spell
All yell,
“Love spell,
L. Ooooo V. E.,
With a lopsided Oh.”

Living In A Hologram

A song created as part of a research project on 4D Music based on the works of many scientists including Albert Einstein and Craig Hogan.
D major
Living In A Hologram MP3s, Pictures and Lyrics
“It looks like GEO600 is being buffeted by the microscopic quantum convulsions of space-time,” says Hogan.
“If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram.”
Holography (from the Greek hólos, “whole” grafe-, “writing, drawing”) allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed… as if the object were still present, thus making the image appear three-dimensional.
“…for us physicists believe the separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a convincing one.”
Only the individual can think, and thereby create new values for society, nay, even set up new moral standards to which the life of the community conforms. … The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty and Truth. (Albert Einstein, 1954)

Thank Goodness
by admin on Nov.25, 2011, under chords, Christmas Music, Daniel, lyrics
I feel the days growing shorter
As the nights grow colder and evermore slower
Right when the food is scarcer
Out of nowhere comes a feast fit for the King of Kings
Funny what religion brings
When the discipline of all things
Occurs as humanity sings
Sings from the heart
Of the Good News, music, literature and art
The beauty of the fine arts
As they do their part
Spreading the Word, the joy, the happiness
She whispers in my ear,
“Thank goodness.”

Thanking You Gave
by admin on Nov.25, 2011, under chords, Christmas Music, Daniel, lyrics
I would like to take this opportunity
To thank God for God
Thanking you gave
Thanking God for good
Thanking you gave
The Smörgåsbord of intellect
Cornucopia of utopia
For all the time we collect
Thanking you gave
I hope to spend all eternity
Thanking God for God
’cause it would be mighty hard
To find a way to pray
Without you
Whatever I can do
To help pay your due
I would love to….
In the mean time, I’m…
Thanking you gave

Heartless Soul
by admin on Nov.16, 2011, under chords, Daniel, lyrics
Heart And Soul?
What happens when the heart is ripped from the soul? What happens when the soul is ripped from the heart? This song is about exodus of the music committee from Occupy Philly.
LYRICS
Whirring of the whirlybird
Overhead
Bringing on fear…
Dread
Rumors, gossip…
Over what’s been said
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Waiting for an onslaught of the assault cop
Gone to hell
All that’s left…
A shell
Heart ripped from soul
Soul ripped from heart
Twisted
Torn apart
What’s the toll of your goal
Resisted
A fresh start

Question Less
by admin on Nov.16, 2011, under chords, Daniel, lyrics
How can you hoard
When you’re homeless
You’re never board with Earth
When Earth’s your nest
Trying to find the ends
To make ends meet
Thank God, Mother Nature lends
Shelter, drink and something to eat
That’s good… Mother Nature sends
Why do humans hoard
When they need less
Squirrel away for their rainy day
Creating a mess
For those with less
No measure of success
Comparing oneself to the homeless
No measure of success
Compared to worthless
Em / Am

Your Move

SONG
lyrics
(It’s) Your Move
Written November 3, 2011 at the Your Move sculpture
A giant game piece
Used in the name of peace
Across from where you park love
Helicopter whirling overhead
I still overheard
A voice rise above,
“It’s your move!”
Move your piece
Move your peace
Move for peace
Contrast Comcast
Cast your system
System of casts
Not, what I am
Move your piece
Move your peace
Move for peace

MY LETTER TO CITY HALL
To whom it may concern:
Pursuant to today’s telephone conversation, thank you for your assistance. As you suggested, I did contact the Mayor’s Press Department.
It is my desire to coordinate press in two ways:
1) Obtain any positive *copy* covering the Philadelphia Police Department and the Mayor’s office. Any statements, press releases or related materials that can be edited and/or redistributed to news organizations would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for any information that will help substantiate that the Philadelphia Police have been doing an excellent job at Occupy Philly, as well as, being civil and cordial.
2) An on-camera appearance by representatives from the Police Department or the Mayor’s Office. Besides praising the Departments on camera, I would like to review the *move plan* offered to Occupy Philly by the Mayor. If we could shoot on-location Thursday or Friday during a picture perfect day, I would like to meet.
Questions include:
Where can Occupy Philly move? [The area will be filmed.]
Will there be electric?
Does Occupy Philly need any permits? Permits to move? Permits to play music? etc.
Can the move start this weekend?
Thank you. I shall await your advice.
