Picture a parent and a child walking on the beach; the child is asking the parent the "big questions". Started on the winter solstice of 2014 immediately after tuning to Open D. Required 4 months to write and record.
Lyrics
And So It Goes
Listen, walk with me beside the wise ol’ sea
She says, all there is to say
No sacred rites, no blessed mysteries
No silly rules to shroud your way
And so my child it’s very simple I suppose
C’est la vie, say no more
Thank your lucky star
we’ve been hanging on so far
And so it goes, and so it goes
So now, how is it we ever came to be
How should we live, what if we die
Some say, that we were born and raised by stars
But only once, in all the sky
Tell me, how am I to know the right from wrong
Which destroys, and which creates
Could life be, as simple as a song
In my hands to shape my fate
