Time Between The Notes: Dog Days | Live at... →
Dog Days Stargazers Theatre Colorado Springs, CO March 19, 2013 http://www.timebetweenthenotes.com/audio.html Recorded by: Chuck Miller
All is You
Self loathing or self love
Which will it be?
Selfishness or selflessness
It’s all apart of me
A choice between being free
And a want or need
An empty cup can be filled
But a full cup is bound to spill
Such a fine line between love & hate
Same emotion with a different weight
Living and dying
Laughing and crying
The pendulum swings
Everyday we’re planting seeds...
Shower Revelations
A stranger looked at me and smiled Somehow right then, I knew everything would be okay You are my true north Lots of changes going ‘round Another shower revelation Even a broken clock is right twice a day I’m looking down, the bottom isn’t far I’m looking up, reaching for the stars I’m looking out, to discover what you are I’m looking in, for the healing of my...

One Foot in Front of the Other
Gonna let the sun back in my life
Gonna let my light shine bright
I’ve been dancing in the shadows
O dark clouds, let in rain
Wash away the pain
Cleanse my body cleanse my soul
Goddess of love make me whole
Angel of mercy help me grow
Sorrowful muse give me peace
Grant my freedom, give me relief
Empty my sorrowful cup
And refill it with the truest of love
O my true love...

My Pretty Rose Tree
William Blake A flower was offered to me:
Such a flower as May never bore.
But I said “I’ve a Pretty Rose-tree”,
And I passed the sweet flower o’er.
Then I went to my Pretty Rose-tree
To tend her by day and by night.
But my Rose turn’d away with jealousy:
And her thorns were my only delight.

WatchSONG JOURNAL 2012 This came about like most of my ideas, in the middle of the night. I wanted to do something like this for quite some time; in fact it wasn’t until I made a list of all the songs I had written in 2012 that I realized I was already doing it. What we have here is a song journal, a collection of the songs I have written and recorded in their earliest stages and rarest forms. I...

Be still and know
Reading the bible doesn’t make you a Christian
Like owning a guitar doesn’t make you a musician
Tradition is a means to superstition
Belief is another word for a life of indecision.
Bad and good, or so I’ve understood
Is a point of view
It differs from me to you
Us and them
creating losses and wins
Virtues and sins
Beginnings and ends
Reading the bible doesn’t make you a Christian...

The Beggar
Your past is catching up with you
Bumming cigarettes on the street corner
That rooster is crowing
And you know a sun is around the bend
Wide awake at the witching hour
All these thoughts they rise from unmarked graves
Another night pacing around dreaming standing up
Your brain’s been turned in to the lost and found
The ghosts of dead poets surround your bed
Begging for a little...

Song for Mal
Words and Music: Inaiah Lujan He was no one, born nowhere Black glasses and short blonde hair He was six foot six, had a mile long stare Oh Mal you’re a hell of a pal Workin’ down at the the Cavern Club He was nice but he had to get rough He was just trying to do the best that he could Oh Mal you’re a hell of a pal On the hunt for figures and things Plug it in, pick it up when it...
Beginning work on a new album
I guess you could say I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately. Reminiscent of the days when I used tape players as capture devices for my musical escapades. So today I borrowed my sister Chela’s 4-track cassette recorder and set up in my favorite corner and hit my favorite button. I was immediately taken back to those moments when I would get lost for hours in my headphones, manipulating...
Drip and Drala
Don’t be fooled by the world of apperences
We’ve accumulated so many things we have no room to appreciate them
There is no one behind that door Me is an idea, a concept, a myth. Drip and Drala
Everything’s on cue
Everything has it’s time and place Nothing is left to chance or fate Spinning the wheel of my own True Will.

My Year in Review: 2011 Mix - Volume I
I finally had time to sit down and process the amazing year of music I had the privilege of hearing and in some cases being a part of in 2011. I’ve compiled a hand full of songs, that I’m making into a mix tape, of my favorites from the past year. This is Volume I of the songs that were in a heavy rotation in my car stereo, in the shuffle at Lastleaf or swimming around in my brain too...

A True Revolution
I’ve always been quite fond of the principle law of Thelema, “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Love is the law. Love under will.” Now I am not an expert on Thelema or any spiritual or religious doctrine for that matter, But to me this lays it out pretty simply; Love is a choice. We have the power to choose Love in the face of adversity, the power to see a brother...
