I was sitting in traffic when I noticed a cloud of thick black smoke wafting over the road. It smelled like someone was burning a tire. My eyes and throat started stinging but I was stuck in a car in rush hour traffic with no where to go. So I did the only thing I could think to do at the time which was roll up the windows, try not to breathe and write a song about all the things I would say to that person if I could.
lyrics
Tire Fire
---------------------------------------
Black smoke.
It's scratching at my throat.
Black smoke
I taste it when I choke on your
Black smoke
It's burning in my eyes. It's carving up my insides.
I see it in the air. It seems that you don't care.
But I'm talking to you 'cause I want you to think about what you're doing.
I'm talking to you 'cause I'm sick of the poison that you're spewing.
We all share the air we breathe. Think about your family.
'Cause we don't need no more black smoke.
Black smoke.
It's coming out your tail pipe
Black smoke
and I know you know it ain't right
Black smoke
It's coming from the factory. Offending my olfactory.
It smells like hell on earth. Don't you know what life is worth?
I'm talking to you 'cause I want you to think about how you're acting.
I'm talking to you 'cause there's other people you're impacting.
Take some responsibility and have a little sympathy.
'Cause we don't want no more black smoke
Black smoke
You think this is a joke?
Black smoke
No matter how you vote you get
Black smoke
It's clouding up my vision. You made the wrong decision.
It's filling up my lungs. The damage has been done.
But I'm talking to you 'cause it's not to late to change our direction.
I'm talking to you while I still have a voice to raise my objection.
We've got to stop burning all those tires and start putting out the fires
'cause we can't take no more
Yeah I'm talking to you but it feels like I'm getting no reaction.
I'm talking to you but it might be time for some direct action.
We've got to make the polluters pay if we want to see a brighter day.
It's time to take a stand.
The future's in our hands.
Stop buying what they sell.
Don't believe the lies they tell.
It's just a bunch of black smoke.

I wrote this one when I was camping in the Teanaway with my friend Brady. It was a full moon and I was playing my ukulele. I turned to face the moon head on and when I stared up into it, I could feel it staring back into me. I was thinking about my grandma who had just passed away and about how we are all standing on the shoulders of our ancestors. None of us would be here today without generations of people we will never meet making enormous sacrifices. I was thinking about how the face of the full moon sort of looks like a yin yang symbol and how all of life is a balancing act. This was one of those songs that just sort of erupted out of me fully formed. It's about coming to terms with your past, acknowledging our ancestors and recognizing the sacred beauty in opposing forces.
lyrics
Square The Circle
-------------------------------------------
Square yourself with the moon
Stare into the glowing eye of the goddess who watches over you
while you sleep
Observe the balance inherent in nature
The light and dark divinity
There is solace in shedding your anger
So light the spark and sin at ease
Shout your stark obscenities
and square yourself with the moon
The moon is rising
The tide is turning
It's time to meet the real you
It's time to see what you can do
Just square your self with the moon
Paying homage to those who came before
I am honored to be standing on your shoulders
The future is a book I haven't read
But if I could I'd skip right to the end
Square yourself with the moon
