Song information
It has been requested that I bring more R&B type stuff to the table. That'll come later this week. But first, I wanted to share this one which is a bit more folksy, but has some wild guitar parts as you'll hear. Written back in 2012 I think, the lyrics were very influenced by my readings then, namely, "Siddhartha" by Herman Hesse and "The Ascent Of Man" by Jacob Bronowski, which traced how science developed with the line of human history. The classical like guitar at the beginning was part of a classical piece I had called "Landscapes." I used to play it a bit in my classical guitar restaurant years.

Lyrics
Going from place to place
Looking for the answers
Through wetlands, prairie, desert, trees, and icefield

After seeing houses and buildings get torn and swept away
And people I knew disappear and pass away

It was easy to get depressed
Remembering things that you used to know
To see the illusion destroyed
But then I saw right through it all
I could still feel it there
The soul of what  had been before
Houses, trees, and plants transcend
Knowing it's all here
The past is now

All are empty and started out unmade

Some look the same at a gothic arch and buttress
They probe and explore beneath the force in the stone
The underlying changing science of nature could be mine
As we bend the grain and feel for the form

But it's everchanging
There's no definite answer
Acknowledgement, Uncertainty are definite answers
Keys for exploration
No test in reality
Will dehumanize

Knowing it's all here
And it's all now
It all flows together in the same river

I listen for the vibration everywhere
The rock and dirt below and mountain rivers
Empires may crumble, civilzations disappear
But the world keeps on going round and round

Now
It

Wonderful playing throughout. Cool insightful lyrics!
(Most of my stuff is inspired by my own varied readings. I LOVE it when it can be translated into music like you've done here.)
