steve@baselines.com Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Hope it comes off in the matter intended...a juxtaposition of some people's interpretation on how to approach life in general. Not meant to be preachy, just a view into the angel and devil on your shoulders and the conversations that go on. End of Days 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 @steve@baselines.com Interesting, any chance of the lyrics? Some nice playing, cool guitar tones, mix works here. Taoist Wu wei wu the Art of Doing not Doing. Is not as simple as it seems, it does not mean "not doing" as with any Taoist text it context is so important in its interpretation. Thanks for sharing the end of days insights I will read more deeply later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing the end of days insights I will read more deeply later. Thank you for the feedback Wookiee. Here are the lyrics. As we get older, we tend to think more about these things! We hold it in our hand Salvation is attainable No need to beat a dead horse down All that we need is faith Hope and charity If you treat others well Lend them a timely helping hand In desperate times of need You hold it in your hand Don't listen to that shite You know I'm ultimately right Don't let them foil your plans Remember who is number one Keep your eyes on the prize The spoils are yours to take. The choice is yours to make free will's a bitch no matter how your path diverges Will you be on the rise as others burn You hold the answer in your hand No matter what life hands you Someone else has a heavier cross to bear You know it's true so ... Let kindness be your shining guiding light The darkness, will tempt us the choices are shaded and obscured by forces that are hard to fight The choice is up to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Great song, great lyrics. 0:35 There's a real familiar riff for a couple of seconds here. A few years ago there were billboards proclaiming the end of the world would happen on a certain date, the date being my birthday. I thought wow what a great present: Armageddon. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@baselines.com Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 Hi Bjorn - thanks for your comments. Yes that familiar riff was on purpose, just for fun. It was a Ventures song called Walk Don't Run. It just came into my mind while I was playing. Wow that must have been quite a shock seeing that billboard!

freddy j Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Great work on this song Steve! The instrumentation is very well done played, arranged and separated. BTW - luv the little Ventures riff. The vocals are also well very done. The lyrics are excellent and poignant. The phrases "...The choice is up to you ... and-- ...free will is a bitch..." are particularly relevant. The current estimates from the relevant scientific community is that this planet has somewhere around another 4 billion years before our sun supernovas and earth is cooked. They also warn that we are entering in to the 6th mass species extinction of life on this planet. While it would appear that our planet will be here for quite some time it appears that we (as a species along with many others) will not be, Perhaps that is the Armageddon mentioned above? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@baselines.com Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 Hi Freddy! Thanks for stopping by. I recently saw a documentary about mass extinction schedules past and future and it is a scary thought. Hopefully we won't be around for that one - that's a little too much adventure for me!
