about

I made a 4 track cassette demo of this song suite back in 2006, and then I got kinda busy recording other songs, starting a family etc. Finally got around to tracking this at home here beginning in November 2021. It's basically 3 different but connected songs—Force to Create, Dreams, and The Normal Way. It's about wondering if you're normal, and why things are the way they are. My daughter sings the intro and outro on this one.

I played this mix for her two days ago (5/3/2022) and she suggested that it was ready for release. So here it is in all its ragged glory.

Rock on my friends, and let your freak flag fly!

lyrics

Force to Create Light
and life
from light
to procreate
then die
I know
They didn't teach me to fear death at all
it came to me in my dreams
They didn't teach me to fear god at all
it came to me in my dreams
and they are so real
my dreams lalalalalalalala

where am I
what is this place
who are you
why are we here
is this a dream
is this normal
am I normal

this is not the normal way
come on now let's aberrate so
from the accepted style
still wondering all the while why
what's accepted and what is
where do I fit in all of this
what's the reason for these feelings
and this existence

this is not the normal way
this is just the way were living
this is not a fantasy
this is our reality
if you wanted fantasy
or if you wanted normalcy
i just might not be your guy
i just might not be your type, right?

what's accepted and what is
where do I fit in all of this
what's the reason for these feelings
and this existence
