about

It seems like every time I have tried to make a song about one thing it ends up being about another thing entirely. It has taken me so many moons to realize that this is some sort of a blessing and not really a problem/issue like I had told myself it was.

I'm just now learning that It's my nature to gather my intel from the shadows or underworld and then find other vantage points with 'more light' to look from and try to see if I'm really seeing this thing that I think I'm seeing (whatever it may be).

It's a strange technique in my opinion, slower than holy molasses and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anybody but It's an overarching characteristic of my life so I have to give credit where credit is due.

A good portion of this would be due to the Scorpio Moon that I was born under. So here's this song called "Moon of Scorpio".

With that said...., I was going to do a little walk down memory lane here that included aqua-blue display lights on my dad's old legendary, badass Marantz stereo (in all of its glory) or a dream sequence involving Southwest Texas desert and other things that appear in this song. Maybe we can get into some of that someday but for now....

Thank you for listening to this song which is one of several that will soon make a collection/album sometime soon. FM

lyrics

Moon of Scorpio
take me back to the echoes
where her songs flow
flood the arroyo
I travel by lantern
horse pulls wagon
across the sandstone
wherever this path goes

Everything seems doubtful and bewitching
the vulture eternal always listening
forever in plain view no matter where I go
I'm getting lost now
Moon of Scorpio

They float the lost highways that travel through you
little jackals waiting on your wrong move
now you hear the call of the unknown
that's transmutation
and now your gone

Bird of passage
take me to the lost songs
The Great Egret
carry me along
I'm tucked in the feathers
flying in the moonlit clouds
silhouettes in the sky
oh we ain't coming down

I saw the light
I chased the light
I saw the light
and I ain't coming down

Turkey buzzard circles high on the thermal
until she dives down
life cycle
forever in plain view
everlasting
vulture eternal
vulture eternal

Illusory perceptions I see in the moon glow
Subterranean force
ruled by Pluto
so I travel by lantern
horse pulls wagon
into the unknown
Moon of Scorpio
