about

Beginning Never Ends (2019)
This song was made on a trip to a local gallery. A few of the works seemed almost like maps without cities, destinations or points of departure, while others had a look of ancient Illuminated manuscripts. Playing with these ideas and impressions, I sat down on the floor of the gallery and wrote this song right then and there!

lyrics

my way seems lost
can’t read the map
roads swirl in circles
leading back to where I am

no matter which way I’ve gone
I end up right back here
where ends are beginning
and the beginnings never end

layers on layers
everywhere I turn
layers and layers
so much to learn

walking over
stacks of history
manuscripts in the wind
in pieces for all to see

a hopelessly winding road
convoluted and incomprehensible
keep moving, keep going
to get myself to me

layers on layers
everywhere I turn
layers on layers
so much to learn

imprints of ancestors
diagrams of dances
my people left their marks
their cartography of chances

I stare with awe
I don’t trip or fall
steps choreograph themselves
somehow making sense of it all

layers on layers
everywhere I turn
layers and layers
so much to learn

my way seems lost
can’t read the map
roads swirl in circles
leading back to where I am

no matter which way I’ve gone
I end up right back here
where ends are beginning
and the beginnings never end
