"Artists are magical helpers.
Evoking symbols and motifs
that connect us to our deeper selves,
they can help us along the heroic journey
and our own lives."

-Joseph Campbell
Pathways to Bliss
Music of U
helps you
get through
get through
whatever it is you do
I share these songs with you
to help YOU
on YOUR JOURNEY
on YOUR JOURNEY
through the UNKNOWN
if you like any of them,
if they help you smile wider
or your heart beat faster
if they open your ears
as newly discovered windows
into your heart and your imagination
then I am happy
I spent the money
on fuel
and supplies
and scared myself
over and over
and confused myself
over and over
for all of the journeys
and supplies
and scared myself
over and over
and confused myself
over and over
for all of the journeys
I mean,
I was happy anyway
That's why I did it.
I have received much
so now it is time to give and share
in the hope of inspiring you
to do what you love to do
even if there are puzzle pieces
on the path that scare you
Whenever I was tired or lost or confused
people came to my rescue
in the form of live humans
and recorded artists
and authors living in books
and any other man-ifested universal clue
I share with you
the magical helpers
who helped me survive
and enjoy being alive
while journeying
around the world
around the world

To some degree,
we might say that
personality characteristics
are associated with
or predictive of
the kind of
music that people like
But to a large
degree
it is determined more or less by chance factors:
where you went to
school
who you hung out with
what music they happened to be listening to

*even D'evils
I actively dislike the middle verse,
and want to point out that although
I enjoy lots of quality gangster rap music
amongst the wide swath of all music offered by the world
especially because they're the most stylistic, creative and versatile wordsmiths
and talk a lot about mental and physical toughness needed to survive
and discipline and bravery and risking it all for your dreams
and keeping your cool in tight situations
and still having an interest in words and intellect and poetry
and expressive flows and rhymes and rhythms and times
but like anything else in life, such as a cheesy pop song,
you can't personalize everything from their experience
and at some point accept that you're just hearing another story
and that whether or not you like it, you'll learn something from it
and use what you don't like to somehow avoid it and instead better experience
besides, all things are metaphors
so if you can't relate
then your imagination isn't working hard enough
just like in a few of those overly specific inspirational songs
like Pressing On and I Shall Not Walk Alone
I am happy to be free of any system
which too narrowly defines my world
but I always love a great tune and a positive metaphor
just like in a few of those overly specific inspirational songs
like Pressing On and I Shall Not Walk Alone
I am happy to be free of any system
which too narrowly defines my world
but I always love a great tune and a positive metaphor
