Liner Notes

This one came out of nowhere. I had the title in mind with a different idea what it would be about. But sometimes you just got to follow the muse. #noregrets

Lyrics

My Mind

I’ve written down fifteen things today Read out loud only one or two, but hey I’ve got a million times more to say A billion still stuck in a cage

But I’m afraid My mind is a maze

And its amazing, When I fake it I seem to make it through To the other side

Oh my mind, my mind my mind, my mind my mind, my mind My mind is a maze

I try to count all joy that cross my way Chase it down if it won’t stay, but hey Misery knows how to come and play Hope is timid, might not remain

But I’m afraid My mind is a maze

And its amazing, When I fake it I seem to make it through To the other side

Oh my mind, my mind my mind, my mind my mind, my mind My mind is a maze

Its amazing, When I fake it I seem to make it through To the other side

Oh my mind, my mind my mind, my mind my mind, my mind My mind is a maze

I listened to this one three or four times while I made a cake in my torn-apart kitchen. I found it soothing and encouraging and interesting. A great example of the power of repetition as a gift to the listener. I was able to settle into the song, and I’ll be singing that my mind, my mind, etc bit o myself all week. I found myself thinking about a Coursera course I took years ago called Learning How to Learn. The teacher talked a lot about the power of diffuse thinking where you let your mind be like a pinball machine where a thought ricochets around without any particular destination. I kept thinking this could be the soundtrack to a video about that process. Feels like it is so important for writing music too. Letting your mind be a maze. And yeah amazing comes out of a maze. I like your No Regrets theme for this year. I talk to myself a lot about when a door opens go ahead and step through it.

Very nicely written and performance is nicely understated

Strong melody to this. Musings .. meanderings. You kept me listening. Sort of a dreamscape of a song. Lovely voice!

This is beautiful, especially like the lyrics and the phrase my mind is a maze really got me
