about

Another theme that runs throughout the album 2X2L is appreciation of life. I had this idea for a song for quite some time. Can't believe I actually was able to pull it off because it's 95% close to what was in my head. It was a difficult song to pull together in places and because of that I didn't think most people would like it. Ironically I'm currently getting the most positive reviews about this song. It is actually a two section song and is featured and listed as two separate tracks on the CD. Track 5 You Are! and track 6 State Of Independant Grace. Firstly there is the upfront feelgood rocker and then secondly there is this instrumental, ethereal approach in sound and vision. I feel these two should stay connected hence the extended length of the song.

lyrics

Gonna shake my legs and jump for joy
Gotta clean bill of health from Dr. McCoy
Because I'm blessed
Yeah blessed
I know I am blessed
I am blessed
Yeah blessed

Got 12 guitars and a place to be
Can see so far as two rivers meet
Ain't talkin religion
Just feeling grateful
Blessed
Yeah blessed
I know that I'm blessed
I'm blessed
Your blessed

Though we're aware
Of other's misfortunes
Most of us care
Because we know the wages
Not just by opening
Our wallets or purses
More to the faith
And less what it buys

If faith is a ritual
Then love is a verb
To return to the altar
To begin again, again, again...

guitar solo

Last time I told you
Faith is a ritual
No love included
Wash away standards
Be open hearted
To return to the altar again, and again, and, again

Blessed
Your blessed
We don't know how we're blessed
I'm blessed
Your Blessed

Got all my toys
And my silicon beats
Connected by a thousand strands
Pointless to pause
To withstand the heat
Cause we're blessed
Yeah blessed
