SUNLIGHT KISSES BURN THE CHROME -- A call to hit the road with white light heat and unbridled passion.And to gear up daily to fight the ever encroaching dark forces... CROSS AND THE CROWN - A plaintive, contemplative love song written under a high noon sun knowing that the shadows soon will fall... TENANT IN THE HOUSE OF LIFE - We're all living in the same world and we all have to deal with landlords on this earth who for the most part are sons of bitches ... SHADOW OF THE BLADE -- A response to the current foreboding world situation. It has a kind of ancient gothic feel and could have been written a long time ago and probably holds true for a long time to come ... BLACK TAR - Chimayo is a Holy Place in Northern New Mexico with a very old church and healing earth, but nearby there is also a very big heroin problem which is heartbreaking... BOOK OF SIGHT — A metaphysical seeking for a true and pure vision which by the very nature of the quest sets one apart and puts one quite often in a very dangerous position ... DEATH - To me this felt like a gospel tune and no matter how close the pale horseman is you've got to keep on, and be always defiant... SWEET DARKNESS — An area in which solace can be found — a bittersweet sometimes exciting, dangerous cathartic place where the illuminating flames and dark hallways exist... BETTER ANGEL - A somewhat political road song with a ragged plea for some kind of divine intervention and better tunes on the cosmic radio that curl up the hair on the back of your neck ... BUILDING A COFFIN - A somber funeral march kind of tune. When I lived in the backwoods of Tennessee I would go into this little church and play this old out of tune piano. This song comes pretty much from there and is dark in tone until the last verse... GOLDEN SONG - A "car/road song" with an aching feel and a constant looking to find something: a song, a great painting, poem, friend, a lover — a connection ... SUNSET RIDE -- All of our days are numbered, so let the sunset be magnificent and breathtaking. Be strong, tough and beautiful, and like the comet, explode into universal Stardust... P.O.
