From the recording Eclipse
Downstream is the song that got me back into musical creation following a 5-year gap after I left Hi-Hat. I believe it to be one of my most accomplished songs to date, with solid arpeggios and poetic lyrics.
Lyrics
A song as any song
A swinging guitar feeling
An easy melody
That tries and make you happy
'Cause you so need it
You barely know it
In pain from thinking
Looking for meaning
You waste time licking
Those wounds you're breeding
Waiting in numbness
A way out of darkness
A song, a feeling, an anchor to the present
A song, a feeling, a line of sight downstream
A song, a feeling, an untouchable moment
A song, a feeling, a line of sight downstream
A day like any day
Neither sunny nor gray
Reaching a foreign place
And embrace it with grace
You've been here before
You struck to the core
There is no escape
But to see through the drape
It's easy going, it's easy going
You make some mistakes, and that's what it takes
It's easy going, it's easy going
There is no great truth and no secret booth
A laugh as any laugh
Whole rather than half
Like a spring in your mind
And you're no longer blind
