we’re all in a play called, “The Passionate Days” where we’re all tryin’ find some peace of mind and we wanna be free but we want it for free you know it’s gettin’ harder to find that peace of mind red velvet will fall the last curtain call it’s somethin’ to see for you and me so fill up your glass an’ have a big laugh we’ll shout at the moon the big empty moon yeah we’ll fill up the glasses while it all elapses we’ll throw stones at the moon the big empty moon big empty moon big empty moon big empty moon

I really gotta take a little time aside and ask myself, questions that are on my mind ask myself questions, see what I might find ‘cause we’re never gonna make with this planet, man if we’re always in a hurry makin’ other plans besides the one, that’s facin’ us to, understand still in the dark of night when everything seems to be alright, alright, alright a flame is found and there it lies deep inside see it dancin’ in the shadows, see it come alive without a sound it flares up, yeah it never dies it’s been dancin’ in the shadows, in my favorite mind it’s in my favorite mind it’s in my favorite mind in my favorite mind

about

These songs originated on nylon guitar. Then Ayo and I organically added tracks on top which took them to unexpected and delightfully surprising new territory. Lastly, I added some ambient textures while still retaining the original emotional intention. - Don
