We are lyrics striving to be fully heard...rhythms of unseen values and times infinite yet to be expressed. No accident that much of the bible reads like poetry~ Poetry, the voice of spirit.

Poetry is a place you get lost in to find yourself, to 'feel' something. One could say it is all cerebral. But it is to 'feel' something, whether you are the poet or the reader (in music lyrics sung, the "listener").

Poetry is another language to carry the psyche through the various dimensions of dark and light. It is an abstract built-in mechanism for most poets/musicians whether they write limericks, long tomes, or lyrics, to cope with living and the measures of existing, life and death, love, loss, to understand, to make sense, to find answers, to "feel".

We have listened to the song and we have mastered the lyrics, now we need a cover.

I don't care what you're all wrapped in.
It's fun--don't get me wrong.
Fancy cars and expensive clothes,
new colors and fabrics and faces...
but what's most fun is seeing how
differently you're treated.
How differently you treat yourself.
It's fun, until it's disappointing.

If you want to know what genuine poetry really is, listen to the lyrics of the legendary magical-rock group Uriah Heep's songs performed between 1969 and 1976. They are nothing short of uniquely magical and fantastically devine. They are all indeed superhuman! The superb acme of the poetic art!
