Tao I (live 2016​.​08​.​09)

about

Live (home) studio recording of Tao I. The song is based on the first chapter of the Taoist text the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu. Words do not transmit true reality, only a limited reflection. Desire causes not only suffering but also a distorted vision of reality.

lyrics

The way I speak of is not the eternal way.
Names for things I´m giving, not eternal names.
The sky and earth come from a place without name.
The name is the mother of a million billion things

A secret´s not a secret when it´s not kept secret.
Things I never told you, truest of them all.

Without desire the forest can be seen.
Full of desire, only see the trees.
It´s all different, from the same source.
Hard to handle, looks like chaos.

A secret´s not a secret when it´s not kept secret.
Things I never told you, truest of them all.

Truest of them all dear. Truest of them all.
Things I never told you, truest of them all.

A secret´s not a secret when it´s not kept secret.
Things I never told you, truest of them all.

Darkness within darkness, the gate to mystery.
Darkness within darkness, are we too blind to see?
Are we too blind to see?

about

SHT Musik Valencia, Spain

Like the Lettermen segment from whence comes the name of this project, these are my stupid human tricks. They are simple home recordings done almost always as a one-man band.
Mostly the songs are about the human condition, my personal trials and tribulations with inner demons and addictions, and anything else that I find interesting or amusing.
