Hey everyone another original song for you. This is one that I have not played in a long time. For the past two weeks I have been venturing outside of the Hermit Shack to do some work, and I happened to have an encounter with a person I had not met before. I used to do some astrological counseling years ago and from time to time I will come into contact with someone, and right away I seem to get a "hit" on some of their archetypes or karma,etc. This is what happened in this instance, and for some reason I was reminded of this song. It is another of those that came into being but I never really played it for anyone and it sort of just faded away from my memory.
It is a sort of collage of feelings around the idea that as human beings we have the desire to "know", whether that is to know the reality of the present or the future (especially if someone tells me that I am going to meet my soulmate!), but many times the "what is" is something we would rather not deal with. This can be personal dynamics/karma/fate, or difficult to face realities of the collective, such as the current state of the Ecology and human civilization.
Thanks for listening !
I don't want to hear about the end of the world
I don't want to cry any more for Her
If you care about what went wrong
You can figure it out on your own
Am I going to find a good-hearted man
Or the kind of woman who will understand
Make a little money doing what I love
What about tomorrow will I have good luck
I know nothing will last
There's no future or past
And everything always come back
Somehow
But I don't want to know right now
Tell me now, can you see
Does everybody else think well of me
I try so hard to do right
The same old things keep me up at night
Chorus
The Earth is old
We are young
Will we be forgiven for what we've done
Try not to think about why
We do what we gotta do just to get by
Chorus
