Story Behind The Song
A SONG ABOUT PEACE OF MIND: HOW IT IS ALWAYS THERE WAITING, THAT THERE IS NOTHING WE HAVE TO DO, EXCEPT REALIZE IT IS WAITING FOR US. SOME PEOPLE ALSO HEAR THIS AS A LOVE SONG, WHICH IS FINE AS WELL. BUT THE LYRIC WAS BORN OUT OF AN EXPERIENCE OF TRANQUILITY ON MY PART
ACHEIVED THROUGH NOT JUDGING OTHERS AND MYSELF FOR A PERIOD OF A FEW DAYS - QUITE THE FEAT! THE SONG - AND I FEAR THIS IS A CLICHE, BUT IT'S TRUE - JUST CAME TO ME. THE MELODY AND LYRIC PLAYED INSISTENTLY IN MY MIND, AND I PICKED UP A GUITAR IN ORDER TO MERELY TRANSCRIBE WHAT I WAS HEARING IN MY HEAD.
Song Description
BREEZY SONG WITH ACOUSTIC GUITARS, BASS, DRUMS, AND VOCALS. THE SONG HAS A CYCLICAL FEEL WITH THE CHORUS CONSISTING OF A SERIES OF 8TH NOTE DOWNSTROKES ON ACOUSTIC GUITARS, FOLLOWED BY A VERSE WHICH ASCENDS DREAMILY, OVER MOSTLY MINOR CHORDS. A LOT OF SIXTHS ARE PLAYED AND SUNG, ADDING TO THE ETHEREAL FEEL OF THE SONG.

Lyrics
PEACE OF MIND
Everything is
Only the way
I knew it could be
All that I want
And all that I dream
Is all that I see
Inside this peace of mind
Where no darkness can find
In a place without time
Where your love is all mine
Everything is
Only the way
I dreamed it could be
All of my fears
Are so far away
And you?re here with me
Inside this peace of mind
Where no darkness can find
In a place without time
Where your love is all mine
It?s always there waiting
Waiting for me
There?s nothing I have to do
There?s no one I have to be
Oh my
Inside
This peace of mind
It?s so fine
Everything is
Only the way
I dreamed it could be
All of my fears
Are so far away
And you?re here with me
Inside this peace of mind
Where no darkness can find
In a place without time
Where your love is all mine
It?s always there waiting
Waiting for me
There?s nothing I have to do
There?s nowhere I have to be
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
That?s all
Peace of mind
Where no darkness can find
In a place without time
Where your love
Is all mine
Whoa
Peace of mind
Where no darkness can find
In a place without time

Peace of mind
Where no darkness can find
