Nothing More Than Love

Story Behind The Song

The lyric came to me while watching the attack on Ukraine around day three. The melody came sometime later, and the idea to explore an older instrumental piece, which was completed around 10 years earlier, after that. I originally intended to do it as a poem recital (which I have never done before and new is always fun especially at 66 years of age)and maybe write a music bed for it. And so it goes...

Song Description

A song about the struggle between the two main ideologies of modern Hominid Sapiens. Knowledge versus willful ignorance.

Song Length 3:44 Genre Electronic - Ambient
Tempo Very Slow (Under 70)

Lyrics

Nothing More than Love

Diving in the deep - that's where the mystery lies
Just beyond the edge of understanding - from there the unknown cries
What is known is sanctified - so novices are satisfied
Mystics have been crucified - for nothing more than love


For centuries the war has raged - the right, the wrong, fully engaged
We'd lock each other in a cell - praising heaven, raising hell
Faith and hope, to sleep at night - everything's gonna be all right
But bully mobs misguided might - is blind to the light of love


Diving in the deep - that's where the answers hide
Just beyond the edge of understanding - not swayed by any tide
So the struggle carries on - like sunbeams breaching a storm dark dawn
Who has won when all is gone - and the hawk devours the dove


The yin, the yang, the chaos ordered - a living globe owned and bordered
Vocal primate with miracle brain - enslaved by ego for short term gain
Some still shelter in old belief - caring not for others' grief
But winter trees will spring new leaf - for nothing more than love
