Sun, and moon both in the sky Breeze from the west and there am I Wanting you to smell the pines, with me. In the valley, the twilights shine The sparkling creek recalls a time when you were here with me. The glory of our love is told In the stories that we hold How dear you are to me. Each day comes and each day goes Time slips away and no one knows When the final day will be. With you beside me I don’t care I see the flower in your hair Let’s take a walk and see. The glory of our love is told In the stories that we hold How dear you are to me.

Swing Low 05:08
I’m a work in progress. I’m spinning my wheels Part A never fits in Part B My thoughts are awry. I can’t think. I just cry. I’m a clean up on aisle number three. I’m a discontinued model, I’m out of order I’m.temporarily out of stock My lines are all busy. Please stand by. My thoughts are all tied up in knots Swing low sweet chariot Take me past where the angels fear to tread Fly me somewhere over the rainbow, Right down through the valley of the shadow of death And death’s stinking breath is on me Each time he breaths I feel worse He whispers smugly in my ear some twisted joke about me and a hearse. When I turn around to face him he crawls down my throat. I feel him deep inside me Feasting on my hopes Swing low sweet chariot Take me past where the angels fear to tread Fly me somewhere over the rainbow, Right down through the valley of the shadow of death So when you feel death walk behind you Pick up your pace and move along feel that rabbit run across your grave. You can lose him in the chorus of this song. Swing low sweet chariot Take me past where the angels fear to tread Fly me somewhere over the rainbow, Right down through the valley of the shadow of death

Billy 04:38
Billy The Bully V1. With his tongue froze to the flag pole bare feet on icy ground Billy barely had time to wonder why they’d pulled his chinos down. It was cold at Fort McHenry, and the wind began to blow Above him waved old glory, it had just begun to snow. V2. Billy’d been a piece of work most all his life. As a kid he bullied smaller kids, grew up and beat his wife. He’d crank it up at Down The Hatch, drink hard most every night Then stumble home down Cuba street, spoiling for a fight. V3. The men from Engine 26 got tired of Billy’s crap. They’d seen the bruises on his wife and kids and decided to step up As he stumbled down Fort Avenue one night, they tossed him in a van And gave back what he’d given out with a fair but solid hand. V4. Billy was no match for them, but he was slow to get the drift. In a darkened corner of Latrobe Park, some pulled a double shift. He saw stars. The intervention lasted through the night, Along about sunrise broken Billy saw the light. V5. Out on old Fort McHenry by the new dawn’s early light. The fire men dragged Billy, he was not pretty sight They convened around the flag pole, stuck his tongue and dropped his pants. And left him there to think about his life and second chance. V6. So when you see a flag pole, think of Bullies that you knew Think of the men of Engine 26 on old Fort Avenue Next time you meet a bully be prepared to take a stand Find a flag pole and step forward with a fair but solid hand.  V7 Bullies are just bullies, they hate themselves a lot, Striking out at other folks is really all they’ve got. That don’t make it right. We all should take a stand To stop them drunken bullies anyway we can Technique, Inc. © Copyright 2008

Be Here Now., Be Here Now If woulda, shoulda drives you crazy then you're on the wrong path trying livin in the present 'stead of living in the past. The present is a present.

Every beat your heart and every breath you take happens for a reason and there are no mistakes. Be Here Now.

If you spend your life right you can earn some respect Everything you do has a cause and effect Be Here Now. Be Here Now. © Technique, Inc. 2004

about

Ty Ford Baltimore, Maryland

Sound, light and matter are all energy at different frequencies.

I was curious as to how the frequencies of the colors of the chakras could be converted into frequencies of sound.

I was amazed when everything began to fall into place. I hope these soundscapes work as strongly for you as they have for others.
