philosophy sides side-effects
Happiness is a side effect of doing something that has nothing to do with it.
people focal-point involved
I'd like to have younger people around me and that I'll be involved with them a lot more now, as opposed to me being the main focal point.
daughter mother father
Honor thy Father and thy Mother was once said, but then someone said: What if I don't know your Father? A still voice said: Does that makes him the devil? He is still someone's Father, his name has been changed, but his story is the same. Why hate when we should Celebrate. In this world of two's, you got the Mourning Son, and the Daughter of the Night. They both equal light once you make it through the night. Now, wake the funk up!
layers higher
There's a magical layer of love that's laced, designed to take us to a higher place.
stars school mirrors
I used to draw stickmen with star glasses when I was at school. I didn't realise that would end up being me! The whole idea was that the glasses had mirrors, and if a youngster looked at me, they'd see themselves. Everybody is a star.
knowing rocks water
The secret to walkin´ on water is knowing where the rocks are.
thinking essence mind
Funk is the absence of any and everything you can think of, but the very essence of all that is. And saying that, I'm saying funk is anything that we create in our minds that we want to do, what we want to be, but we don't have the resources.
fake noses funk
If you fake the funk, your nose will grow.
allowed experiment george
George is the doctor. He allowed me to experiment in his lab.
american-musician following instead stay
That's pretty much what we try to do. Stay with that one instead of following the Jones, I just like to come up with my own stuff.
american-musician band help knows whatever
Everyone in the band pretty much knows that whatever they want to do I am there for them, if they need my help or not, I am there for them.
approach forgotten great listen
When I play with other people, I always have to approach it differently. It's a give-and-take thing. You have to listen to other people's ideas, and that's a great thing. We've kind of forgotten how to do that.
