Lyrics

Motion drumfish, ©2010 City streets like a motion picture Handed down from a holy scripture There's something about you 'gonna believe in all the words I say. You're 'gonna believe this now forevermore Does your mind line up with what you've found Compared to all these words you've written down Do you still believe in all the thoughts of your so called truth and now I say Where is the humanity in the streets? You know that I just don't see it anymore, don't see it anymore Brothers just don't love their brothers no more. I am talking about Love Love Love Love Times got this hold on me you know it seems to be a place of great uncertainty I've hidden it away in the center of my circle endlessly if you wait for the moment when everything is perfect then you may never begin Down to the wire we go again We go again Where is the humanity in the streets? You know that I just don't feel it anymore, don't feel it anymore Brothers just don't love their brothers no more. I am talking about Love You can feel it on the inside Love Within you find the brightest light Love Everything you know You dont' know What you know.... Nothing was ever in your hands Nothing was ever in mine Only love remains when the illusion falls away Let your mind gently hover over the details of your life Let your life arise by letting be what is I am talking about Love You can see it on the inside Love Immerse yourself in higher light Love Everything you know What you know You dont' know You can show All you are is Love -- About Motion -- In the Spring of 2009 drumfish reunited. There had been a few failed attempts at reuniting since the breakup in 1999 but none that really took firm root. In that 10 year gap, the four members played music together in various formations and in other separate projects but for whatever reason, the time was right for drumfish to resume their work together in earnest in early 2009. The band got back together with the intention of finally completing the unreleased 3rd CD and doing a reunion concert. When we first began rehearsing for the reunion concert, our focus was brushing up on the older material in preparation for the coming show. However, as rehearsals continued, we began introducing new music. It was invigorating to be writing and arranging this new material and before long we found ourselves in a torrent of creativity. Our rehearsals now centered on writing and arranging new music. One of the songs from this period is Motion . We began to notice that throughout all of the new songs, an underlying message was emerging, a message carrying a call to action for needed change in the world. The new work was filled with images of light and life offset by apocalypse and destruction. The poetic balance of light and dark was flowing through us and finding voice in our music. As this realization began to crystalize, we started to craft the lyrics and melodic themes to line up with an overarching story line, a story involving a protagonist dealing with this call to action. We chose the ten songs that best told this story and went into the studio to work with our good friend and amazing engineer/producer/musician Kevin “131” Gutierrez to record CD #4. “Motion” sets the stage for the story line of the album. It deals with a protagonist’s first inklings that something is not right within and without. He sees that before him lies a journey of self-discovery and a need to make a difference in the world despite the apparent inner and outer turmoil reflected everywhere. “Where is the humanity in the streets?” the protagonist asks himself. “Brothers just don’t love their brothers no more”. The third verse in particular sets the tone for what’s to come, the inner voice emerging from the chaos offering the guidance to “Let your life arise by letting be what is”. It is for this reason that Motion became the first track on Memoirs.
