No Hesitation drumfish, ©2010 All around me moves I must be going Convey to them the news Bounded by nothing I am what I am Zero to nine So what is the truth The truth's been lying And sometimes I see it clear I am me Change my sight despite my fear And once upon a time it was You are me I changed my mind up just because I could see more clearly then before Who are we I golden wealth in place of poor I can see what I must do to be the truth Who are we I will do this thing I am already gone There's no control No hesitation Here the darkness reigns I have long way to run A long way to go Have some patience Remembering the light I am not meant to be I have hid it here So confined to Time to make it right I will always be me For whats been given No where to run to And sometimes I see it clear I am me Change my sight despite my fear And once upon a time it was You are me I changed my mind up just because I could see more clearly then before Who are we I golden wealth in place of poor I can see what I must do to be the truth Who are we There is nothing I can do There is nothing I will do There is always something new There is nothing more to do I am already gone All around me moves No hesitation I must be going Long long way to run Convey to them the news must have some patience Bounded by nothing I'm not meant to be Remembering the light So confined to I have it hid here I'll always be me Time to make it right No where to run to For what's been given And sometimes I see it clear I am me Change my sight despite my fear And once upon a time it was You are me I changed my mind up just because I could see more clearly then before Who are we I golden wealth in place of poor I can see what I must do to be the truth Who are we Time and time again you know I am me It seems to me I haven't shown Falling through the atmosphere You are me Haven't tried to make it clear And I know and I know I know Who are we What I am I can see Its falling down this clarity Who are we I can see what I must do to be the truth -- about the music -- No Hesitation B-side One of the lines in the first verse says, “I am what I am, zero to nine”. What exactly does it mean to be “zero to nine”? Alex does a lot of work in developing an understanding of how numbers relate to consciousness, which he sees as being central to physics and the underlying nature of energy. Through his work he has offered ideas which tie mathematics and physics to spirituality. Much of this centers around the basis that there exists a kind of harmony between the structure of consciousness and a circle divided into nine parts. Through various geometries and number sequences, other deeper calculations can made and other connection understood. On the circle, nine and zero are in the same position, and so the end is the beginning. When the protagonist in our story says this line, it is referring to all parts of himself, beginning to end. For more about Alex’s work see: http://www.alexpetty.com/2010/06/06/mapping-the-terrains-of-consciousness-with-foundational-mathematics/ This is the song where our protagonist has begun to make an inward change in his world view. He says, “I have already gone, no hesitation”. Yet, he still struggles to stay centered on his path stating, “I have long way to run, have some patience”. He has internalized the need for spiritual re-emergence but is still battling himself. It is a battle against ego which all of us are destined to one day win. It could be said that life itself is a struggle to defeat this inner adversary. This struggle is represented through the vocal lines in the song. It begins with one solo voice which grows to two and then three with each successive verse. Each of the voices in the verses represent a different part of the inner monologue of our protagonist. The lead line is his general outward focus and thoughts. The second line that is introduced in the second verse is his conscious talking back to him. If you listen closely you will hear that this line is making a commentary on the lead line’s thoughts. The third line is the negative line inside him that is still lingering. Each voice is in counterpoint with the other and sung at the same time. The lines are distinct yet somehow work together in the same way the various parts of his inner monologue work together. Similarly the choruses grow in numbers until at the end, there are 8 vocals singing 4 parts. This represents the growing momentum of his journey. As he begins, not only does he pick up steam, but he inspires others to come along with him. He is not just making a change within himself but also affecting others as he does so.
