Steps . . .



A house isn't always a home.
Being lonely isn't being alone.
Heroes save other ones in distress.
Some in charge end up making a mess.

Though desire directs us to explore,
Prudence sometimes instructs to ignore.
Facts continue to flow and to ebb.
Use the knowledge to choose the right step.



New performance  of an older composition Steps
Recorded March 31, 2020 while sheltering-in-place

Long . . .

. . . steps . . .


. . . the long version of Steps, that is . . .



The path presents itself
Saying choose this or stay
Enticing all travelers
In search of a way

It may require stamina
You may feel you went wrong
Exercising perseverance though
Makes quick work of what seemed so long

There are things I'd very much like to sell 
But it's hard to find a buyer
I know that I'm able to climb these steps
But it seems like they keep getting higher

Steps . . .


Nothing good just magically occurs
Or is built instantaneously
For a thing to have beauty
And substance and strength
It must be undertaken with appropiate gravity

For some this is baffling
And produces great vex
Desiring immediate gratification
Can prevent the careful taking of steps

Steps . . .

. . . and hours . . .


On and on flow the hours
Like rolling waves upon the sea
And like so many and so varied flowers
Each one some nectar for the bee

We're keeping tabs and writing numbers
Logging each minute in the book
We have a choice to
Either dread the counting
Or see the forest if we look

Store the knowledge
Hoard the wisdom
Take the years
And just run like crazy
Party’s only
What you make it
Make it into the
Best you can

There’s no protection from the power
Generated everyday
The blazing lights shine
From each lofty tower
To illuminate the way

Things that never occur to you
In the spring
Become clear with each
Passing season

All options must be on the table
All points of view be understood
And if you don’t do ev’ry thing you’re able
Make sure you do those which are good

Store the knowledge
Hoard the wisdom
Take the years
And just run like crazy
Party’s only
What you make it
Make it into the
Best you can


The Hours

More Steps . . .



Have you not heard his silent steps?
He comes, comes, ever comes.

Every moment and every age,
every day and every night he comes, comes, ever comes.

Many a song have I sung in many a mood of mind,
but all their notes have always proclaimed,
`He comes, comes, ever comes.'

In the fragrant days of sunny April through the forest path he comes,
comes, ever comes.

In the rainy gloom of July nights on the thundering chariot of clouds
he comes, comes, ever comes.

In sorrow after sorrow it is his steps that press upon my heart,
and it is the golden touch of his feet that makes my joy to shine.
-Rabindranath Tagore

Steps . . .


. . . of songwriting are like steps of a business decision . . .


(based upon information at http://www.umassd.edu/fycm/decisionmaking/process/)
Step 1: Identify the decision to be made.
In songwriting-do you want to write a cry-in-your-beer-song-about-a-love-gone-wrong . . . or a JAZZ INSTRUMENTAL?

Step 2: Gather relevant information.
In songwriting-if you know nothing about jazz, stick to the first.

Step 3: Identify alternatives.
In songwriting-the beer song should be a 4/4 country-type ballad with a catchy hook, the instrumental could be a modal configuration, a waltz, a swing in 4 or 8, a searing, uptempo hard-bop number?

Step 4: Weigh evidence.
In songwriting-skip this one.

Step 5: Choose among alternatives.
In Songwriting-see 1, 2 and 3.

Step 6: Take action.
In songwriting-sit down and WRITE the sucker.

Step 7: Review decision and consequences.
In songwriting-play it, (sing it), listen to it.  Do you like it? Move on to the next one.
