Thank you so much for your kindest support=) Download YT MP3 http://rapidshare.com/files/235701263/Directions_to_Home.mp3
Story of the Song: I originally wrote the chorus on my ukulele while driving back from Berlin. The ukulele is so much more portable, it beats lugging my Martin, though I 'd lug it everywhere if could. I remember asking "Do You know where you're going?" while the "driver" was fumbling with the GPS while strumming a chord progression in the passenger seat. Watched a movie that later inspired me to finish the rest of the song. Wonder if you can guess the movie=) After listening to the lyrics, there can be many ways this song can be interpreted...what's yours? =)

Lyrics:
Capo 5 landslide F5, G5, A5, Am)
last chorus pedal tone
F C/G Dm Bb

Do you know where you're goin
With your sense of direction
If you're lost will you be following
My directions to home

These untold seas ahead of you
harsh blows a-waiting from the crashing shores
released into the wild in search of the truth
Hope you find what you're looking for

You'll be passing through cold wrought iron gates
beneath the crumbling rubble of a sandstone arch
where you've been and gone, noone can relate
to the truth of existence you've found in your heart
C
Trembling hard trying not to be found
So Weary of the judges and being accused
Salvation now is the sweetest sound
If I only had directions to you

Blinded by the lies and all that it binds
Awakened is the truth from this deceitful moon
Dawn is stirring behind these eyes
If I only had directions to you

Do you know where you are going
With your sense of direction
If I only knew where you were going
where you were going

Cause I don't know where I'm going
With my sense of direction
and If I'm lost will I be following
My directions to home?

You Always knew where you were going
With your sense of direction
If I only knew where you were going
You're my directions
Directions to home

I don't usually comment on videos but.... The lyrics to this song are amazing. The song is well played and sung but the words are deep. I also love the fact that a profound song was birthed out of fumbling with GPS.
