Emily Elbert - Thinking Hybrid; Redirected

A song I wrote in '07 about working to create positive change, and starting with yourself.

Thanks for listening.

lyrics:

It's just more of the same changes
Headphones can only take me so far away
This is the point where I reassess my arrangements
It's time to revert to what needs to be saved

Cause I've spent too long with my shoes on
Let myself start to play it safe
And my reactions became the factions of a misdirected race

Speaking of race, I'm compelled to run
Off the charts of what's expected
Once again, I will channel the sun
Thinking hybrid; redirected

To finding melodies in the white noise
Secret passageways and doors
Trace the trails of forgotten flying creatures
I will never, never again ignore

Speaking of creatures, I'm compelled to fly
Off the charts of what's expected
Once again, I will channel the sky
Thinking hybrid; redirected

A dive into the rain is an awakening; a sudden gust of wind
So as the storm brings forth the green progression
I too, will grow again

I am aware, awake, and able
I am digging in living land
Balanced, yet affected
Perpetual I climb
Above all, I am connected

Thinking hybrid; redirected

You are very easy to listen to. Nice words and love your strumming too. Yes, you sing very well too! You have it going on. I'm looking to be friends with other singer song writers. Sub and friend me and I'll return you the favor so we can see what is going on with each other as we write and upload stuff. Thanks ;-) Good feedback is always welcome despite the source.

Uau! Estoy impaciente por ver lo que cantarás conforme pasen los años.

Just figuring out how your music will grow with years drives me crazy.
