Gaia - lyrics

This song was born out of my decision to write, record and co-produce for the first time, an album of songs about my personal feelings, in order to do so I had to let some other commitments go.

This song came to me in the car on the way to the studio, it was during a time when I was having a lot of problems and I sent this song to all the negative forces in my life. December 93.

For the loves of my life, Matt and Chloe. Byron Bay Jan 94.

I saw Pegasus in a meditation so vividly that the next night I woke up with this song in my head!

I wrote this song the night after my surgery, as I was pondering the question "why me" as everyone does. My father died with dignity of cancer on the day I was diagnosed and he never complained for a moment, this is for him. Los Angeles August 1992.

I found this half finished in a drawer full of tapes I started it in the late 80's. It reflects my ongoing feelings for the old growth forests that are so threatened by man. L.A. 198.?

Gaia is the spirit of Mother Earth. She is the giver of dreams and the nourisher of plants and young children. This song came to me at 3:00 AM on a cold winters morning in Byron Bay and I was compelled to write and finish it. I feel the spirit of Mother Earth spoke to me. August 1993.

To kindred spirits everywhere. LA Sept 93.

This song was born of joy, I asked for help and received it. Byron Bay August 1993.

The first song that I have ever been asked to write was for a powerful and frightening documentary "The Last Whale", I feel this is the plight of all the planets creatures and I changed whale to wild for the album. Byron Bay Nov 93.

I wrote this after chemotherapy treatment. It speaks for itself. Los Angeles 1992.

I find it painful that some people are so unaccepting of each others beliefs, in my experience they all have merit, Chloe and her school sang on this one. Byron Bay 1993.
