about

I found myself perplexed by the notions of comedian, Bill Hicks one night and it gave me the inspiration to write a song based on his insights into life. Although, severely misunderstood by most people, Hicks spoke truth into a world not wanting to hear it. Today, I'm sure he'd have helped enliven us with his quips and jabs at media and the many social issues we face.

I hope to inspire people with my music, so please, read the lyrics. This song is dedicated to everyone that hears it.

All parts were recorded in one session.

lyrics

STAR RIDE
(N. Parent)


Everyone knows that we are sleeping,
But we can't tell when we are dreaming';
And I don't know what we are thinking'.
No, I can't tell how I am feelin'.

Everyone's sick of what we are losing!
Something is stuck; the life we have chosen
Doesn't stop. Not for one minute!
Can't get off, it'll always be spinnin'.

No, the truth, it's only a ride
We can change at any moment.
You don't need work, just need some hope; and
We can be free to choose our lives.
Just let go, keep your eyes open, don't have fear,
your heart will keep loving.

The world will change, when everyone is awoken.
The words that are said, shall not be misspoken.
Some might say that we are joking, 
Listen not to the lies they are choking on
to save up all of their money;
Once made up to keep everyone happy.
Now we're all tired of making a living.
When's the last time you felt you were livin'?

Don't buy in, invest in passions!
Then we can say, "Hey! Everyone's learning!"
You'll feel fulfilled; your time won't keep burnin'
away. We go! The change's are slow.
Break the glass blocking your view and
step on through into a new age.

Stop living slow.
Time moves not slow and we are stars.
All parts of stars; and we are bright!
I am alive! We're all alive, so, let's start living!

Let's start today!
