DESCRIPTION:
At the risk of sounding egotistical, I'm very proud of this song. I recorded all of the instruments and vocals completely on my own at home so, all things considered, I think I did a damned good job. And I took the picture in 1987 while in Israel. Amazing how just adding an aged film effect makes it look like it's moving ... well, almost. ;)


"Undercurrents" by Carlin Joie Belof

All thoughts flow out of my mind
as the river rushes swiftly by'
The madness of the world goes away
as the river cleanses thoughts that stray
back to the world I left behind
as the river rushes swiftly by
The undercurrents pull me in
The river brings me peace within

Can you feel its power to purify the soul?
Can you feel the danger to give in to its control?
Can you feel its passion to kiss the dirt from off the rocks?
Can you feel its conviction to boldly stay its course?
If only I could be like the river I can feel
It calls to me to enter and let my heart and mind be free
But fear of drowning holds me back, shackles my feet to the ground
So I can only stand and watch it's wonder that I've found
I can only stop and watch it's beauty all around

All thoughts flow out of my mind
as the river rushes swiftly by'
The madness of the world goes away
as the river cleanses thoughts that stray
back to the world I left behind
as the river rushes swiftly by
The undercurrents pull me in
The river brings me peace within.
