DESCRIPTION:
encouragement is a big word for me...i believe people blossom and flourish on a big bed of that stuff...
it also feels good giving it....
sometimes i think there's too much of the opposite....
i remember what a none achiever i was at school,and mostly cause i was frightened and constantly put down by shouty teachers and bullish pupils...
i dreaded every day of the classroom , playground and bus ride home...
in the end i just kept myself to myself, and built a protective world of records and musical instruments,until i was old enough to leave.

once i was out into the world i found kindred spirits who'd also left home and school in their mid teens, and whose life revolved completely one hundred per cent around music....
we gave each other fun loving encouragement.... we developed and found real confidence , i became a songwriter.

so that's where this song is coming from...
the idea of being gently encouraged instead of being put down or having your mind fucked with...
many people insist on doing that....
and the more you give them ...the more they'll fuck with you, or try to hold you hostage...
but there's a place of freedom beyond all that,
and this song encourages all to go there....to let go, and have as much possibility and satisfaction in this life.

i havent posted in a long time...
no real reason or excuse needed...
but i hope all's well in everyone's world,
and if not,i hope you can find the door to the best options and possibilities.
life for all it's heartbreak is a great thing.

love , peace, and happiness every time
