Mountain Mirrors
Imagine Opeth, Nick Drake and Pink Floyd jamming acoustic dirges around a fire in the woods under a full moon, while the outside world blows itself to bits. Fireflies dance in a blackened breeze. Apparitions and lost souls revel in the sound.

Description
Imagine Opeth, Nick Drake and Pink Floyd jamming acoustic dirges around a fire in the woods under a full moon, while the outside world blows itself to bits. Fireflies dance in a blackened breeze. Apparitions and lost souls revel in the sound. Mountain Mirrors is dark, kaleidoscopic acoustic music for poets, travelers and seekers.
The songs:
Stay Evil - It's about following a spiritual path and finding some enlightenment. And how things the world perceives as good and evil are...relative.
The Demon's Eye - The lyrics to this song came in a flash of inspiration like I've never felt before. What does it mean to you?
Karmic Dogs - This is also about the relativity of good and evil. Maybe some bad deeds bring good karma. And the other way around.
Your Time Has Come - Imagine the innocent victims of a sadistic, power-mad ruler as they rise from the ground, laughing. Finally able to partake in Judgment Day.
Calm Before the Storm - This uses the Four Horsemen as a metaphor for how the world feels sometimes these days. Every time we turn on the damn news, it seems like Armageddon. And if you dig deep enough into a lunatic's prophesies, you'll find them happening everywhere.
Alone in a Crowd - We all know how it feels to be in a crowd of people and feel completely alone inside. For some people, it's all the time.
Deploribus Unum - Sometimes it feels like if there's a God, He, She or It has abandoned us. Or maybe we drove them away...then again, in an infinite universe, how much time can God devote to a parasitic human race?
Praying Mantis - This is the first song I wrote after "Lunar Ecstasy" - right after my grandfather passed away. Maybe the most lost I've ever felt in my life. I put it down and came back to it after seeing a documentary about the death of the great John Lennon...Shot in the back in front of the Dakota hotel by Mark Chapman. The working title for awhile was "Devil at the Dakota". I just didn't feel right releasing it under that title, so a meditation produced the title "Praying Mantis".
