The old tramp left us to walk our paths as we saw fit, and we have not seen him again to this day, sometimes we wonder if we ever met him at all, or if he was some kind of collective imagining, a dreaming perhaps, a mutual conjuring of our collective desire for guidance and mystery. Yet, we have our memories, our stories, we did walk those concrete streets, we did pass through the docks and ride a rickety old boat across the water, we did cross the threshold and find ourselves in another realm. All these things happened. Now he is gone, to show others that there is more to life than supply and demand, that there really is only one law, the law of the land, and he has left us with that most precious of things, a direction home, a way to walk, and a song to sing, so let us sing our song of home to you, in honour of a man, who was not afraid to walk his own path, and live his own dream.

Come Home

Home

To the skin to the bones

To the voice of the stones

Home

Home

Down deep in the Soil in the Earth in the Heart of it All

Know

That the Heart is no longer alone

For its finally Home  

Here in the place where you are

Where you stand

Where your feet feel the Earth and the Land

And this Land

Well this Land is a place that we know

And this Earth, this Earth is a place we call Home

And it knows

What it knows

And it speaks to the leaves on the trees

In our sleep in our dreams

Of a place we have been

Of a garden of green

And the trees send their roots down to grow

Seek to reach where the rainwater flows

Where the rainwater flows

Come Home

Home

To the skin to the bones

To the voice of the stones

Home

Home

Down deep in the Soil in the Earth in the Heart of it All

Know

That the Heart is no longer alone

For its finally Home

We are the ones we are waiting for

Now with the sun our face

Taste sweet light that is life that is love

That is all that we know

And this Earth, this Earth is a place we call home

And it knows

What it knows

And it speaks to the leaves on the trees

In our sleep in our dreams

Of a place we have been

Of a garden of green

And the trees send their roots down to grow

Seek to reach where the rainwater flows

Where the rainwater flows

Come Home

Home

To the skin to the bones

To the voice of the stones

Home

Home

Down deep in the Soil in the Earth in the Heart of it All

Know

That the Heart is no longer alone  

For its finally Home

Together:

Our story 'Open Up The Gates' is a tale told to us by an old tramp, who walked the streets of a city not far from here for many years, he showed us that there is another world in the shadows of this one, where demons and angels are at play, where police stations and courts of justice can become otherworldly temples of insurrection, where tramps can become Kings. That what we take as being solid and real, is less substantial than we might think, and what we take to be imagination or fancy, has more power than we might imagine. All these things he showed us, and more besides. Before he left our lives, he told us one last story, of our deep connection to each other, and the Earth from which we are sprung, we have paraphrased his last tale, and set it to a dancing beat, for all your dancing feet. It's called 'Together' or 'The Tramps Farewell'.

Now my friends I have to go

So let me show you the direction home

We'll keep our farewells short and our goodbye's sweet

For I am a man with travelling feet

And have many more people that I must meet

To show them the way to the old gate keep

And give them the keys to the meaning they seek

For there's many that are lost int he deepest of sleeps

Each one of them seeking a way to be free

I give you my blessing to be a vessel indeed

And wake these sleepers from their dreams

Tell them all what you have seen

Speak with confidence speak with authority

Speak from your heartfelt love and humanity

Trust in the path that you walk eyes open

Breathe in the belly relax and stay focussed

And if you ever feel the need to call on me

I'll be there in the blink of an eye you'll see

For the body is strong but the spirit is stronger 

And my spirit is with you where ever you wonder

Just picture me in the minds eye vivid

And repeat after me when I sing this lyric

Together we become

Together we become

Together we grow become stronger 

Together we learn become wiser

Together we stand together we build

Together we can together we will

Together anything is possible

Together we're real

Together we're building these bridges

And together we heal

Together we become

Together we become

You've done so well to come this far

Staying alive body and soul mind and heart

The hand that I offered you can always hold

Extend the offer to another let them know they're not alone

For we are all in this together on a fundamental level

All children of a mother need food in our bellies

Heart beat in our chest blood flow in our veins

Of the animals that live and breathe you can say the same

ANd the plants and vegetation are part of the same chain

Driven by DNA and energy exchange

One family of life on this planet Earth

Bound to each other in the moment of our birth

Wholly dependent on the efforts of another for our living

If the bees ever stop buzzing then everything will be finished

If the trees stop breathing then we'll really know our limits

And imagine what'll happen if the Earth stops spinning

All creation is connected and there's no escaping from it

So its better to embrace it find a way to come to love it

Every action that you make has an impact undiscovered

And you are held and supported by the actions of another

So picture this in the minds eye vivid

And repeat after me when I sing this lyric

Together we become 

Together we become

One more thing I have to tell you

Before I vanish in the haze

How to find you rway back home again

From the myriad of ways

There are you could be walking

Well there is one that you may choose

And its easy how to find it

When you know what to do

Remember when the feet are the servants of the mind

And the mind is a servant of the heart

And the heart is full of love for the Earth

In this way you will stay on your path

Remember when the feet are the servants of the mind

And the mind is a servant of the heart

And the heart is full of love for the Earth

In this way you will find your way Home

a keyboard that makes noise and emulates other noise

octave pedal is polyphonic and will only octave the lowest frequency of a complex waveform (a chord) put in. see fast fourier transform for further info or contact roland uk with questions or to get hold of a circuit diagram that you could re-work to build me one that works properly ie. not so sinewavesubbasssynth more warm and with a compressor and decent tracking processor i would be really happy and would greatly offer something in exchange
