Details:
Composed over the course of the past 20 years, "Wherever You Go ... BEAR You Are" is comprised of 11 original compositions (10 vocal tracks and 1 instrumental track), blending roots reggae positivity and skankiness with classic-rock and jam-band-ish melodies that will take the listener on a musical journey through numerous other genres, moods and modalities. While the final sound may be VERY difficult to classify within any one single genre, many of these songs are extremely catchy and easy to sing along with and will be easily accessible to fans of many different types of music; from Blues and Rock to Jam Bands, Americana, Psychedelic Rock, Folk, Reggae, Jazz, and even Classical.

It is the artist's hope that these songs will provide listeners with mantras and tools that will be helpful in dealing with the dynamics of our rapidly-changing planet and culture, banishing habitual negative thought patterns to the buried layers of their brains, never to be seen or heard from again. Recognizing that we are all part of the universal one and the role each of us plays as co-creator of our universe, this album is deeply spiritual without ever preaching to its audience. "Welcome to the Luvolution!", in particular, may be considered an anthem in the soundtrack to our newly-emerging culture of cooperation and community. It is the artist's prayer that the songs contained on "Wherever You Go ... BEAR You Are" may help us all to more quickly and fluidly breathe into reality the paradise we all know is waiting for us!


The Gift
This is the present, the here and now,
Calling you and me to be THE GIFT

Head for the Hills (Sittinâ on Top of the World)
Drop what youâre doing, no time for that now
Time that we head for the hills
No use in asking what, why, when, or how
Ready, set, head for the hills
Cool breezes, sitting on top of the world
Time seizes, the here and the now become swirled
Weâll swim with the fishes and weâll fly with the hawks
Weâll whoop with the whoopering wills
Weâll run with the panthers, get sly with a fox and
Weâll roam where the antelope will
Weâll be sitting on top, sitting on top of the world (X4)
Letâs get back to our mother, get back to our roots
Replenish the cup we must fill
Wake now discover the fountain of youth
Let us run now and head for the hills

Bubble
Gonna blow a big fat bubble for us to dance inside
There wonât be any walls for us to hide behind
Weâll spin and roll until they tell us to go home
We donât want any trouble
Weâll roll and spin until the chubby lady sings
Rolling and spinning in our bubble
Gonna blow a big fat bubble about one foot off the floor
And once we step inside nothing can hurt us anymore
Gonna blow a big fat bubble for all the world to see
Then all thatâs left to know is would you like to float with me?
Weâll float and roll until they tell us to go home
We donât want any trouble
Weâll roll and float until we hear the last sweet note
Rolling and floating in our bubble
â¦Whoa⦠Iâm gonna blow a big fat bubble

Butterfly
Butterfly, you flutter by on a wing and prayer
Never stopping long enough to show the world you care
Purple wings so paper thin makes me wonder how you fly
So fragile yet how strong you are, on up and up you rise
Watch out for the net now butterfly
Faster than a jet now flutter by
I ainât finished yet my butterfly
Please give the love you get now my sweet butterfly
When the rainbow shows amid a glorious sunshower
Will you rest your tired wings upon the lotus flower?
Or, will you simply fly on by for fear you may be touched?
Butterfly, so delicate, one touch may be way too much
One day a young man netted you but then he set you free
Pray youâll land again someday so that you might see
Not all of us would trap you, try to keep you for our own
Remember this sweet butterfly, you reap the seeds youâve sown

The Honeybee Song
Itâs a good thing for the honeybee
Nobody told him he couldnât fly
Just doing what comes naturally
Like any other bird in the sky
Even modern science canât explain the wonder of it all
How a world so big could seem so small
Anything is possible, yes anything at all
No job too big, no tale too tall
Peace around the world begins right here at home
Together we can change the world
Open up your eyes, discover you are not alone
Open up your voice, let your song be heard
Buzz around, buzz around, around my hive
Donât you tell me you canât fly

High Time
Walkinâ along just the other day
I was just walkinâ along, Eugene, Oregon
Came across some hippies
They were just kickinâ it in the park
Strumming guitar and singinâ a song
Itâs high time
To consider what position my condition is in
Itâs high time
To get on with the show
I donât mind
If the middle of the riddle comes a little too late
I donât mind,
So you might as well give it a go
People get on red-eye
Cause the showâs about to start
Put a little beat, put a little beat,
Mama put a little beat in your heart
All aboard cause the bus about to leave,
I said you better get ready to go
Weâre gonna get down, gonna get down
To some good olâ rock nâ roll
Itâs All Mind over matter, if you donât mind, it doesnât matter (X4)
â¦So you might as well give it a go

Lasso Me the Moon
The sun goes down
The outer edge of twilight is upon us
Just look around
Thereâs a fast approaching darkness
Moonglow⦠Halo⦠Lassoâ¦
Gonna lasso me the moon
Tonightâs the night thatâs gonna last forever
Time will stop, weâll all get off
As one by one, the kingdom we will enter
Upon a breeze so feather-soft
Moonglow⦠Halo⦠Lassoâ¦
Gonna lasso me the moon
A wolf somewhere is howling, sheâs howling at the moon
Aaaooowww Iâm gonna lasso me the moon (X2)
Swinging on a beam of light that is tied around the moon
Dancing through the starlit night âneath velvet skies of June
The momentâs right, Iâm feeling light, the cosmos are aligned
Oneness is upon us now, all energies unite
Moments flow unstoppable when youâre living in a blue dream
Anything is possible when youâre swinging on a moon-beam

Rock Star
In life, there is a struggle to find the path of least restrain
When you find yourself in trouble, when sunshine turns into rain
You may look and see a rainbow or you can hide and live in pain
You can simmer in the ashes or you can rise and be the flame
When the going gets tough, the tough keep going
They keep on keeping on
When the water gets rough, the rough keep rowing
They row right on through the storm
When the road of life gets so rocky, you think you canât roll on
Remember youâre a rock star, remember youâre a rock star
And forever and ever and ever and ever and ever you rock on.
Well Iâve been from Humboldt county, to Miami, F-L-A,
From the hills of West Virginy, to the sands of Santa Fe
You know Iâve befriended strangers, and Iâve bestranged some friends
But no matter where Iâm headed, canât seem to see around the bend

Good Nâ Plenty
I would crawl across the driest dessert
I would wade across the widest stream
I would climb the highest mountain ever
Just to taste your sweet lips again
Youâre my good nâ plenty
Tell you why, mama, youâre so heady
Youâre my good nâ plenty
And Iâll take you anywhere you wanna go
Youâve got such yummy gentle kisses
Bring me to such states of blisses
Yes your yummy gentle kisses
Melt like snowflakes on my lips

Serendipity
Every time I find myself thinking about you
I always find you to be thinking about me
Every time I find myself start to doubt you even exist
You come to me, you come to me
Whoa, Serendipity, spinning me in circles round the sun
Whoa, Serendipity, ensures the best is always yet to come
Last time I saw you, I couldnât remember your name
I knew Iâd met you briefly in the Indiana rain
Then, one sweet September morning amongst the dewy pine
I was on my way to somewhere but you were only killing time
Whoa, Serendipity, spinning me in circles round the sun
Whoa, Serendipity, ensures the best is always yet to come
Itâs just ridiculous how serendipitous is
This solitary instance of coincidence
The probability is practically nil you see that this reality
Was ever real for you and real for me
Canât you see that all the shit that happened up to now
Was plainly meant to be then you were sent to me
And when everythingâs been said and everythingâs been done
I guarantee weâve had more than a little fun
Cause when the shit hits the fan in the pretty little city
Weâll blame it all on Serendipity

Welcome to the Luvolution
(Om gate Para gate Para sam gate boddhisvaha)
(Let go Completely let go Really completely let go)
(To the bliss divine)
(Yes yes, Bless bless, Wholeness)
Riding on time is like surfing âpon a wave
It comes, it goes, it ebbs, it flows
Hours turn to days
Days turn into weeks and weeks slip into years
Iâd rather live in love than live in fear
This is the rhyme for a reason
This is the time, you know now is the only season
Go big or go home, câmon and wiggle your bones
Brothers and sisters, I wanna say welcome to the Luvolution
I donât care what color âpon your skin, no no
I donât care if youâre fat or if youâre thin
If you got a little hair on your chinny chin chin
Yes, everybody welcome, just step right in
Left, right, one foot in front the other
Step light upon your sacred mother
Take flight when your heart begin to flutter
Because every girlâs your sister and every boy your brother
