Spirit Wind
This song has no overt message. It really is more of a "sound" song, where the words just give melody to the musical ideas.
A great part of my spiritual search took place when I was a hippie living in the Hawaiian Islands, and I am always looking for places where I can inject some of those memories. The line "warmer than the breezes in Hawaii wind" was one of these opportunities. Of course, the wind is a type of the Holy Spirit, and the intent of the song is to draw the listener into the rest of the album. But again, there are a few lyrics I've written which really more serve the musical ideas, and this is one of them. I really like the unusual third chord change in the verses of this song which is really the departure which makes the music so haunting. |
Interestingly, this song is one of the most requested songs in my current concert appearances.
