about

I wrote this one when I was camping in the Teanaway with my friend Brady. It was a full moon and I was playing my ukulele. I turned to face the moon head on and when I stared up into it, I could feel it staring back into me. I was thinking about my grandma who had just passed away and about how we are all standing on the shoulders of our ancestors. None of us would be here today without generations of people we will never meet making enormous sacrifices. I was thinking about how the face of the full moon sort of looks like a yin yang symbol and how all of life is a balancing act. This was one of those songs that just sort of erupted out of me fully formed. It's about coming to terms with your past, acknowledging our ancestors and recognizing the sacred beauty in opposing forces.

lyrics

Square The Circle
-------------------------------------------

Square yourself with the moon
Stare into the glowing eye of the goddess who watches over you
while you sleep
Observe the balance inherent in nature
The light and dark divinity
There is solace in shedding your anger
So light the spark and sin at ease
Shout your stark obscenities
and square yourself with the moon

The moon is rising
The tide is turning
It's time to meet the real you
It's time to see what you can do
Just square your self with the moon

Paying homage to those who came before
I am honored to be standing on your shoulders
The future is a book I haven't read
But if I could I'd skip right to the end

Square yourself with the moon
