CONTROL

- Award Winner
- Album Track
It is said that the only thing that we can ever truly control in this World, is Our Own Thoughts and Actions. If every individual had true control over the Mind-Body-Soul connection, we could trigger a vital Paradigm Shift to uplift Humanity from its present course. Amidst global conflicts and destructive behaviours, we share this song CONTROL, a Call-to-Action: Stop the killing and fighting, Heal each other. Simple Words for a Seismic World. We must take control of Our lives and Respect Mother Earth. The challenge of Our Time. Aché

41-DAYZ 41-NIGHTS (v2) featuring David Gilmore
41-DAYZ began as an instrumental expression on ancient objects warehoused in museum basements all around the world, objects that were perhaps once a child's toy or an elder's heirloom. These objects often have numbers written onto them, permanent yet not always pertinent. 41-D was initially created as an emotional response to a series of objects in a Swedish museum that cried out for a new identity beyond the numbers; a yearning for 1 more day, a reminder of TIME; the human conflict btwn living NOW and trying to create a better future for 2MRW!
