Resonate XIX: Home by Phillip Phillips

Here is another powerfully resonating song that I say last night.  This is the kind of music that people are going to need to lift them up from this paradigm collapsing.  This is the opposite consciousness to the over produced, nonsensical, meaningless, consumeristic, corporate music that inundates our culture. (Yes I get it that this was from American Idol…)  Meaningful lyrics, talented singer without a a marketing image branded all over the place.  This song needs another 2 or 3 verses, but it just really struck me last night.  Enjoy.

Hold on
To me as we go
As we roll down
This unfamiliar road
Although this wave
Is stringing us along
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m gonna make this place your home
Settle Down
It’ll all be clear
Don’t pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost you can always get found
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m gonna make this place your home

Even this remake of Billy Joel’s Moving Out made me think about the lyrics in an era of dying money, arguing with crazy minds, finding purpose and “moving out” of the paradigm…

Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin his pennies for some day
Mama Leone left a note on the door
She said “Sonny move out to the country”
Ah but working too hard can give you
A heart attack, ack, ack, ack, ack, ack
You ought-a know by now
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
Is that all you get for your money?

And it seems such a waste of time
If that’s what it’s all about
Mama if that’s movin up then I’m movin out
Mm I’ movin out, mm oo oo uh huh mm hm

You should never argue with a crazy mi mi mi mi mi mind
You ought-a know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money
And if that’s what you have in mind
Then that’s what you’re all about
Good luck movin up cause I’m movin out
Mm I’m movin out Mm oo oo uh huh mm hm

Sergeant O’Leary is walkin the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatores
Down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
And he’s tradin in his Chevy for
A Cadillac ack ack ack ack ack
You ought-a know by now
If he can’t drive with a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders
(repeat chorus)
