SOMEHOW, THIS ALBUM ENDED UP IN THE TOP TEN in CUSCO PURU? The title song to what I feel is my most daring and lyrically interestingly album. An objective look at life. Whatever you want, it's all here. The Zen Buddhist and the intellectual, ride the same pony. There are rich rewards for both. It's up to us to decide which is best for us. Kit Watkins played a great solo on this exciting tune | MP3.com CD: In the Land Where I Come From - buy it!

Story Behind the Song
This song form is a very accessable "ditty" that was a great venue for a rather cryptic existential view, that is presented in an objective and simple way.
Whatever the tragedy or joy, one gets the feeling that "all is as it should be, in the land where i come from."
Lyrics
In The Land Where I Come From
In the land where I come from, many rivers converge,
forming a most fertile delta, that sings for life.
For Pinks, browns reds and whites.
In the Land where I come from gun toting mothers and fathers.
with terrifying smiles they teach
their sons
to run and threaten and play with
guns.
They face one another - piercing the
sky,
with light flashing arrows that dim
our lives.
In the land where I come from, people collect such great power.
They teach the masses to jump through
hoops while newspaper pushers create
their scoops.
Like puppets we run and we dance and
we sing,
while smiling thief barrons pull on
our strings.
In the land where I come from.
In the land where I come from, desperate smiles sneak through sullen faces. And love bears a burden but brings hope to the races - and
In the land where I come from, humor is such a treasure.
That brings love, and strength that lasts forever.
And in the land where I come from, we decorate ourselves with brilliant metals and plumage, as magnets in unconscious attraction.
Like the birds of the far African Continent, that adjust feathers,attracting that part of themselves dormant in every other bird.
And in the land where I come from, tears and smiles walk hand in hand radiating a mystery for the ZEN BENT and a lack of boredom for the intellectuals.
And in the land where I come from, one gets the feeling of someone, somewhere, somehow looking over it all with a tear and a smile knowing that: ALL IS WELL IN LAND WHERE... (repeat)
