	Story Behind the Song I was orginally commisioned to compose this song for a Korean pop star, whom I felt produced their version of it with much to be desired. The original version was extremely different, and I felt lost it's original spirit. I set out to produce a version of this which I felt fulfilled it's true intent- having nearly completed it, I nearly stumbled ove rthe bass line by accident. I was actually getting ready to record bass for a different song- the bass being prepared, miked and in my lap- the assistant engineer I was working with that day cued up the wrong song and began to let it roll. As the song began to play, I began to improvise on the bass and was struck with a new perspective almost immeadiately. "No, let it roll" I told him, and in one take recorded the bass line you hear here. The original bass line having been much more simple and unremarkable, was scrapped in an instant. In the end I feel it was a much more spirited performance. Lyrics Lost beyond the curtain of a million burning stars I am searching for an ancient wisdom long beyond the point of no return Can it be all that they say? Sailing seas uncertain we have travelled from afar,.. I am seeking out a destination Time and distance are of no concern,... Theres no time to find any better way It makes so little difference in the grand design no matter what they say,. Can you dig what I'm sayin?? Realign yourself and be upon your way before the setting sun retreats and fades away when night divides the day Can You Hear what I'm sayin? This is what Im Sayin- There is somethin' to this business, of day to day existience,.. No matter what I try to realize- I wonder what my senses are denied,.. Can there be more than we see? I am merely contemplating and focusing on reasons why so many lose themselves in cathode rays just to pass the day? Don't decide your pride's derived from someone else You've got to take control lest heart and mind collide Learn to trust yourself Can you hear what Im sayin'? Draw your chart, depart Throw caution to the wind- You know you wanna mark your mark with confidence,.. Can it be it's what I'm sayin'? This is what I'm Sayin'
