This is a song of self reflection and trying to make sense of where one comes from. The title is a play on an old familiar phrase. The actual meaning is positive, rather than negative. It's the recognition of being the offspring of someone or something Very Clever and larger than ourselves. |

A journey of self-discovery, letting go of the old, making way for the new. Becoming more flexible and open, less resistant. Set in a metaphor of Myth where humans interacted with angels and God on a regular basis. In Psychology we would call this "transformation." Same thing, psychology borrows from Myth all the time.
Mythical stories were the therapy of their time, before we had a written history. Oral traditions allowed for the contiuation of appropriate life change types of stories. That's how important events and/or growth experiences were explained and handed to the next generation. |

This song is about slowing down and noticing things - smell the roses, smell the coffee etc. It's about noticing the small but important things that happen everyday. While we're waiting for that big lottery win, there are miracles going on all around us. I used Reggae, because it's slow and easy going and fits the theme of "taking notice." |
