carrefoure de'labre
After midnight
Carrefour de l’arbre
After midnight
Carrefour de l’arbre
Footsteps chase oval moon reflections
Across rain-soaked cobblestones
I snap my fingers to the rhythm
Of wooden shutters singin songs
Espresso drifting through the cool air
Ignites the hunger in my soul
Gas lamps flicker gold in silence
Like ancient stories being told
After midnight
I take long walks down carrefour de l'arbre
Moonlight drippin off the stones beneath my feet
I take long walks down carrefour de l'arbre
Lost somewhere between rhythmic echos and the street
Walk with me
After midnight
Brassy saxophones through alley windows
Pour like honey through the night
I close my eyes palms to the heavens
Feel the city breathing life
Black cats tap dance past my footsteps
Disappear where shadows hide
A shapely cherry glides beside me
With polaris in her eyes
Breathless pause
The whole world slows
Soft fingertips pull me closer
As midnight melts into your soul
Ooooooh
Streetlight halos frame your silhouette
Smoke billowing upwards beneath the stars
Chanel #5 floats along the afternoon breeze
As vespas sleep beside the bars
No words spoken
None required
Christian louboutin's tapping on cobblestones become a choir
After midnight
I take long walks down carrefour de l'arbre
Moonlight drippin off the stones beneath my feet
I take long walks down carrefour de l'arbre
Lost somewhere between rhythmic echos and the street
Carrefour
After midnight
Cafés dressed in raspberry velvet
Pastries lined beneath warm light
Croissant aromas surf the breeze
Tempting restless souls tonight
Balcony whispers paint the backdrop
Highways of cigarette smoke drift in streams
I look beyond the skyline of clay rooftops
Toward constellations made of dreams
Your lips
Your tongue
I begin to paint
I sink into the streets
I sink into the streets
After midnight
The city breathes different
Every shadow got a story
Every window got a memory

I take long walks down carrefour de l'arbre
After midnight
I take long walks down carrefour de l'arbre
Where the rhythm kisses morning light
I take long walks down carrefour de l'arbre
Lost somewhere between your touch and city lights
I take long walks down carrefour de l'arbre
After midnight
Ooooooh
After midnight

infinite vibration
Yeah…
Infinite vibration…
One breath…
One sound…
One mind…
Leaning into the afternoon sea breeze
Arms free, prone aside, soul at ease
I rest anxious memories on observation
Watching shallow waves move in meditation
Sapphire sky capsized across the tide
Blue above, blue below, truth inside
The sparrow sings in syllables of light
And I pause between the verses of flight
Eucalyptus laughing in jubilation
Butterflies rise in cloud formation
Insects buzz with purpose and placement
Every small life holds sacred arrangement
Cat tails brush where the waters bend
Painting soft strokes where horizons blend
Everything moves with quiet persuasion
One world breathing infinite vibration
I hear one sound
One breath through creation
One light, one soul
Infinite vibration
I feel one pulse
One sacred translation
One life, one love
Infinite vibration
Pausing, listening, calm rhythm conducts
Mountain lines in the distance interrupt
My thoughts dissolve where the skyline stands
Time slips softly through open hands
Warm radiance spreads through my chest
Tenderness whispers, “be still, rest”
Leaves fall like silk through afternoon air
Each one a prayer from branches bare
Dragonflies hover like questions in motion
Over still waters of inward devotion
Deep within, I hear what they ask
Is the soul the face or merely the mask?
I close my eyes and drift in concert
Closer to one, away from hurt
Clear and true, the spirit is sustained
Where sunlight heals what sorrow named
I hear one sound
One breath through creation
One light, one soul
Infinite vibration
I feel one pulse
One sacred translation
One life, one love
Infinite vibration
Exhale deeper through time
Spiral back through the mind
Past the weight, past frustration
On a wave of rhythmic sensation
Long grass bows to the earth
Stillness reveals rebirth
One voice in quiet rotation
Infinite vibration
Escaping this sullen black hole within
I ride the rhythm where breath begins
Further, deeper, beyond separation
Closer toward unified perfection
The sound of grass, the hush of trees
The sacred math inside the breeze
The breath between molecules speaks
Not loud, not proud, but complete
A colorful image formed from sound
A truth too deep to be written down
No crown, no throne, no domination
Just soul aligned with creation
And in that moment I finally see
The world outside is inside me
An everlasting image, pure foundation
The face of infinite vibration
I hear one sound
One breath through creation
One light, one soul
Infinite vibration
I feel one pulse
One sacred translation
One life, one love
Infinite vibration
One breath…
One sound…
One creation…
Infinite vibration…
It paints a picture of someone focusing inward and achieving the ability to sense and feel all vibration within the universe and actually *feel* connected to everything.

lunar destiny
I chase the sun into the sea
Watchillie
Up high I chase the sun into the sea
Wading through echoes of star-light
I am the shadow
Cradling the dawn
Kissed by memories of silent beginnings
Admiring the color prism of solar winds
Warm frigid poles glow in radiant harmony
A victim of solar expansion
I steer the course
Birthed from the instant
Yet I exist to infinity
Because I watch
I see
All wisdom timelessly
A shining light
Abiding presence
Faithfully
Trustworthy
I shine for all to see
I am the rock
Your guiding lunar destiny
Formed by the thought
I create the tide
Rising rhythmic waves in synchrony
With Halley's comet’s tail
Protector of night
Surrounded by an army of fallen stars
I reflect the sun’s wisdom
Upon the innocent
The frail
Though freed to luminate unrestricted
I remain captured by pre-destiny
A path pre-laid
Unshakable
Unbreakable
My will
Your wish
My journey remains
Protector and keeper
Because I watch
I see
All wisdom timelessly
A shining light
Abiding presence
Faithfully
Trustworthy
I shine for all to see
I am the rock
Your guiding lunar destiny
Shine
Glow
Shine
Recognize and see
Me free
Your destiny
A grain sifted through cosmic plasma
Respect earned through power
And surviving meteor showers
A call to arms summons me
As I remain in pride
Across the sky toward the horizon
In tomorrow’s hands
I’m here
Exalted high
Because I watch
I see
All wisdom timelessly
A shining light
Abiding presence
Faithfully
Trustworthy
I shine for all to see
I am the rock
Your guiding lunar destiny
I’m here
To rise
Advise
It’s why I came
Always remain
I’m here
I see you
But I’m here
Always watching over
Watchillie

The lunar journey represents aspiration.
The song examines the tension between comfort and discovery, asking what humanity gains by pursuing the unknown.
Its deeper message is that exploration changes the explorer as much as the destination itself.

mars
We were born
beneath one sky
But made
to chase another
I watched you staring upward through the city light
Dreaming of worlds that waited somewhere in the night
Small in your bodies but giant inside your minds
Building a future one failure at a time
You learned from fire, from pressure, from gravity
You turned your fear into fuel and reality
Now every heartbeat is calling you to depart
Leaving the ground but carrying home in your heart
Every breath you take out there is earned
Every bridge you cross was once unlearned
When the dark is deep and hope feels far
Thats when you remember who you are
Journey through stars
Carry our scars
Far from the world we know
Into the red
Facing the dead
Stand where no one has stood
We are alive
We will survive
No sky can bury our soul
Journey to Mars
Bring the impossible home
The cold will test you, the silence cuts like steel
The miles between you and Earth become too real
Storms in the distance, dust in the atmosphere
Still you keep moving because you were made for here
No perfect pathway, no promise you return
Only the courage inside you that had to burn
You leave behind every version that feared the fall
Out in the void you discover the strength of all
When systems fail and the signal breaks
When doubt is loud and your whole frame shakes
When all you have is the will to move
Thats when the human in you breaks through
Journey through stars
Carry our scars
Far from the world we know
Into the red
Facing the dead
Stand where no one has stood
We are alive
We will survive
No sky can bury our soul
Journey to Mars
Bring the impossible home
I never made the mountain
for you to stay below it
I never made the ocean
for you to fear the motion
I gave you wonder
So you would move
I gave you distance
So you would prove
You were born to rise
Born to climb
Born to leave the edge of time
You were born to break the line
Touch the dust
And make the stars align
Journey through stars
Carry our scars
Far from the world we know
Into the red
Raise up your head
Stand where no one has stood
We are alive
We will survive
No sky can bury our soul
Journey to Mars
Bring the impossible home
One small world
One long road
One more horizon
to go
The song reflects humanity's relentless drive to explore new frontiers.
Mars functions as a symbol of possibility.
The planet represents challenges that seem impossible until someone attempts them.

Not obscene
Clear of mind

Birthed dissidence and contempt

Sun is rising
I’m trying, I’m dying to move
Trying to step
In some brand new shoes
Echoes of malfeasance
Reverberate

Constricting capillaries

It’s going down
Coming back around

Coming back around
Knees to the ground
I hear the sound
Same old wheel
Same old town
But I breathe
Then I choose
I can’t erase it
But I can move

The destination known
Not obscene
Clear of mind
Clear intent

Birthed dissidence and contempt
But now I make anew
Keep it from coming back around again
I’ve seen the proof
Keep it from coming back around again
Choose thought
Not aloof
Keep it from coming back around again
A new dawn begins
As I’m stepping off the wheel to win

They say what’s past is prologue
They say people never change
But closed-minded stagnation
Is the superhighway to depression
Take charge
Move the rook
Reset
Make a new session
Watchillie

shipwrecked
In the still quiet of the ocean deep
Disoriented as time slows
All sense of direction fades to sound
Violently tossed end over end
Air pockets bubble upward
It’s me they uplift
Surround enshroud
Suffocating
I feel my soul dissipate
Preparing to dance among the stars
Surrounded by the viscous life-force essence
Pressure within
Labors the question
Of my seemingly insignificant existence
As it’s here I search for clarity
In the amniotic fluid of life
She rocks me
She rolls me
Caressing
She owns me
Whistling to her I beg
Surviving
Shipwrecked
Ooooooh
Shipwrecked
Ooooooh
Rise up beneath the blanket
Of infinite sky
A buoy I sway
Struggling to breathe
My life
Rests on the shoulder of the moment
Surrounded by the deafening crash
Of oceanic waves
Wading through this deep oily pit
Of self doubt
Decades of memories replay through my mind
Focusing inward
Perseverant attempts
To expand
Take in a new breath
A new beginning
A new second chance
As it’s here I search for clarity
In the amniotic fluid of life
She rocks me
She rolls me
Caressing
She owns me
Whistling to her I beg
Surviving
Shipwrecked
She rocks me
Rolls me
Moves me
Woos me
Soothes me
Bathes me
Sustains me
Saves me
Acceptance fills lungs with new life
New energy
Alas
I have surfaced to the sun
Her warm comforting smile
I float with hope and purpose
Surrendering hopelessness
Breathing resilience
My soul resonates
Never
Never say die
She rocks me
She rolls me
Caressing
She owns me
Whistling to her I beg
Surviving
Shipwrecked
No longer enslaved
To self persecution
No longer hopelessly pleading
The deities for sanctity
As I em-plore
Surrounded by the songs of dolphins
Protectors
Leading and guiding me home
Guiding me
Along the path of seagulls
Ashore
I’ve survived
Watchillie
The song reflects on resilience during periods of emotional or personal upheaval.

The 59
In the crisp darkness of twelve
I cup tears from a saddened moon
Preparing to depart
The sound of raindrops
Felt
Stroking me as I sink
Falling faster
Into the shadow of stagnation
A breath halted
As time stops at the fifty-nine
It seems the more I try to fly
I can’t make it past the nine
As I’m still waiting
It keeps me laden
It seems the more I fight to move
The more I have to prove
As I’m still waiting
For the hand to come around again
Wandering through time
The road blurs from memories
Passing before wishful eyes
Riding in the direction of salvation
As the road zig-zags and curves
Progress lost amidst the foggy blur
The origin sign
Seen in a sigh
As I am still trapped
Once again
Back at the fifty-nine
It seems the more I try to fly
I can’t make it past the nine
As I’m still waiting
It keeps me laden
It seems the more I fight to move
The more I have to prove
As I’m still waiting
For the hand to come around again
Understanding that it’s relative
Time
Understanding truth
The origin
Can satiate
But the battle rages on
The mind and emotions
Who’s the victor
Who’s the chosen
I am conflicted by restriction
As the solution becomes addiction
To escape
The nine into infinity
It seems the more I try to fly
I can’t make it past the nine
As I’m still waiting
It keeps me laden
It seems the more I fight to move
The more I have to prove
As I’m still waiting
For the hand to come around again
Chained before the emperor
Tears wept
Lost in vain
The coliseum cheers for death
Hungry for a bloodbath
Strewn far and wide
Hands fall
As I see eyes in the sickle
Dreams stolen
The true wrong
The true crime
As here a bliss is lost
In the moment
Kept
Shackled before darkness
As the quill remains still
The next chapter unwritten
As the hand moves not
At the fifty-nine
It seems the more I try to fly
I can’t make it past the nine
As I’m still waiting
It keeps me laden
It seems the more I fight to move
The more I have to prove
As I’m still waiting
For the hand to come around again
Still waiting
Still breathing
Still here

willow
Yeah
Watchillie
Slow down
Lying beneath the willow tree
Sunlight dripping all over me
Over me
Cirrus clouds rolling peacefully
Soft winds speaking in poetry
This tale revealed
A life evolving
Mind revolving
Soul dissolving
Into the union
Sky and ocean
Thoughts drift slow in floating motion
Morning breath thick with passion
Calla lilies brushing past me
Past me
Old fears fading slowly backward
Warmth finally relaxing
Release yourself
Let it rise
Follow monarch wings up high
Up high
Release yourself
Let it breathe
Drift into tranquility
No sorrow here
No spiraling down
No darkness pulling beneath the ground
Just reflection
Soft connection
A quiet form of resurrection
Exhale now
Past present future
Everything moving through ya
Through ya
Nerves electrified by inspiration
Feather quill across sensation
Memories stitched like woven fabric
Pain transforming into creation
Release release
One breath
One voice
One moment suspended in choice
Listen
Long grass swaying
Earth vibrating
Every living thing relating
Relating
I release
I surrender
I allow
Release yourself
Let it rise
Follow monarch wings up high
Higher
Release yourself
Let it breathe
Drift into tranquility
Felt in the rising warmth
I realize
Tomorrow already lives inside us
Inside us
Release yourself

Willow was inspired by resilience, grace, and adaptability.
Like the willow tree that bends without breaking, the song reflects on strength expressed through flexibility rather than force.
The nebula represents both creation and possibility.
Stars emerge from cosmic clouds just as ideas, identities, and futures emerge from uncertain
The willow serves as a symbol of emotional resilience.
The song explores how true strength often involves adaptation rather than resistance.
Rather than fighting every storm, the willow survives by learning how to move with it.
The deeper lesson is that endurance is often rooted in wisdom rather than power.
The song suggests that what appears chaotic may actually contain the seeds of transformation.
PLAY SAMPLE
riding the tide
Riding the Tide was inspired by one quiet morning while listening to birds outside my window. In that moment I imagined standing alone on a warm black sand beach before sunrise, surrounded by the rhythm of the ocean, the morning breeze, and the effortless songs of seabirds. As the waves erased footprints from the shore, I was reminded how temporary our worries can be when viewed against something far greater than ourselves.
The song became a meditation on presence. Rather than searching for freedom somewhere in the future, it explores the idea that freedom can be found by fully inhabiting the present moment. The ocean, the wind, the sand, and the rising sun become symbols of renewal, gently washing away fear, regret, and the emotional weight we often carry through life.
One line became the philosophical center of the song:
"I am only one breath beneath forever."
To me, this represents humility and perspective. Human life is brief, yet every breath connects us to something timeless. The recurring image of riding the tide is not about surrendering to defeat, but trusting the natural currents of life instead of constantly struggling against them.
As the song progresses, the relationship between the male and female voices evolves. The male voice reflects the individual experience, while the female harmonies gradually become an extension of nature itself, almost as if the ocean, the breeze, and the earth are quietly responding. By the outro, the human voice begins to fade while nature remains, suggesting that the world continues its timeless rhythm long after our own thoughts have become still.
The closing declaration, "I'm no longer just a man," is not about becoming something greater than human. Instead, it expresses the realization that we are part of something infinitely larger than ourselves. In that awareness, the boundaries between self and nature begin to dissolve, leaving only gratitude, stillness, and the quiet freedom that has been present all along.
Riding the Tide is an invitation to pause, breathe deeply, and remember that sometimes the greatest healing doesn't come from changing the world around us, but from allowing ourselves to become fully present within it.

Many songs focus on journeys rather than destinations.
Physical journeys become emotional journeys.
Historical journeys become personal journeys.
The album suggests that understanding often emerges not from arriving somewhere new but from learning to see familiar things differently.
At its heart, Sebayt Sessions is about learning from life itself.
