about

A song for one of the seafarers. Based loosely upon an old Sufi theme, with a reference to the teachings of Zen master Huang Po as well. Recorded December 2017. Produced and mixed by Tim Kazmarek and Cheb Abdessalam Ichraqi. Vocals, 12-string acoustic and electric lap steel by Cheb Abdessalam Ichraqi.

lyrics

one hand floating down the Ganges
and one hand stretched up to the sky
oh how many sands of the Ganges
oh should have gone by sea
was it found at the beginning?
or, was it found in the middle, or after?
think I know the answer
should have gone by sea
