about

I was driving through Venice, CA listening to a basic guitar idea I had recorded on my phone while searching for a place to have some breakfast.
I was singing along and some words came to me. I stopped to write down the verses as not to forget them. I was still missing the chorus.
As I pulled into a side street and looked at the mural on the building, there in front of my windshield was the missing lyric for the chorus.
This is what our inner voice is asking of us all the time. Let’s not forget it.

lyrics

10 - Who Will You Be?

listen careful, listen well
there is something i’d like to tell you
if you care to hear

life is precious, life is free
but capricious like the waves in the sea
if you’re unclear

(without true north)

many voices, many streams
will try to undertow your dreams
if you succumb your fears

so you
who will you be? (3x)
without (your own) true north
without true north

you, who will you be?
ohh
who will you be?
without your true north

without true north
without true north
without your own true north

(repeat verse 1)
