about

LIBRA

What is my soul-predicament?
You have reached a stage in the evolutionary journey of your soul where you must cultivate the serenity and equilibrium needed to walk the Middle Path.

Tell me the honest truth
Only through the window of Beauty, can you see the Garden. Only down the path of the Artist and the Friend, can you enter the Garden.

What is my heroic archetype?
The Lover; The Diplomat; The Artist.

Describe my most effective evolutionary strategy
Calm and center yourself by abandoning fanaticism in all things and by immersing your senses in aesthetic rapture.

Give me an affirmation
I walk in beauty.

What’s in my toolbox?
Into this physical world, you bring a tolerance for paradox, a responsiveness to beauty, and empathy for people different from yourself.

What burden do I bear for my community?
You bear the weight of seeing the gracelessness to which we have grown accustomed.

Tell me of my Shadow
Co-dependency. Insincerity. Inability to accept conflict. Laziness and indecision. Obsession with pleasure and comfort.

LYRICS

The first thing she said was so clear, that we're all seeking harmony here
from the man on the street with the cane to the king on the hill

If you listen to the signs of the sage
together we're coming of age
the Buddha and Gandhi and John, they all come along

And we're all on the edge of the earth
and we're facing the other side's worth
we're turning around

There are those who will lead us to war
because they say we're not safe anymore
and then bullets fly, people die, and our spirits are sore

So I'm trying to balance the fall
cause I know that if you listen to them all
that there are two sides to every coin, but the coin is the same

There are those who will say it's too late
with mountains dividing our fates
it's easy to give up when you can't touch the wall

But the wall is inside of our heart
you know we're not so far apart
let me hear your cries, we all got it hard

And the ones that we thought we should hate
standing there pulling our weight
they're all just looking for love to set themselves free

When it all comes to pass in the end
then you know you can lean on a friend
an ally, a lover, your star, to bring you along

And the last thing that's so crystal clear
we're all seeking harmony here
from the man on the street with the cane to the king on the hill

about

Chemystry Set image

Chemystry Set San Francisco, California

Musicianship tight as an atom, music wild and roaming as the imagination of the unknown. It’s like everything and nothing I’ve ever heard, a screaming reminder that rock is rebellion and must be reinvented each time it’s played, or else it’s just pop.
