Here is a song I and the boy's just wrote. We are trying to get gigs, but thought we would play a benefit for the "bump" to get things moving.

Its a song about the sea. More importantly, it tells of a voyage that many of us took when we left grid.org. The same trip this thread's on. So since we are on the same wavelength, let me sing this song of the sea and of this forum.




___ Southern Crossing ___
(sung to Southern Cross by Crosby, Stills & Nash)
__>>>>>___Click here for sample lyrics___<<<<<__



Got out of town with the fleet for southern islands,
sailing a reach before a followin' sea.



We’re makin' for the trades on the outside,
And the downhill run to World Community Bay.



Off the wind on this heading lie the some great prophets.
We got eighty feet of the waterline. Nicely making way!



In a noisy bar after making port, I hadnt noticed
But on a midnight watch I realized My Christ! We have lost our ways! (think about?)



Think about how so many posts have fallen,
spirits are using me, larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.



I have been around the world, (lookin’?)
Lookin' for that open door! (who knows? she knows!)
That knows love can endure!
And you know it will. Mmmmm.



When you sail in here for the first time,
Ya’ understand now why you came this way.
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small.
But here speaks of a promise, The promise of a coming day!



So maybe sailing into tomorrow, for my dreams are a dyin'.
And my love is an anchor tied to you, Tied with a silver chain!.
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin'
She is all that I have left, And "SPIRIT" is her name! (think about)



Think about how many posts have fallen,
spirits are using us, larger voices callin'.
What heaven brought all of us just will not be forgotten.



We're from all around the world,
Lookin' at this forum door!
Where our love will endure!
And you know we will. Mmmmmm, And you know we will!

[interlude: What you got when grid.org died was a lot more than you can imagine. The worry is that you wont see the spirit of a proud lineage. Those who wish to carry the tradition of that unity, not just of computer power, but of one mine on a cause. To run guppies or old salts aground in shallow mooring (too few forums for the load), you could destroy us without knowing we're ashore. Open up and give some berth before the damage is irreversable.]



So no room for the prophets to be tested.
You undercut their nature and now have nothing to do.
You will survive being bested.
But what others find, will put about and not think about loving you.

In their final post.



Oh, and bump.
