Winchester 7: For this song, I wanted to go for a Pixies-style surf rock sound. I wrote it while thinking of Buddhism's Dharma Wheel and the experience of sitting by the ocean. I then recorded a backwards uke solo in homage to George Harrison.

In making the video, I incorporated my 2017 solar eclipse footage to support the cyclical theme and also added a chromawarp filter to the featured dancer to visually complement the backwards solo.

lyrics

Where the ocean waves
reach the shore
they drift away
and leave me wanting more

they carry my cares
far out to sea
until they become
distant memories

They roll on
far away from here
for the ocean knows no fear
whatever your troubles
baby, you know, it rolls on

In quiet moments
at dawn's first light
my hope for the world
shines on despite
whatever may come
throughout the day
and whatever may
threaten disarray

So, roll on
onto the setting sun
on when the day is done
whatever your troubles
baby, you know, it rolls on

...and some day
some day you may find
your trouble will subside
to be replaced by piece of mind

Roll on
roll on without an end
forever to transcend
whatever your troubles
baby, you know, it rolls on
it rolls on
