  1. Pilgrim

From the recording Captured Fragments

I have recently been enjoying a podcast called This Jungian Life. I am not a rabid listener but the episodes I do hit I find interesting enough to stay tuned in. Three good friends, who are Jungian analysts, talk about the world and its many issues as seen through the lens of Carl Jung. I am sure this is not for everyone but it hits the spot for me. They also break down a dream of the day at the end of the show which is always entertaining.

Why do I bring this up? Well, my song lyrics often tend toward a sort of introspective explorative flavoring. My soon to be released song called Pilgrim is no exception. In addition to the word Pilgrim, the words Shaman, Crone and Buddha turn up which seem to conjure up archetypes that resonate with me. Figures that embody strength, resilience and wisdom. I reference winding roads and tides as well in the song that perhaps point to means we move towards or against life's gifts, challenges and hidden truths with grace and authenticity. I have said this often before, I never really know what my lyrics are about, but this description feels right for me today.

Just finished the cover art for Pilgrim and it is provided in this blog photo. I hope to officially release this song around 16 June 23 to streaming services.

Happy Memorial Day all.

Lyrics

Pilgrim
By David Husted

V1
And there's a moment of reason you see
Hidden behind days and days of misery
PreVs
V2
A kind of freedom that's greeting pain
There's a season to face that long, long tale of love and hate
Ch
Pilgrim
you still crawling on your belly?
Soothing Moon hold back the tide tonight
Post Ch
PreVs
V3
Still Dancing on tea Leaves I see
Going home with that laughing Buddha remembering
Aiming high beyond that saffron robe there billowing
Broken open, the road twists, that's when the Crone and the Shaman give
Ch
Pilgrim
you still crawling on your belly?
Soothing Moon hold back the tide tonight
Post Ch

Ch
Pilgrim
you still crawling on your belly?
Soothing Moon hold back the tide tonight
