about

There are some showcase songs on this one...
"Stand in the way and ask for the old truths," said the prophet Jeremiah.
Worthwhile words in the dry & barren land of this day & age.

Spiritually starved, it seems we are prone to trade away the definitive virtues of trust & compassion for a daily and personal "politic" of fear, blame and reprisal.
I think we can do better than that.

Pray, resist & encourage; Love your life. Love your loved ones;
Lead by example, by word & by deed.
Love wins,
bill

lyrics

IN THE NEW DARK AGE (THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS FALL IN LOVE) words & music: bill mallonee c. BMI 2017

Bring all the things....that you bought
Bring all those things...that you lost
Bring her that gold ring...bring her the dross

chorus:
In the new dark age when you're waiting for a light from above
in the new dark age....best thing you can do is fall in love

Bring all of your poems bring all of your passion
all those discarded notes and the melodies just not happen-ing
Bring everything you'd like to forget & those parts of you not even born yet

Bring all of those ghosts from your empty home
Kill all of your fears; crash all of your drones
beat your swords into plowshares...and she'll take you for her own
