LYRICS

Art can change the world

Art can change the world

Paintbrush in a child's hand

See her universe expand

Color canvas with her love

Sharing joy and creation

Art can change the world

Art can change the world

Young man with his first guitar

Transported to worlds afar

Sharing songs with all the world

Melodies so magical

Art can change the world

I can change the world

Every moment is a chance to give

To someone who's hurting

Who's so deserving

Of a miracle

Art can change the world

You can change the world

Sculpture in refugee camps

Reminds us of our humanness

Come together as one blood

See what we're capable of

Art can change the world

We can change the world

LYRICS TO BOTH SONGS

1) THE LIBERTARIAN

At college he was cruelly isolated  
His ideologies set him alone
Republicans had fun and the best parties
While the alt-left ran the place to feel like home
All the were on the edges
With him in the middle

It was only years later
That he found his tribe
A group who's values
He recognised
They formed a circle

With him in the middle

He's a libertarian
And been set free
He says it loud, he sings it proud
"At last I've found my crowd

I'm a libertarian
And I belong
I'm coming up, I'm coming clean
This is what I believe

Yes to giving all a voice
Yes to more freedom of choice  
Yes to work, deregulation
Yes to peace with other nations

Yes to beauracratic reduction
Yes to the Virtue of Production
Yes autonomy, less authority
Yes to freedom's our priority

I'm a libertarian
The third way
Two parties is no choice
When we all need to have a voice

Libertarians
Become free
I'm coming up, I'm coming clean
This is what I believe

Yes to giving all a voice
Yes to more freedom of choice
Yes to work, deregulation
Yes to peace with other nations

Yes to beauracratic reduction
Yes to the Virtue of Production
Yes autonomy, less authority
Yes to freedom's our priority


2) HELICOPTER PARENTS

Helicopter parents
Bred generation Z to be
Fearful of most everything
Unconsciously

Helicopter parents
Lack basic bravery
Onto unsuspecting offspring they load
Their anxieties

Helicopter parents
The media's to blame
In their rush to ratings they pushed
Kidnapping claims

Helicopter parents
Were arrested if they didn't
Provide a home environment that was
Safety sufficient

The breakfast table
Bolstered the fable
Abduction from strangers
An everpresent danger

Who's bright idea was it
To breed the fear of it
Missing kids
On milk cartons

All of their descendants have
Panic in their veins
At the slightest provocation they feel
Emotional pain

These kids are adolescents at
University
And even Halloween costumes cause them
Anxiety

They're on anti-depressants
Cos the pressure is immense
Free speech needs to be constrained for
Their self-defence

Cos of their suppressants they need
Safety at all costs
They're asking to be treated in the
Way that they grew up

The breakfast table
Bolstered the fable
Abduction from strangers
An everpresent danger

Who's bright idea - was it
To breed the fear - of it
With missing kids
On milk cartons

FEATURED MUSICAL GUESTS: Big Little Lions are the award winning band from Cincinnati, OH and British Columbia, Canada. They were born out of a collaboration that won them a JUNO Award in 2014. Since then they have been cranking out infectious folk pop songs that are jam-packed with emotion and tight harmonies that sound like the product of two people working side-by-side instead of living in different countries.   They have released 5 albums to date, which have garnered them awards and nominations including the CFMA Ensemble of the Year. Their critically acclaimed music has appeared on the CBC’s Top 20 and featured on shows like q and Vinyl Cafe. The duo consists of Paul Otten and Helen Austin, both hugely prolific songwriters - their music has been placed in hundreds of movie trailers, ads, network TV shows and on MTV.

Their live show is quite the spectacle with Paul playing drums, bass and keyboard all while singing lead vocals. Helen, who is no slacker either, sings, plays guitar and foot percussion. They use every limb, and then some, to make two people sound like a full band.

Their music has been dubbed ‘a blissful marriage of new folk and sophisticated pop’, and is packed with emotion and tight harmonies. https://www.biglittlelions.com/

SONG LYRICS:

Don't say a word
You know they lie
The system is blurred
And so we fight
So don't say a word
You know they lie

They pulled it out of you
A story with no truth
over your head
They get up in your face
Tell you you'll be safe
If you say what they said

Don't say a word
You know they lie
The family get hurt
And so we fight

No shred of evidence
Victim of circumstance
Put you away
How do they sleep at night
Knowing it's not right
They know that they made you say

Don't say a word
You know they lie
Their power is earned
And so we fight
No alibi so they say what they like
Confuse, distort and deceive
See it's the law using their last straw
Tell me who they gonna believe

Don't say a  word
You know they lie
What have we learned
You know they lie
Just like a bad dream
You know they lie

Millions have seen
You know they lie
A life locked away
You know they lie

We hope and we pray

LYRICS:

When your own governments against you
War is all you've ever known
Corruption undermines everything
Votes are bought and sold

Armed gunmen drive through the streets
AFSPA says they do that you please
Your own military, is adversarial
Who do you turn to for peace?

There's nothing to say
Only to sing

Hing-min-ashi Eikhoi, Apun ba na yaiphare
Hingminashi Eikhoi

Hingminashi Eikhoi, Mit-kap thok-lo mayam
Hingminashi Eikhoi

Hingminashi Eikhoi, Apun ba na yaiphare
Hingminashi Eikhoi

No one sheds tears for Manipur
Or the forgotten North East of India
Hidden away, people shot every day
Quietly one by one

With bullets fired from Western-built guns
Who profits from peace?
Keep going no one will know
When will the winds of change blow?

There's nothing to say
Only to sing

Hing-min-ashi Eikhoi, Apun ba na yaiphare
Hingminashi Eikhoi

Hingminashi Eikhoi, Mit-kap thok-lo mayam
Hingminashi Eikhoi

Hingminashi Eikhoi, Apun ba na yaiphare
Hingminashi Eikhoi

Lyrics to the song: The Economics of Love

I've done a differential game model
On our partnership
the results are what you'd expect

Based on effort and appeal
Our love it is ideal
Cos we've both so heavily invested

But it's not the sunk cost fallacy
That keeps us together
It's the ongoing returns
And compounded interest

Not the sunk cost fallacy
Why we go on forever
It's a high-yield bond
vs a high-heeled blonde
I've learnt the economics of love

It's growing exponentially
A concave curve
Building on our saving reserve

With no signs of fragility
And maximized utility
Returns are much greater than cost

But it's not the sunk cost fallacy
That keeps us together
It's the ongoing returns
And compounded interest

Not the sunk cost fallacy
Why we go on forever
It's a high-yield bond
vs a high-heeled blonde
I've learnt the economics of love

The coefficient of variation
Of our love affair
Shows mutual benefits
Of which we're both aware

Perceived costs are low
Cost of separation is high
Net benefit's optimized

But it's not the sunk cost fallacy
That keeps us together
It's the ongoing returns
And compounded interest

Not the sunk cost fallacy
Why we go on forever
It's a high-yield bond
vs a high-heeled blonde
I've learnt the economics of love

Lyrics to the songs:

DUMPSTER DIVING

For some time now I've had my eye on you
And to win your heart, I've made my mission to do
It's gonna have to be something special, cos you're widely desired

You're a healthy girl, who loves to cook and eat
And I know the way, that our hearts can meet
Together we'll create the biggest feast you've ever seen

I may be a poor man
But I've got a secret plan
To the banquet of your dreams.... Gonna take you...

Dumpster diving
Put you in the mood honey
Just look at all this food mummy
Dumpster diving

Bring a torch and gloves, and a crate to stand on
And when jump in choose something soft to land on
Then sink into the delights down below

It might look dirty, a bit of a mess
But open the black bags the food's sealed and fresh
All the food the supermarkets aren't allowed to sell

But before we go
There's one thing you need to know
Don't open the meat bag baby

Dumpster diving
Put you in the mood honey
Just look at all this food mummy
Dumpster diving

I know the bakery with same day bread
The cheesecake shop with an amazing spread
I'll take you to the finest spots all over   town

Some say it's risky, but you'll find it fun
If security come, get ready to run
It's not illegal, we're doing the world a favour

We'll finish by the florists, forget a spray
I'll make you a stunning bouquet
To end our perfect day

Dumpster diving
Put you in the mood honey
Just look at all this food mummy
Dumpster diving

Then we'll pack it away in the middle of the night
And   make love by the fridge light

Dumpster diving
Gonna make sweet love tonight
Dumpster diving
Gonna make it sweet tonight
Dumpster diving
Gonna make it sweet tonight
Dumpster diving


COFFEE LOVER

She drinks coffee I drink tea
I'm from England she's from Italy
She the caffeinated lover
That I've discovered

She flits about on her caffeine high
Gets any higher then I think she'll fly
I won't bring her down
I just want to hang around

We've got a deep dark roasted love

Cappuccino, Frappuccino, Macchiato, Espresso
Latte, Frappe, Americano, Cortado

She likes her coffee strong and black
I've learnt to make it like that
I wake her up with the aroma
I'll get my barista diploma

I bring it to her when she's still in bed
We cuddle up under the spread
And as the coffee gets stronger
I know our love goes longer

We've got a deep dark roasted love

Cappuccino, Frappuccino, Macchiato, Espresso
Latte, Frappe, Americano, Cortado

Coffee is the way to my lover's heart
Coffee makes her love me more

Coffee is the way to my lover's heart
Coffee is the thing that she adores

I've got to keep her up there
Keep her in the mood
I'm putting caffeine in her food
To preserve her altitude

Coffee is the way to my lover's heart
Coffee makes her love me more
Coffee is the way to my lover's heart
Coffee is the thing that she adores

LYRICS:

Beware of movements that arise
Painting heaven in the skies
Telling you that they alone have the solution
On the right, on the left
Many roads lead to theft
And they're one of the ways to lose your country

Beware of the new rationale
That boosts popular morale
And schizophrenic logic terrorises
There's a distorted narrative
Where the truth will never live
It's just one of the ways to lose your country

Beware of brazen shamelessness
It's a nasty business    
When people are acting up with immorality
Not humble or humane
Then chaos is soon to rein
And it's one of the ways to lose your country

Beware of appointments and dilutions
And attacks on institutions
When the judiciaries replaced with their own followers
A superfluous state
Will sign and seal fate
Another  of the ways to lose your country

Beware of model citizens
Who are anointed as the ones
To follow and emulate cos they are perfect
While the rest of us are left
To feel second class at best
It's just one of the ways to lose your country

Beware of laughter in the streets
As they mock their new elites
The only self-defence left is their humour
Some say it's just sequential
And at best inconsequential
But it's one of the ways to lose your country

Lyrics to the song that was inspired by the interview:

DOCTORS UNITE

We need the doctors to lead the fight
We need the doctors to combine their might
We need the doctors to lead every campaign

We need the doctors to take this on
We need the doctors to be strong
We need the doctors to stand up in our name

Obesity is killing people
It's an epidemic
Heart disease is deadly
And it's become endemic

Who can end the nightmare
What can stop the pain?
Dieticians? Or marketing campaigns?
No, the remedy is Universal
Doctors unite

Doctors are stressed to breaking
By unnecessary work
Tied down to their keyboards
They are data entry clerks

Who can end the nightmare?
What can stop the pain?
Medical Administrators, this is their terrain
No, the remedy is Universal
Doctors unite

We need the doctors to lead the fight
We need the doctors to combine their might
We need the doctors to lead every campaign

We need the doctors to take this on
We need the doctors to be strong
We need the doctors to stand up in our name

There are so many issues
So many fights
From inequality to poverty
Don't mention gun rights

But if one million doctors
Were together in one lane
Imagine their power
How much they could change

Opioids are overused
A crisis now exists
Doctors serve  as drug dispensers
For big pharma lobbyists

Who can end the nightmare?
What can stop the pain?
Possibly new legislation? Or something in that vein?
No, the remedy is Universal
Doctors unite

We need the doctors to lead the fight
We need the doctors to combine their might
We need the doctors to lead every campaign

We need the doctors to take this on
We need the doctors to be strong
We need the doctors to stand up in our name

We need the doctors to unite
We need the doctors to aim a strike
We need the doctors to get us out of this

The remedy is Universal
Doctors unite

'The voice is the perfect musical instrument'   When Lisa Paglin met Marianna Brilla, Marianna was questioning everything about the voice.  Degrees from prestigious schools, international studies with 27 world-renowned teachers and a Fulbright Award had proven to her that clear criteria for achieving ease, perfect intonation and simple communication through the word in singing was no longer available anywhere.  Despite personal dissatisfaction, she was sought after as a singer and began a successful career. But, determined to rediscover the foundations of fine singing, Marianna left the stage and began challenging fallacies, inaccuracies and misinformation.  Lisa was an accomplished pianist and singer from early childhood. As a young soprano at the Vienna Staatsoper, she drew much praise for her voice and musicality, but confusing vocal instruction, combined with a period of poor health, threw her off-balance.  Longing to return to effortless and joyful singing, Lisa consulted prominent teachers, to no avail.   She joined Marianna, and together they completed over 15 years of painstaking research, resulting in a thorough understanding of voice.   Their methods for voice training and vocal rehabilitation, Vocal Balance™ and Vocal Restoration™, were born. 

Read the Guardian article that inspired me to contact them for singing lessons

LYRICS to the resulting song:

I'd been driving for years

Lost in foreign lands

Searching for answers

Some guiding hands

I'd gone cross country

Even lost the road

I was given directions

By people, far gone themselves

But it was in my darkest hour

That I heard her name

Whispered on the wind

And I was guided to a place

The parking lot was packed

the queue went round the block

But a desperate man won't be denied

I found a window unlocked

I climbed into her chamber

And poured out my heart

Of how I'd lost my voice somewhere

She watched me in the dark

"Your problems obvious

You've forced your tone

Singing should be an effortless thing

Leave well alone"

After an hour together

I felt changes deep inside

And I walked out the door two inches taller

With words to reach the sky

And I could sing sing sing

Such a pure and simple thing

Go within

And let it ring

Yes I could sing

LYRICS

Strip the leaves
And pick out the flowers
Toast the seeds
And harness the flesh
May your cupboard
Be abundant with
Flavours and colours
And the produce you buy
Be exactly what you need
Not too much, Not too little,
Just right, Just right, Just right
No life is linear
All days are adventures
To enjoy or endure
And all food still matures
Without you in mind
One day you want pizza
The next you want pie
It’s kind of easy
If you eat what you buy
Not too much, Not too little,
Just right, Just right, Just right
Not too much, Not too little,
Just right, Just right, Just right

LYRICS:

Everything you see is impermanent
Every last star in the firmament
Everyone you love or you ever met
Every single thought running through your head
Every setting sun, every morning mist
All the works of art and the sciences
Every “out of body” experience
Everything you see is impermanent
Try, try, try not to let it throw you
You know you can find
Meaning in the moment
Meaning in the moment
Every sweet song that you ever heard
Each turn of phrase, every perfect word
Every back corner of consciousness
Every single thing is impermanent
Try, try, try not to let it throw you
You know you can find
Meaning in the moment
Meaning in the moment
No one will remember us
When we return to sand and dust
But there’s one thing that you can trust
When you feel all alone
Meaning in the moment

Martin Kulldorff, PhD, is a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a biostatistician and epidemiologist in the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics, Brigham and Women’s Hospital. His research centers on developing and applying new disease surveillance methods for post-market drug and vaccine safety surveillance and for the early detection and monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks. Dr. Kulldorff has developed new sequential statistical methods for near real-time post-market drug and vaccine safety surveillance, where the purpose is to use weekly or other frequent data feeds to find potential safety problems as soon as possible. He has also developed tree-based scan statistic data mining methods for post-market drug and vaccine safety surveillance. Keeping the outcome definitions flexible, the methods simultaneously evaluates thousands of potential adverse events and groups of related events, adjusting for the multiple testing inherent in such an approach.Another major research area is spatial and spatio-temporal disease surveillance, for which he has developed various scan statistics for disease cluster detection and evaluation; and for the early detection and monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks. These methods are used by most federal and state public health agencies around the world, and by many local public health departments and hospital epidemiologists. Dr. Kulldorff is the developer of the free SaTScan software for geographical and hospital disease surveillance as well as the TreeScan data mining software. He is a co-developer of the R-Sequential package for exact sequential analysis. Dr. Kulldorff received his bachelor’s degree in mathematical statistics from Umeå University in Sweden, and his doctorate in operations research from Cornell University.

Animam Nondum Efflavi (I Have Not Yet Exhaled My Spirit)

[Latin original]:
animam nondum efflavi,
tametsi eam vulneravi;
parce mihi frater,
tam longe meo carne.
quando te deterrui
et quo furtim effugisti?
te quoniam necavi.
mortuis adiunxisti
vel phasmatibus perditis?
redde mihi vitam
quam in noctem abstractam.
[English]:
I have not yet exhaled (flared out) my spirit,
Though I have caused her harm (wounded her) ;
Forgive me, my brother,
So distant (remote) from my flesh.
When did I cause you to flee in terror,
and whither have you quietly (furtively) fled?
For I have murdered (killed) you.
Have you joined the company of [the] depraved phasms (spirits) ?
Return to me the life (vitality)
that was dragged off into the night.
