Einstein's Street (1996)
Instrumental interlude added in 2022 by
Robert Bruce Buchan.
Many myths about Einstein were presented
during a college segment on "The Creatively Gifted Learning
Disabled" We enjoyed fables such as Einstein flunking math
in grade school, or his inability to distinguish his house
from the others on his street, until he painted his door
red.
So, the supposition here is, what if we went
to Einstein's Street, and painted ALL the doors red. Then
painted his black.
Our lyrical conclusion is, "he never came
back".
Second verse is about how exhausting friends
with mania can be!
The third verse in Einstein has an eerie
real-life prophecy inside of it:
"Sing with me, we'll sing of family
Playing at the train's edge, right by the
track, he never came back."
Approximately twenty years after I wrote
these lyrics, my then-teenage nephew was beside his best
friend when the friend was killed by a train while they
walked along the tracks.
Preaching to the Choir (2022)
The working lyrics for "Preaching to the Choir" began as
"...scrambled eggs! jambalaya!"
As the lyrics came together, so did possible meanings for
the song.
The initial melody was inspired by the late Jeff Beck. So
the song told a bit of our story and the history of music,
how it became a very spiritual experience for many through
the years. Being true to one's self despite the odds is the
takeaway theme, as the like-minded fellowship with each
other, despite criticism.
