about

I wrote this after a terrorist attack, saddened not only by the event, but also by the rhetoric and posturing that kicked in immediately all over the comms channels.

lyrics

Beautiful Nothing
(B.R.Wood)

Beautiful Nothing
Come set me free
Strip me of all of my concepts
Erase my memory

Rob me of all my conclusions
And all I believe
Vaporise all my opinions
So I may see

Beautiful Nothing
Come make me new
Dismantle my dearest of doctrine
Show me what’s true

Show me my Brothers and Sisters
Not as ideas
Not as the labels and judgments
created in fear

Beautiful Nothing
Come take my hand
Lighten this heavy old burden
of all I understand

I’m so tired of all of this trying to be something
Wanna let it all go
Perhaps I will then re-discover
All I don’t know
All I don’t know…

Like the waves on the ocean
And the man in the moon
And the vast and the glorious spacious and meaningless rich field of nothing
that gave birth to this tune.
