Original Music by Dan Tilley
Mountain and Mesa Music
Selected Song Lyrics
As a singer/songwriter, it was alwasy important to me to have a copy of the lyrics befor performing copy tunes live. Not only was it essential for the performance, but it also gave me insight into the emotional meaning the author intended. I've chosen exerpts from the CD Absolutely Hutely: Dan and Hutely Meet the Minoans to share with you. These are special verses that reflect the true meaning of the songs for me.
Cretan Piraeus Mountain Breeze
"Homer's flaming sword carves out the wrtten word "Oh mountain breeze
Minoan summer dreams Calling to the trees
Light Apollo's expanding world... Telling a story
Of nature's glory...
Artists display frescoes joyfully
Paintings from another time Oh mountain breeze
Reveal the warm and the kind Life's in your world
Become eyes for the blind..." Like a fresh new love
And the face of a child..."
Wisp of the Wind
(Athena's Song) Artists
"She is the Wisp of the Wind "Wake up to rain and laughter
Among the olive trees Energy beaming from within
Most ancient of goddesses... Every situation victimizes disaster
Coffee, toast, potato skin...
Wise be the owl in her eyes
Though fecundity chimes The ice it slowly freezes
Fertility fruitful and productive..." Through the bath house frigid breezes..."
Earliest Morning Child's Idea of Hope
"In the earliest morning ..."Recognizing love
One spoke of a new found love Recognizing love
Soothing dew on a wanting leaf Longing from light above
Caressind each other in disbelief
A child's love is waiting
But then the Sun For a chance to express
And all its awarness An idea of hope
Exposed a love to surrounding trees You know exists in all of us
Two as one dreams ...Now we have some answers
Stand the real test..." Thoughts for us to share
A love embrace for our heart's sake
A new child for us to care..."
Color the Depths Sleepless Moon
*Memories that are like "...I searched for reasons
Pictures inside Dialouges we could share
Color the depths of the soul... Perhaps in the new day
Change of season in the air...
While the ceremony proceeds Felt a hand on my chest
For ageless love Even though she was so far away
The goddess unviels hear heart..." No my luna friend wasn't tired
Sleepless moon night became day"
Anatolian Sun Let the Music Play
"He lept from the shinning cliffs "...Yes we're born to find new memories
Safeguarding purity and earth Each and every day, to rejoice in her energy
Disguised as the high-noon star And let the music play...
Dolphis guide his birth... When you view the sky does it wlink in reply?
Or heed wish of darkness
Eagle sing in harmony No man owns a jewel that can fill his shoes
As the python fades away With flesh and blood in love's care
Delos gave up the bow You know can be found anywhere"
Apollo curls in every wave..."
Back To the Land
"As a child I decided one day
The good earth upon me to stay
No matter how dirty, no matter how gray
Such a wonderful feeling that day
And it's back to the land
Take your loved one in hand
Throw those worries to the wind
Peace of mind awaits you in the end...
The Sun, the Earth, and the soil
Mixed together with love and out toil
The future will grow in the garden
So excuse me, I beg your pardon..."
My Arms Welcome You
"...An old friend calls
He says I haven't changed
Two old souls
Turn the page
A head in the future
A foot in the past
Ours was such
That woud last..."
