about

Bodhisattvas inhabit blues territory they vow not to leave this transitory world of suffering until all embodied beings who are bound to a wheel of Samsara - very much like the one spun by Fortuna of Boethius- are relieved of their troubles.

lyrics

Oh Lordy, Lord
I lay my sorrows down
I surrender my blues
in the chapel of of cathartic sound
yes, I seek transformation
baptized in the river of immanent vibration

Tell all my Buddies,
tell all my Friends in town
to spread the news
that if compassion is to be found
delve within the worlds creation
that path you ‘ll walk towards liberation
Brothers and Sisters
let the message resound
and wash the blues from your faces and your frowns
the tears of this world’s situations
I offer up for each and all’s salvation
