About this Song: (lyrics below)

This just came in last night… and reflects the new direction that I’m taking in my  current 90 day transformation challenge. I’m exploring the idea of calling myself “The Singing Hypnotist” in order to more easily communicate the fact that my music and my hypnosis work are not separate “things” but an integrated, authentic, holistic way of communicating with people who are interested in transforming their lives, their work, their relationships, their health, their play, their EVERYTHING… We are here for a short time, let’s truly live and explore the wonder of creating our own reality!

How To Use This Song: simply play it and go about doing what you normally do when listening to your music or podcasts… Then notice how you feel as you go through your day. The intention is to replace any limiting or negative self talk with empowering, transformational ideas that get stuck in your head. “Ear worms” is the slang term for the process in your brain governed by the rostro medial pre frontal cortex… the place where songs get “stuck”. Put this on repeat. Let it become your mantra today or whenever you most need to internalize the message it delivers.

Thanks for paying attention and listening…  I will see YOU on the inside!

– Mark

P.S. As with all my trance induced, new songs, this one is still malleable and forming… so please be unattached to the “form”. It may change in the next few days or weeks as I play with it… as I change, as YOU change… stay tuned for more transformation tunes… there are 3 more of these still in the camera that I haven’t even had a chance to listen to yet…

Be Somebody

Song #529 | 1/10/17 | Video: Youtube | Audio: Soundcloud

Sometimes you got to be nobody before you can be somebody
Sometimes you got to be nobody before you can be somebody
Sometimes you got to be nobody before you can be somebody else
Sometimes you got to be nobody before you can be someone who you want to be

Yeah, yeah
Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be? Who do you want to be?

Sometimes you got to be nobody before you can be somebody
Sometimes you got to be nobody before you can be somebody
Sometimes you got to be nobody before you can be somebody else
Every one goes through their own… pain… on the way to finding out…

Who you really want to be
Who you really want to be
Who you really want to be
Who do you want to be?

Sometimes you got to be nobody so you can be somebody
Sometimes you got to be no body before you can be some body

Somebody, Somebody, somebody, somebody, some body, some body, some body…
Some body, some body, some body… some body…

Sometimes you got to be nobody before you can be somebody
Sometimes you got to be no body before you can be some body

And I want to be who I want to be…
I want to be who I wanna be…

Don’t you want to be who you want to be?

Yes we all are wanna be’s
Yes we all are wanna be’s
Yes we all are wanna be’s
Yes we all are wanna be’s

You can be who you want to be
You can be who you really wanna be

Who you really want to be…
Who you really want to be….
Who you really want to be…
Who you really want to be…
Who you really want to be…

Let’s be who we want to be…
Let’s be who we want to be…
Let’s be who we want to be…

I do.’ I loved the song and listened to it 3 times.

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)

Merril

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy
