About this song:
I started recording this one back in APRIL… and now it’s JUNE…
Am I a “slacker?”
Maybe. But Keep in mind it’s a song about FLOW (ALLOWING rather than FORCING :o).
I’ve also been a bit busy with planting, chipping brush, and getting ready for PIGS…
But while I’ve been doing mah chores… THIS song has been literally flowing through my mind, body and spirit. “Earworms” are fun that way. No internet or electrical connections needed. Wherever I go I’ve got a full music station broadcasting in my brain…
While it’s a little daunting to think of all the OTHER songs that I “wasgonna” record after this one… they just had to pick a number and wait in line. Working on this and then setting it aside, then working on it some more, then setting it aside again, revealed a process that I think is healthy in creative and spiritual endeavors as well as gardening.
My mom used to have a refrigerator magnet that said, “God’s delays are not God’s denials…”
It’s a PROCESS!
Plant the seed. Make sure it’s watered. Let it germinate. Let it begin to grow.
Come back and check on it.
Fertilize it.
Transplant it to a larger pot.
water it.
fertilize it.
prune it.
transplant it to a larger pot or into a garden bed.
water it.
fertilize it.
prune it.
water it.
fertilize it.
prune it. (repeat as necessary)
…and when it’s perfectly RIPE…Harvest it. Today, THIS song is “ripe!”
Sometimes when it looks like nothing is happening (above ground) a LOT is happening “beneath the surfaces of things…”
I’m especially proud of my electric guitar duet in the solo section but it took several attempts over the course of several weeks and a lot of practice just to get the first part down… and then the second part took even longer…
2 months… for one song. And now it’s time to share it with you.
Thank you for your patience and your persistent support.

Lyrics:
Flow Through Me
9/13/2012 | Song # 453 by Mark Shepard
C G
I allow the Light
C G
To refract off of the surfaces of things
C G
I allow the Light
G D
To penetrate my heart (and cause me to sing)
Cmaj7
And flow through me
G D
Flow through me
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
Flow through me
G D
Flow through me
Cmaj7 G
Flow through me
I allow the Love
To heal me from the inside out
I allow the Love
To turn a whisper into a mighty shout
And flow through me…
refrain:
I allow the strength
To empower me
I allow the strength
To set me free
And flow through me
refrain:
I allow my mind
To release control
I allow my heart
To receive the signals from Home (loud and clear)
And let them flow through me
Refrain: (repeat ad lib)
