More Than This

Ah, I remember my very first time dropping acid with my good friend [ironic innit?] Martin, back in the early 90's, I first heard this song... The combination of the two was wondrous and beautiful! I was amazed how true the lyrics hold to my heart! Very strange but not within reach. It was like putting these dream glasses on. The few times that I did acid, I was always with Martin, and we would drive up to Griffin Park everytime, find a good spot and just sit... overlooking the city, the skies and beyond. The trees were greener, the skies were bluer and the city was calmer...

I still look at life much the same way... See what I can see, learn what I can and maybe share whatever I have - if you want it... and be at that. Try not to look for too many answers but to appreciate what's I've been given... here and now.

Listening to the song now.... I never got to say goodbye to Martin. I miss him so.

"Goodbye Martin!"

MORE THAN THIS
I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing?
As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
There's nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going?
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
No, there's nothing
More than this, nothing
More than this
More than this, nothing
