about

This song was inspired by an older Navajo man I met while staying on a secluded ranch in Arizona. We ended up spending a lot of time together, and I was amazed by his wisdom and spiritual presence. He gifted me these beans before I left, which he referred to as Anasazi or "ancient one" (not to be confused with the kind you buy in the store). He said they produce large vines with beautiful orange flowers. We finally bought a house and will be planting them this year. My song is about a mystical plant that divulges the hidden secrets of the universe. Let's hope it's true.

lyrics

Verse
Out in the desert
I met a spiritual man
We became quick friends
And he surprised me

He pulled some seeds from his pocket
He said they don't have a name
We call them the ancient ones
The orange vines will amaze

Chorus
Plant these seeds,
Watch them grow
Let the vines entice you
Learn it's secrets
But never tell a soul

Watch them dance
See them glow
Let them mesmerize you
Learn it's secrets
But never tell a soul

Verse
Back in my home town
I dug a hole in the yard
I tended to the plants
And watched as they grew up

The beautiful color
I stared for hours a day
I started hearing voices
What are they saying

Bridge
I understand, I understand
The secrets whispered by the land
It's all so clear
There's really nothing to fear

I understand, I understand
The secrets whispered by the land
The universe, it all makes sense
But I can't speak to anyone

Chorus
Plant these seeds,
Watch them grow
Let the vines entice you
Learn it's secrets
But never tell a soul

Watch them dance
See them glow
Let them mesmerize you
Learn it's secrets
But never tell a soul
