Sounds Like1) a ballad of human progress
there's an old country road that leads to a river / an old wooden fence surrounds all the sinners / who stand by their graves / wonderin' what they've done wrong / there's a train whistle blowin' / across a fiery desert / in search for the new land / their treacherous weather is headin' for the mountain / to preach a brand new way / and it's full of politicians / bankers / and lawers / a fast talking man / his armed to destroy us / and keep us from the truth / consume / consume / consume / lies / lies / don't believe them / don't believe them / and westward they head ravaging the villages / they burn all the dead 'cause their world is for the privileged / and you're not one of them / your just a number / so they came up with races / borders and fences / and job occupations / and classifications / their aim is to conquer / divide / divide / divide / lies / lies / don't believe them / don't believe them / don't believe them / don't believe them / we're just ONE race / ONE color / ONE number / we're just ONE man / ONE father / ONE mother / WE MUST UNITE BEFORE THEY TIME OUR LIVES
2) chemical reaction
pull the curtain / cue the band / clear the field where we will land / follow me into a dream / into a scene of... / a chemical reaction / i had a dream you did not care / you would not speak / you were not there / i did not scream / you did not sing / we did not even breath the air / i made a star / you grew a tree / we fell asleep beneath the moon / i was a book / you were a womb / i was a song / you were a tomb / i was a bridge / you were a hook / i was a laugh without a look / i was a field / you were an arm / now a machine to your alarm / we walked around / but upside down / we could now feel the earth was round / i was a cave / you were a light that cast-ed shadows on the ground / i made a storm / you made a sea / we fell asleep beneath the moon / i was a book / you were a womb / i was a song / you were a tomb / i was a bridge you were a hook / i was two eyes without a look / i was a field / you were an arm / now a machine to your alarm / enter a choir / enter a scene / he threw a fire into a dream / became a ghost / became a fiend / became a chemical reaction / please don't bore us with your routine / get to the chorus / that's what we need / pull the curtain / cue the band / clear the field where we will land / follow me into a dream / into a scene / into a chemical reaction
3) silence is golden
silence is golden / when your mind is a scream / your heart is a whisper / just listen / listen / listen / i'm plugged up / somewhat / music constipation / nothing more to say / so i listen / listen / listen / listen / glisten / frogs & crickets / it's all music / it surrounds us / just listen / listen / listen / my brother don't speak / but he's happy / mother don't sleep / but she's funny / sunny / punny / just listen / listen / listen / i'm looking for my center / i'm trying to find my center / where the land meets the sea / and we're al made of water / we'll return one day / until then i will enjoy your company

   About Inaiah Lujan
realeditorbest profile toolsvivadesign

Inaiah Lujan was born in Los Pinos, New Mexico a town he defines by it’s flow of trains and rural feel. Unbelievably, Lujan’s mother endured a miraculous home birth while his father was collecting arrowheads during a rainstorm. Upon seeing his child for the first time, Lujan’s father declared him a future musician because of his “abnormally long fingers.”

Near Los Pinos, NM

With an envisage struggle as a musician, Lujan set out to bring it to fruition. He toyed with a Casio keyboard at age four before moving on to more prestigious pianos and lessons. It was at this point Lujan became aware of his innately coordinate ear, making him capable of playing back virtually any tune he hears, even if he hears it only once. As an impish child, this lead to much trickery.

“I’d actually trick my instructors… repeating what they played by ear,” he says.

At six, Lujan moved with his family to an American Indian reservation in Arizona where his father became a teacher. It was here, he says, he began to appreciate a variety of musical genres, as well as where he taught himself to play the guitar. It was a time of intense growth in which Lujan begin setting himself apart from others through his musical abilities and beliefs.

“It’s a different world on the Navajo reservation, being someone who is seen as an outsider,” he says. “It took a while to win people over.”

PhotobucketAfter dropping out of high school in 2000, the 16-year-old Lujan and his family relocated one final time, this time to Pueblo (Colorado). He befriended one of his now-former band mates, Mike Neergaard, and began playing bass for Neergaard’s punk outfit, initially called “The All-American Rejects. Due to legal trade name issues gave up that moniker and settled on the ironic appellation, A Poor Substitute. The original line-up featured Neergaard (vocals/guitar), Lujan (vocals/bass) and drummer Nick Emery. Bassist Rory Freidenberger joined the group in 2001 and Lujan took on a leadership role, playing electric guitar and fronting the band.

Lujan grew up, musically and emotionally, with this band, making and loosing friends in Pueblo’s volatile and sometimes scarce music scene. Performing at venues like Phil’s Radiator Service and the former C’s Corner Arcade on Evans, A Poor Substitute developed a following of fans still loyal today. The band has progressed during the eight years since it’s inception, as have it’s members, bridging the gap between angsty teen punk and more mature styles of rock.

Since moving to Pueblo eight years ago, Lujan has been an active participant and a primary impetus in Pueblo’s slowly expanding music scene, branching out to other musical media and genres in the process.

Praise for Lujan has increased recently with even The Pueblo Chieftain jumping on the Inaiah bandwagon, branding him “gifted,” and “prolific.” A recent Colorado Springs Independent article described the musician as “a plainly restless soul,” citing his busy project schedule, which includes A Poor Substitute; Southern rock outfit The Haunted Windchimes with sister, Chela Lujan and girlfriend Desirae Garcia; The Mexican with Chela, brother Ravi Trujillo, and Garcia; performances as DJ Flow-Nase; and stripped down solo work for which he appears under his own name.

The Independent raved about The Windchimes, comparing his collaboration with Garcia to the cult-famed coupling of Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris and suggesting “quite possibly the greatest country blues “family” act since the Carters picked up a Cash…”

The Haunted Windchimes
- Chela Lujan, Desirae Garcia & Inaiah Lujan

Many musicians show technical mastery of their instrument of choice; and numerous singer-songwriter indie-folk artist bring unique, if unrefined, vocal qualities to their performance. Many of these attempts are successful on an art, aesthetic, or even commercial level. But Lujan’s musicianship and vocal depth set him apart from the majority of musical artists of his generation. With nuanced musicianship, a boomingly cavernous but not blaring, loamy-textured and soul-informed voice, and lyrics and choices of roots covers that articulate a quintessential and mythic American folk idiom. Lujan’s music is too broad and multi-layered in intention and execution to capture and cage in simple black and white.

Happy Holidays to you. Be well. I've read that the holidays can be very depressing to some. If you know someone like that, share this with them :)

Look at you...standing there...strong...powerful...nothing is impossible for you...no limitations...you are the earth...you are the sky...and they are you...now, laugh...bigger...one of those gut bursting, side hurting, deep belly laughs...that's it. :)

Sometimes when i look around, all i see is misery, despair, frustration and pain...

Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...

And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...

Had a thought while driving home and I wanted to share it. Hope you don’t mind…

When we truly let go of past hurts, hang-ups and disappointments and choose to live in the moment, in the now, in the PRESENT, life truly can be a GIFT.

Hope you liked this one. :)




Also, if you like these, shoot me comments letting me know, join me on my Facebook page and when I send you a link to my website once it gets finished next week, be sure to go it and sign up and I’ll send these to you there as well. Take care
