Been a lot of work to put this pretty thing together. It gives me a smile almost all the way through just to see the joy in peoples’ faces and the fun stuff that got captured in these few short sessions of filming live performances at Meddlesome Lab. I’ve been helping to run shows at that place for nearly 10 years now, so this song certainly has a special place in my heart. I hope you will watch the video and glean just a bit of the cultural enrichment I’ve been blessed to recieve through such a space. Thanks to all my subscribers for making this sort of thing possible. I think the videos are only going to improve as I learn how to use my camera properly and get better at editing and animation!

Song #47 – Call To Action
I originally intended for this song to be donated to the Bernie Sanders campaign. I am a big fan of his and am proud to have organized two fundraisers here in Rochester, one at the Historic German House and one at Anthology, both having raised enough money to open a campaign office. Both also brought a ton of people together… firstly, I got to pull all of my favorite Rochester artists together for truly inspiring evenings, but we also pulled together with a ton of activists, artists and open minded forward thinkers for two truly revolutionary events. I was a bit bummed he didn’t get the nomination, but the system is quite corrupt, as we all know. I haven’t given up, and I’m glad Bernie hasn’t either! He’s definitely inspired a ton of people of all ages and backgrounds to get involved in the political process, and that is where the true change will occur.
Below are the lyrics and chords for this song in case anyone wishes to know it more intimately than a simple listen.

A call to action I’m making
This time we will take to the sky
That’s it I’m sure we can make it
The devil just spit in my eyeI laughed as he tore off his diaper
Collapsed himself into the fold, a folded wrapper
He laughed at the candy I’d eaten
Collapsed himself into the foldD – Bmin
Bodies wiggling up and down
With your belly tumbling over
Bodies wiggling all around
With then your hands waving over, run
Then stop on a dime and turn
I figured it’s time that you learned
This is a call to action
Action does not require a gunD – A – D – Bmin
That’s it I’m sure we can make it
That’s it I’m sure we can make it
That’s it I’m sure we can make it one dayD – A – D – Bmin – D – A – G
A different flavor where cleverly people enjoy living life
They speak their favorite tongues with a lust for more
Look in their eyes!
They’re wild for the fullest and greatest
To live each day better than truth
A look at the newness of sameness
So different from back in their youthD – Bmin
Bodies wiggling up and down
With your belly tumbling over
Bodies wiggling all around
With then your hands waving over, run
Then stop on a dime and turn
I figured it’s time that you learned
This is a call to action
Action does not require a gunD – A – D – Bmin
That’s it I’m sure we can make it
That’s it I’m sure we can make it
That’s it I’m sure we can make it homeF#min – A – D
I finally sold myself for the right price
Baby gets a bonnet and a pocket full of money
I finally sold myself for the right price
Baby gets a bonnet and a pocket full of money
I finally sold myself, now I’m feeling nice
Living in the way I want doing what I like
I found the universe robbed all of my time away
I felt me get all busy
Forgot to pay attention
Was in detention for the mention of a system wrench
I sorta pissed on it, and it pissed them offBmin – F#min
D – Bmin
Bodies wiggling up and down
With your belly tumbling over
Bodies wiggling all around
With then your hands waving over, run
Then stop on a dime and turn
I figured it’s time that you learned
This is a call to action
Action does not require a gun
Does not require a gun, sonBmin – F#min
In addition to finishing up these songs, I’ve been researching and getting new gear for video making!! I’ve just ordered an awesome new camera and intend to begin really working hard on videos and short films in the coming months!!
As always, thanks a ton for your subscription support! Things are really going to start rolling around here in the coming month or so… I’ll keep you updated first!!
Tons of thanks and hugs, Seth

Secondly, I’ve started a Patreon page for the upcoming couple years in order to focus on making music videos for songs from my #100songs project and webisodes for my rock opera, 23 Psaegz, which will eventually become a full length movie!!!

Holy Mother – Song #42
Getting close to finished with the song part of my #100songs project! So much work!! This song rules. It’s called Holy Mother. It’s about how awesome our planet is. It was recorded by John Kilgore at Kilgore Sound, NYC and co-produced by Jim McElwaine. I’m giving it to you all for free!! I hope you’ll appreciate it. If you like it and want to hear the rest of the songs, please SUBSCRIBE!! It really is the very best way for you to support my continual creation of art. I’ll be working this evening on a new video for Garbage Night with my friend Alex Freeman. I think we should have a teaser for you by the end of the month and are planning release of the video before the October European Tour!

Holy Mother – © ⓟ 2014 Seth Faergolzia, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Moss that creeps, growing slowly ‘cross a stone
Creepy moss, draping over everywhere it can
The moss is draping over everything it can
It can because its nature says it canLong ago in distant lands across galaxies
Flew a stone, came to rest on lonely planet
Soon made home and grew from nearly nothing into life
A home to possibilityA place called Earth, like no other
A place where endless beauty shifts and shapes with life
Some call it our Holy Mother
She holds and guides her children into endless light
AhTake a peek, a look inside a history
Heaven speaks when one has open ears to nature
Moss will creep and crawl across the face of Mother
How she laughs as life will tickle herShe is kind and grants the gifts up from her bosom
Peace of mind when one dwells within her garden
What you’ll find inside her mystic thinking there is moss
A moss that’s creeping over everythingA place called Earth, like no other
A place where endless beauty shifts and shapes with life
Some call it our Holy Mother
She holds and guides her children into endless light
Ah

Song #38 – Waterfall Border *FREE download* – Multibird
How has it gotten so far along in the year without more songs!! Gah! Life. Anyway, this is the first of a whole bunch of songs Multibird got to record with Grammy Award winning engineer, John Kilgore, down in NYC over the past bunch of months. I’ll be releasing them aggressively over the next couple weeks because I owe you guys!! Thanks for sticking it out with me on this subscription project. This is certainly one of my favorite new songs. It was recorded just before the Faergolzia tour in September and October. Musicians on this track include John Ludington, Dominic Marini, Laura Lee Jones and Shaun Jones. It was executively produced by Jim McElwaine. Enjoy!!

Once in a while you may not remember
It’s all still there in the book of life
Written in the atoms your body has touched
News spreads wide of your incredible lifeWhat would we do with an incredible death
When we dream what we want and then it happens to us
How would we do with an incredible zest
Real is the dream, what’s fake is the restOnce in a while you may not remember
It’s all still there in the book of life
Written in the atoms your body has touched
News spreads wide of your incredible lifeCollision with stars and we take a deep breath
Feel a million miles, forget and forget
All the ways that you are
All the things that you were
Become all at once everything everywhere
You won’t miss a thing, won’t think the grass is greener
You are anything, everything, any singer
And when you sing out with ring every voice
Do anything, everything, any choice
And when you sing will sing every voice
And when you sing will sing every voiceOnce in a while you may not remember
It’s all still there in the book of life
Written in the atoms your body has touched
News spreads wide of your incredible lifeWhat would we do with an incredible death
When we dream what we want and then it happens to us
How would we do with an incredible zest
Real is the dream, what’s fake is the restAnd when you sing will sing every voice
And when you sing will sing every voice

Berlin Video – Live
It’s been a busy week! Doing tons of work sitting here at the computer… first scoring out parts for a really long instrumental section in one of my faves from the #100songs project called, “Wander”. It’s a really happy, fun tune that will undoubtedly become a fan favorite in the future. This video was taken at Monroe Community College by a friend on the scene here, Jenn Rekos. It was a fun TV shoot sort of atmosphere with a whole bunch of cameras and people in a booth shouting orders over the headphones of all the camera operators. High pressure, fast paced performance… I think I did ok? You be the judge (actually, don’t judge me! I am super paranoid!!!)
