about

DADGBE - Drop D tuning. Lyrics listed Below.

This recording was done in my living room in the foothills of the Sierras, with a basic Iphone recording application, unedited, on a fender acoustic guitar that I love, that also needs a new neck.

Dandelion comes from the french dent-de-leon, which means tooth of the lion, a phrase the describes the jagged green leaves of the dandelion plant.

Dandelion is one of the most common "yard weeds" in the canker-sore of western Suburban lawn culture. Many of the elementally metal staples of the Standard American approach, like meat-centric eating, alcohol, gluten sugar bombs, coffee, cooked oils, etc., are hard on the liver, which therefore needs a readily accessible remedy.

Through ingesting the bitter medicine of life experience via dandelion leaves, one can move through their stagnant anger or detox overly heat-based foods and feel clear and free to live and act passionately from the heart.

Of course the golden flowers and roots of the dandelion offer wonderful alkaloids as well, the roasted root making an incredibly rich and delicious coffee substitute, the flowers shaping wildcrafted salads into something beautiful beyond words.

Dandelions bloom the song has little or nothing to do with the above information. Perhaps it does in the realm of ideas, yes. But it remains more individuated and inspired in the ways that music and poetry and songs are composed, which for me is in a spontaneous bubbling forth of emotion and creativity that one can fortunately lose oneself in.

And this is where the real magic lies... Absorbing oneself with reckless abandon in anything and everything one can! Remember this.

Dandelions Bloom - Lyrics

Dandelions bloom
In the backs of New Moons
Their seeds fly so far
Floating feathers and falling stars

I've got this secret feeling again
The Mountains on high would climb themselves to know it
The deepest Seas or ancient farmers could never grow it
Yes I seem to have this feeling again

Dandelions bloom
In the blacks of Half Moons
Their seeds fly so far
Floating feathers and falling stars

I've got this aching longing again
To know how much this human song is really worth
Our bleeding Hearts will flow to the end of this flat Earth
Yes I seem to have this longing again

Dandelions bloom
In the cracks of Full Moons
Their seeds fly so far
Floating feathers and falling stars
