LYRICS

Every time this season comes around, there's something in the air, and there's something in the ground.
You can feel the rise in the children's anticipation.

[chorus]
It wasn't this complicated.
They're pushing us all apart.
They want you to feel isolated.

I like to hear the sound of the Church bells ringing.
I like to see the carolers singing.
I love to see the smiles on the people's faces.

I like the way the lights shimmer in the snow.
I like to see lovers holding hands as the go.
I like to see them stop and kiss underneith the mistletoe.

[chorus]

Everytime this season comes around, there's something in the air, and there's something in the ground.
You can feel the rise in the children's anticipation.

Old friends gathering in bars.
Rosie cheeks on street curbs playing their guitars.
And the sound of coins in the veterans cases.

[chorus x 3]

Music and Lyrics by Julian Smit
LYRICS:

If the Lord whispers in your ear
try to hear him.
Try to hear.

You know he told me to tell you
he'll be coming home
בשנה הבאה בירושלים
And leave Judaea alone

Ever since I was a child I've lived in fear of his might.
From the moment that he told me that my aunt would die that night.
And he was right.

Lyrics inspired in part by @thedadbodveteran - worth checking out!

LYRICS:

It's 10 PM. Do you know where your children are?

I'd suggest that you try not to mess with the latchkey kids if you care for your lives.
We're the last ones who know how it was and we're only the ones who survived.

We're the reason that you've got warning labels.
We're the reason that they Nurf your world.
We're the reason that your mother made you wear a helmet.
She's the reason that you may not ever kiss a girl.

We were told that when we got older we would take over such a beautiful world.
Well, here we are looking over your shoulder.
But it's never over, you taking it all for yourselves.

You're the reason that they need safe spaces.
We were all just gettin' on fine!
And every year you inject your faces.
Trying to keep up with the bloating of time and wine.

LYRICS
Tick Tock goes the clock.
Tick Tock goes the clock.
Tick Tock goes the clock.
Tick Tock goes the clock, let's rick.

Time isn't heavy, all under heaven,
from the day you were born 'till you reap what you planted.
It's an illusion, but don't be confused.
It's still alive in the sound you are tuned to.

(Verse 1 &3)
Welcome to the crazy train.
You don't need a ticket but the crew is insane.
You might be wishing now you took the plane.
But don't you worry honey, we'll try to keep it sunny.

If you look to your left or you look to your right
The crazy train rolls through crazy town all night.
We don't know where we're going but we'll never turn back.
It's like the Hotel California on a railroad track.

(Chorus)
We think we'll be safe if we never slow down.
We're gonna keep on rollin' 'till we clear this town.
For all we know we're gonna jump the cliff.
And many years from now folks will wonder what if? ... Did they make it?

(Verse 2)
All aboard the crazy train.
Our brakeman had another dance with Jane.
You might be nervous but he feels no pain.
So don't you worry honey, we always keep it sunny.

Now we don't stop for nothin' there's a circus outside.
And we all know they want to come along for the ride.
But the dining car's full and so is the bar.
And none of them seem to even know where they are.

(Conductor Announcement)
Ladies and gentlemen this is the conductor speaking. Welcome aboard. The snack cart will be swinging around again shortly.
I recommend the Gummies. There is live music playing in the caboose.
You'll find hors d'oeuvres and cocktails in car number nine.
Don't forget to check your raffle tickets in case you might be a winner.
And you can always consult our psychic chicken. He can predict what's for dinner. So on behalf of myself and the crew, thank you for riding the Crazy Train.

🎵ITSY BITSY SPIDER 🕷️ music and lyrics by Julian Smit

LYRICS:

Isty Bitsy Spider crawled up the water spout.
He ran into a bit of trouble and he started to doubt himself.
He began to question the way that he lived,
the whole meaning of life, the way he treated his wife.
And so he went to the doctor and he said I'm confused.
The doctor told him that "you probably got a case of the blues".
And so he crawled back home to the edge of his well.
He said "Honey I'm going 'cause you put me through hell!"

Now Mrs. Itsy Bitsy was feeling kind of tipsy.
From the morning she'd been drinking.
All the while she had been thinking and stewing and brewing over how her Itsy was gone.
And how the way that he left her at the well was wrong.
And so she packed all her bags and decided to fly.
She told herself that she'd find herself a much better guy.
And as she closed the door she said "It's just as well. You know that I'm glad that he's gone 'cause he put me through hell".

ABOUT THE BAND:
On a September weekend in the early 1970’s, having overdosed on a staggering quantity of various substances, The Who’s legendary drummer Keith Moon was admitted to a hospital on the edge of London to get his stomach pumped, while unbeknownst to him, Chunky Axe was being birthed in a nearby ward. A few years later, during the height of the Watergate scandal, the Russian spacecraft Soyuz 14 successfully landed back on Earth after a mission to explore the military applications of spaceflight, while thousands of miles away in Montreal, an expecting mother’s long ordeal was finally mitigated with a pair of tongs and Rusty Chops breathed his first. The two met in Toronto in the dying days of the cold war, and began a long- standing collaboration, of which Old Scar Avatar is the latest incarnation, and to those who aided in this presentation, they would like to express their appreciation without reservation.

LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
I'm up to my eyes in a world full of lies.
I wouldn't be inclined otherwise to tell you about the time I was thrown under a spell.
And the crones were aware like an Orwellian nightmare.

Two and two will always be four.
One said, "It's not a hill that's worth dying for. I'll tell you when it is. Think about the moral points son.
There was no bet, it was tongue-in-cheek."

[CHORUS]:
I want to be free but the dreams won't stop.
I'm trying to get out but I just can't, I just can't!
And everybody sees that the fire has grown out of control.
While they're dancing to the "Stop, Drop and Roll".

[REFRAIN]
I'll never be the same.
It's driving me insane.
Barbie made her bed with Jane.

[VERSE 2]
I'm up to my head and I can't go to bed.
I should be doing work, but I've been doing this instead.
What was that something that you said about a "race"?
Hey Barbie, why don't you come and say it to my face?

[CHORUS x 2]
[REFRAIN]

I've been doing this for the last three years, but this is the first year I took pictures of at least most of them (keeping in mind I have my son 50/50). Combined, it seems like a lot of work, but honestly, it's a great example of how small incremental progress adds up.

The real reason I was not permitted to stay at this event was because it was an event about trauma and compassion. As someone who has suffered trauma symptoms for the past 3 years as a consequence of my experience with collaborative professionals, I am of the belief that Collaborative Divorce needs to be regulated. They don't like me for that, and some in particular don't want me to speak the truth about what happened in my case.

The way I see it, Collaborative Law is an unregulated cabal nestled within a self-regulated cabal. The judges have been removed from the equation and these "professionals" do not want anyone looking into how they conduct themselves.

Without going into the details of what they did, I experienced it as nothing short of a psychological group assault. I wish there were valid avenues to pursue the truth of my story, but there are not. I'll admit, I think online reviews demean us all. But I fear what happened to me has become all too common in recent years, and I don't imagine many men feel they can discuss it. Because really, they can't. This is only likely to bring me hardship.

But I don't want my son to grow up in a world that treats men this way. If I can prevent what happened to me from happening to one other man, it will be worth it.

If I were a woman, what I did by walking into this event (walking into the lions den) would be considered brave. But I'm not, and not about to pretend to be one.

Experts explain how collaborative divorce works.

The best way to describe how the collaborative divorce process works is the story of the orange.

The other member of the collaborative divorce team is a trained mental health professional but these people do not do therapy—rather they help clients develop their parenting plan if they have children and they coach the clients on communication techniques that will help them keep the process moving--communication breakdowns slow the process down which ends up costing the clients’ money.

The benefit of a collaborative divorce is that you move through the system more efficiently and more quickly than you normally do through traditional litigation.
